Read the complete manual before carrying out the installation and activating the system.
1. DESCRIPTION
The switching unit controls wall outlets and other electrical devices by means of relays. The unit provides a means
of dimming using Niko DIN-rail dimmers. The switching unit operates both in a centralised and a decentralised
installation (fig.1 & 2) and fits into any DIN-rail distribution board (4U wide). The unit has its own galvanically
isolated power supply, a special output for the bus cable, a detection circuit, diagnostic functions, an EEPROM
memory, programming keys, a microprocessor, outputs for status LEDs, relays and indicator lamps for each function.
The switching unit has 4 separate circuits with 1-pole relay output contacts. If more outputs are required, you
can connect several modules in parallel. In this case, take into account the bus polarity. Connect output B1 of
the first module to output B1 of the second module. One of these modules takes over the supply for the bus,
while the power supply of the others is switched off automatically. You can set the different functions of the push
buttons by means of the mode-key. After a power cut, the outputs are activated with some time delay in order
to avoid a current peak. The memory is non-volatile. In case of a a power failure, a battery is not required. The
memory can always be reprogrammed without opening the unit (EEPROM).
2. PARTICULARS
Startup function
Press the select-key briefly in order to select the outputs manually. Press long (>1s.) to temporarily switch on
the output:
• if the bus is not yet installed
• to control the outputs in case of a bus fault (short circuit or interruption)
• to test or localize output circuits.
Diagnostic functions
During normal operation (not during programming), there is a continuous diagnosis reporting on the 7-segment
display:
• a horizontal dash lights in case a correct Nikobus telegram is received
• a capital A blinks in case of short circuit or polarization errors (e.g. change in bus polarity between 2 modules)
• a small b blinks in case of bus power supply errors (circuit defect)
• a capital C blinks in case of a memory communication error (e.g. EEPROM defect) or in case a wrong module
type is used (e.g. shutter control module memory located in a dim controller).
Central functions with operating time (1 to 3s. for modes M2 and M3)
The operating time can be set between 1s. and 3s. One application may be for safety reasons: press a key for
2s. in order to switch off all lights. Another application: different actions are assigned to one key in function of
the operating time.
Sequencer (mode M13)
Especially suitable for applications for which the load needs to be distributed due to supply restrictions, e.g. lawn
sprinkler systems, nursery or greengrocery installations, controlled ventilation systems. Also suitable to switch in
sequences in rooms with light-sensitive plants in order to not turn on the light at full brightness at once.
Light atmospheres (mode M14 and M15)
In order to create light atmospheres, you can switch a specified number of outputs (e.g. lamps) on or off. Press
the light atmopshere key long to program the light atmosphere. Press this key briefly in order to retrieve the light
atmosphere. You can always modify the light atmosphere by programming and retrieving a new atmosphere.
Press the light atmosphere key long in order to overwrite the previous atmosphere.
Each bus push button can be defined as light atmosphere key.
M14 can only switch on a light atmosphere, afterwards every output is switched individually.
M15 can switch a light atmosphere completely on or off.

4. WARNINGS REGARDING INSTALLATION
• The installation should be carried out by a registered installer and in compliance with the statutory regulations.
• This user manual should be presented to the user. It should be included in the electrical installation file, and
it should be passed on to any new owners. Additional copies are available on the Niko website or via the
Niko support service.
• During installation, the following should be taken into account (non-exhaustive list):
- the statutory laws, standards and regulations.
- the technology currently available at the time of installation.
- this user manual, which only states general regulations and should therefore be read within the scope of
each specific installation.
- the rules of proper workmanship.
This product complies with all of the relevant European guidelines and regulations. If applicable, you can find
the EC declaration of conformity regarding this product at www.niko.eu.
