1 INTRODUCTION
Iddero touch panels are advanced systems that let users monitor and control home and building
automation installations based on KNX technology.
Besides allowing for local monitoring and control from the touch panel itself, Iddero touch panels
feature an integrated web server for access to the system from a smart phone, tablet, PC, or any other
device equipped with a standard web browser. Additionally, the HC2-KNX and HC2L-KNX models can
be used as indoor terminals for compatible video door phones, and for IP camera monitoring.
This manual is intended for installers and system integrators, and provides technical information about
the operation and configuration of Iddero touch panels.
2 OVERVIEW
2.1 System Components
Iddero touch panels are wall-mounted units that can be conveniently and intuitively controlled through
their colour touch screen (1).
The unit features a LED status indicator (2) which provides immediate visual feedback of the system
overall status, according to the following colour coding:
Colour Meaning
Red There is an active or pending alarm, or the bypass function has been enabled
Yellow Presence simulation in progress
Green Normal operation
The HC2-KNX and HC2L-KNX models also feature a built-in microphone (3) and stereo speakers
(hidden behind the display) for the video door phone function.

The central area of the screen (2) shows different icons, buttons and additional items that you can use
control the system.
At the bottom of the screen, the navigation bar (3) allows you to move quickly between different pages
linked to a particular zone (see Chapter 3, User Interface).
The “Back” icon (4) allows you to return to the previous page or section at any time.
2.3 Install Mode
Entering Install Mode
Certain operations, such as uploading a new project to the touch panel or updating the firmware, can
only be accomplished if the system is in a special mode named install mode.
In order to enter install mode, reboot the system and touch on the lower right corner on the screen for
at least three seconds during the loading process. The touch panel will beep three times to
acknowledge the request and will enter install mode (the unit also enters install mode automatically
the first time it boots, or when no valid project data is found.)

Network configuration
In order to access the touch panel from your PC, both devices must be in the same TCP/IP subnet.
For example, if the touch panel’s IP address is 192.168.0.200, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
(default values), the IP address of the PC should also be in the 192.168.0.x range (for example,
192.168.0.201), with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
The current IP address and subnet mask of the touch panel are shown on the installation screen.
Please refer to your operating system’s documentation for detailed help on configuring the network
settings on your PC.

3.2 Control Pages
Overview
Conceptually, the installation is considered to be divided into zones. Zones are arbitrary groups of
elements and devices (“components”) within the installation. A zone may represent, for example, a
room in a house, an office, a specific department in a services building, or just a group of devices that
may not actually share a physical location.
Devices associated with a zone are, in turn, arranged in one or more control pages. Grouping of
devices into pages can be done according to different criteria: function, frequency of use of the
devices, etc.
Each zone can consist of up to eight control pages, and each control page can group up to eight
devices. Therefore, up to 64 devices are allowed per zone.
Zone Selection
Zone selection can be done through maps, which are often used to graphically represent the home or
building plan. A series of “active areas” or touch areas is defined in each map. Each touch area can
lead to a zone, or to another map. It is therefore possible to establish a hierarchy of maps for more
complex installations, or just use one single map for simpler installations.
Map definition is entirely optional. If maps have not been defined in the project configuration, the
system will just display a list of zones, allowing the user to select zones by name.

Component Types
The different types of components that can be used in control pages are briefly described below.
Some components are “generic” and can be used with arbitrary KNX communication objects, whereas
other components are specifically designed to control certain types of actuators.
The following generic component types can be used:
-Indicator: A generic “read-only” component that displays the current state of the associated KNX
communication object. The state of the communication object can be displayed as text, using
icons, or –for numeric data types– with a level bar.
-Universal push button: A generic component that displays the state of a communication object and
can also send values to the communication object when the component is pressed. The value to
be sent depends on the configuration of the push button:
Send a single value on press
Send different values on press and release
Send different values on short press and long press
Send a user-selected value out of several available options (up to four options can be
configured per button)
-Regulation bar: A generic component that displays and sends values to a communication object
through an interactive regulation bar. This component can be used with numeric data types.
-Numeric keypad: A generic component that displays and sends values to a communication object
through an interactive numeric keypad. This component can be used with numeric data types.
-Text keyboard: A generic component that displays and sends values to a communication object of
type Character (DPT 4.x) or String (DPT 16.x), using a full interactive keyboard.
The following table shows compatible KNX data types for each of the above mentioned generic
components:
Data Type Description Indicator Universal

Additionally, the following specialized components may be used:
-Lamp control: A specialized component to control a lighting actuator. Supports on, off, and
dimming, depending on the features of the actuator to be controlled.
-Blind / shutter control: A specialized component to control a blind / shutter actuator. Supports blind
/ shutter motor control (move up / move down, stop / step), and –if supported by the actuator–
accurate positioning of the blind / shutter.
-Forced actuator: A specialized component to control actuators supporting forced operation (DPT
2.x data types).
-Scene control: A specialized component to activate (short press) and, optionally, save (long press)
scenes defined in the project configuration.
-RGB control: A specialized component to control RGB lighting actuators.
)Please note:
The “Scene control” component is designed to control scenes managed by the touch panel. You can
use the “Universal push button” component to send a telegram in order to activate a scene managed by
an external scene controller.
HVAC Control Pages
HVAC pages are control pages specifically designed to monitor and control HVAC equipment. For
each HVAC page, the HVAC system type to be controlled must be configured. The following options
are available.
-Standard thermostat: Designed for control of a standard KNX thermostat. Thermostat control can
be done by temperature setpoint and / or by thermostat mode. Control by thermostat mode allows
setting of the current thermostat operation mode, according to the modes defined by the KNX
standard:
Comfort
Standby
Economy (sometimes called “Night”)
Protection (the thermostat remains off, except for the protection mechanisms against
overheating and freezing).
-Standard thermostat + machine control: Similar to the standard thermostat option, but it also
allows control of the “machine mode” or operation mode of the A/C unit (cool, heat, ventilation,
dry, and auto modes), along with control of the fan speed (0...100%) in fan-coil type A/C
equipment.
-Split controller (IRSC): Designed for integration with IRSC split controllers from Zennio. Supports
control of the temperature setpoint, operation mode of the A/C unit, fan speed, and vane
movement.
-Split controller (Intesis): Designed for integration with IntesisBox gateways from Intesis. Supports
control of the temperature setpoint, operation mode of the A/C unit, fan speed, and vane
movement.

www.iddero.com IDDERO HCx-KNX TOUCH PANELS – User Guide
12
It is also possible to setup a HVAC control page to control the internal thermostat of the touch panel
(see functional description in Section 4.10, Internal Thermostat). In this case, thermostat control
should be done by temperature setpoint, and not by thermostat mode.
3.3 Predefined Pages
The buttons at the bottom of the zone selection page provide access to the following pages:
Button Description
Provides access to the IP cameras page. If the project does not include any IP cameras this
button will not be shown.
Provides access to the video door phone page. If the video door phone function has not been
configured, this button will not be shown.
Provides access to the security page. If no security functions (alarms or presence simulation)
have been configured, this button will not be shown.
Provides access to the time schedules page. If no time schedule channels have been
configured, this button will not be shown.
Provides access to the user preferences and settings pages.
3.4 Time Schedules
The time schedules page shows a list of the existing timer channels defined in the project. If a channel
is currently disabled, its name will be displayed in a darker colour. This allows for quickly checking
which channels are enabled and disabled at a glance.
Select one of the timer channels and the four available timer programs are shown. Touch any program
to edit its configuration (start / end times and actions, and days of the week and date ranges where the
actions should be run).
See Chapter 4 for a detailed functional description of time schedules.

3.5 Security
The security page shows a list of configured alarms and their states.
From the security page you can:
Enable and disable presence simulation
Enable and disable the bypass function
Acknowledge pending alarms (either individually, or all pending alarms at once)
Access the event log
See Chapter 4 for a detailed functional description of the alarm subsystem and presence simulation.
3.6 Video Door Phone
Incoming Calls
When an incoming call is received (that is, when a guest presses the call button in the door phone
station) the touch panel will play a ring tone through the integrated loudspeakers, and the incoming
call icon ( ) will be shown in the status bar.
If the touch panel was idle, it will automatically turn on and switch to the video door phone page. If the
option “Password required to start session” has been enabled for the project (see Section 3.9, Access
Control), a valid PIN code will be required in order to enter the door phone page.
If the touch panel is in use when an incoming call is received, it will not switch to the video door phone
page automatically, in order to avoid interrupting the user’s operation. The user can then navigate to
the video door phone page manually.

In the video door phone page, use the buttons in the right hand side of the screen as follows:
Button Description
Press the “pick up” button to accept the incoming call and establish the audio communication
Press the “hang up” button to reject an incoming call, or to terminate a call in progress
Press the “open door” button to send the door open signal. If the door station can control two
doors (or one door plus courtesy lights), two buttons will be shown
Press the “settings” button to open the audio settings dialog
Checking the Door without an Incoming Call
You can navigate to the video door phone page at any time even if there is no incoming call. You will
be able to watch the video captured by the door phone’s camera, but will not be able to establish an
audio communication.
Depending on the door station type and configuration, the open door buttons may not be available if
there is no call in progress.
Audio Settings
The audio settings dialog allows you to configure the following parameters:
Ring volume: Volume of the incoming call ring tone
Audio volume: Audio volume once the call is accepted
Microphone level: Gain of the touch panel’s built-in microphone
The “Default” button in this dialog box restores all parameters to their reference values (factory-set
defaults).

3.9 Access Control
Up to four different access levels can be defined, each of which is protected by an access code (PIN)
which can be modified by the user. Access levels are hierarchical, where level 1 represents the
highest priority and level 4 represents the lowest priority.
For each page in the application, including both control pages and predefined pages, the minimum
required access level can be defined. For example, if level 1 is specified for a page, users can only
access it by entering the PIN code corresponding to level 1. If level 2 is specified for a page, users can
access it by entering the PIN code for either level 1 or level 2, and so on.

www.iddero.com IDDERO HCx-KNX TOUCH PANELS – User Guide
20
The system prompts for a PIN code every time users try to access a page that requires higher
permissions than they currently have (for example, when a user that has previously entered a level 2
PIN code tries to access a page that requires level 1).
Additionally, it is possible to specify whether a valid access code is required in order to start a new
session from the home page (“Password required to start session”). In that case, when the user
touches the home page, a valid PIN (for any of the access levels defined) will be required.
Current user permissions remain in effect until the user returns to the home page, either manually or
due to system idle time (see next section).
3.10 System Inactivity and Power Saving Mode
After a certain period of inactivity (i.e., no user interaction), the system automatically returns to the
home page. Once on the home page and, again, after a certain period of inactivity, the system enters
power saving mode.
During power saving mode, the display is automatically turned off and the power consumption is
minimized, even though all system functions (such as timers, alarm monitoring, etc.) remain
operational.
Touch the screen to exit power saving mode. The system also exits power saving mode automatically
upon reception of an incoming call from the video door phone.
Touch
