Chapter 1 General
The Universal Interfaces can install to be system with KNX bus and other device, which are mainly
use in building control system. The functions are both simple to operate and intuitive, users can program
it according to the requirement to implement the function systematically.
This manual provides technical information about the Universal Interfaces in detail for users as well
as assembly and programming, and explains how to use the Universal Interfaces by the application
examples.
1.1. Product and functional overview
The Universal Interfaces achieve the functional applications via conventional push buttons/switches,
communicate by technical binary, which are used to control the devices such as the Dimmer Actuator/the
Switch Actuator, to control domestic appliance indirectly. At the same time, they also enable the control
of LEDs. The extremely compact design enables the device to be inserted in a conventional 80mm or
86mm wiring box.
The Universal Interfaces connect to the bus though the KNX connection terminals and have no use
for additional supply voltage. It is available to assign the physical address and set the parameters by
Engineering design tools ETS with VD4 (higher than edition ETS3).
The Universal Interfaces have many functions that can be used in a wide variety of application
areas. The following list provides an overview:
Switching and dimming function.
Control of blinds and shutters.
Sending of values e.g. temperature values、water line.
Recalling and storing of scenes.
Trigger an LED for reporting an operation.
Operation of various loads by multiple push button actions.
Operation of several loads in a fixed switching sequence.
Standard counting and differential counting.
Each channel of a device can adopt any of the functions described above.

The following functions can be set separately for each input:
Switch sensor: For switching the lighting or scanning a floating contact; Distinction between
short/long operation and cyclical sending of the contact state are possible.
Switch/dimming sensor: For switching/dimming the lighting; There are start/stop dimming and
stepwise dimming, as well as dimming via a single push button are possible.
Value/Forced operation: For sending the valued of different data types(e.g. temperature values). It
is possible to send different values or data types for short/long operation, possible to activate/deactivate
the forced operation of actuators.
Control scene: For recalling and storing the states of several actuator groups. The actuator groups
can either be controlled via max. 5 individual objects or via an 8 bit scene object.
Switching sequence: For the operation of several actuator groups in a preselected sequence, e.g. the
latching relay.
Counter: For counting input pulses. Various data types of the counter can be set. It is able to set the
counting rate, whether to sending the current counting values cyclically and the differential counter when
enables an additional counter. The differential counter can be reset and run out in report, thereby, it is
convenient to count the daily consumption.
Push button with multiple operations: For triggering various functions depending on the
frequency of the operation. A long operation can also be detected and a function can be triggered.
Shutter sensor: For movement and adjustment of a shutter or blind. Eight present operation modes
are possible in total.
Control LED: For controlling a light-emitting diode, switching and flashing. As the switch, it is with
time limit that turns off automatically after a preset time; as the flash, it is able to set the flashing rates.

Chapter 5 Parameter setting description in the ETS
Parameters and objects in the device application are outlined in this section. Parameters and
objects which are assigned to each channel, are equivalent and described in the following sections using
output A as an example.
5.1. Description of setting parameter in part of device channel
5.1.1. Parameter window “General Setting”
Parameters for the functions which affect the complete device can be set via the Fig.1.
Fig.1 parameter window “General Setting”
Parameter “Limit number of Tele.”
It is use to limit the number of sending telegrams to decrease the burthen of bus. It is possible to set
how many telegrams can be sent within an adjustment period.Options:
Yes
No
Parameter “Period”
It is able to set the limit time of sending telegrams.Options:
100ms
500ms
1s

Parameter “Max. Number Tele. Within a period [1…255]”
It is able to set the Max. number of sending telegrams within a setting period.Options: 1~255
5.1.2. Parameter window “Switch X”
Parameter window “Switch X” can be shown in Fig.2 and Fig.4. Fig.2 do not distinguish between
long and short operation while Fig.4 opposite.
Fig.2 Parameter window “Switch X”(do not distinguish between long and short operation)
Parameter “function of the channel”
The parameter determines the function option in the channel; the current option is “switch”. If “No
function” is selected, it means the channel is disabled.Options:
No function
Switch
Switch/Dimming
Value/Forced output
Scene control

Shutter Control
Parameter “Distinction between long and short operation”
This parameter sets whether the input distinguishes between a short and long operation. If “yes” is
selected, there is a waiting period after the opening/closing of the contact to determine whether the
operation is long or short. Only then is a possible reaction triggered. The following drawing clarifies the
function:
Options:
No
Yes
Note: The long operation in the below chapters are the same with here.
Parameter “Cyclic send Tele. ‘Tele. Switch’”
This parameter is visible if there is no distinction between a short and long operation. It is able to set
whether to send the current value of object “Tele. Switch, X” cyclically on the bus.Options:
No
Always
If switch off
If switch on
If the parameter value “always” is selected, the object sends cyclically on the bus, regardless of its
value is 0 or 1. If the parameter value “if switch off” or “if switch on” is set, only the corresponding object
value is sent cyclically.
