Completion of the pushbutton
KNX device for switching and control single loads or
groups of loads. It has to be used in KNX installations for
control of homes and buildings.
Description
The ekinex® 6-fold pushbutton (max 12 functions) is a S-
mode KNX device for on/o󰀨 switching of loads, dimming
of lighting devices, controlling of motor drives or other pro-
grammable switching and control functions. 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 programmed for 1 or 2 bus
functions and is provided with two LEDs congurable for
example as a status signal or orientation nightlight. The
pushbutton has to be completed with six rockers and a
frame that must be ordered separately. Pushing a rocker,
the device sends on the bus a telegram, which is received
and executed by one or more KNX actuators. The device
is powered by the KNX bus line with a SELV voltage 30
Vdc and does not require auxiliary power.
Versions
The pushbutton is available with two combinations of co-
lours for the LEDs (blue/green and red/white).
Datasheet STEKEH2TP_EN
Main functional characteristics
• On/o󰀨 switching of single loads or groups of loads
• Dimming of lighting devices
• Control of motor drives (for roller shutters, blinds, cur-
tains, etc.)
• Recalling and saving of scenes
For installation and operation an ekinex®pushbutton must
be completed with a separate order of:
• operation elements consisting of six square rockers;
• one rectangular frame of the ekinex® form or ank se-
ries.
Rockers and frames are available in plastic or metal ver-
sions. The metallic support, the xing screws (two pairs)
and the KNX terminal block for connection of the bus line
are supplied with the device.
Note. Rockers and frame for the completion of the
device must be ordered separately. For more infor-
mation on materials, colors and nishes available,

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 sen-
ds a telegram for switching o󰀨, reducing the brightness of
luminaires or lowering the blinds. Each channel is equip-
ped with LEDs which can be freely programmed as status
feedbacks of the loads and as orientation nightlight.
Switching, display and connection elements
The device is equipped with mechanisms for switching, 2
LEDs for each channel, a programming LED and a pro-
gramming pushbutton and a terminal block for connection
of the bus line.
Switching elements
• Pushbutton (3) for switching between the normal and
programming operating mode
• Mechanisms (4) for independent switching of single or
group of loads (to be completed with square rockers)
Customization of rockers
The rockers can be customized with symbols and texts,
for more information see the standard library on the eki-
nex® catalog or the website www.ekinex.com. On request
it is also possible a customization with symbols and texts
chosen by the customer.
Frame
The device is completed with a rectangular frame of the
form (EK-FOR-...) or ank (EK-FLR-...) series.

Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP20, and is therefo-
re suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The installation of
the device requires the following steps:
a) x the metallic support (5) with the screws supplied
(6) on the wall box (7) provided with suitable xing holes;
b) snap a rectangular frame (4) of the form or ank series,
inserting it from the rear of the device (3);
c) enter the bus terminal, previously connected to the bus
cable in its slot on the rear side (see also: “Connection
of the KNX bus line”). At this point it is recommended to
carry out the commissioning of the device (see also “Con-
guration and commissioning”) or at least the download of
the physical address;
d) mounting the device (3) on the metallic support sup-
plied (5) with the screws (2). The correct mounting of the
device occurs when the bus terminal is located in the lo-
wer part; for mounting the device follow also the indication
TOP (arrow tip pointing up) on the rear side of the device.
e) snap the six rockers (1) on the device.
The 6-fold pushbutton can be mounted on a round or a
square (60 mm hole centres) or a rectangular (83,5 mm
hole centres) ush-mounting box. If necessary, the me-
tallic support for mounting on the wall box can also be
ordered separately using the code EK-SMR.

Note. The screws supplied in the package are su-
itable for standard installations. For more specic
applications, where the screws have to be replaced,
only at-head screws must be used.

Mounting of rockers
For the mounting of the rockers on the dedicated seats,
the xing elements must be aligned vertically.
Note. The screws for the metal support must be
tightened with a max. torque of 1.0 Nm.

Display elements
• Red LED (2) for indication of the active operating mode
(on = programming, o󰀨 = normal operation)
• Freely programmable LEDs with lightguide e.g. for
feedback status and orientation nightlight
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,
black = – (negative) bus conductor
Conguration
For the conguration of the device parameters the corre-
sponding application program or the whole ekinex®pro-
duct database must be loaded in the ETS program. For
detailed information on conguration options, refer to the
application manual of the device available on the website
www.ekinex.com.
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 located on
the rear side of the housing. In this mode of operation,
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.
Dimensions [mm]
Conguration and commissioning
Conguration and commissioning of the device require
the use of the ETS®(Engineering Tool Software) program
V4 or later releases. These activities must be carried out
according to the design of the building automation system
done by a qualied planner.
Note. Programming pushbutton and LED are only
accessible from the front side of the device. It is bet-
ter addressing the device before the nal assem-
bly of rockers and frame. Once the addressing has
been performed, the device conguration can be la-
ter downloaded without pressing the programming
pushbutton.

Warning! In order to supply the KNX bus lines use
only KNX bus power supplies (e.g. ekinex EK-AB1-
TP or EK-AG1-TP). The use of other power supplies
can compromise the communication and damage
the devices connected to the bus.
!
Warning! The electrical connection of the device
can be carried out only by qualied personnel. The
incorrect installation may result in electric shock or
re. Before making the electrical connections, make
sure the power supply has been turned o.
