Commissioning
For commissioning the device the following activities are
required:
• make the electrical connections as described above;
• turn on the bus power supply;
• switch the device operation to the programming mode
by pressing the programming pushbutton (5) loca-
ted on the front side of the housing. In this operating
mode, the programming LED is turned on;
• download into the device the physical address and the
conguration 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 o󰀨. Now the bus device is
programmed and ready for use.
Device reset
To reset the device, remove the power from the KNX bus;
then press the programming button and, keeping it pres-
sed, restore power to the KNX bus: if, after approximately
10 s, the programming LED ashes quickly, it means that
the reset has been carried out. At this point it is necessary
to re-address and congure the device via ETS.
Warning! The input N terminals must never be con-
nected to the COM outputs.
!
Warning! In conguration 2, the internal fuse on
the load, which implements overcurrent protection,
does not trip.
The electronic short circuit protection remains fun-
ctional.
!
Warning! The reset operation brings back the devi-
ce to its factory delivery state. The addressing and
value of the parameters set during conguration are
lost.
