2.2 Functions
Extensive button functions
A function can be triggered by a single button or a pair of buttons. This provides a wide range of operating
options. The button functions include “switch”, “send values”, “scene” , “switch/send values short/long
(with 2 objects)”, “ blinds/shutter” and “dimming”.
Innovative group control
Standard functions can be extended with an extra long keypress. For example, the blinds function: a short/
long keypress moves a single blind, an extra long keypress then moves all blinds in the living room (group)
centrally.
The innovative group control can also be used for lighting: the short keypress switches the individual
lighting , the long keypress switches all the lights in the room and the extra long keypress switches the
entire floor, for example.
Status LED / Orientation light (only Push-button Plus 55 and Plus TS 55)
Next to the buttons are two-colour status LEDs which can react to internal objects, external objects or
button operation. The display behaviour can be set differently (red/green/off and permanently on or
flashing).
There is an additional LED in the centre which can be used as an orientation light.
Logic function (only Push-button Plus 55 and Plus TS 55)
A variety of function calls can be realised through a total of 4 logic blocks. The logic function can process
both internal and external objects.
Temperature sensor (only Push-button Plus TS 55)
By activating the sensor, the measured temperature can be sent to the bus. In addition, the sending
behaviour of the measured value and a correction value can be congured.
Long Frame Support
The push-button supports “long frames” (longer telegrams). These contain more user data per telegram,
which signicantly reduces the programming time.

2.4 Structure & Handling
The following pictures show the structure of the push-buttons (here using the example of BE-TA55P8.02):

3 = Red programming LE 4 = Operating buttons
5 = Orientation-LED (only Plus 55 and Plus TS 55) 6 = Status LEDs (only Plus 55 and Plus TS 55)
2.4.1 Labelling eld
The central eld between the buttons can either be individually labelled or kept neutral. The accessories
supplied include a transparent and a grey cover.
Labelling: Using a labelling template (available on our website in the download area), an individual
labelling is created, printed out on paper and cut to size accordingly. Insert the template into the eld in
the push-button and now place the transparent cover over it.
Neutral: If no labelling is required, only the grey cover is placed in the eld in the push-button.
Note:Please do not insert both covers on top of each other!
2.5 Commissioning
1. Wire the device according to the connection diagram.
2. Connect interface to the bus, e.g. MDT USB Interface.
