3 Operation
Each channel can be switched on and off independently of all parameters using the buttons on the
device. A status LED displays the current switching status.
All bus telegrams are ignored with manual operation switched on (manual button) and the channels are
exclusively to be operated via the buttons.
Mains voltage is required for the functioning of the buttons and LEDs, bus voltage or bus module are
not required.

5.2.3 Description of objects
•Object 0 "Switch object, threshold as percent, threshold 0..255, threshold EIS 5
(DPT 9.xxx), threshold 0..65535 "
This object activates the set channel function (see parameter: Channel function).
The set channel function can either be activated via 1-bit telegram or by exceeding a threshold (8- or
16-bit telegram).

Only available if Link is activated (Configuration options parameter page).
Forms a logical link together with object 0 to activate the channel function.
•Object 2 "Block"
Locks the channel function.
Responses to setting and cancelling the block can be configured if the block function has been
activated (Configuration options parameter page).

MIX 2 series RMG 4 U / RME 4 U actuators
•Object 3 "Call up/save scene"
Only available if the scene function has been activated (Configuration options parameter page).
This object can be used to save and subsequently call up scenes.
Saving stores the channel status.
It does not matter how this status is produced (whether via switch commands, central objects or the
buttons on the device).
The saved status is restored when it is called up.
All scene numbers from 1 to 64 are supported.
Each channel can participate in up to 8 scenes.
See appendix: Scenes
•Object 4 "Block scenes = 1, Enable scenes = 1"
Locks the scene function with a 1 or a 0 depending on the configuration.
As long as it is blocked, scenes cannot be saved or called up.
•Object 5 "On/Off feedback"
Reports the current channel status.
The status can also be fed back inverted depending on configuration.
•Object 6 "Time to next service, operating hours feedback "
Only available if the hour counter function
has been activated (Configuration options parameter page).
Reports, depending on selected Type of hour counter (Hour counter and service parameter page),
either the remaining period to the next service or the current status of the hour counter.
•Object 7 "Service required"
Only available if the hour counter function has been activated (Configuration options parameter page)
and Type of hour counter = Counter for time to next service.
Reports if the next service is due.
0 = not due
1 = service is due.

MIX 2 series RMG 4 U / RME 4 U actuators
•Object 240 "Central permanent ON"
Central switch-on function.
Enables simultaneous switch on of all channels (basic and extension modules) with a single telegram.
0 = No function
1 = Permanent ON
Participation in this object can be set individually for each channel (Configuration options parameter
page).
IMPORTANT:
This object takes top priority.
As long as it is set, the other switch commands will not work on the participating channels.
Works on the following devices:
RMG 4 U / RME 4 U, RMG 4 I / RME 4 I, RMG 8 S / RME 8 S, RMG 8 T / RME 8 T,

•Object 241 "Central permanent OFF"
Central switch-off function.
Enables simultaneous switch off of all channels (basic and extension modules) with a single telegram.
0 = No function
1 = Permanent OFF
Participation in this object can be set individually for each channel (Configuration options parameter
page).
IMPORTANT: This object has the second highest priority after Central permanent ON. As long as it
is set, the other switch commands will not work on the participating channels.
Works on the following devices:
RMG 4 U / RME 4 U, RMG 4 I / RME 4 I, RMG 8 S / RME 8 S, RMG 8 T / RME 8 T,
