About KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater

KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater 3-0002-005

2 About KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater

2.1 Proper use

The KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater acts as an interface between a wired KNX TP instal-

lation and a KNX RF environment. The device can also be used as a repeater in an RF domain.

The routing properties of the media coupler enable its used as an area and line coupler, and as a seg-

ment coupler from ETS6.

The KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater is a KNX system device and complies with the KNX

guidelines.

Configuration: compatible ETS version

Simple integration into the KNX system (completely programmable via ETS):

• ETS from v5.7.5 as a KNX RF Ready device

• ETS from v6.1.1 as a KNX RF Ready device or as a KNX RF Multi device

• Product database entry: Download the corresponding product database entry from our website

www.ise.de or from the ETS online catalogue free of charge.

KNX Secure

• The required KNX Secure certificate or the FDSK (Factory Default Setup Key) that it contains can be

found on a sticker on the side of the device and is also enclosed with the device.

• For maximum security, we recommend removing the sticker from the device.

• Keep the certificate in a safe place.

• You cannot restore the certificate yourself.

• Please contact our support team if you lose the certificate despite utmost care.

• Only use KNX Secure for a safe communication. The BCU key has no function.

Important

ise Individuelle Software und Elektronik GmbH assumes no liability for damage caused by

improper use or use for purposes other than or contrary to the intended purpose.

The KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater is KNX Secure.

The device is compatible with KNX Secure. KNX Secure offers protection against

manipulation in building automation and can be configured in the ETS project.

About KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater

KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater 3-0002-005

2.2 How it works

The KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater is connected to the KNX installation via KNX/TP. By

supporting KNX RF Multi and KNX RF Ready, both radio standards can be operated in one KNX installa-

tion. Due to the configured filter properties, only necessary telegrams pass through the media coupler

in the direction of the RF domain and the TP installation.

Figure 1: System at home

2.3 Overview of functions

Ready to Slow Proxy (from ETS6)

The Ready to Slow Proxy enables the use of KNX RF Ready and KNX RF Multi devices in one installation.

KNX Security Proxy (from ETS6)

The Security Proxy enables the connection of devices with and without KNX Secure in one installation.

This means, for example, that an existing TP installation without KNX Secure can be extended with an

RF line with KNX Secure.

Repeater (retransmitter)

The RF repeater repeats radio telegrams to extend the range of the RF installation. The enables RF devi-

ces to be positioned as required, even under difficult transmitting and receiving conditions.

In repeater mode, power is supplied via the TP line or a suitable external DC power supply unit.

About KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater

KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater 3-0002-005

Use as an area coupler/line coupler/segment coupler

Depending on its location in the topology, the media coupler can be used as an area, line or segment

coupler to filter telegrams.

• Use as an area coupler is possible up to ETS5.

• The integration of segments is possible from ETS6.

Forwarding/blocking/filtering telegrams

The forwarding, blocking or filtering of physically addressed telegrams, group telegrams and broadcast

telegrams can be configured in the parameter settings of the product database entry for KNX RF Ready.

In a KNX RF Multi domain, the filter settings are automatically set by the location of the media coupler

in the topology of the ETS project.

RF programming lock

The RF programming lock (programming via TP only) enables secure operation, for instance in

hotels and other publicly accessible areas. However, we recommend using KNX Secure to prevent un-

authorised programming via RF.

Support of long frames

Telegrams with an APDU length of up to 238 bytes can be forwarded.

Functional enhancements through firmware updates

You can obtain functional enhancements for the KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater with a

new version of the firmware. The firmware can be installed via TP or RF. Simply download the latest firm-

ware and the relevant product manual from our website www.ise.de.

Installation

KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater 3-0002-005

6.2 Checking the installation conditions

Before starting the installation process, check that the requirements for the planned installation envi-

ronment have been met.

6.3 Choosing the installation location

The media coupler can be used as a line, area or segment coupler.

In addition, up to two more KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater can be used as repeaters per

radio type (2x RF Ready/Fast and 2x Slow) in order to increase the range of the RF installation.

Depending on the type of use, there are different installation locations:

• Area couplers are connected to the TP area line (backbone).

• Line couplers are connected to the TP main line of an area.

• Segment couplers are connected to the main segment line.

• Repeaters are connected to the TP line for the corresponding media coupler.

Alternatively, a separate DC power supply can be used, see Power supply unit (not included in scope

of supply), p. 9.

Important

Device functional fault due to incorrect ambient temperature in the installation environment

• Pay attention to the temperature of the installation environment: min. -5°C to max. 45°C

• Mount the in a non-metallic flush-mounted or surface-mounted device socket.

• No conductors or sheathed cables from other circuits may be routed through the device

socket.

• Use an IP55 socket in outdoor areas.

• Choose as central a position as possible in the RF installation in order to enable low-loss

communication with the RF devices.

• Maintain a sufficient distance from potential sources of interference, such as metallic surfa-

ces, microwave ovens, Hi-Fi and TV systems, ballasts and transformers.

If you use a separate DC power supply, install the repeater within radio range of the

media coupler.

Installation

KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater 3-0002-005

6.4 Connecting the device

Only qualified electricians may assemble and install the KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater.

Specialist knowledge of the installation regulations is a prerequisite.

Warning

Danger from incorrect use

Incorrect use can result in damage to the device, fire or other dangers.

• Only qualified electricians may install and mount electrical devices.

• Follow the instructions in this product manual.

• This product manual is part of the product and must remain with the customer.

Warning

Danger of electric shock

An electric shock can result from touching live parts in the installation environment.

Electric shock can cause death.

Pay attention to the installation regulations:

• Install bus line leads without sheathing (SELV) reliably disconnected from all non-safety low-

voltage cables (SELV/PELV).

• Maintain the specified clearance.

• For more information, see also the VDE regulations governing SELV (DIN VDE 0100-410 /

"Safe separation", KNX installation regulation).

Important

Danger due to impermissible heating

Do not connect using the unchoked 30 V output of a KNX power supply!

This could cause the KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater to heat up to impermissi-

ble levels.

Installation

KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler or RF repeater 3-0002-005

Work steps
