3 Product description
The Controlmini (short: panel) is a high-quality panel computer for wall mounting. It serves
as a display and control unit for the components and installations controlled via KNX.
3.1 Software
The panel can be operated both with the supplied YOUVI software and with other
Windows-compatible software.
3.1.1 Operating system
The operating system used is Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. All components
required for the unit to function have been pre-installed. To activate functions such as write
protection, the preinstalled Tectool can be used. Further instructions and drivers can be
downloaded from www.peaknx.com in the download area. Other programs for the visualiza-
tion of building information and for building control can be installed later. PEAKnx provides
no service and no warranty for software products from other companies as well as in case of
OS driver updates.
3.1.2 Operation with the PEAKnx software YOUVI
The YOUVI Basic visualization software included in the scope of delivery is used to control
KNX devices such as sockets, switches, lights, dimmers, RGB lights, heaters, blinds or shut-
ters. Thanks to the IP router included in the software package, the panel can run YOUVI‘s
visualization without an external server or additional bus coupler. Only the connection to
the IP network and the KNX bus (via the integrated KNX connection on the panel) is neces-
sary. In addition to visualization and IP router, a bus monitor is also included in the scope of
delivery, which can record and filter the KNX traffic.
In addition to the basic functions for controlling KNX devices, YOUVI can be extended via
modules for IP camera connection, control via app on the road or voice control. All current
modules are available in the shop at www.peaknx.com > Shop > Software > YOUVI.

Note: For the YOUVI installation, please pay special attention to the YOUVI quick reference
guide and the information on KNX project preparation to enable the automatic reading of the
project. This quick reference guide is included in the delivery.
Further information about YOUVI can be found in the YOUVI Help, which can be opened in
the program YOUVI Dashboard > ? > Help. Here you will also find the current range of func-
tions of the software under: YOUVI Visu > Scope of functions.
3.1.3 Operation with third-party software
The Windows 10 LTSC operating system pre-installed on the panel allows the use of other
Windows-based software for e.g. visualizations and door intercoms. Depending on the
software used, the functional scope of the panel can be expanded considerably. A list of
compatible software can be found in the FAQs:
www.peaknx.com/FAQ, topic “compatibility”.
Note: PEAKnx does not guarantee the function of third-party software on the panel.
Further instructions for setting up the panel can be found in the download area:

3.7 Notes on the panel‘s ports
3.7.1 KNX terminals
The KNX port is used as a KNX interface for the PEAKnx software and as a direct or IP inter-
face for other server applications/KNX software.
A terminal of the following specification is used for the KNX connection:
KNX WAGO 243 211, conductor diameter: 0.6 - 0.8 mm.
Note: The device cannot be used as a line coupler for KNX lines!
3.7.2 Ethernet port
Note: Make sure to install the correct cabling standard to fully use the 100 Mbit LAN (at
least Cat 5).
3.7.3 Power supply
The plug-in terminal for the voltage supply is designed for a conductor cross-section (rigid)
from 0.14 mm² to 1.5 mm². The conductor cross-section (flexible) with wire end ferrule
without plastic sleeve must be in the range from 0.25 mm² to 1.5 mm².
3.8 Controls
Avoid danger of injury from falling parts!
■Ensure that small children do not have access to the magnetically adhering front
glass and can‘t accidentally loosen it.
3.8.1 Graphical user interface
Touch the panel to operate. A brief touch of the panel is interpreted as a mouse click. A right
mouse click is obtained by a prolonged touch (approx. 3 seconds).
Text entries can be made using the Windows on-screen keyboard. This can be found in the
task bar at the bottom right. If you swipe from the right side of the screen, you can also
switch to tablet mode in the menu that appears so that the keyboard appears automatically
when you type in a text box.

Controlmini, User manual
14
Avoid damage to front glass and display!
■Do not use the touch screen with sharp or pointed objects.
3.8.2 Connections for external mouse and keyboard
To connect additional controls to the panel, such as an external mouse or keyboard, a USB
port is available at the back of the panel. There are two additional USB ports on the panel
front under the glass cover, for example to use a USB adapter for a wireless keyboard and
mouse, or to transfer data onto the panel.
Avoid overheating of important panel components!
■Avoid prolonged use of power-intensive devices on the USB port.

5 Important safety and handling information
The Controlmini may only be installed and commissioned by qualified
electricians!
Observe the national regulations applicable in your country regarding
installation, functional testing, repair and maintenance of electrical
products!
■Observe the „Five Safety Rules“ (DIN VDE 0105, EN 50110) and apply them correctly:
-Disconnect mains
-Prevent reconnection
-Test for absence of harmful voltages
-Ground and short circuit
-Cover or close off nearby live parts
■Before installation, make sure that all connecting cables of the device are un-
damaged.
Avoid damage to the panel!
■The panel may only be installed in landscape format and parallel to the wall to
ensure ventilation of the computer in the panel by convection.

6 Installation and start-up
The Controlmini can be mounted to the wall both flush (flush-mounted box PNX-
018-A17-00023 ) and surface-mounted (surface-mounted frame PNX-018-A18-00041).
Furthermore, it is possible to mount the Controlmini with a suitable adapter frame on
various flush-mounted boxes of other manufacturers. Further instructions for mounting the
surface-mounted version or fixing with the help of adapters are supplied with the respective
surface-mounted frame or adapter.
6.1 Preparation
Note: We recommend hedging the panel, since in rare cases the panel must be taken comple-
tely from the power supply, see section 9.1.2 Disconnecting the panel from the power supply.
Necessary accessories for the installation of the panel:
■Flush-mounted box (PNX-018-A17-00023) or surface-mounted frame (PNX-
018-A18-00041)
■Glass cover
■Power supply unit 24 V DC for DIN rail (PNX-019-A18-00039) (recommended)
or
■Power supply unit 24 V DC for the flush-mounted box (PNX-019-A19-00071)
6.2 Flush-mounted installation
Tip: Choose the installation height of the panel according to the height of the primary user
so that the top edge of the panel is at his/her eye level. A slightly lower screen prevents
fatigue of the arms during operation.

6.3 Connecting the power supply
Avoid electric shock when touching live parts!
■Disconnect all associated circuit breakers before working on the device.
■Cover live parts in the surroundings.
6.3.1 Prepare the voltage source for the DIN rail (recommended)
■Use a power source of the following specification:
-24 V DC, 2,5 A for the control cabinet, Item number: PNX-019-A18-00039
■Connect the cable wires of the power supply unit with the pluggable screw terminal
included in the scope of delivery. Please pay attention to the polarity.
6.3.2 Using a power supply unit in the flush-mounted box
Particularly, when replacing a foreign device with the Controlmini, a power supply is often
already present in the flush-mounted box. This means that mains voltage and low voltage
are in the same housing and if connected incorrectly, even parts that normally only carry
low voltage unintentionally carry mains voltage.
Avoid touching dangerous voltages in the event of a fault!
■Installation may only be carried out by qualified electricians!
■Check that there is no voltage before starting work!
■Route cables so that low voltage wires are dependably protected against mains
voltage.

screw terminal included in the scope of delivery. Please pay atten-
tion to the polarity.
3. Connect the mains cable to the 230 V side of the power supply unit.
4. Grounding
-When using a power supply unit in the flush-mounted box of the Controlmini:
-Connect the grounding in the flush-mounted box. Use the supplied grounding set:
жWhen using a power supply unit in a third-party flush-mounted box:
