Sensors and control elements
Control elements
Control elements can be used for the execution of differ-
ent functions, e.g. switching lights, dimming lights, calling
up scenes and moving blinds. They can be configured for
controlling individual functions, for the execution of group
functions or scenes.
A control element consists of a 1gang or 2gang sensor
unit, or a sensor/actuator unit and one/two rocker(s).
Sensor unit
The sensor unit serves as a pure control element, i.e.
manual switching commands of the user are recorded and
sent to the bus. Remote actuators can be switched via the
configuration. Loads can not be switched directly.
Sensor/actuator unit
Aside from their function as control element, sen-
sor/actuator units also serve as switch for the switching of
loads. The sensors and switching channels are pre-
programmed when supplied, i.e. after activating the bus
voltage and connecting the load, it can be switched direct-
ly on the control element.
Control element order items (Fig. 29)
The scope of delivery of the sensor unit, or the sen-
sor/switch actuators, contains only the electronic insert. It
must still be completed with a suitable rocker and a cover
frame.
Rockers for control elements (Fig. 30)
The rockers of the control elements are available for the
switch ranges solo, future, carat, Busch-axcent, and SI in
the colours studio white, anthracite, aluminium silver, as
well as white and alpine white. Depending on their use,
the rockers can be selected with different printing.
