1INTRODUCTION
1.1 TECLA XL
Tecla XL is a KNX multifunction capacitive touch switch from Zennio with proximity
sensor, luminosity sensor and backlighted buttons.
They are offered at a reduced weight, with four, six, eight or ten capacitive touch
buttons (according to the user’s needs) with LED backlight to confirm the press of the
buttons as well as showing states.
Tecla XL is a fully customisable solution for the control of rooms where user control of
air conditioning systems, lighting, blinds, scenes, etc. is required.
The versatility offered by the functionality of buttons is complemented by an internal
temperature sensor and a thermostat function, as well as an elegant design with fully
customisable backlit icons.
The most outstanding features of Tecla XL are:
Fully customisable backlit icons.
4 / 6 / 8 / 10 touch buttons, which can operate as individual or pair controls:
Horizontally or vertically-oriented configuration.
Light indicator (LED) for every button.
Buzzer for an audible acknowledgement of user actions (with the possibility of
disabling it either by parameter or by object).
Possibility of locking / unlocking the touch panel through binary orders or
scenes.
Welcome Back object (binary or scene) which is sent to the KNX bus when a
pulsation is detected after a certain period (configurable) of inactivity.
Built-in temperature sensor.
Ambient luminosity sensor for brightness automatic adjustment.

1.2 INSTALLATION
Figure 1 shows the connection outline of Tecla XL:
Tecla XL is connected to the KNX bus through the built-in terminal (1). An external DC
power supply is not needed.
A short press on the programming button (5) will make the device enter the
programming mode. The programming LED (4) will then light in red. On the contrary, if
this button is held while the device gets connected to the bus, the device will enter the
safe mode. In such case, the programming LED will blink in red colour.
For detailed information about the technical features of Tecla XL, as well as on security
and installation procedures, please refer to the device Datasheet, bundled within the
device packaging and also available at www.zennio.com.

1.3 START-UP AND POWER LOSS
After download or device reset it is necessary to wait for about 2 minutes without
performing any action in order to make it possible a proper calibration of:
Proximity sensor.
Luminosity sensor.
Button presses.
For a correct calibration of the proximity and brightness sensors it is recommended not
to remain too close or place anything less than 50cm approximately and do not hit with
direct light to the device during this time.

2CONFIGURATION
After importing the corresponding database in ETS and adding the device into the
topology of the project, the configuration process begins by entering the Parameters tab
of the device.
2.1 GENERAL
In order to allow the device to perform the desired functions, a number of options must
be parameterized, either related to its general behaviour or to advanced features.
2.1.1 CONFIGURATION
In the "Configuration" tab, the general settings are displayed.
ETS PARAMETERISATION

The following parameters are shown:
Device Orientation [Vertical (Rotated) / Horizontal (Rotated)]
1
: enables
horizontal or vertical orientation to be assigned to the device, for easy
identification of the push-buttons during configuration process (ETS will show
a figure with the final distribution of the push-buttons). To prevent inconsistency
in the configuration, please note the following criterium:
Vertical (rotado):
Temperature probe hole
on the right side and the
sensors on the middle.
Horizontal (normal):
Temperature probe
hole on the left of the
bottom side and
sensors on the
middle.
Figure 3. Orientation.
Buttons [enabled]: read-only parameter to make it evident that the “Buttons”
tab is always enabled in the tab tree on the left. See section 2.2 for details.
Thermostat [disabled/enabled]: enables or disables the “Thermostat” tab in
the tree on the left. See section 2.3 for details.
Heartbeat (Periodic Alive Notification) [disabled/enabled]: incorporates 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.
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 march the
period set.

The default values of each parameter will be highlighted in blue in this document, as follows:
[default/rest of options].

Device Recovery Objects (Send 0 and 1) [disabled/enabled]: this parameter
lets the integrator activate two new communication objects (“[Heartbeat]
Device Recovery”), which will be sent to the KNX bus with values “0” and “1”
whenever the device begins operation (for example, after a bus power failure).
It is possible to parameterise a certain delay [0…255][s] to this sending.
Figure 5. Device Recovery Objects.
Note: After download or bus failure, the sending takes place with a delay of up
to 6,35 seconds plus the parameterised delay, to prevent bus overload.
Internal Temperature Sensor [disabled/enabled]: enables or disables the
“Temperature Sensor” tab in the tree on the left. See section 2.1.2 for details.
Sounds [Default / Custom]: sets whether the sound functions (button beeps,
alarm and doorbell) should work according to the pre-defined configuration or
to a user-defined configuration. See section 2.1.4 for details.
Ambient luminosity sensor [disabled/enabled]: enables setting the ambient
luminosity sensor. When the sensor is enabled, a new tab for its configuration
is shown. See section 2.1.5 for details.
Proximity Sensor [disabled/enabled]: enables the proximity sensor. This
functionality permits “waking up” the device when detecting presence, see
section 2.1.6.
Time to Consider Inactivity [1…30…255][s/min/h]: allows setting a time after
which, if no pulsation or proximity detection has occurred, the LEDs turn off (or
acquire the brightness level configured, see section 2.1.3).
Advanced Configuration [disabled/enabled]: enables or disables the
“Advanced” tab in the tree on the left. See section 2.1.7 for details.

2.1.2 TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The internal temperature probe can monitor the ambient temperature of the room, thus
making the device capable of reporting it to the KNX bus and of triggering certain actions
when the temperature reaches specific values.
Please refer to the specific manual “Temperature Probe” (available in the product
section at the Zennio homepage, www.zennio.com) for detailed information about the
functionality and the configuration of the related parameters.
2.1.3 BACKLIGHT
Capacitive touch switches are able to manage the brightness of the LED according to
two operating modes: normal mode and night mode.
Please refer to the specific manual “Brightness” (available in the product section at the
Zennio website, www.zennio.com) for detailed information about the functionality and
the configuration of the related parameters.
2.1.4 SOUNDS

parameters, please refer to the specific manual "Capacitive Touch Switches" available
in the Tecla XL product section at the Zennio homepage, www.zennio.com.
2.1.5 AMBIENT LUMINOSITY SENSOR
Capacitive touch switches incorporate a luminosity sensor to receive and monitor
ambient brightness measurement.
Please refer to the specific manual “Luminosity and Proximity Sensor” (available in
the product section at the Zennio homepage, www.zennio.com) for detailed information
about the functionality and the configuration of the related parameters.
2.1.6 PROXIMITY SENSOR
Please refer to the specific manual “Proximity and Luminosity Sensor” (available in
the product section at the Zennio homepage, www.zennio.com) for detailed information
about the functionality and the configuration of the related parameters.
