Helvar 434 EnOcean Gateway: Installation Guide
Set up EnOcean Gateway using Designer
1. Discover the Gateway in Designer
• Ensure the PC is connected to the lighting router
(e.g. Helvar 920) controlling the lighting network.
• Run Designer software and connect to the
appropriate workgroup.
• ‘EnOcean Gateway 434‘ now appears in the Device
Tree, under one of the connected DALI subnets.
Note:
You cannot put the Gateway in a group. You can
group the buttons of the switch units (when the switch
unit is paired with the Gateway) .
2. Put the Gateway in Learning Mode
• In Designer’s Device Tree, click ‘EnOcean Gateway 434’.
• In the Properties window, set ‘Learning Mode’ either
to ‘Top is Off’, or to ‘Top is On’. If you are not going
to use these default settings, choose either mode.
In Learning Mode, the status LED will flash red at
intervals of 1.25 s.
Note:
The Gateway cannot be used to control the lights
while in Learning Mode.
3. Pair the Switch Unit with the Gateway
• On the EnOcean switch unit, press the left button up
or down (dual rocker switch) or the up or down button
(single rocker switch). Make sure the switch is within
signal range of the Gateway unit.

• The Gateway detects the switch. The status LED flashes
green. After a few seconds, the switch appears in the
Device Tree.
Note:
If the switch does not appear in the Device Tree,
check DALI network activity in the DALI History window
(View > History >
DALI Subnet
).
To pair other switches (maximum 20 per Gateway), repeat
step 3.
4. Turn off Learning Mode
• In the Device Tree, click ‘EnOcean Gateway 434’ and
select ‘Properties’.
• In the Properties window, set ‘Learning Mode’ to ‘OFF’.
The status LED will stop flashing red.
Note:
The Gateway, now out of Learning Mode, can send
commands to the lighting network.
5. Group Buttons and Configure Button Actions
-
If you are not going to use the default switch unit settings,
configure the button actions using Designer (see the “Device
Configuration” section of the Designer Help files).
The Gateway and switches should now be operational.
