4 Configuration
The exact functionality of the device depends on the software settings.
In order to configure and commission the device you need ETS4 or later releases and the proper ekinex
®
application program APEKGA1TP##.knxprod , which can be downloaded from the ekinex
®
website
www.ekinex.com.
The application program allows the configuration of all working parameters for the device.
The device-specific application program has to be loaded into ETS or, as alternative, the whole ekinex ®
product database can be loaded; at this point, all the instances of the selected device type can be added to
the project.
For every single device, ETS allows to set the operating parameters individually for each input as described
in detail in the following chapters.
The configuration can, and usually will, be performed completely offline; the actual transfer of the
programmed configuration to the device takes place during commissioning phase.

5 Commissioning
After the device has been configured within the ETS project according to user requirements, the
commissioning of the device requires the following activities:

electrically connect the device, as described in the product datasheet, to the bus line on the final
network or through a properly setup network for programming;

apply power to the bus;

switch device operation to 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 steady;

upload the configuration (including the physical address) to the device with ETS program.
At the end of the upload, the operation of the device automatically returns to normal mode; in this mode the
programming LED is turned off. Now the device is programmed and ready for use on the bus.
