Please observe the subsequent general safety instruc-
tions for the installation and operation of the system:
– Use only original Rittal products or products recom-
mended by Rittal in conjunction with the comfort
handle.
– Please do not make any changes to the comfort
handle that are not described in this manual or in the
associated manuals.
– The operational safety of the comfort handle is only
warranted in case of use as intended and according
to the rules. The technical specifications and limit
values stated must not be exceeded under any cir-
cumstances. In particular, this applies to the specified
ambient temperature range and IP degree of protec-
tion.
– The comfort handle housing must not be opened.
The unit does not contain any parts that need servic-
ing.
– Operating the system in direct contact with water,
aggressive materials or inflammable gases and va-
pours is prohibited.
– Other than these general safety instructions, ensure
you also observe the specific safety instructions
when the tasks described in the following chapters
are performed.
– When closing the handle, take care not to insert your
finger between the handle lever and the comfort han-
dle housing, as it could become trapped.
2.2 Service and technical sta

nance and repair of this unit may only be performed
by qualified mechanical and electro-technical trained
personnel.
– Only properly instructed personnel may work on a

3 Product description
EN 3 Product description
3.1 Functional description and components
3.1.1 Function
The comfort handle functions as a door latch, handle
lever monitor and visual LED status display. A 40mm
semi-cylinder to DIN 18 252 serves as the master key.
This can be used to open the handle in an emergency.
If the lever handle is closed, the latch mechanism inte-
grated into the comfort handle locks automatically.
The handle can be incorporated into the CMCIII
system. This requires a CMCIII Access Control
(DK7030.202) which is attached near the door in
conjunction with a base system. An example of a
base system might be a CMCIII Processing Unit
(DK7030.000), a CMCIII Processing Unit Compact
(DK7030.010), a Rittal IoT Interface (SK3124.300)
and a Rittal PDU (DK7979.xxx, except PDU basic). In
such cases, the handle can be released via the base
system or using additional optional systems such as a
coded lock (DK7030.222/.223) or transponder reader
(DK7030.232/.233). The comfort handle has an identi-
fier enabling it to be detected automatically by the base
system.
Alternatively, the opening of the comfort handle can
also be controlled via an external controller. In such
cases, the external controller provides both the supply
voltage and the signal for opening the lever handle via
the PLC interface.
Note:
In the following text, the designation
"CMCIII Processing Unit" refers to the
"CMC III Processing Unit" variants and also
to the base systems. All text passages that
apply only to a specific variant are identified
accordingly.
3.1.2 Components
The CMC III online comfort handle VX consists of a
compact plastic housing in RAL 9005 or RAL 7035.
The handle lever, a switch, the master key (profile
half-cylinder) where applicable, and the multi-LED (ring)
are located on the front.
3.2 Proper use, foreseeable misuse
The CMC III online comfort handle VX is only used
for locking the door and monitoring the lever han-
dle. It may only be used in conjunction with a base
system and, where applicable, the Access Control
(DK7030.2020) or alternatively with activation via the
PLC interface. Any other use is not permitted.
The unit is state of the art and built according to rec-
ognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, incorrect use
may result in damage to or faults with the system and
other material assets.
Consequently, the unit must only be used properly
and in a technically sound condition! Any malfunctions
which impair safety should be rectified immediately!
Follow the operating instructions!
The intended use also includes the observance of the
documentation provided and fulfilling the inspection
and maintenance conditions.
Rittal GmbH & Co. KG is not liable for any damage
which may result from failure to comply with the docu-
mentation provided. The same applies to the non-ob-
servance of the valid documentation for any deployed
accessories and the base systems.
Inappropriate use may result in danger. Inappropriate
use includes:
– Use of impermissible tools.
– Improper operation.
– Improper rectification of malfunctions.
– Use of accessories not approved by Rittal GmbH &
Co. KG.

5.1 Safety instructions
◾ Please observe the valid regulations for installation
in the country in which the comfort handle is in-
stalled and operated, and the national regulations for
accident prevention. Please also observe any internal
company regulations, such as work, operating and
safety regulations.
◾ The technical specifications and limit values stated
must not be exceeded under any circumstances. In
particular, this applies to the specified ambient tem-
perature range and IP degree of protection.
◾ If a higher IP protection class is required for a special
application, the transponder reader must be installed
in an appropriate housing or in an appropriate enclo-
sure with the required IP degree of protection.
5.2 Siting location requirements
To ensure the unit functions correctly, the conditions
for the installation site of the unit specified in section8
"Technical specifications" must be observed.
Electromagnetic interference
– Interfering electrical installations (high frequency)
should be avoided.
5.3 Installation of lock insert
A lock insert no. 3524 E or 40 mm profile half-cylinder
to DIN 18 252 may be used in the comfort handle as
an alternative access option for the enclosure. This
allows the handle to be opened manually and inde-
pendently of the electrical activation.
◾ Fit the lock insert or profile half-cylinder in the holder
included with the supply of the comfort handle (fig.2,
MA= 2+1Nm).

5.5 Connecting the comfort handle
5.5.1 Connection to Access Control
The Access Control supplies the comfort handle with
the necessary operating voltage via the connection
cable. A separate power supply unit does not need to
be connected.
◾ First disconnect the CAN bus from the Access Con-
trol.
◾ Fit the handle to the door to be monitored (see sec-
tion5.4 "Installation procedure").
◾ Connect the handle via the connection cable to the
Access Control.
◾ Connect a reader unit to the Access Control with the
connection cable.
◾ Connect the CAN bus to the Access Control again.
5.5.2 Connection to external controller
Opening the comfort handle may alternatively be con-
trolled without an Access Control, connected coded
lock or transponder reader. In such cases, the required
voltage supply and the signal for opening the handle
lever must be provided by the external controller via the
PLC interface.
◾ For this purpose, please note the pin assignment of
the RJ12 connector on the comfort handle connec-
tion cable.

◾ Please also note the following:
– Pins 3 and 4 are not used for activation via the PLC
interface.
– The 24V DC control signal is needed to activate
and open the handle lever.
– The feedback signal "Gnd" on pin 6 means that
the handle lever is closed. The maximum current
capacity is 100mA.

7.1 Storage
If the device is not used for a long period, Rittal recom-
mends that it be disconnected from the mains power
supply and protected from damp and dust.
7.2 Disposal
Since the comfort handle consists mainly of the
"housing" and "circuit board" parts, the device must be
passed on to the electronic waste recycling system for
disposal.
