2. Installation and start-up
2.1. Installation notes
Installation, testing, operational start-up and troubleshooting should
only be performed by an electrician.
CAUTION!
Live voltage!
There are unprotected live components inside the device.
• National legal regulations are to be followed.
• Ensure that all lines to be assembled are free of voltage and take
precautions against accidental switching on.
• Do not use the device if it is damaged.
• Take the device or system out of service and secure it against
unintentional use, if it can be assumed, that risk-free operation is no
longer guaranteed.
The device is only to be used for its intended purpose. Any improper modification or
failure to follow the operating instructions voids any and all warranty and guarantee
claims.
After unpacking the device, check it immediately for possible mechanical damage. If it
has been damaged in transport, inform the supplier immediately.
The device may only be used as a fixed-site installation; that means only when assem-
bled and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks and only in
the surroundings designated for it.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may occur
after publication of these operating instructions.
2.2. Installation
2.2.1. Installation location
Install and operate in dry interior rooms only!

2.2.2. Connection/ layout of the circuit board
CAUTION!
Unprotected live components!
The voltage connected to the switching outputs must conform with the
SELV spezifications (safety extra-low voltage)!
Connect the bus cable (red/black clamp).
Use the 8-wire connection line to connect the outputs and the 4-wire line to connect the
binary inputs. The lines may be extended to up to 5 m.

6 Addressing of the device at the bus
Door operator control module KNX A3-B2 • Version: 17.12.2019 • Technical changes and errors reserved.
2.3. Notes on mounting and commissioning
Device must not be exposed to water (rain). This could result in the electronics being
damaged. A relative air humidity of 95% must not be exceeded. Avoid condensation.
After the bus voltage has been applied, the device will enter an initialisation phase last-
ing a few seconds. During this phase no information can be received or sent via the
bus.
3. Addressing of the device at the bus
The device is supplied with the bus address 15.15.250. You can program another ad-
dress into the ETS by overwriting the 15.15.250 address or by teaching via the pro-
gramming button.

5.2. Door operator
You define the operating mode for the outputs in the Door operation menu.
If only one door is connected to the three outputs (two- or three-button operation,
output 1 = open, output 2 = close, if needed output 3 = stop), select Defined Open/
Close/Stop mode or Impulse mode.
If a door is connected to each output (single-button operation), select Impulse mode or
dead-man mode.
Defined Open/Closed: (1 door)
The outputs 1 and 2 react to the object (are assigned to the object) Output 1+2 -
Impulse. If the object value is 1, then output 1 receives an impulse (closes for 1s). If the
object value is 0, then output 2 receives an impulse (closes for 1 s).
Output 3 is asigned to the object Output 3 - Impulse. The output reacts as soon as an
object has been received (no matter which value).
Select whether output 3 is a normally closed or normally open contact (duration of
opening/closing 1 second).

impulse (closes for 1 s) when the object value is 1.
Output 2 reacts to the (is assigned to the object) Output 2 - Impulse and receives an
impulse (closes for 1 s) when the object value is 1.
Output 3 reacts to the (is assigned to the object) Output 3 - Impulse and receives an
impulse (closes for 1 s) when the object value is 1.
No further settings can be made for the outputs.
Dead-man mode: (2 doors)
Output 1 react to the object (is assigned to the object) Output 1 - Impulse. At value = 1,
the output closes; at value 0, it opens.

Control modes for drive control
Standard:
If briefly operated, the drive will move incrementally or stops. If operated longer, the
drive will move up to the end position. The time difference between "short" and "long"
is set individually.
Standard inverted:
When pushed shortly, the drive moves up to the end position. When pushed for longer,
the drive moves incrementally or stops. The time difference between "short" and
"long" and the repeat interval is set individually.
Comfort mode:
In the comfort mode actuating the button briefly, a bit longer and long will trigger
different responses of the drive. The time intervals are set individually.
Short actuation (shorter than Time 1): The drive is positioned step-wise and stopped.
Holding it slightly longer (longer than Time 1, but shorter than Time 1+2): Drive
running. Drive stops when the button is released.
Long holding (release after Time 1+2 runs out): Drive moves independently to the end
position. The movement can be interrupted by a short tap.
