1. Description

The 

KNX L brightness sensor

 measures the intensity of illumination and transfers

the value to the KNX system. Six switching outputs with adjustable threshold values
as well as additional AND and OR logic gates are available. The sensor system, the eva-
luation electronics and the electronics of the bus connection are mounted in a compact
housing.

Functions:

Brightness measurement

: The current light intensity is measured by a 

sensor

3 switching outputs for twilight

 (up to 1000 lux), 3 for 

daylight

 (1-99 klux), 

each with adjustable threshold values (Threshold values can be set by 
parameter or via communication objects)

8 AND and 8 OR logic gates

 with each 4 inputs. Every switching incident as 

well as 8 logic inputs (in the form of communication objects) may be used as 
inputs for the logic gates. The output of each gate may optionally be configured 
as 1 bit or 2 x 8 bits

Configuration is made using the KNX software ETS. The 

programme file

 (format

VD2), the data sheet and the manual can be downloaded from the Elsner Elektronik
homepage on 

www.elsner-elektronik.de

 in the “Service” menu.
