Velbus manual VMB6IN– edition 1 – rev.1.0

Reaction time:
The push buttons have a default short reaction time (65ms). There is possibility to maintain the input contacts
closed for 1, 2 or 3 seconds until they are considered as being closed.
Follow this procedure:
•
Memorize the address of the module.
•
Make sure the inputs are open (disconnect if necessary)
•
Set the ‘ADDR’ rotary switches on ‘F0’ for a short reaction time (65ms) and press (min. 3 seconds) any
manual control push button you would like to assign this reaction time to.
•
Set the ‘ADDR’ rotary switches on ‘F1’ for a reaction time of 1 second and press (min. 3 seconds) any
manual control push button you would like to assign this reaction time to.
•
Set the ‘ADDR’ rotary switches on ‘F2’ for a reaction time of 2 seconds and press (min. 3 seconds) any
manual control push button you would like to assign this reaction time to.
•
Set the ‘ADDR’ rotary switches on ‘F3’ for a reaction time of 3 seconds and press (min. 3 seconds) any
manual control push button you would like to assign this reaction time to.
In this mode the input indication LEDs will turn on in different ways to indicate the chosen reaction time:
o
Very fast blinking: 65ms
o
Fast blinking: 1s
o
Slow blinking: 2s
o
Continuous:
3s
•
These reaction times are saved into the module (even in case of a power failure).
•
Set the address of the module back to its original value.
Operation:
When closing, maintaining closed (>0.85s) or opening a closed push button, an instruction is being sent through
the VELBUS. These messages identify which push button is closed, maintained closed or opened. Other modules
(relay modules, blind control modules, dimmers ...) connected to the VELBUS can react to this and return an
instruction to the input module, which in turn will turn off, turn on or blink the indication LEDs.
The way a specific push button controls a specific module is described in the learning mode of the module in
question. Make sure the inputs are opened (disconnect if necessary) when activating a learning mode. Use the
manual control of the input module to assign a specific input in the learning mode.
