1. DESCRIPTION
The switching module switches and controls wall outlets and other electrical devices by means of contactors. In
push button mode together with the Niko range of push button dimmers, the module can also be used as a dim
controller for light circuits. The switching modules operates both in centralized and decentralized installations
(fig. 1 & 2) and fits into any DIN-rail distribution board (14U wide). The module has its own galvanically isolated
power supply, a special output for the bus cable, a detection circuit, diagnosis functions, an EEPROM memory,
programming keys, a micro processor, a LED interface, relays and indicators for all functions. The switching
module is provided with 2 prewired, separated circuits with 1-pole relay output contacts (1x3 and 1x6 contacts).
The module is provided with 3 separate output circuits 1 of which has a changeover contact (in total: 12 outputs).
The module has a non-volatile memory. In case of a power cut, no battery is required. The memory can always
be reprogrammed and exchanged without opening the module (EEPROM).
Attention:
The changeover contact (output 6) is not suitable for control of fluorescent lamps with parallel
compensation.
2. OPERATION AND USE
If more than 12 outputs are required, several modules can be connected in parallel. Take into account the bus
polarity. Output B1 of the first module must be connected to output B1 of the second module. One of these
modules takes over the power supply for the bus; the power supply of the other modules is automatically
switched off. The different functions of the bus push buttons are programmed by means of the ‘mode’-key. On
the output terminals, both the neutral conductor and the switched phase are available. After a power cut, the
outputs that were activated before, are turned back on (with some time delay) in order to avoid current peaks.
Every module can realize a LED feedback (for the LEDs of the bus push buttons) on three outputs (10, 11 and
12). These LEDs are supplied via an external transformer. The feedback is not transmitted through the bus and
requires two additional wires in the bus cable. The module is provided with 2 binary 230V~ inputs. These can
be used both as ‘switch input’ and as ‘enable function input’.
In a three-phase connection, a separate phase may be used per circuit, but only with the same phase in one
group.
The separate circuits/contacts L4, L5, L6 may not be used for the wiring of SELV circuits.
2.1. Start-up function
Briefly press the ‘select’ key in order to select the outputs manually. Press longer (>1s.) in order to temporarily
switch on the output:
• if the bus is not yet installed;
• to control the outputs in case of a failure on the bus (short circuit or open circuit)
• to test or locate output circuits.
2.2. Diagnosis reporting
During normal operation (not during programming) there is continuous reporting on the ‘mode’-LEDs:
M1 lights when receiving a correct Nikobus telegram (blinks in case of wrong data)
M2 blinks in case of short circuit or bus polarization errors (e.g. exchange of bus polarity between 2 modules)
M3 blinks in case of errors of the bus power supply (bus supply circuit error)
M4 blinks in case of a memory communication error (e.g. EEPROM error) or when using a wrong type of module
(e.g. memory of a shutter unit in a switching unit).
2.3. External 230V~ inputs with ‘logical’ functions
The 230V~ inputs ‘A’ and ‘B’ can be used both as switch inputs and as ‘enable function inputs’.
2.3.1. Use as switch input
- The outputs react to the input changes, depending on the mode.
- The action is always carried out, independent of what is happening on the bus.
- These inputs signals take priority over the Nikobus telegram.
- After a power cut, the functions are carried out according to the input status.
These inputs can also be programmed by means of the logical ‘AND’ function. This way, outdoor lighting can
e.g. be switched on when both the time switch and the twilight switch are ‘ON’.
2.3.2. Use as enable function
During programming, an additional condition can be given via an external 230V~ input. The action will either or
not be carried out, depending on the status of the input. This way, a shutter can e.g. be controlled by means of
a bus push button if a twighlight switch reports that it is dark.
2.4. Central functions with operating time (1 to 3s., for mode M2 and M3)
The operating time can be set between 1 and 3s. For security reasons an application can be e.g.: press 2s. on
the bus push button in order to turn off all lights. Another application can be: assign several actions to one push
button in function of the operating time.
2.5. Sequencer (mode M13)
Especially suitable for applications for which the load needs to be distributed due to capacity restrictions. E.g. lawn
sprinkler system, nursery or greengrocery installation, controlled ventilation system. Also suitable for switching in
sequences in nursery gardens for light sensitive plants in order to not turn on the full brightness at once.
2.6. Light atmospheres (mode M14 and M15)
You can set a number of outputs (e.g. lamps) ‘on’ or ‘off’ according to your personal choice. Press the ‘light
atmosphere’ key long in order to save this light scene. Press the ‘light atmosphere’ key briefly in order to recall
this light atmosphere. You can always modify the light atmosphere by programming a new setting and saving
it in the memory by means of a long press on the ‘light atmosphere’ key. This way, the old light atmopshere is
overwritten. Every bus push button as well as the external 230V~ inputs can be used as light atmosphere keys.
By means of M14, a light atmosphere can only be switched on. Afterwards, every output is individually switched.
By means of M15, a light atmosphere can be completely switched on or off.
