Button function (Fig. 31)
All control elements are supplied in "Rocker" operating
mode ex factory. This means:
» Operation on the top activates or gives a movement
up command,
» Operation on the bottom deactivates or gives a
movement down command,
The operating mode can also be changed to "Push-
button" mode via the channel selection of the respective
sensor in the "Device settings". The control element then
acts as two separate push-buttons. This means:
» Operation on top switches on,
» Repeat of operation on top switches off.
Example of application: The control element is to switch
a scene. A scene can only be triggered, but not switched
on and off. Through the parameterization as push-button
a sensor can activate two different scenes.
Important : The setting becomes visible only after the
sensor has been positioned in the allocation.
After the changeover a separate sensor icon is displayed
on the floor plan for each of the push-buttons!
LED behaviour of light for orientation
Each rocker of a sensor has an LED. At the point of deliv-
ery this LED is configured as light for orientation. This
means:
» The LED lights up permanently, to ensure that the
sensor is easy to locate in the dark.
The brightness of the LED can be changed or totally de-
activated in the device settings.
LED behaviour for status indication
For the status indication the LED of the rocker can be re-
configured in the device settings. If the sensor is linked
with an actuator, the LED signals whether the actuator is
on or off.
The clear indication of the actuator status is guaranteed
as long as only one sensor is linked with one or several
actuators or several sensors activate an identical group of
actuators (Fig. 32).
If several sensors activate different groups of actuators
the correct indication of the actuator status is no longer
guaranteed (Fig. 33).
