V4 or later releases. These activities must be carried out
according to the design of the building automation system
done by a qualified planner.
Configuration
For the configuration of the device parameters the corre-
sponding application program or the whole ekinex
®
pro-
duct database must be loaded in the ETS program. For
detailed information on configuration options, refer to the
application manual of the device available on the website
www.ekinex.com

technical standards and laws of the respective countri-
es
• The use of the device in security applications is not al-
lowed.The device may however be used for auxiliary
Marks
• KNX
• CE: the device complies with the Low Voltage Directi-
ve (2006/95/EC) and the Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/108/EC). Tests carried out according
to EN 50491-2:2010, EN 50491-3:2009, EN 50491-4-

Maintenance
The device is maintenance-free. To clean use a dry cloth.
It must be avoided the use of solvents or other aggressive
substances.
Warning! Incorrect disposal of this product may
cause serious damage to the environment and hu-
man health. Please be informed about the correct
disposal procedures for waste collecting and pro-
cessing provided by local authorities.
Warning! Sockets controlled via bus must be cle-
arly identified. Controlling loads with mobile installa-
tion (e.g. household appliances connected to mains
sockets) must be planned and realized with a care-
ful evaluation of the risks that may arise in the case
of control without direct visual contact with the load
(remote control). Connecting loads different than
those planned, remote controlling without direct ve-
rification of the current conditions of the connected
load or automatic controlling based on scenes or
time-scheduling can cause serious damage to pe-
ople and objects.

bus KNX
• recommended wire stripping approx. 6 mm
• torque max 0.8 Nm
In case of connection of loads powered at SELV voltage,
it is necessary to leave an output channel unused (cor-
responding to a pair of terminals) between the outputs
connected to loads with different voltages.
• switch the device operation to the programming mode
by pressing the programming pushbutton located on
the front side of the housing. In this mode of operation,
the programming LED is turned on;
• download into the device the physical address and the
configuration with the ETS
®
program.
At the end of the download the operation of the device
automatically returns to normal mode; in this mode the
programming LED is turned off. Now the bus device is
programmed and ready for use.
