1INTRODUCTION
1.1 MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH / 8CH v2
MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH v2 and MAXinBOX SHUTTER 8CH v2 from Zennio are
KNX specific actuators (of 4 or 8 channels, respectively) for controlling motorised
shutter / blind systems.
The most outstanding features are:
8 / 16 relay outputs, configurable as up to 4 / 8 independent shutter
channels (with or without slats).
20 customisable, multi-operation logic functions.
Scene-triggered action control, with an optional delay in the execution.
Manual operation / supervision of the shutter channels through the on-
board pushbuttons and LEDs.
Heartbeat or periodic “still-alive” notification.
Relay Switches Counter.

1.2 INSTALLATION
MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH / 8CH v2 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 SHUTTER 8CH v2
Note: the above figure is entirely analogous for MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH v2.
The main elements of the device are described next.
Test/Prog. Pushbutton (5): a short press on this button sets the device into
the programming mode, making the associated LED (3) 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 (1 and 2): output ports for the insertion of the stripped cables of the
systems being controlled by the actuator (see section 2.2). Please secure the
connection by means of the on-board screws.

Manual control pushbuttons (6):pushbuttons for a direct control of the
shutter channels during the set-up process. See section 2.5.
To get detailed information about the technical features of this device, as well as on the
installation process and on security procedures, please refer to the corresponding
Datasheet, bundled with the original packaging 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 the device 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 shutter 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, the device 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.

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 entering the
Parameters tab of the device.
ETS PARAMETERISATION
The only parameterisable screen available by default is General. From this screen it is
possible to activate/deactivate all the required functionality.

Outputs [disabled/enabled]

: enables o disables the “Outputs” tab on the left
menu. See section 2.2 for more details.
Logic Functions [disabled/enabled]: enables o disables the “Logic
Functions” tab on the left menu. See section 2.3 for more details.
Scene Temporization [disabled/enabled]: enables o disables the “Scene
Temporization” tab on the left menu. See section 2.4 for more details.

Manual Control [disabled/enabled]: enables o disables the “Manual Control”
tab on the left menu. See section 2.5 for more details.
Sending of Indication Objects (0 and 1) on Bus Voltage Recovery
[disabled/enabled]: 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 [0…255] to this sending.
Figure 3. Sending of Indication objects on bus voltage recovery.
Heartbeat (Periodic Alive Notification) [disabled/enabled]: 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).
Figure 4. Heartbeat (Periodical Alive Notification).
Note: The first sending after download or bus failure takes place with a delay
of up to 255 seconds, to prevent bus overload. The following sendings match
the period set.
Show Relay Switches Counter Objects [disabled/enabled]: enables two
communication objects to keep track of the number of switches performed by
each of the relays ("[Relay X] Number of Switches") and the maximum
number of switches carried out in a minute ("[Relay X] Maximum Switches
per Minute").

2.2 OUTPUTS
MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH / 8CH v2 incorporates 8 or 16 relay outputs, respectively,
configurable as up to 4 or 8 independent shutter channels, each of which will
operate one motorised shutter system.
For detailed information about the functionality and the configuration of the parameters
related to the shutter channels, please refer to the specific manual “Shutters”,
available in the MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH / 8CH v2 product section at the Zennio
homepage (www.zennio.com).
2.3 LOGIC FUNCTIONS
This module makes it possible to perform numeric and binary operations to incoming
values received from the KNX bus, and to send the results through other
communication objects specifically enabled for this purpose.
MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH / 8CH v2 can implement up to 20 different and
independent functions, each of them entirely customisable and consisting in up to 4
consecutive operations each one.
The execution of each function can depend on a configurable condition, which will be
evaluated every time the function is triggered through specific, parameterisable
communication objects. The result after executing the operations of the function can
also be evaluated according to certain conditions and afterwards sent (or not) to the
KNX bus, which can be done every time the function is executed, periodically or only
when the result differs from the last one.
Please refer to the specific “Logic Functions in MAXinBOX SHUTTER”user manual
(available in the MAXinBOX SHUTTER 4CH / 8CH v2 product section at the Zennio
homepage, www.zennio.com) for detailed information about the functionality and the
configuration of the related parameters.

2.4 SCENE TEMPORISATION
The scene temporisation allows imposing delays over the scenes of the shutter
channels. These delays, defined in parameters, are applied on the execution of one or
more scenes that may have been configured.
Please bear in mind that, as multiple delayed scenes can be configured for each
shutter channel, in case of receiving an order to execute one of them when a previous
temporisation is still pending in that channel, the channel will interrupt such
temporisation will be interrupted and only the delay and the action of the new scene will
be executed.
ETS PARAMETERISATION
Prior to setting the scene temporisation, it is necessary to have one or more scenes
configured in some of the channels. When entering the Configuration window under
Scene Temporization, all configured scenes will be listed, together with a few
checkboxes to select which of them need to be temporised, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Scene Temporization
Enabling a certain scene number nbrings a new tab with such name to the menu on
the left, from which it is possible to configure the temporisation of that scene for each of
the channels where it has been configured.

Figure 6. Configuration of Scene Temporization
Therefore, parameter “Scene m. Shutter Channel Z Delay” [0…3600 [s] / 0…1440
[min] / 0…24 [h]], defines the delay that will be applied to the action defined in Z for the
execution of scene m (where Z may be a specific shutter channel).
Note: In the configuration of a scene of a shutter channel it is possible to parameterize
several scenes with the same scene number. This means that several delay
parameters associated with the same output appear in the configuration tab of the
delays of that scene. With this parameterization, the behavior will be as follows: the
action and delay of the first scene parameterized with the same scene number will
always prevail, where the highest priority scene is 1 (the first in the scene configuration
tab) and the lowest priority is the last.
