Description
The ekinex® pushbutton of 71 Series is a KNX S-mode
device for on/o󰀨 switching of loads, dimming of lighting
devices, controlling of motor drives or other programma-
ble switching and control functions. The integrated tem-
perature sensor (for EK-E12-TP-... versions only) allows
the use as a room or zone temperature controller. It is
equipped with an integrated KNX bus communication
module and is designed for wall installation on ush-
mounting box. Each channel can be freely congured to
carry out 1 or 2 bus functions and is provided with pro-
grammable LED (blue/green or red/white) e.g. as a staus
feedback or orientation nightlight (for EK-E12-TP-... ver-
sions only). Pressing a rocker, the device sends on the
bus a telegram, which is received and executed by one
or more KNX actuators depending on the conguration
carried out. The device is powered by the KNX bus line
with a SELV voltage 30 Vdc and does not require auxiliary
power.

Delivery
The delivery of the pushbutton includes a metallic support
for round ush-mounting box, the xing screws (2 pairs)
and the KNX terminal block for connection of the bus line.
Completion of the pushbutton
The pushbutton is completed through a separate order of:
• a set of rockers that allows the use as a 1-fold, 2-fold
or 4-fold pushbutton;
• a 1-fold plate (square, EK-PQS-...) or a 2-fold plate
(rectangular, EK-P2G-... or EK-P2S-...) in combination
with another bus device of 71 Series or a 55 x 55 mm
ush-mounting insert;
• a square frame of the ekinex® Form or Flank Series (not
for the ‘NF - No Frame versions).
Rockers
Three-positions rockers with central neutral position have
to be mounted on the pushbutton. Pushing one side of
a rocker (for example the upper one), the pushbutton
sends on the bus a telegram for switching on, increasing
the brightness of luminaires or raising the blinds, while
pushing the other side (for example the lower one), it
sends a telegram for switching o󰀨, reducing the bright-
ness of luminaires or lowering the blinds. Each channel
is equipped with LEDs (for EK-E12-TP-... versions only)
which can be freely programmed as status feedbacks of
the loads and as orientation nightlight. Frame
The pushbutton can be completed by a square 1-fold fra-
me or by a rectangular 2-fold frame of the Flank or Form
Series. The ‘NF (No Frame) versions of the pushbutton
do not require any frame.
Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP20, and is there-
fore suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The installation
of the device di󰀨ers depending on the mounting with or
without frame (‘NF Series).
Mounting with frame, version for round box

Mounting position
If the integrated sensor is used for temperature regulation
(for EK-E12-TP-... versions only), the device has to be
installed preferably lon an internal wall at the height of
1,5 m and at least 0,3 m far from doors. The device can
not be installed close to heat sources such as radiators
or houshold appliances or in position subjected to direct
sunlight. If necessary, for the regulation can be used a
weighted average value between the value measured
by the integrated sensor and a value received via bus by
another KNX device.
Note. Programming pushbutton and LED are ac-
cessible from the front side of the device. It is better
addressing the device before the nal assembly of
rockers and frame. Once the addressing has been
performed, the device conguration can be later
downloaded without pressing the programming pu-
shbutton.

Connection of the KNX bus line
The connection of the KNX bus line is made with the ter-
minal block (black/red) included in delivery and inserted
into the slot of the housing.
Characteristics of the KNX terminal block
• spring clamping of conductors
• 4 seats for conductors for each polarity
• terminal suitable for KNX bus cable with single-wire
conductors and diameter between 0.6 and 0.8 mm
• recommended wire stripping approx. 5 mm
• color codication: red = + (positive) bus conductor,

Use as a room temperature controller (only for
EK-E12-TP-... versions only)
The pushbutton can be also used as a room temperature
controller for single-stage heating/cooling systems with
radiators, radiant panels and electrical heaters. As the
device has no user interface, it must receive the operatio-
nal parameters by the bus (e.g. operating mode, seasonal
conduction mode or a change of the setpoint value).
Main functional characteristics (room temperature con-
troller)
• Temperature measuring through integrated sensor with
possibility of sending the value on the bus
• 2-point (on/o󰀨) or proportional (PWM or continuous)
room temperature regulation
• Seasonal conduction modes: heating and cooling with
possibility of changeover via bus or automatic depen-
ding on the conguration
• Operating modes: comfort, standby, economy and bu-
ilding protection with di󰀨erent setpoint for heating and
cooling
• Automatic switching of the operating modes triggered
by window opening/closing
• Weighted average of two temperature values
• Temperature control alarm
• Anti-locking function for valves (hydronic systems)
Switching, display and connection elements
The device is equipped with four mechanisms for
switching, four LEDs for each channel (for EK-E12-TP-...
versions only), a programming LED and a programming
pushbutton and a terminal block for connection of the bus
line.
Switching elements
• Pushbutton (8) for switching between the normal and
programming operating modes
• One, two or four rockers (4) for independent switching
of single or group of loads
Display elements
• Red LED (7) for indication of the active operating mode
(on = programming, o󰀨 = normal operation)
• Freely programmable LED with lightguide (5) e.g. for
feedback status and orientation nightlight LED (for EK-
E12-TP-... versions only)
