5. Installation
During both installation and dismantling of the
DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) there is a risk of
fatal electric shocks.
Observe the safety instructions for electrical connection in
chapter 7.
The DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) is intended for ush mounting.
We recommend using a deep box.
You require for installation a 58 mm ush-mounted box.
NOTE
In order to ensure optimal operation, the DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator
(fm) should not be installed on a metallic base or near metal objects.
5.1 Installation procedure
1. Switch o the mains (at the fuse box or consumer unit).
2. Electrical connection in accordance with chapter 7. / 7.1.
3. Reconnect the mains power.
4. Register the DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) in the DuoFern
radio network, see chapter 8.
5. Switch o the mains voltage again after registration has
been successfully completed.
6. Insert the DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) in the ush-
mounted box and lay the connecting cables in the box.
ATTENTION
◆ Avoid bending the antenna too far as it could otherwise break o.
7. Mount the cover plate on the ush-mounted box.
8. Reconnect the mains power.
9. The DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) automatically detects the
connected load.
The DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) is then ready for operation after
approx. 15 seconds.

9. Logging on and o per radio code
You can control the DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) directly using
the radio code in order, for example, to be able to connect further DuoFern
transmitters to the Universal Dimmactuator (fm) after installation. You will
nd the radio code on the enclosed label and on the rear side of the Universal
Dimmactuator (fm).
1. Enter the Universal Dimmactuator (fm)’s radio code in menu
“2.2. Radio code” of the DuoFern central operating unit.
2. Activate and confirm connect / disconnect mode for the
Universal Dimmactuator (fm) on the DuoFern central operating
unit.
3. Call up menu “2. Radio Settings”.
4. Activate function “2.1 Connect/disconnect” on the DuoFern
central operating unit.
5. Connect the Universal Dimmactuator (fm) with the DuoFern
central operating unit or disconnect from the DuoFern central
operating unit.
6. Assign the Universal Dimmactuator (fm) to the respective
groups / member numbers and names.
A more detailed description can be found in the DuoFern central operat-
ing unit’s operating manual.
10. Deleting all settings (Reset)
1. Press the Disconnect button until the indicator LED lights up
continuously red.
2. All of the settings are deleted and the logged in DuoFern trans-
mitters are automatically logged o.
3. All of the settings will be reset to the factory settings. Sub-
sequently, the DuoFern Universal Dimmactuator (fm) will be
reset to its delivery setting.
8. Logging DuoFern transmitters on/o
You must assign every required DuoFern transmitter to the DuoFern Universal
Dimmactuator (fm) in order that the Universal Dimmactuator (fm) can be
controlled with a DuoFern transmitter. You can assign max. 20 DuoFern
transmitters, e. g. DuoFern manual transmitter Standard to the Universal
Dimmactuator (fm).
1. Switch the desired DuoFern transmitter to connect-/ disconnect
mode (please refer to the corresponding operating instructions).
2. Press the “Connect (log-on)” or “Disconnect (log-o)” button
on the upper side of the housing.
3. The Universal Dimmactuator (fm) then transmits either a
log-on or log-o signal. Registering mode remains active for
120 seconds.
4. If registration is successful, the indicator light will light up
green constantly.
5. Register the next DuoFern transmitter. In order to do so, repeat
steps 1 to 3, or else terminate Logging on/o.
NOTE
The indicator LED lights up red if the registration process fails, for
example if:
◆ 20 DuoFern transmitters have already been registered.
◆ A unsuitable device (e. g. other DuoFern actuator) is registered.
◆ An attempt is made to log-o a DuoFern transmitter that is not
logged-on.

Incorrect wiring may lead to short-circuits and
destruction of the device.
◆ Observe the sequence of connector pin assignments in the
wiring diagram and on the type plate.
Connection instructions for local operation
You can use a switch to enable local control via the 230 V control input. The
maximum permissible cable length amounts to 10 m.
IMPORTANT
When the control input is used, the switch and the actuator must be con-
nected to the same phase (L). If the control input is not used, then nothing
may be connected to the terminal!
