1. Introduction to the user manual
This manual is intended for use by KNX installers and describes
functions and parameters of the BI04F01KNX and BI08F01KNX
devicesandhowthesettingsandcongurationscanbechanged
using the ETS software tool.
For the technical data of the device and the compatible accesso-
ries, please refer to the datasheet of the device itself.
Meaning of the symbols used
WARNING - The operation or phase described must be
carried out in compliance with the instructions provided
and with the safety standards.
IMPORTANT NOTE - Detailsandspecicationstobere-
spected for the correct functioning of the device.
2. Product overview
The BI04F01KNX and BI08F01KNX devices are equipped
with 4(8) inputs for interfacing dry contacts, for example sen-
sors,switchbuttonsandcanbeconguredforsendingon/o󰀨
commands, dimmers, roller shutters, scene recall and sequen-
ces to the bus.
Thedigitalinputscanbecongured for long or short distan-
ces.
The lines (long distance) can be monitored using an end of
line resistor (EOL) of1.8KΩ[1/8W]valuewhichallowsthede-
vice to manage sensors with a higher level of safety such as
magnetic contacts, motion detectors.
The pulse counter function is also available for counting the
switching on inputs congured as digital at short distance. On
the front panel there is a LED to display the status of each input.
Theinputs(forBI08F01KNXonlyinputs1,3,5,7)canbecon-
gured as analogue for the connection of NTC temperature pro-
bes(seeeelectronprobescodeTS01A01ACC/TS01B01ACC
/TS01D01ACC) withwhich tosend thetemperature measure-
ment on the bus or manage a complete thermostat module. The
thermostat manages 2 stages with an integrated PI controller for
controlling heating and cooling equipment, valves, 2 and 4-pipe
fan coils, etc.
Twoinputscanbeconguredas“smart sensor” for connection
of the plug-in sensors: SM03E01ACC that includes a di tempera-
ture sensor (range from -5°C to +50°C) and a CO2 sensor (range
from 10 ppm to 1000 ppm) and SM03E02ACC that includes a
temperature sensor (range from -5°C to +50°C) and a VOC sen-
sor for measuring Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and CO2 equivalent
(eCO2).
Moreover, 10 logic blocks are available to implement sim-
ple expressions with logical or threshold operator or complex
expressions with algebraic and conditional operators; It is possi-
bletousepredenedalgorithmsasproportionalcontrolsoftem-
perature and humidity or dew point calculation.
Device is equipped with KNX communication interface and is in-
tended for installation on DIN rail in LV distribution switchboards.
3. Installation instructions
The device can be used for permanent internal installations in
dry places.
WARNING
• When a clear separation between the low voltage (SELV)
and the dangerous voltage (230V) is NOT possible, the de-
vice must be installed maintaining a minimum guaranteed
distance of 4 mm between the dangerous voltage lines or
cables (230V not SELV) and the cables connected to the
EIB/KNXBUS(SELV).
• The device must be mounted and commissioned by an au-
thorized installer.
• The applicable safety and accident prevention regulations
must be observed.
• The device must not be opened. Any faulty devices should
be returned to manufacturer.
• For planning and construction of electric installations, the re-
levant guidelines, regulations and standards of the respecti-
ve country are to be considered.
• KNX bus allows you to remotely send commands to the
system actuators. Always make sure that the execution of
remote commands do not lead to hazardous situations, and
that the user always has a warning about which commands
can be activated remotely.

4. Conguration and commissioning
Thecongurationandcommissioningofthedeviceismadewith
theETS®(EngineeringToolSoftware).Forthecongurationof
the device parameters the corresponding application program or
the whole eelectron® product database must be loaded in the
ETS® program.
The commissioning of the device requires the following steps:
• connect the bus KNX (1)
• turn on the bus power supply
• press the programming button (2); the red programming
LED turns ON
• download into the device the physical address and the con-
gurationwiththeETS®program
5. General parameters
In ETS®, in the drop down menu of the device the general pa-
rameters consist of two conguration blocks, described in the
next paragraphs.
General settings
Communication objects involved:
“<General> Heartbeat” 1 Bit CRT
“<Global> Enable” 1 Bit CW
KNX PARAMETER SETTINGS
Delay on power-up 3 ÷ 15 seconds
Through this parameter it is possible to set the telegram transmission
delay after switch-on by selecting the time beyond which the device is
authorized to send telegrams.
In large systems, after a power outage or shutdown, this delay avoids
generatingexcessivetra󰀩conthebuswhichcauseslowperformance
or a transmission crash.
In case of several devices requiring telegrams to be sent on the bus
afterareset,thesedelaysmustbeprogrammedtopreventtra󰀩ccon-
gestion during the initialization phase.
Input detection and object values are updated at the end of the trans-
mission delay time
At the end of ETS programming, the device behaves as it did after it
was switched on.

od value) or following a query (upon request). The value of the 1-bit

this object it is possible to enable or disable all the inputs at the
same time with a single command, saving commands and bus
engagement.

Through this parameter it is possible to save energy by establishing
whether the status LEDs relating to the inputs must show their con-
dition constantly (for example if the input has received an activation
command, stay on) or if they should go o󰀨 after a certain time has
elapsed from the last activation.
Never switch OFF
The LED associated with each input remains lit as long as the active
input condition determined by the settings in the ETS page of each
input continues.

It can be congured as “smart sensor” for connection of the plug-in
sensors: SM03E01ACC that includes a di temperature sensor (range
from -5°C to +50°C) and a CO2 sensor (range from 10 ppm to 1000
ppm) and SM03E02ACC that includes a temperature sensor (range
from -5°C to +50°C) and a VOC sensor for measuring Indoor Air Qual-
ity (IAQ) and CO2 equivalent (eCO2).
6. Digital Input
Please refer to the “Digital Input” user manual.
7. Logics
Please refer to the “Logics” user manual.
Each logic block can be congured to perform one of the
following functions available in the drop-down menu on the
corresponding page:
• bit no transfer function;
• byte no transfer function;
• NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR;
• bit to byte conversion;
• byte to bit conversion;
• byte threshold;
• 2 bytes oat threshold;
• 4 bytes oat threshold;
• proportional fancoil;
• proportional / speed fancoil conversion;
• dew point humidistat;
• surveillance;
• constant illuminance;
• expression
In the devices described, the logical expression can
have a maximum of 16 characters.
8. CO2 and VOC sensor
Please refer to the “CO2/VOC” user manual.
9. Behaviour on bus failure, recovery and
download
Behaviour on bus voltage failure
On failure of bus voltage, no command is sent. Behaviour of con-
trolled actuators must be set using their own parameters.
Behaviour on bus voltage recovery
On bus voltage recovery all the communication objects are set
to0exceptforobjectsforwhichaparameterisdenedforthe
initial value.
Wrong application download
If the wrong ETS application is downloaded then KNX/EIB led
starts blinking and device is not operative on the bus. A power re-
set must be done or the correct ETS application must be downlo-
aded.
