Safety information
DANGER
All ekey home devices are to be operated with Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV). Only use power supplies rated protection class 2
according to VDE 0140-1.
Failure to do so will create a risk of fatal electrocution.
Only certified electricians are authorized to carry out the electrical
installation work!
Mount the ekey home converter KNX RS-485 in a secure internal area in
the distributor. This prevents tampering from the outside.

□ekey home converter KNX RS-485
□Operating instructions
□Wiring diagram
This product is a gateway. The product detects access information from
an ekey biometric access control system. It processes this information
and triggers events in KNX systems. This product is intended for
installation in the distributor in the home and in small businesses.
Function of the ekey home converter KNX RS-485
The ekey converter KNX RS-485 functions exclusively with the ekey home
and ekey multi biometric access control systems from ekey. The ETS5
software for planning and installing KNX systems is used to configure the
ekey home converter KNX RS-485. The ekey home converter KNX RS-485
can trigger 12 events in the KNX system.

Installation
ATTENTION
Mount and wire the product correctly before connecting power.
Possible property damage!
Do not connect the power supply beforehand!
Mount the system in accordance with the supplied mounting instructions.
Wire the system in accordance with the supplied wiring diagram.
NOTICE
The wiring diagram displays the wiring of the ekey home converter KNX
RS-485. Refer to the wiring diagram for the finger scanner for the wiring
of the ekey home finger scanner and the lock.
Commissioning
NOTICE
Extensive specialist knowledge is needed to configure a KNX system.
Commissioning should be carried out by a KNX specialist.
The ekey home converter KNX RS-485 is ready for operation once the
wiring configuration has been carried out and it has been connected to the
power supply.
The KNX LED lights up green. The RS-485 LED flashes green irregularly.
The ETS5 engineering tool software and the required hardware
components are used to configure the ekey home converter KNX RS-485.
The ekey home converter KNX RS-485 is a KNX-certified device and can
be found in the device database of the KNX organization using the ETS5.

8│en
Use
The ekey home converter KNX RS-485 can trigger 12 events in a KNX
system.
Event “ekey Event 1” - “ekey Event 10”
Events are triggered when an authorized finger is recognized on the ekey
finger scanner. Up to 10 events can be triggered. These events are
referred to as “ekey Event 1” to “ekey Event 10”. Every identified finger
can trigger an event.
You can set the following functions for “ekey Event 1” to “ekey Event 10”:

NOTICE
For storing fingers, please see the ekey home CP WM/IN operating
instructions.
When a finger is stored (see ekey home CP WM/IN operating instructions,
section “Storing fingers”), it is assigned a number in the range of F1-F10.
This assigned finger number defines which ekey event is triggered in the
KNX system:
□If a finger is stored as finger number F1, then the event “ekey
Event 1” is triggered in the KNX system.
□If a finger is stored as finger number F2, then the event “ekey
Event 2” is triggered in the KNX system.
□Etc.
The ekey events “Security” and “Unknown” do not need to be configured
in the ekey home control panel WM/IN. They are automatically triggered
when the conditions are met.
