CasaConnect KNX Control Center • Version: 13.09.2021 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
1.1. Area of use
The CasaConnect KNX Control Center is a control unit for the KNX building bus
system. The graphical touchscreen and the integrated automatic functions allow easy
central setting and operation of the technical equipment installed in the building. The
basic configuration is made using ETS.
Please use these operating instructions in order to match the automatic functions to
your needs and to facilitate comfortable manual operation.
Functions and properties of the CasaConnect KNX control center:
•KNX controls with access to the participants in the KNX building system
•Colour touch-display 10.1 inches for manual operation, for system set-up
and for setting the basic and automatic functions.
•Network connection via LAN or WLAN
•Browser for displaying websites, streaming, etc.
•Remote access required via network for system set-up, diagnostics and
activation by the user
• Slide show from SD card as screen saver
• Data storage on SD card (backup of the settings)
• Integrated loudspeaker (4 tweeters, 1 broadband loudspeaker)
•24 Scenes for calling up individually set actuation positions and switching
conditions. With a scene, multiple motors and devices are addressed
simultaneously so that a suitable atmosphere is created with the touch of a
finger ("TV", "Eating", etc.).
•80 channels type A for motors (blinds, shutters, awnings, windows), fans
and lights (switching, dimming, RGB(W), colour temperature). Each with
extensive automatic functions
•120 channels type B for control and display elements (dimmers, buttons),
sensors, alarms, and the transmission of floating point values and text
messages
•15 channels type C, which are used as temperature regulator extensions, i.e.
a heating of cooling system is controlled with this according to the KNX
requirements for HVAC applications
•3 alarm objects and 4 central objects with function allocation on the
display
• Individually settable presence simulation
•Safety module for messages from an alarm system with memory for event
log
•IntegratedHCL(Human Centric Lighting) controls: The biodynamic light
controls change light colour and brightness over the course of the day
Scope of delivery
• Central control and operating unit
• SD card in card slot

Information about the control center
So that the CasaConnect KNX Control Center can be used to its full, envisaged ex-
tent, the following information must be available in the LNX system:
Presence / motion detectors, window contacts, smoke alarms and water leak alarms
can also be integrated into the safety module.
If the CasaConnect KNX Control Center is used exclusively to a strongly restricted
extent, without controlling motors (blinds, awnings, shutters, windows), this is also
possible without the information above, e.g. purely time-dependent light controls is
possible.
Information in the KNX system required
Wind speed for wind alarm
Precipitation for rain and frost alarm
Outdoor temperature for frost alarm
Date and time for time controls
Outside brightness for sun protection
Location Optional for sun protection (manual input possible on
the device)
Wind direction Optional for facade control if there is a wind alarm
Indoor room temperature Optional for air-conditioning/air quality
Indoor room humidity Optional for air-conditioning/air quality
VOC of the indoor air Optional for air-conditioning/air quality
CO2of the indoor air Optional for air-conditioning/air quality
VOC of the outdoor air Optional for air-conditioning/air quality

tions
Air pressure of the outside air Value can be displayed but not used for automatic func-
tions
Colour temperature Value can be displayed but not used for automatic func-
tions
