2. Description
The Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 measures the room
temperature and displays the current value in white illuminated figures. Via the bus the
device can receive an external measured value and process it with own data to overall
temperature value (mixed value).
The KNX eTR 101-BA2 has got an integrated PI controller for a heating and a cooling
system (one or two step). The room temperature is adjusted by means of the + and -
touch buttons.
Either binary contacts such as push-buttons or window contacts or analogue
temperature sensors T-NTC can be connected to 2 inputs.

4 Commissioning
Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Functions:
• Measurement of temperature. Mixed value from own measured value and
external values (proportions can be set in percentage), output of minimum and
maximum values
•Display of the actual value or the target value/basic setpoint shift
•2 touch buttons (+/-) for adjustment of the room temperature
•PI controller for heating (one or two step) and cooling (one or two step)
depending on temperature. Control according to separate target values or
basic target temperature
•2 inputs for binary contacts or T-NTC temperature sensor
3. Commissioning
Configuration is made using the KNX software as of ETS 5. The product file can be
downloaded from the ETS online catalogue and the Elsner Elektronik website on
www.elsner-elektronik.de in the “Service” menu. There you will also find the
product manual.
After the bus voltage has been applied, the device will enter an initialisation phase
lasting approx. 5 seconds. During this phase no information can be received or sent via
the bus.
4. Addressing the device
The equipment is delivered with the individual address 15.15.255. This can be changed
via the ETS.
The programming button is located at the bottom outer side of the front panel of the
device and is recessed. Use a thin object to reach the button, e. g. a 1.5 mm² wire.
5. Display and operation at the device
5.1. Adjust room temperature
Depending on the setting of the "Display mode" parameter in the device application,
the Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 displays the current room
temperature value (or mixed value), the target value or the shift in relation to the basic
setpoint. The display can be dimmed and switched off via the bus so that no value is
displayed.

5 Display and operation at the device
Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Option A: Display of actual temperature (room temperature)
The current room temperature is displayed. It is not possible to change the room
temperature manually using the +/- buttons.
Option B: Display of target temperature or basic setpoint shift
Depending on the setting, the current target value or the shift relative to the base
setpoint is displayed. The temperature can be changed by touching the +/- buttons.
Target value display (absolute value):
Display of the basic setpoint shift (change compared to the basic setpoint of the
control):

Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Option C: Display of actual temperature and target temperature/basic
setpoint shift
During normal operation, the current room temperature is displayed. By touching the
buttons, the display jumps to the target temperature or to the basic setpoint shift,
depending on the presetting. Changes with + or - are visible. The display returns to the
room temperature if no button is touched for 7 seconds.
Touch the + or - button briefly: The current target temperature (or the basic setpoint
shift) is displayed.
Tap +: Increase room temperature
(target temperature/basic setpoint shift is increased).
Tap -: Lower room temperature
(target temperature/basic setpoint shift is lowered).
General:
The step size for the change and the possible setting range are defined in the device
application (ETS). There you can also define whether the manually changed values are
retained after a mode change (e.g. Eco mode overnight) or reset to the stored values.
The button functions can be locked due to operating mode with priority 1.

11 Setting the parameters
Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Behaviour on bus restoration of power and following programming or reset:
The device sends all outputs according to their send behaviour set in the parameters
with the delays established in the "General settings" parameter block.
7.2. General settings
Set basic characteristics for the data transfer.
Set the initial value for LED brightness. Determine if the LED display should be con-
trolled via objects. This activates input objects 5 and 6 for LED brightness. And set
whether the LEDs switch off automatically after pressing a push button.
7.3. Temperature measured value
Determine is a malfunction object should be used. This activates output object 7 for
error messages.
Use Offsets to adjust the readings to be sent.
The unit can calculate a mixed value from its own reading and an external value. Set
the mixed value calculation if desired.
If an external portion is used, all of the following settings are related to the overall read-
ing. The display of KNX eTR 101-BA2 also shows the total measured value.

12 Setting the parameters
Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
The minimum and maximum readings can be saved and sent to the bus. Use the
‘Reset temperature min/max. value’ object to reset the values to the current readings.
The values are not retained after a reset.
7.4. Temperature PI controller
Activate the control if you would like to use it.
General rules
Decide in which cases nominal values and delay times received per object are to be
kept. The parameter is only taken into consideration if the setting by object is activated
further down. Please note that the setting "After power restoration and programming"
should not be used for the initial start-up, as the factory settings are always used until
the first call (setting via objects is ignored).
Comfort, standby, eco and building protection modes may be used as necessary to
control room temperature.
Comfort when present,
Standby when absent,
Eco as a night-time mode and
Frost / heat protection (building protection) e.g. when the window is open.
The settings for the temperature control include the set point temperatures for the in-
dividual modes. Objects are used to determine which mode is to be selected. A change
of modes may be triggered manually or automatically (e.g. through a timer, window
contact).

13 Setting the parameters
Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
The mode may be switched with two 8 bit objects of different priority. Objects
'... HVAC mode (Prio 2)’ for switching in everyday operation and
'... HVAC mode (Prio 1)’ for central switching with higher priority.
The objects are coded as follows:
0 = Auto (only on Prio 1)
1 = Comfort
2 = Standby
3 = Eco
4 = Building protection
Alternatively, you can use three objects, with one object switching between eco and
standby mode and the two others are used to activate comfort mode or frost/heat pro-
tection mode. The comfort object then blocks the eco/standby object, and frost/heat
protection objects have the highest priority. Objects
'... Mode (1: Eco, 0: Standby)’,
'... comfort mode activation: and
'... frost/heat protection mode activation’
Select the mode to be activated after reset (e.g. power failure, reset of the line via
the bus). (Default).
Then configure a temperature control block using the blocking object.
Specify when the current control variables are to be sent to the bus. Periodic trans-
mission is safer if a message does not reach the recipient. You may also set up period-
ical monitoring by the actuator with this setting.

Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
The status object reports the current status of the output (0% = OFF, >0% = ON) and
may for example be used for visualisation, or to switch off the heating pump as soon
as the heating is switched off.
Then define the type of control. Heating and/or cooling may be controlled in two stag-
es.
General set point values
You may enter separate set point values for each mode or use the comfort set point as
a basic value.
If you are using the controls for both heating and cooling, you may also select the set-
ting "separately with switching object". Systems used for cooling in the summer and
for heating in the winter can thus be switched from one to the other.
If you are using the basic value, only the deviation from the comfort set point value is
listed for the other modes (e. g., 2°C less for standby mode).
Determine, which value must be shown on the display.
Actual value only means that the currently measured temperature value (or the mixed
value defined) is displayed. A set point change using buttons is then not possible.
Set point/base shift only means that the currently valid set point (e.g. 21.5 °C) or the
base set point shift (e.g. +2 °C) is displayed, depending on the set point settings. Use
the buttons to change the set point or the base set point shift.

Room Temperature Controller KNX eTR 101-BA2 • Version: 20.04.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Actual value and set point/base shift displays the actual value in normal functioning
conditions. If the + or - buttons are touched, the set point or the base set point shift are
displayed. The set point/base shift view closes after 7 seconds of inactivity, after which
the display switches back to the actual value.
If a switching object is used, define the behaviour and the value after reset.
The grades for the set point changes are predefined.
The control can be switched to comfort mode from eco mode, also night-time opera-
tion, via the comfort extension. This allows the user to maintain the nominal comfort
set point for a longer time, e.g. when having guests. The duration of this comfort ex-
tension period is set here. After the comfort extension period is terminated, the system
returns to eco mode.
Set point for comfort
Comfort mode is usually used for day-time operation when people are present. A start-
ing value is defined for the comfort set point as well as a temperature range in which

Set point values for frost/heat protection (building protection)
The building protection mode is used, for example, when windows are opened for ven-
tilation. Set points for frost protection (heating) and heat protection (cooling) are de-
termined which may not be modified from outside (no access via operating devices
etc.). The building protection mode may be activated with delay, which allows you to
leave the building before the controls switch to frost/heat protection mode.
General actuating variables
This setting only appears for the ‘heating and cooling’ control types. This is where you
can decide whether to use a shared variable for heating and cooling. If the 2nd stage
has a common variable, this is also where you determine the control mode of the 2nd
stage.
When using the actuating variable for a 4/6-way valve the following applies:
0%...100% heating = 66%...100% actuating variable
OFF = 50% actuating variable
0%...100% cooling = 33%...0% actuating variable

7.4.1. Heating control stage 1/2
If a heating control mode is configured, one or two setting sections for the heating
stages are displayed.
In the first stage, heating is controlled by a PI controller which allows to either enter
control parameters or select predetermined applications. For explanations of the pa-
rameters, see sections PI control with controller parameters and the application spec-
ified.
In the second stage (thus only in the case of 2-stage heating), heating is controlled via
a PI or a 2-point-control. For explanations of the parameters, see the corresponding
sections.
On stage 2, the set point deviation between the two stages must also be specified, i.e.
beyond which set point undershoot the second stage is added.
PI control with controller parameters
This setting allows individual input of the parameters for PI control.
Specify the deviation from the set point value at which the maximum control variable
value is reached, i.e. the point at which maximum heating power is activated.
Reset time shows how quickly the controller responds to deviations from the set point.
In the case of a short reset time, the control responds with a fast increase of the control
variable. In the case of a long reset time, the control responds slower and needs longer
until the necessary control variable for the set point deviation is reached.
You should set the time appropriate for the heating system at this point (observe the
manufacturer's instructions).
