1 Information on the product

1.1 Product catalogue

Product name: KNX RF radio converter

Use: System device

Design: Installation

Art.-no. MK100RF

1.2 Function

Media and segment couplers are the link between a specific KNX RF environment

(RF = Radio Frequency) and a wired KNX TP installation (TP = Twisted Pair).

With regard to the routing property of telegrams, media and segment couplers func-

tion like standard TP backbone/line couplers. This means that RF devices can com-

municate with TP devices via a media and segment coupler or (with additional IP

backbone couplers) with IP devices and vice versa. Media couplers possess filter

settings and filter tables. The exact function of the device is determined by the selec-

ted parameterization and by the physical address.

Optionally, the device can additionally or alternatively work as a repeater. A repeater

repeats the radio telegrams received in its RF line by retransmitting them immedi-

ately. This allows an extension of the range of a KNX RF installation, meaning that it

is possible to position RF devices as required in a building, even in the case of diffi-

cult transmission and reception conditions.

The media and segment coupler is a device which allows the media type RF on the

lower-level line and the media type TP on the higher-level line. The media and seg-

ment coupler can be configured and commissioned with the ETS version 5 or higher.

The segment coupler functionality is supported from ETS version 6.0.5. The device is

powered via a KNX TP bus connection (KNX voltage supply unit) or alternatively, via

a suitable external DC voltage supply unit in repeater operation.

2 Safety instructions

Electrical devices may only be mounted and connected by electrically skilled

persons.

Serious injuries, fire or property damage possible. Please read and follow manual

fully.

The radio communication takes place via a non-exclusively available transmission

path, and is therefore not suitable for safety-related applications, such as emergency

stop and emergency call.

This manual is an integral part of the product, and must remain with the end cus-

tomer.

Mounting and electrical connection

KNX RF radio converter | Art. no. MK100RF | Page 8 of 42

3 Mounting and electrical connection

General

Mount in suitable flush-mounted or surface appliance boxes.

In outdoor installations: Use appliance box IP55.

Do not place the device in metallic small distribution boards or appliance

boxes.

Do not lead any wire or sheathed cables from other power circuits through the appli-

ance box.

Precondition: To ensure good transmission quality, keep a sufficient distance from

possible interference sources, e.g. metallic surfaces, microwave ovens, hi-fi and TV

sets, ballasts or transformers.

Connect the device and mount it for use as media/segment coupler

The device is connected to and supplied by a KNX bus cable (TP).

Precondition: Ideally, the media coupler is positioned in the centre of an RF installa-

tion (domain), to allow low-loss and thus interference-free communication with all the

associated RF devices.

￭ Connect device to a KNX bus cable. For this, use a KNX device connection

terminal. Ensure correct polarity.

If the media coupler is used as a line coupler, the KNX bus cable must be the

main line of a TP area. If the media coupler is used as a backbone coupler,

the KNX bus cable must be the TP area line (Backbone) of the KNX installa-

tion. If the media coupler is used as a segment coupler, the KNX bus cable

must be the first segment of the line.

￭ Place the device in the appliance box.

￭ When laying the antenna, extend the antenna extended as much as possible.

If this is not possible, position the antenna behind the device in a circular ar-

rangement.

When using blank covers, make sure the antenna does not lie directly behind

the metal supporting frame.

Connect the device and mount it for use as a repeater only (no media/segment

coupler function)

If needed, the repeater can be connected to a KNX bus cable (TP) via which it is sup-

plied, as long as the bus cable is the TP line of the associated media coupler. Thus

the use of the repeater is especially relevant for retroactive solutions in existing TP

systems.

Alternatively, a repeater can also be supplied via a separate DC voltage supply, even

without KNX bus voltage.

Mounting and electrical connection

KNX RF radio converter | Art. no. MK100RF | Page 9 of 42

Use purely as an RF repeater is only possible in RF lines, but not in lower-

level RF segments.

Precondition: The repeater is positioned within radio range of the media coupler and

ideally within radio range of another repeater of the same RF domain, to allow low-

loss and thus interference-free communication with all the associated RF devices.

￭ Connect the device to a KNX bus cable or, alternatively, to a separate DC

voltage supply. For this, use a KNX device connection terminal. Ensure correct

polarity.

Do not use the unchoked 30V output of a KNX voltage supply! The media

coupler may heat up to an impermissible temperature.

In the case of a device with the marking "V02" or higher, the "Repeater-Prog-

mode" of the device must be activated before the physical address is pro-

grammed.

In the case of connection to a TP bus cable, direct ETS program access to the

device via the TP side during repeater operation is no longer possible after

commissioning. Consequently, the repeater can only be programmed and dia-

gnosed (e.g. with the use of suitable KNX RF USB data interfaces or via an-

other media coupler of the same RF domain) via the RF side.

￭ Place the device in the appliance box.

￭ When laying the antenna, extend the antenna extended as much as possible.

If this is not possible, position the antenna behind the device in a circular ar-

rangement.

When using blank covers, make sure the antenna does not lie directly behind

the metal supporting frame.

Commissioning

KNX RF radio converter | Art. no. MK100RF | Page 10 of 42

4 Commissioning

General

The device can be inserted and commissioned as either a media coupler or a seg-

ment coupler (segment coupler only from ETS6.0.5 onwards with an application pro-

gram intended for this purpose). In RF lines, use purely as an RF repeater is also

possible.

The device operates as a media coupler when it is given a physical address in the

form x.y.0 (line coupler) or x.0.0 (backbone coupler) (x = area address, y = line ad-

dress).

The device operates as a segment coupler or as a repeater in RF lines when it is as-

signed a physical address in the form x.y.1...255.

In an RF domain, always commission the media coupler first! Only then should any

optional additional repeaters and all other participants of the RF installation be pro-

grammed. Ideally, install and connect the repeater after the media coupler has been

completely commissioned.

Precondition: An appropriate device must be created and configured in the ETS pro-

ject. Device has been connected and the power is switched on.

Project design and commissioning with ETS5 or a more recent version.

Project design and commissioning as segment coupler with ETS from version

6.0.5 onwards.

Programming mode is deactivated after the physical address has been suc-

cessfully programmed, or is generally deactivated by a device test (power fail-

ure, ETS programming process of the application program). Programming

mode is also deactivated automatically after 4 minutes if none of the above

events occurs.

Commissioning the device as media coupler or segment coupler

As delivered, the device can be programmed and commissioned via the TP side (e.g.

with the use of suitable USB or IP data interfaces) or via the RF side (e.g. with a KNX

RF USB data interface).

After a successful initial commissioning, access to the device for programming may

be restricted because of an active configuration lock (see chapter "Configuration

lock" } Page 28).

￭ Press the programming button (2) (see figure 1).

The status LED (3) lights up red. Programming mode is activated.

￭ Load the physical address into the device. The ETS also automatically loads

the domain address of the RF line into the device.

The red status LED goes out.

Commissioning

KNX RF radio converter | Art. no. MK100RF | Page 11 of 42

When programming the media coupler via RF: For the programming of the

physical address and the domain address to be carried out and completed cor-

rectly, the domain address of the RF line must match the domain address of

the RF communication interface (e.g. KNX RF USB data interface)! Otherwise,

communication errors can be expected. The domain address of the KNX RF

USB data interface used is configured in the general connection settings of the

ETS. In an ETS project, the domain address of an RF line or a media/segment

coupler is configured in the line properties (separate for each RF line).

￭ Load the application program into the device using the ETS.

The filter table is automatically loaded to the device together with the applica-

tion program via the ETS. Whether or not the filter table is used for routing

group telegrams in media coupler operation is defined by the device paramet-

ers. In pure repeater operation, the filter table has no function.

Commissioning the device as a repeater

The device can be programmed and commissioned purely as a repeater in RF lines

(no media coupler function) via the TP side only to a limited extent (e.g. with the aid

of suitable USB or IP data interfaces insofar as the device is connected to the TP line

of the associated media coupler). Programming access to the device via the RF side

is always possible with no limitation (e.g. with a KNX RF USB data interface or via a

media coupler).

After commissioning, a repeater can no longer be reached directly via the TP side.

As a result, further programming operations using the ETS can no longer be ex-

ecuted on the TP side without the media coupler. Direct access to the device via the

TP side is only possible again when the device is reset to delivery state (see chapter

"As-delivered state" } Page 40).

Program the physical address and the application program always separately.

The procedure for commissioning as a repeater depends on the version of the in-

ternal device software.

Commissioning a device with a marking from "V02" onwards

In the case of a device with the marking "V02" or higher, the "Repeater-Prog-

mode" of the device must be activated before the physical address is pro-

grammed.

￭ Disconnect the device connection terminal.

￭ Hold down the programming button (2) (see figure 1).

￭ Reconnect the device connection terminal.

The device restarts. The status LED (3) briefly lights up red and then yellow.

￭ Release the programming button as soon as the status LED starts flashing red

slowly.

Safe-state mode is active.

Commissioning

￭ Press programming button again and hold about 2seconds until status LED

lights up yellow.

The device is in "Repeater prog. mode".

￭ Release the programming button.

￭ Commission the device with a physical address x.y.z (z≠0).

￭ Load the Physical Address to the device via the TP side (if the device is con-

nected to the TP line of the associated media coupler) or the RF side. The

ETS also automatically loads the domain address of the RF line into the

device.

The status LED goes out.

After the physical address has been successfully programmed, the device can

no longer be reached with the ETS via the TP side, because the device's TP

transponder is switched off! This feature is necessary because from a topolo-

gical standpoint, a repeater (without media coupler function) is exclusively as-

signed to the RF line, and no longer to a TP line. Consequently, afterwards the

application program can only be programmed separately via the RF side. To

do so, either a programming connection via the media coupler of the RF do-

main can be used (TP -> RF) or alternatively, a KNX RF USB data interface.

Where necessary, the TP line of the media coupler can be used for voltage supply to

the repeater (see chapter "Mounting and electrical connection" } Page 8).

When programming the repeater via RF: For the programming of the physical

address and the domain address to be carried out and completed correctly,

the domain address of the RF line must match the domain address of the RF

communication interface (e.g. KNX USB RF data interface)! Otherwise, com-

munication errors can be expected. The domain address of the KNX RF USB

data interface used is configured in the general connection settings of the

ETS. In an ETS project, the domain address of an RF line or a repeater is con-

figured in the line properties (separate for each RF line).

￭ Load the application program into the device using the ETS.

In pure repeater operation, the filter table has no function.

Commissioning a device with a marking up to "V01"

￭ Press the programming button.

The status LED lights up red. Programming mode is activated.

￭ Load the Physical Address to the device via the TP side (if the device is con-

nected to the TP line of the associated media coupler) or the RF side. The

ETS also automatically loads the domain address of the RF line into the

device.

The red status LED goes out.
