KNX standard “virtual” button, based on a borderless IPS
touch display, in which each button can be customized
via a dedicated app. It is possible to change some attribu-
tes of each key even after installation, such as position,
symbols and texts.
Description
The EK-EV2-TP pushbutton with touch display of the eki-
nex® SIGNUM series is a KNX device for the on / o󰀨 con-
trol of utilities, the dimming of lighting devices, the control
of motorized drives or other programmable command
and control functions. The integrated temperature sensor
also allows it to be used as a temperature controller for
an environment or area. The device is intended for KNX
standard home and building automation systems, and it is
equipped with a KNX bus communication module and is
designed for wall installation on a round or square ush
mounting box, equipped with xing holes with 60 mm cen-
ter distance. The button must be completed with a plate
from the Deep or Surface series. The 2.65“, 162 x 320
pixel 262K color borderless IPS touch display with haptic
feedback can be congured to manage up to 4 buttons
per page and up to 3 total pages. Each button can be
customized via the dedicated Ekinex Tool app via BLE
(Bluetooth Low Energy) and it is possible to change some
attributes of each button even after installation, such as
symbols and text. The proximity sensor integrated into the
plate (to be ordered separately) allows the activation of
the backlight and other functions, guarantees maximum
readability when using the pushbutton and allows visual
comfort during the night. The device is powered at SELV
30 Vdc voltage by means of the KNX bus and does not
require auxiliary power supply.
