Connection diagram
Attention!
The motor cable must be directly connected to the control device ON-
YX.NODE: Clamping points/junctions in the motor cable are unacceptable.
Attention!
When actuating the 230 V lighting, the maximum output power of 450 VA
may not be exceeded. This must especially be observed with lightings with
electrical ballasts, which have a high inrush current.
In addition, a cut-off relay must be used with higher electric capacities.
“Power”-terminals for mains voltage 230 V AC / 50 Hz
The input is provided for the voltage supply of the module and the load. The names L and
N mark live cord and neutral conductor. Both clamps (L and N) are present in duplicate, the
voltage supply can thus be transferred to the next control device. Observe the terminal
assignment in Fig.1.
"Motor"-terminals for motor connection
The outputs are provided for the connection of the drive or the connection of the lighting.
The arrows on the device show the running direction of the drive. 230 V lighting is con-
nected to N and (L).
"Local"-terminals for pushbutton
To control the ONYX.NODE, a Venetian blind pushbutton or a switch / pushbutton for the
lighting can be connected to the terminals “Local”. Hence, the ONYX.NODE can also be
operated without a smart phone. Up to four ONYX.NODE (Art.-No. 50680002) can be
connected to a central pushbutton (a switch in case of lighting possible). If several ON-
YX.NODE are to be operated by one pushbutton, the following must be observed:
- All ONYX.NODE must be connected to the same phase.
- If several ONYX.NODE are operated by one pushbutton only, make sure that L and N
are not interchanged.
- The cabling may only be performed in a de-energized condition.

Connection diagram
Direction assignment of the outputs when connecting a Venetian blind, roller shut-
ter, awning motor
After having connected the drive, please check the direction assignment of the outputs.
When pressing the pushbutton into the UP-direction, the motor must move into the retract-
ing direction. When pressing the pushbutton into the DOWN-direction, the motor must
move into the extending direction. If this is not the case, please exchange the connections
on the outputs. The direction assignment can take place through the ONYX®-app at a later
time.
Configuration
Before configuring the ONYX.NODE, download HELLA’s free app ONYX®
from the app store / Google Play to your smart phone.
Before you can use ONYX.NODE in combination with ONYX.CENTER or
ONYX.CLICK, ONYX.NODE must be added in the app ONYX®. You will find
all information regarding the configuration in the instructions for ON-
YX.CENTER / ONYX.CLICK, directly in the app ONYX®or in the download
area on our homepage https://www.hella.info.
Precondition:
ONYX.NODE is installed (see chapter “Wiring diagram”). The mechanical
end positions of the drives must be adjusted.

Operating guidelines
Roller shutter mode
If a pushbutton is pressed briefly, the drive moves to the respective end
position (latching mode). As a standard, the roller shutter mode is adjusted
on delivery.
Venetian blind mode
If the pushbutton is pressed briefly (<2 seconds), the drive stops after releas-
ing the pushbutton (tilting mode). If the pushbutton is pushed for more than
two seconds, the drive moves to the respective end position (latching mode).
Light mode
When pressing the pushbutton, the lighting is switched on. When pressing
the pushbutton again, the lighting is switched off. Only in the light mode, also
a switch can be connected to the control device.
Groups
Groups with their different sun protection units can be configured freely in the
ONYX®-app. All units in one group can be controlled together.
Favourite position (heart symbol)
In the ONYX®-app six freely selectable positions per sun protection unit can
be saved, which you simply can use again at a later time.
Automatic Operation
In the ONYX®-app you can set up as many time functions as you like, which,
at the desired times, make your sun protection units move to the adjusted
positions. ONYX®is also provided with an astro function, which, at sunrise or
sunset, moves your sun protection unit automatically to a defined position.
With the help of the sun sensor a particular position can be defined, if the
threshold value of the sun is below or exceeds the preset value.

Settings
Device type
The different device types can be selected in the ONYX®-app under “ad-
vanced settings”.
It is necessary to define the type of device. By selecting the appropriate
category, it is assigned to this type. Device types are outdoor blind, roller
shutter, awning, facade blind and light. For device types, you do not want to
be displayed in the app, i.e. central pushbutton without a connected drive,
the drive type “Hidden” is available. By default the device type “Roller shut-
ter” is set.
Outdoor blind parameters
You find the outdoor blind parameters under “advanced settings” in the ON-
YX®-app.
Under “Tilting time” it is possible to transmit the time the outdoor blind re-
quires for a complete tilting to the ONYX®control. This must especially be
observed, if a drive with a slow slat tilting is mounted.
Preset tilting times:
Outdoor blind 90°: 1.25 s
Outdoor blind
180°:
2.5 s
Motor parameters
You find the adjustment possibilities for the motors under “advanced set-
tings” in our ONYX®-app.
If your sun protection unit moves contrary to the direction of your control
command, you can activate the reversal of the direction of rotation with the
icon “Reverse direction of rotation”.
In addition, the “automatic running time” can be activated/deactivated under
“motor parameters”. The automatic running time should be deactivated only,
if ONYX.NODE is not directly connected to a drive, i.e. to a cut-off relay. The
running time can be adjusted manually, when the automatic running time is
deactivated. As a standard the automatic running time is activated.

Settings
Pushbutton settings
You find the adjustment possibilities for the pushbutton under “advanced
settings” in the ONYX®-app.
The actuating direction at the connected Venetian blind pushbutton can be
reversed with “Reverse direction of pushbutton”. This function can be useful,
if the Venetian blind pushbutton is not correctly connected to ONYX.NODE.
Under “Forwarding pushbutton actuation” the pushbutton signal of the con-
nected Venetian blind pushbutton can be forwarded to other ONYX®compo-
nents. This function can be used for groups, which can be activated via one
single pushbutton.
Wind resistance class
You find the wind resistance classes in the ONYX®-app under “advanced
settings”. These preset wind resistance classes are only relevant, if the op-
tional weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER is used. Please note, that the real
values set depend on the installation situation on-site; these values are
available in the documentation of the sun protection device and must be
strictly observed!
Preset wind resistance classes:
Roller shutter Class 4 (13.8 m/s)
Awning Class 2 (10.7 m/s)
Facade blinds Class 4 (13.8 m/s)
Outdoor blind Class 4 (13.8 m/s)

Settings
Output selection and entry type
These two adjusting possibilities are only available for the device type “light”.
Under “output selection” you can select the output of the “motor”-terminal to
be used for the actuation of the lighting. It is possible to select between
“Channel A” (connection N and ) and “Channel B” (connection N and ).
As a standard “Channel A” is set.
Under “Entry type” you can select, if a pushbutton or a switch is connected to
the control device.
As a standard “pushbutton” is set.
A detailed description of all settings of the ONYX®-app are available in the
download area of our website https://www.hella.info.

Ideal use of the radio signal
In case of bad reception, the position of the ONYX.NODE must be changed.
Radio systems that send on the same frequency may cause interference
with reception.
It must be considered that the range of the radio signal is limited by statutory
regulations and structural measures.
