3Description
Remo KNX RF remote control • Version: 14.02.2018 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
1. Description
The colour touchscreen of Remo KNX RF remote control can be used to manually to
control bus participants in the KNX system. Remo KNX RF uses the KNX RF S standard.
The possible functions are
•Switching
•Dimming
• Moving the drives of awnings, shutters, blinds or windows
• Changing the temperature (for heating/cooling)
• Calling and saving scenes.
The channels are set in the ETS. However, they can always be individually sorted and
named on the display.
Functions:
• Operation via the touch display
• Lithium battery, chargeable via a USB-2.0 Micro-B charger (Charger No 10155 as an
optional accessory)
• 32 channels, wireless standard KNX RF, S-Mode
• The touch buttons can be named individually, directly on the device or in the ETS
• The display sequence can be changed directly on the device
Configuration is made using the KNX software ETS 5. The product file can be downloaded
from the ETS online catalogue and the Elsner Elektronik website on www.elsner-elektro-
nik.de in the “Service” menu.
If communication with wired KNX devices (KNX TP) is necessary, a media coupler that con-
nects KNX RF and KNX TP is needed (e.g. KNX RF LC-TP No 70710).
ATTENTION!
Radio transmission takes place on a non-exclusive transmission
path!
The device is not suitable for applications in the field of safety engineering,
e.g. emergency stop, emergency call.
Moisture is harmful to the electronic components of the remote
control. You must therefore:
• Not leave it in the rain
• Not leave it outside overnight
• Protect it from frost
1.0.1. Deliverables
• Wireless remote control with integrated battery
• USB cable 0.5 m (USB-A plug to USB-B micro plug)

1.1. Technical specifications
The product is compliant with the provisions of EC guidelines.
1.2. Notes on wireless equipment
When planning facilities with devices that communicate via radio, adequate radio reception
must be guaranteed. The range will be limited by legal regulation and structural circum-
stances. Avoid sources of interference and obstacles between receiver and transmitter, that
could disturb the wireless communication. Those would be for example:
• Walls and ceilings (especially concrete and solar protection glazing).
• Metal surfaces next to the wireless participants (e. g. aluminium construction of a
conservatory).
• Other wireless devices and powerful local transmitters (e.g. wireless headphones),
which transmit on the same frequency (868,2 MHz). Please maintain a minimum
distance of 30 cm between wireless transmitters for that reason.

can be set. Standard, Standard inverted and Comfort.
Standard:
Short tap to move the drive step-wise and to stop it. Hold it longer to move the drive to the
end position. The time difference between ‘short’ and ‘long’ can be adjusted.
Standard inverted:
Short tap to move the drive to the end position. Hold it longer to move the drive step-wise
and to stop it. The time difference between ‘short’ and ‘long’, as well as the repeat interval
can be customised.
Comfort mode:
In comfort mode, short tapping, holding the button slightly longer and holding it for a long
time trigger different reactions from the drive. The time intervals are configured individual-
ly.
Short tap (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 po-
sition. The movement can be interrupted by a short tap.
