Features at a Glance

Key components: Relay module, Control terminals, Status LED, Manual override button, Communication bus connector.

Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker.

1. Mount the module: Secure in a suitable electrical box or on DIN rail.
2. Connect load wiring: Connect the switched live output to the lighting circuit. Ensure correct cable gauge.
3. Connect control inputs: Wire momentary or maintained switches to the input terminals.
4. Connect bus cable: If using, connect the communication bus cable to the designated terminals.
5. Connect auxiliary power: Supply the required low-voltage power to the module.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

First-Time Configuration

Apply power; the status LED should illuminate.

1. Address assignment: Use the system configuration tool (PC software or handheld) to set the module's unique bus address.
2. Parameter programming: Configure relay behavior (toggle, momentary, dimming control), input types, and timing functions.
3. Test operation: Use the connected switch or the manual button to toggle the relay and control the light.
4. Integrate into scenes: Assign the module to lighting groups or scenes within the automation system.

CAUTION! Do not apply mains voltage to the low-voltage control or bus terminals. Verify parameters before finalizing.

Controls and Settings

Local control via manual button. System control via bus commands.

Manual Button: Press to toggle relay state. LED indicates status (e.g., steady on = relay energized, flashing = programming mode).

Programmable Parameters (via software): Relay type (latching/pulse), input logic (active high/low), reaction to short/long press, local/remote priority, timing functions (on delay, off delay, staircase function), scene membership.

Connecting to Systems

Bus Connection: Use shielded twisted pair cable. Connect polarity correctly (A/B or +/-).

1. Power down the entire system bus before connecting new devices.
2. Connect the bus cable from the previous device or system controller to the module's IN terminals.
3. Connect the bus cable from the module's OUT terminals to the next device, if daisy-chaining.
4. Ensure bus termination is configured correctly at the line ends if required by the system.

Tip: Label all bus cables and device addresses for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.

Operation Modes

Supports various control modes based on configuration.

1. Basic Switching: Toggle light on/off with each button press.
2. Momentary Mode: Light is on only while button is held (configured via software).
3. Dimming Control: If configured with a dimmer actuator, can control light level via long press or scene recall.
4. Timed Operation: Staircase function - light turns on for a set period then automatically off.
5. Scene Control: Recall predefined lighting scenes sent via the bus system.
6. Central Control: Relay can be operated by central commands (All On, All Off, group commands).

WARNING! Do not connect loads exceeding the specified rating. Ensure load type (resistive, inductive) is compatible.

Advanced Features

Logic Functions: Can be programmed with AND/OR logic for multiple input conditions. Telegrams: Sends status feedback telegrams to the bus upon state change. Failure Reporting: Can indicate communication loss or fault conditions via LED pattern.

Care & Maintenance

Disconnect power before any maintenance. Keep the module clean and free from dust. Ensure ventilation is not obstructed.

CAUTION! Do not use compressed air or liquids for cleaning. The module contains electronic components sensitive to static discharge.
