Three simple push buttons and actuator with 8 A change-over
relay output, to be completed with interchangeable 1 or - 3
module buttons.
Device to be used as three single buttons or one single and one double, depending on the button. The
push button can be configured independently from the relay too. The push button can only be pressed
at the bottom.
CHARACTERISTICS.
• Rated supply voltage: BUS 29 V
• Input: 16 mA
• Changeover relay output
• Controllable loads at 120-230 V~ (contact NO):
- resistive loads: 8 A (20.000 cycles)
- incandescent lamps: 8 A (20.000 cycles)
- fluorescent lamps and energy saving lamps: 1 A (20.000 cycles)
- electronic transformers: 4 A (20.000 cycles)
- ferromagnetic transformers: 8 A (20.000 cycles)
• Controllable loads at 120-230 V~ (contacts NC and NO):
- motors cos ø 0.6: 3,5 A (100.000 cycles)
• Button: 1 double, 1 single or 3 single ones.
• Terminals: TP BUS, relay contacts (NO, C, NC)
• Possible functions:
- state reversal (step-by-step)
- button
- control ON only
- control OFF only
- scenario activation.
•
Consist with By-me flush and surface mounting control units, rel.2.0 and next and By-me
2-module control units, rel. 2.0 and next.
CONFIGURATION.
FOR THE OPERATIONS OF INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION, SEE THE By-me SYSTEM
INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL ATTACHED TO THE CONTROL UNIT.
Configuration must be done with the device without the key to be able to press the central configura-
tion button. The device can be used as three single buttons or one double push-button and a single one.
• Functional blocks: 4 (3 buttons, 1 relay), each functional block can belong to at most 4 groups.
• Selecting the functional block (configuration): during group creation, when the control unit requires
pressing the device button:
- press the configuration button;
- if the device must be configured as three single push-buttons, within 3 s, press the right-hand
button to select the right functional unit, the middle button to select the middle functional unit or the
left-hand button to select the left functional unit; the red LED illuminates. If none of the three buttons
is pressed within approximately 3 s the red LED will light up; in this case the functional block selected
is the 4th, referring to the actuator.
- if the device must be configured used as a double and a single push-button, proceed as follows:
• configure the left functional unit in the case in which you want a push-button with two modules on
the left of the device (left middle button) and then configure the right functional unit (right
button);
• configure the middle functional unit in the case in which you want a push-button with two modules
on the right of the device (middle right button) and then configure the left functional unit
(left button).
- with the red LED on, the control unit will configure the functional block; at the end of this operation
the red LED will go out.
When the device is not configured, the actuator is controlled by the left-hand button and can already be used.
PARAMETERS.
• For the functional blocks related to the tree buttons it is possible to set the operating mode:
- simple button (ON when pressed, OFF when released);
- ON/OFF button (step-by-step);
- button ON only;
- button OFF only;
- scenario control.
• LED parameters:
- LED off;
- LED with normal operation (on if the associated actuator is ON);
- LED with reverse operation;
- LED always on for location in the dark.
- central LED with normal operation (Double button);
- central LED with reverse operation (Double button);
- central LED always on for location in the dark (Double button).
If the functional block belongs to more than one group, the “LED with normal operation” and “LED
with reverse operation” parameters are not available. In these cases the control is confirmed by a
LED status change for 3 s.
If a double key is used, it is necessary to set the central LED behaviour to make the status visible.
In this case, configure the left button if the double button is on the left of the device or the middle
button if the double button is on the right.
• Functional block 4, related to the relay (see figure 1):
- one- or two-position stable operation;
- on delay and off delay: a value between 0 and 200 gives the time in seconds, a value between 201
and 250 gives the time in minutes (for example 201 = 1 minute, 202 = 2 minutes, etc.);
Monostable operation.
On delay: delay in closing the NO contact of the relay from receiving the close command.
Off delay: time for which the relay has the NO contact closed.
Bistable operation.
On delay: delay in closing the NO contact of the relay from receiving the ON command.
Off delay: delay in opening the NO contact of the relay from receiving the OFF command.
Note.
If a group is created with a number of relays in one-position stable mode, set for all the same on and
off delays and do not insert any other types of actuator in the same group; in this way, it is possible to
have the status of the one-position stable relay indicated on the control button. For special require-
ments it is possible to use the group depth (for example to switch on two-position stable relays or
dimmers with a single button).
• Default parameters: the two keys are enabled as a dimmer control and LED in normal operation;
relay set on two-position stable operation with null on and off delay. The buttons are set as ON/OFF
push-buttons (step step) and LED in normal operation.
SCENARIOS.
Each simple button can be dedicated to activating one scenario. The actuator can belong to multiple
scenarios and, for each one of them, save the status to retrieve when activating the scenario. For
further details see the control panel manual
INSTALLATION RULES.
Installation should be carried out observing current installation regulations for electrical systems in the
country where the products are installed.
The feeding circuit of the relay output must be protected against overloads by a device, fuse or auto-
matic circuit breaker, with rated current not higher than 10 A. For further instructions, please see the
manual attached to the control panel.
