Through this parameter is possible to set the delay of tran-
smission of telegrams after a power on by selecting the time
by which the device is allowed to send telegrams.
In large systems after a power failure or shutdown this delay
avoids to generate excessive trac on the bus, causing slow
performance or a transmission block.
If there are dierent devices requiring sending telegrams on
the bus after a reset, these delays must be programmed to
prevent trac congestion during the initialization phase.
The input detection and the values of objects are updated at
the end of the transmission delay time
At the end of ETS programming the device behaves like after
a power on.

With this parameter it is enabled the sending of
the status of the button without having to wait for
a change of front; a telegram is sent accordingly to
the press/release state of the button.
Note 1:
When periodical sending is enabled for one only
of the two edges, switching in the state where “no
telegram”is associated causes the periodic sending
stop.
Note 2:
If you want to handle both instant sending and
periodic sending on only one of two fronts without
performing an action on the other, for this you must
select the option “no telegram”.
Note 1:
If you enable the sending of the telegram for button
where you have already set the cyclic sending ; then
the cyclic sending will start automatically at power
on; at the end of the rst period.
Note 2:
If the command selected is “TOGGLE”, the rst
value sent is always 1 because the CO value on
power on is 0.
7. Activation short/ long press
The dierence duration between short and long
press is dened by the generic parameter“Mini-
mum time for long press button central / left”. You
can set to send a telegrams with dierent values
on short and long press or decide to send com-
mands only on one of this events.
The parameters and mode of transmission of
telegrams can be managed through “activation

8. Input: Dimming
9. Input: Shutter and Blind
10. Input: Scene Management
Through the dimming function it’s possible to
control a light dimmer using short & long press
of a button. Each button uses 2 communication
objects:
• 1 bit dimension for ON /OFF command
associated to short press operation
• 4 bit dimension for brightness regulation
associated to long press operation
Through the Shutter and Blind function it’s possi-
ble to control Roller Shutters or Blinds using short
& long press of a button.
Each button uses 2 communication objects:
• 1 bit dimension for STEP /STOP command
associated to short press operation
• 1 bit dimension for UP / DOWN command
associated to long press operation
In this conguration page it’s possible to set the
button for scene management: learn and recall
scene commands.
These dierent behavior (recall and learn) are per-
formed through two dierent actions (short and
long press) of butto.
Learn scene on long press action is enabled by a
parameter.

action a learn scene telegram is sent to the bus.
If this parameter is enabled you have a communica-
tion object (size = 1 bit). When this object receives
a telegram“1” then the function associated to the
long press of the button (send the telegram storage
scenario) is enabled, when it receives a telegram“0”
the command associated with the long press is not
sent.
This parameter sets the value of the scene you
intend to learn / recall (one per button).
Remember that output devices (i.e. actuators, etc.)
generally can manage several scenes, each identi-
ed by a value (that varies from 0 to 63); therefore
is important to set this parameter correctly and
matching the number set on the actuators.

11. Commands in sequence
The function allows you to associate to short and
long press, sequences of dierent commands on
the bus.
For inputs this function is available for short and
long press or for toggle evaluation.
The sequence consists of 2 or 3 commands which
can each be sized as 1 bit or 1 byte.
Once dened the number of elements in the
sequence (2 or 3) and their size (1-bit / 1 byte),
you can associate dierent commands to each
element of the sequence or decide to send com-
mands only on one of the two events.
The waiting time between a command and the
next is xed in 1 second.
Each object communication can be connected to
a dierent group address.
For example it is possible to dene a sequence:

It’s ‘possible to add an oset to the temperature value
measured by the probe before it is sent on the bus or made
available for reading.
You can also enable two thresholds for temperature and, for
each thresholds, send a telegram of attention (of size 1 bit)
whenever the measured temperature exceeds or falls below
the threshold.
For each threshold can be set whether to send the tele-
gram “1” when the measured temperature “T” exceeds the
threshold temperature “Tx” and then send the telegram “0”
when the measured temperature “T” becomes less than the
threshold temperature “Tx“or vice versa.
It’s ‘possible to enable the periodic sending of measured
temperature value, if this option is disabled, reading can be
done only on read-request.
See description of “Enable threshold T1 (low)”.
Allows to initialize enable object as active (1) or inactive (0)
after power on, reset or download.
It’s ‘possible to enable/disable the remote temperature
sensor with a communication object. When this object is
enabled and receives a telegram “1” the temperature probe
is active and sends trigger telegrams according to thresholds
T1 and T2 values; otherwise only temperature value is
periodically sent.
If you enable the periodic sending the sending interval is set
by this parameter.

13. Thermostat Function
14. Target Setpoint Settings
The temperature sensor can be congured as a
thermostat to control the temperature of a room
or area by driving heating or cooling equipment
/ air conditioning fan coils / valves or through
commands on / o to heating /cooling elements
such as radiators, heat pumps, split, etc. ..
• The thermostat operates temperature in
a range from -50 ° C to + 100 ° C with 0.1 ° resolu-
tion.
• Setpoint values sent to the device on the
bus are accepted in a range from 10°C to 50°C
• Setpoint accepted in SETPOINT MODE are
in a range from 10°C to 50 °C

SETPOINT MODE object
When “Thermostat control mode” parameter is
selected with the value SETPOINT MODE, object
HVAC Mode is no longer visible.
Each time the thermostat receives a value on
object SETPOINT MODE ( 2 byte size), it is used as
setpoint for temperature control.
HVAC MODE object (switched heat / cool)

SIMPLY INIMITABLE.
Using the object HVAC MODE (1 byte size), you can set
the thermostat in one of the following modes: OFF;
ECONOMY; STANDBY; COMFORT; each mode is asso-
ciated with a setpoint set by a ETS parameter.
OFF mode is associate to setpoint antifreeze in
heating mode and high temperature protection in
cooling mode.
HVAC MODE object (automatic heat / cool)
Behaviour for this value of parameter “Thermostat
control mode” is the same as above described but
the switching from heating to cooling mode and vice
versa is automatic. With this setting it is necessary to
set an insensitive zone as in parameter “Dead zone”.
Whenever temperature becomes greater than :
Setpoint comfort heating + (Dead Band / 2) active
control is cooling; when temperature becomes less
than: Setpoint comfort cooling - (Dead Band / 2) acti-
ve control is heating. COMFORT object
COMFORT object (1 bit size) is visible only when “Ther-
mostat control mode” parameter is selected with the
value HVAC MODE.
When a telegram“1” is received thermostat goes
in COMFORT mode (it applies for both heating and
cooling)
On receipt of a telegram “0”, thermostat returns to the
mode set by HVAC MODE object.
COMFORT mode can be set also with timing: after
a time set by a parameter thermostat returns in the
previous mode.
WINDOW CONTACT object
This object, if enabled, has higher priority than HVAC MODE,
SETPOINT MODE, COMFORT objects.
When a telegram is received (“0”or “1”) on the communication
object WINDOW CONTACT thermostat enters a power saving
mode:
• BUILDING PROTECTION (if running in HVAC MODE)
• Setpoint antifreeze / high temperature protection (if
running in SETPOINT MODE)
SETPOINT COMFORT object
SETPOINT STANDBY object
SETPOINT ECONOMY object
These 2 byte objects are used to set the setpoint va-
lues for COMFORT, STAND-BY, ECONOMY mode.
Whenever change, the setpoint are in saved in me-
mory.
After download these setpoint are reset to values ac-
cording to ETS parameter; on power up these object
are set according to last values before power down.
• Use these communication objects to change
current setpoint for every HVAC Mode according to
the current active control (heating or cooling)

If the telegram received indicates that the window is
opened thermostat change its mode or setpoint after
1 minute from the reception of the telegram.
When it receive a telegram corresponding to state
“window closed” it restores the previous mode, always
with a delay of 1 minute . The value of SETPOINT
ADJUSTMENT (if enabled) is always restored.
SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT object
The object SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT allows you to
temporarily change the setpoint value used by the
thermostat applying an oset to the current value.
If the thermostat is operating in “HVAC MODE” the
oset value is applied from the time of receipt of a
valid telegram on object SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT until
this value does not change, even in case of change
of the active mode (Comfort and Standby only); this
does not happen with regard to Economy mode and
Building Protection: in this modes the value of object
SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT is forced to 0.
Similarly, if the thermostat is operating in SETPOINT
MODE the oset value is applied also when the
setpoint value received on this object changes.
ADDITIONAL TEMPERATURE object
It is possible to enable the reading of a second exter-
nal probe which sends the measurement data to the
thermostat via the communication object ADDITIO-
NAL TEMPERATURE of size 2 bytes.

Whenever the thermostat receive a valid data from additio-
nal temperature sensor it consider this value in the calcula-
tion of the measured temperature and reset the internal time
(monitoring time), if the surveillance time expires without
receiving any valid data thermostat start considering only
the internal probe (at 100%) until it receives a new valid data.
(see paragraph 10“Temperature probe failure / out of range
measurement “)
• If external probe is enabled the monitoring
time is used to check if the additional temperature
sensor periodically sends valid data to the thermostat.
This mechanism avoids to consider as valid some data
which can be old hours or days, for example if the
additional sensor should fail or the thermostat could
not receive data for long time.
• It is strongly recommended to set a value for
surveillance time of the additional sensor more than
twice of the period set for the cyclical sending of the
additional sensor.
• If the external probe is weighted at 100%
(Parameter Ratio between internal and external =
external sensor only) then when the monitoring time
expires the thermostat switch o all controlled loads
until the reception of a valid telegram
ACTUAL SETPOINT object
The ACTUAL SETPOINT object send the setpoint in use
and is sent every time:
• The value of HVAC mode object changes
• The value BASE SETPOINT changes
• The value of SETPOINT ADJUSTMENT object

• After download
• One minute after power on
Control algorithm“2 points on / o” is used to control
heating or cooling elements that can be controlled by
switching on and o of the same elements, radiators,
underoor heating with on-o valves, boilers, etc. ..
When the thermostat switches to“winter mode”
(heat mode) sends a o command on object ON/OFF
COOLING and operates the control only through the
object ON/OFF HEATING (the object ON/OFF COO-
LING is therefore not updated anymore until it returns
in “cooling mode”).
Therefore in the transition from“ winter” to “summer”
mode sends a o command on ON/OFF HEATING
commands and activates the control through the
object ON/OFF COOLING.

on/o control in heating mode:
On/o with PWM control is an algorithm that reduces
the eects of hysteresis around the set point value
by adjusting the controls on the values ranging from
0% to 100% where 0% means“control o”and 100%
means “maximum control action”.
Once a cycle time is dened the thermostat sets the
actuator to ON for a fraction of the cycle time and OFF
for the remaining part. Driving the actuator with the
control value of 80% means that it is active (i.e., ON)
for 80% of cycle time and OFF for the remaining 20%.

The proportional band BP is a range of temperatures
between “Setpoint” and “Setpoint-Bp” in heating mode and
between “Setpoint” and “Setpoint+Bp” in cooling mode, wi-
thin this interval thermostat controls the temperature using
the proportional algorithm; outside It drives actuator always
in ON or OFF.
When temperature is inside this range device wait the end of
the cycle time before calculating the duty cycle of the next
cycle.
When temperature is outside of this range : below “Setpoint-

PWM control in heating mode: Control logic for a 3 speed fan coil in heating:
When temperature increasing
Fan coil is a device that controls the ow of cooling /
heating liquid driving a valve (2-pipe fan coil) or two
valves (4-pipe fan coil).
Liquid exchanges heat/cool with the environment
through a ventilation system controlled by a fan. The
fan is driven by an engine that typically has 3 windin-
gs that can be enabled at 3 distinct speeds.

Logic and parameters are the same used in On/o
with PWM control mode; the dierence is that now
the proportional value is sent to the bus via a 1 byte
object format as a % value from 0% to 100%.
This mode is useful to control fan coils (selecting 2
or 4 pipes) or generic proportional actuators as valve
drivers only linking the 1 byte communication object
and avoiding to link the valve objects.
CONTINUOUS CONTROL object
This 1 Byte object send % control value to actuator.
SET MAN/AUTO MODE object
SET MAN/AUTO MODE Objects is a CO for changing
the calculation mode for CONTINUOUS CONTROL
object; in AUTO Mode the calculation is carried out
via a proportional algorithm (Δ temperature between
actual temp. and Setpoint Temp) and a integral cor-
rection (Cycle Time ); in MAN mode the output value
control is set by the value send to the object FORCE
VALUE IN MANUAL MODE object.
• If the temperature probe is disconnected or
in short circuit the control action is interrupted and
the controlled actuators are switched o.
• The value of temperature sent on the bus in
case of probe disconnection or short circuit or for out
of range measured value is 0 °C (according to KNX
DPT_Value_Temp 9.001)
TEMPERATURE SENSOR ALARM object
In event of temperature probe failure / out of range
measurement a telegram from 1 bit communication
object - obj #33: “Temperature sensor alarm” - is sent

Measure of temperature is performed every 60 seconds; if
the temperature probe is disconnected or in short circuit the
control action is interrupted and the controlled actuators are
switched o.
probe disconnection / short circuit / out of range measure-
ment:
Obj #15 “Actual temperature”transmits 0 °C
Obj #33 “Temperature sensor alarm transmits “1”
If the additional temperature is out of range or the surveil-
lance time expires without any message received, thermostat
stops the control action and the controlled actuators are
switched o.
If internal probe is anyway connected (but not used until ad-
ditional probe is working good) then in event of failure of the
additional probe the internal probe is used (see behaviour of
conguration mode 1).
When additional probe begin to measure a “in-range”value
thermostat start again its control action and return to consi-
der the additional probe.
Measure of internal temperature is performed every 60 se-
conds; the additional temperature is read every 60 conside-
ring last value received on Obj #16“Additional temperature”.
The value of temperature sent on the bus is the pounded
average between internal and additional probes value.
If the additional temperature is out of range or the surveil-
lance time expires without any message received, thermostat
start considering only the internal probe until it receives a
new valid value from the additional probe; in this case the
additional value is taken in count again.
Anyway, if the internal temperature is out of range or probe
is disconnected / short circuit then the control action is inter-
rupted and the controlled actuators are switched o:
Obj #15 “Actual temperature”transmits 0 °C regardless the
value received from additional sensor.
Obj #33 “Temperature sensor alarm transmits “1”
When internal probe starts again to measure a“in-range”
value thermostat start again its control action.

SIMPLY INIMITABLE.
20. Behavior of Thermostat on voltage failure,
recovery and commissioning.
21. Control Panel
Behavior on bus voltage failure
On failure of bus voltage no actions are executed by
the device; behavior of controlled actuators must be
set using their own parameters.
Behavior on bus voltage recovery
On bus voltage recovery all the communication
objects are set to 0 except for objects for which a
parameter is dened for the initial value.
Thermostat keeps these values in memory and restore
them after recovery:
• Heat / Cool mode (if enabled)
• HVAC Mode (if enabled)
• Base Setpoint (if enabled)
• Force value in manual mode (if enabled)
Control values (i.e. commands to actuators) are cal-
culated on the base of actual setpoint and measured
temperature.
• After power on device recalculates the com-
mands to actuators and switch them on, if necessary,
otherwise does not carry out any action; you are
recommended to set the behavior of actuator in order
to switch the heating / cooling equipment o after
bus power on.
Behaviour on commissioning (ETS Download)
After download it is possible to set initial value of:
• Heat / Cool mode (if enabled)
• HVAC Mode (if enabled)
For other communications objects the behavior is
identical to bus voltage recovery.
Wrong application download
If the wrong ETS application is downloaded then KNX/
EIB led starts blinking and device is not operative on
the bus. A power reset must be done and the correct
ETS application must be downloaded.
The operator panel mode is used when the device
behaves as a user interface while the temperature
control function is delegated to another device or to
a subsystem that communicates with the operator
panel via the KNX bus
Communication object what can be written on the
KNX bus (can be used all or some):
• Temperature Alarm
• Actual Temperature
• Actual Setpoint
In this Mode the three capacitive buttons continue to
work normally. [1]
[1]: functions freely congurable can be used to
manage the type HVAC controls, the speed of the fan
coil, or various commands such as ECO; DND, MUR,
OFF; etc ..
Communication object what can be read on the KNX
bus (can be used all or some):
• Actual Temperature (from another KNX devi-
ce)
• Setpoint Adjustment (1 bit or 1 byte object
that permits the adjustment “-“/”+” of the sepoint)
• After power on device recalculates the com-
