Installation and commissioning

• 

Use a standard European backbox with screws. The distance between the screws needs to be 60mm. The depth required is 

24mm, however additional depth should be reserved for connecting the device.

• 

Mount Sentido with the temperature sensor upwards. If not, make sure to indicate the position of the temperature sensor in 

ETS when commissioning the switch. Use screws with a countersunk, flat head and do not apply too much force as this might 

deform the plastic housing.

• 

Connect the switch to the KNX bus according to the KNX guidelines.

• 

Load the physical address into the Sentido switch from ETS via the KNX bus.

• 

Commission the Sentido switch using ETS and load the configuration into the device. 

 

Note: When using the dual Sentido front cover, configure the switch as 2-fold in ETS, only sensor 1 and 4 will be used. 

Note

Sentido can also be placed in programming mode by touching one surface and simultaneously tapping four times on the 

surface diagonally opposite this surface.

 

How to mount the Sentido front cover 

(Not included)

Only install the Sentido front cover while the switch is not powered.

Push the Sentido front cover firmly onto the Sentido switch. The front cover is fixed to the switch by the clipsing system. Make sure 

the cover is mounted using all 4 clips.

Power the device once the front cover is mounted. Calibration will be initiated.

Calibration

In order to function properly, the sensors of the Sentido switch need to calibrate to the environment. This calibration starts when 

bus power is applied, when a cover is installed or can be forced when the sensors detect a touch for more than 40 seconds.

During calibration the RGB led will light up blue and slowly fade up and down. Make sure not to touch the cover when the 

calibration process is ongoing! At the end of calibration the RGB led will blink green. The switch is now ready to be used.

LED feedback

When touching a single surface, the central LED turns white. Touching more than one surface at the same time will activate the 

multi-touch function and the LED turns orange as a visual feedback. The multicolour LED can be configured to provide visual 

feedback when using the scene sequencer and the RGB sequencer. 

The LED can also be used as backlight to light up the switch in the dark.

How to remove the Sentido front cover

We provide the ‘tube’ tool to easily remove the Sentido front cover.

 

Do not use a screwdriver or other tools, as these might damage the cover.
