Push Button with Temperature Sensor
Technical specifications and installation instructions
1. Description
The Cala KNX M-T push button has touch-sensitive buttons, with which functions
in the KNX building bus system can be called, such as switch lights and devices,
dim, activate drives, send values, scenarios. A white LED is integrated into each
touch button, the behaviour of which can be adjusted.
A temperature sensor is integrated into Cala KNX M-T. An external temperature
reading can be received via the bus and processed with its own data to create a total
temperature (mixed value).
Communication objects can be connected by AND and OR logic gates.
The device is supplemented with a frame of the switch series used in the building,
and thus fits seamlessly into the interior fittings.
Cala KNX M1-T functions:
•1Touch bus button, can be configured as switch, selector switch, dimmer,
blind (position and slats up/stop OR down/stop), shutters (up/down/stop),
awning (in/out/stop), window (closed/open/stop), as 8 or 16-bit encoder or for
scenario recall/storage
Cala KNX M2-T functions:
•2 Touch bus button, can be configured as switch, selector switch, dimmer,
for operating drives, as 8 or 16-bit encoder or for scenario recall/storage
•Area function when touching both push buttons. Can be configured as
switch, selector switch, as 8 or 16 bit encoder or for scenario recall
Cala KNX M4-T functions:
•4 Touch bus button, can be configured as switch, selector switch, dimmer,
for operating drives, as 8 or 16-bit encoder or for scenario recall/storage
•Area function when touching two or more push buttons. Can be configured
as switch, selector switch, as 8 or 16 bit encoder or for scenario recall
Function of all models:
•OneLED per touch area. On for object value = 1 / Off for object value = 0, On
after pressing button for settable time or always off. Settable, as to whether
LED flashes at block object value = 1
•Temperature measurements. Mixed value from own measured value and
external values (proportion can be set by percentage)
•2 AND and 2 OR logic gates each with 4 inputs. All switching events as
well as 8 logic inputs (in the form of communications objects) can be used as
inputs for the logic gates. The output from each gate can be configured
optionally as 1-bit or 2 x 8-bit
Configuration is made using the KNX software ETS 5. The product file can be dow-
nloaded from the ETS online catalogue and the Elsner Elektronik website on
www.elsner-elektronik.de in the “Service” menu.
1.0.1. Area function
If the area function in ETS has been activated, another function is available alongsi-
de the regular key functions. This is triggered by touching multiple keys, e.g. if you
touch the sensor with the palm of your hand.
Using the area function
If a key is pressed and another (different) key is touched within 0.2 seconds, the ac-
tion set in the ETS is performed for the area operation (See Fig. 1 a) and b)). The keys
are then blocked for 0.5 seconds.
Using the normal key function
If a key is pressed and no other key is touched within 0.2 seconds, the normal key
function is enabled/provided for 5 seconds (See Fig. 1 c) and d)). This is extended
for 5 seconds with each push of the button.
If the area function in the ETS is disabled, the keys can be used normally at any time.
1.1. Scope of delivery
• Push button in casing
• Base plate
Additionally required (not included in the deliverables):
• Junction box Ø 60 mm, 42 mm deep
• Frame (for insert 55 x 55 mm), compatible to the switch scheme used in the
building
1.2. Technical data
The product is compliant with the provisions of EU Directives.
1.2.1. Accuracy of the measurement
Measurement variations from permanent sources of interference (see chapter Ins-
tallation position) can be corrected in the ETS in order to ensure the specified accu-
racy of the sensor (offset).
When measuring temperature, the self-heating of the device is considered by the
electronics. The heating is compensated by the software.
2. Installation and commissioning
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.
