1INTRODUCTION
1.1 MAXINBOX 66
MAXinBOX 66 from Zennio is a versatile KNX actuator featuring a wide variety of
functions:
6 relay outputs, configurable as:
Up to 3 independent shutter channels (with or without slats),
Up to 6 individual ON/OFF outputs,
A combination of the above.
6 multi-purpose inputs, configurable as:
Temperature probes,
Binary inputs (i.e., pushbuttons, switches, sensors),
Motion detectors.
10 customisable, multi-operation logic functions.
4 independent thermostats.
Master light control for an easy, out-of-the-box control of a set of luminaires
(or functionally equivalent devices) one of which acts as a general lamp and
the others as secondary lamps.
Manual operation / supervision of the 6 relay outputs through the on-board
pushbuttons and LEDs.
Heartbeat or periodical “still-alive” notification.

1.2 INSTALLATION
MAXinBOX 66 connects to the KNX bus through the on-board KNX connector.
Once the device is provided with power from the KNX bus, both the individual address
and the associated application program may be downloaded.
This device does not need any additional external power since it is entirely powered
through the KNX bus.
Figure 1. MAXinBOX 66. Elements
The main elements of the device are described next.
Test/Prog. Pushbutton (8): a short press on this button sets the device into
the programming mode, making the associated LED (5) light in red.
Note: if this button is held while plugging the device into the KNX bus, the
device will enter into safe mode. In such case, the LED will blink in red every
0.5 seconds.
Outputs (2 and 6): output ports for the insertion of the stripped cables of the
systems being controlled by the actuator (see section 2.3). Please secure the
connection by means of the on-board screws.
Inputs (1): input ports for the insertion of the stripped cables of external
elements such as switches / motion detectors / temperature probes, etc. One

of the two cables of each element needs to be connected to one of the slots
labelled “1” to “6”, while the other cable should be connected to the slot
labelled as “C”. Note that all the external input devices share the “C” slot for
one of the two cables. Please secure the connection by means of the on-
board screws.
To get detailed information about the technical features of this device, as well as on the
installation and security procedures, please refer to the corresponding Datasheet,
bundled with the original package of the device and also available at www.zennio.com.
1.3 START-UP AND POWER LOSS
During the start-up of the device, the Test/Prog. LED will blink in blue colour for a few
seconds before MAXinBOX 66 is ready. External orders will not be executed during this
time, but afterwards.
Depending on the configuration, some specific actions will also be performed during
the start-up. For example, the integrator can set whether the output channels should
switch to a particular state and whether the device should send certain objects to the
bus after the power recovery. Please consult the next sections of this document for
further details.
On the other hand, when a bus power failure takes place, MAXinBOX 66 will interrupt
any pending actions, and will save its state so it can be recovered once the power
supply is restored.
For safety reasons, all shutter channels will be stopped (i.e., the relays will open) if a
power loss takes place, while the individual outputs will switch to the specific state
configured in ETS (if any).

2CONFIGURATION
2.1 GENERAL
After importing the corresponding database in ETS and adding the device into the
topology of the desired project, the configuration process begins by right-clicking into
the device and selecting Edit parameters.
ETS PARAMETERISATION
The only parameterisable screen available by default is General. From this screen it is
possible to activate/deactivate all the required functionality.
Figure 2. General screen
Once activated, Inputs, Outputs, Logical Functions, Thermostats, Scene
Temporization and Master Light bring additional tabs to the menu on the
left. These functions and their parameters will be explained in later sections of
this document.
Sending of Indication Objects (0 and 1) on Bus Voltage Recovery: this
parameter lets the integrator activate two new communication objects (“Reset
0” and “Reset 1”), which will be sent to the KNX bus with values “0” and “1”
respectively whenever the device begins operation (for example, after a bus

power failure). It is possible to parameterise a certain delay to this sending (0
to 255 seconds).
Figure 3. Sending of Indication objects on bus voltage recovery
Heartbeat (Periodical Alive Notification): this parameter lets the integrator
incorporate a one-bit object to the project (“[Heartbeat] Object to Send ‘1’”)
that will be sent periodically with value “1” to notify that the device is still
working (still alive).

2.2 INPUTS
MAXinBOX 66 incorporates 6 analogue/digital inputs, each configurable as a:
Binary Input, for the connection of a pushbutton or a switch/sensor.
Temperature Probe, to connect a temperature sensor (models SQ-AmbienT
and ZN1AC-NTC68 S/E/F from Zennio).
Motion Detector, to connect a motion detector (models ZN1IO-DETEC-P
and ZN1IO-DETEC-X from Zennio).
Important:Older models of the Zennio motion detector (e.g., ZN1IO-DETEC
and ZN1IO-DETEC-N) will not work properly with MAXinBOX 66.
2.2.1 BINARY INPUT
Please refer to the “Binary Inputs”user manual, available under the MAXinBOX 66
product section at www.zennio.com.
2.2.2 TEMPERATURE PROBE
Please refer to the “Temperature Probe”user manual, available under the MAXinBOX
66 product section at www.zennio.com.
2.2.3 MOTION DETECTOR
It is possible to connect motion detectors (models ZN1IO-DETEC-P and ZN1IO-
DETEC-X from Zennio) to the input ports of MAXinBOX 66. This brings the device with
the possibility of monitoring motion and presence in the room, as well as the light level.
Depending on the detection, different response actions can be parameterised.
Please refer to the “Motion Detector” user manual, available under the MAXinBOX 66
product section at www.zennio.com, for detailed information about the functionality and
the configuration of the related parameters.
Notes:
The ZN1IO-DETEC-P motion detector is compatible with a variety of Zennio
devices. However, depending on the device it is actually being connected to,

MAXinBOX 66

the functionality may differ slightly. Therefore, please refer specifically to the
aforementioned user manual.
Motion detectors with references ZN1IO-DETEC and ZN1IO-DETEC-N are
not compatible with MAXinBOX 66 (may report inaccurate measurements if
connected to this device).
When connected to MAXinBOX 66, the rear micro-switch of model ZN1IO-
DETEC-P should be set to position “Type B”.
