Connection of the KNX bus line

The connection of the KNX bus line is made with the ter-

minal block (red / black) included in delivery and inserted 

into the slot at the bottom of the housing. 

Characteristics of the KNX terminal block
•  spring clamping of conductors

•  4 seats for conductors for each polarity

•  terminal suitable for KNX bus cable with single-wire 

conductors and diameter between 0.6 and 0.8 mm

•  recommended wire stripping approx. 5 mm

• 

color  codification:  red  =  +  (positive)  bus  conductor, 

black = - (negative) bus conductor

Warning!

 The electrical connection of the device can 

be carried out only by qualified personnel. The incor

-

rect  installation  may  result  in  electric  shock  or  fire. 

Before making the electrical connections, make sure 

the power supply has been turned off.

Configuration and commissioning

Configuration  and  commissioning  of  the  device  require 

the use of the ETS® (Engineering Tool Software) program 

V4 or later releases. These activities must be carried out 

according to the design of the building automation system 

done by a qualified planner.

Note.

 The configuration and commissioning of KNX 

devices require specialized skills.To acquire these 

skills, you should attend the workshops at KNX certi-

fied training centers.

Configuration
For the configuration of the device parameters the corre

-

sponding application program or the whole ekinex® pro-

duct database must be loaded in the ETS program. For 

detailed information on configuration options, refer to the 

application manual of the device available on the website 

www.ekinex.com.

Commissioning
For commissioning the device the following activities are 

required:

•  make the electrical connections as described above;

•  turn on the bus power supply;

•  switch the device operation to the programming mode

•  by pressing the programming pushbutton located on 

the front side of the housing. In this mode of operation, 

the programming LED is turned on;

•  download into the device the physical address and the 

configuration with the ETS® program.

At the end of the download the operation of the device 

automatically returns to normal mode; in this mode the 

programming  LED  is  turned  off.  Now  the  bus  device  is 

programmed and ready for use.

Reset of the device

To reset the device remove the bus connection by ex-

tracting the bus terminal from its seat. Keeping pressed 

the programming pushbutton, reinsert the bus terminal in 

his seat; the programming LED blinks fast. Release the 

programming button and remove the bus terminal again; 

the reset was carried out. Now you need to address and 

configure again the device via ETS.

Warning!

 The reset restores the device back to the 

state of delivery from the factory. The address and 

the value of the parameters set during confi guration 

will be lost.
