Wireless window blind actuator
"RSL" (Flush-mount version)
Item no. 640579
Intended use
The product can be used to control a window blind motor wirelessly by radio.
The transmitter can be any transmitter in the RSL wireless switching system.
The blind actuator may only be used on mains voltage (230 V/AC, 50 Hz). For information on the power input
required, see the section: "Technical Data".
Always observe the safety instructions included in these operating instructions. Please read the operating
instructions carefully and keep them.
Any use other than that described above may damage the product. Moreover, this may give rise to hazards
such as short-circuiting, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product may be modified or converted!
This product complies with the applicable national and European requirements. All names of companies and

Safety instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe these safety
instructions! We do not assume any liability for any consequential damage!
Nor do we assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by improper use
or non-compliance with the safety instructions! The warranty will be void in such cases!
Caution!
This product may only be installed by a qualified technician (e.g., an electrician) who is
familiar with the relevant regulations (e.g., VDE, German electrical wiring regulations)!
Improper work carried out on the mains voltage endangers not only your own life but also
the life of others! There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
If you do not have the expertise required for the installation, do not install it yourself but
ask a qualified technician.
• Unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not allowed for safety and ap-
proval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product!
• The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children! There is the risk of a
fatal electric shock!
• Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although RSL System transmitters
only emit relatively weak radio signals, these may lead to the malfunctioning of life-support
systems. The same may also be the case in other areas.
• The product may only be operated on mains voltage (see sections: "Installation and Connec-
tion" and "Technical Data"). Never try to operate the product at another voltage as this will
cause its destruction.
• Perform installation only when all mains supply cables are disconnected from the mains volt-
age. Otherwise, there is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• The product may be installed and used only in dry indoor spaces; it must not get damp or wet.
Never touch the product with wet or damp hands! There is a risk of a life-threatening electric
shock!
• An all-pole disconnection from the mains voltage (such as a surge protector) must be provided
as part of the wiring set-up.
• Only use the product when it is securely installed and steady. Place the product e.g. into an
appropriate flush-mounted socket.
• Do not use this product in rooms or under adverse environmental conditions where combusti-
ble gases, vapours or dust are or where they may be present! There is a risk of explosion!
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, strong vibrations or heavy me-
chanical stress.
• If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, disconnect the product
immediately and secure it against inadvertent operation. Do not touch the blind actuator or any
device connected to it.
Disconnect the blind actuator from the mains by switching off at the appropriate circuit breaker
or by pulling out the fuse. Furthermore, turn off the earth leakage circuit breaker to disconnect
all the poles of the mains supply. After this, arrange for an expert to check the product.

Preparations for installation
• Only one motor may be connected to the blind actuator.
• The blind actuator cannot detect the end position of the blind. Connect only a motor that can switch itself
off when the end positions at the top and bottom of the blind are reached.
• The blind actuator may be mounted and operated only in a suitable flush-mounted socket. It may only be
operated when it is securely mounted.
• The blind actuator must only be installed when the mains voltage is switched off. Turn off the mains supply
by switching off the appropriate circuit breaker or by pulling out the fuse. Secure it against unauthorised
reconnection, e.g., with a danger sign.
Furthermore, turn off the earth leakage circuit breaker to disconnect all the poles from the mains voltage.
• Check the mains connection for absence of voltage using a suitable tester.

The blind actuator can be used as a complementary component providing an additional wireless operation
function for an existing blind button. This means that the existing button for "Raise/lower blind" remains intact;
however, the motor that was previously operated by it can now also be controlled with a wireless remote
operation of the RSL system.
For this purpose, the flush-mounted box needs sufficient space for installing the blind actuator behind the
blind button. Alternatively, the blind actuator can be inserted in an additional flush-mounted box near the
blind button.
However, you can also completely replace the blind button with the blind actuator, so that the blind motor
can still be operated only by radio. It is not necessary to connect a blind button to the connections "S1,"
"S2" and "S-C"!
• Remove the cover of your existing blind button and remove the button from the wall socket.
• Carry out the electrical connection via the screw clamps (C); see the above diagram.
Connect the screw clamps "S1," "S2" and "S-C" as shown in the figure above with a blind button, if present.
The "S-C" screw clamp is the common connection of both buttons; the connection "S1" serves for the
button function "F" (downwards), the connection "S2" for the button function "S" (upwards).
• Place the blind actuator in the flush-mounted socket in such a way that the control key and the LED point
outward toward you. Ensure that the cables are not pinched or otherwise damaged.
If the blind button still needs to be mounted in the same socket, wait until the programming of the blind
actuator has been carried out; see next chapter.
• It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage,
- the product does not work at all or works poorly (where there is flickering light, leaking
smoke or a smell of burning, audible crackling noises, or discolouration to the product or to
adjacent surfaces.)
- the device has been stored under adverse conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a dangerous
plaything for children.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer's Liability In-
surance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Facilities are to be observed!
• If you have any questions that are not answered in this manual, please contact our technical
service or another specialist.

If the electrical wires for the motor's direction control are accidentally reversed at this point, then
the rotation direction can later be changed during the programming process.
