Operation
- The operation of functions or electrical consumers can be set individual for each device:
| Operating concept | Single-area operation | Dual-area operation |
| Rocker function | – | Each rocker can perform an indi- vidual function. |
| Button function | Two push-buttons above one an- other perform the same function. | Each button can perform an indi- vidual function. |
Operating concept
- The operating concept can be configured in the ETS either as a rocker function or al-ternatively as a button function. With the rocker function, two buttons lying one above the other are combined into one rocker.
- In the button function, each button is evalu-ated as single-area operation.


Examples for operating various standard applications

Insert-cover alignment
- The device combination of insert and cover carries out an automatic insert-cover alignment as soon as a cover is placed on an insert and the mains voltage is switched on.
- Case 1: Insert and cover are brand new
- After the insert-cover alignment, the device combination is functional in a standard configuration.
- Case 2: Insert is brand new and cover was already in operation
- After the insert-cover alignment, the device combination is functional in a standard configuration.
- Case 3: Insert was already in operation and cover is brand new
- After the insert-cover alignment, the device combination is functional in a standard configuration.
- Case 4: Insert and cover were already in operation in combination
- After the insert-cover alignment, the device combination is functional. The device combination performs its function according to its last configuration.
- Case 5: Insert and cover were already in operation separately from one another.
- After the insert-cover alignment, the device combination is not functional. The insert-cover alignment identifies this case as a swapping of the covers, for example after renovating a room. The insert-cover alignment reports an error via the status LED.
- This device combination becomes functional again after programming with the ETS, a master reset or resetting to factory settings.
- Case 6: Insert is not supported by the cover
- The insert-cover alignment reports an error via the status LED if the cover has been placed on an insert not supported by the cover. The device combination is not func-tional.
Error message
- The error reported by the insert-cover alignment is indicated by the status LED for 60 seconds. Within these 60 seconds, the status LED flashes 3 times in pulses.
- After an error has been detected during insert-cover alignment, the new assignment of a device combination of insert and cover is only possible via the ETS. The device combination remains without function until a new ETS is commissioned.
- The 60-second signalling of the error is restarted each time the button is actu-ated.
- The 2-gang device variant indicates the error message via the left status LED. A firmware update is also possible in the event of an error.
As-delivered state
- The device combination of insert and cover functions in the delivery state after suc-cessful insert-cover alignment. The cover is for local use in a standard configuration.
- The device combination does not transmit RF telegrams.
- The ETS can reset the device to the delivery state with the “Unload device” command.
Status LED in the delivery state
- The status LEDs perform the “Actuation indicator” function in the delivery state. Each push-button or rocker actuation causes the associated green status LED to illuminate for 3 seconds.
Information for electrically skilled persons
Mounting and electrical connection
- DANGER!
- Mortal danger of electric shock.
- Disconnect the device. Cover up live parts.
Mounting and connecting the device
- In secure operation (prerequisites):
- Secure commissioning has been activated in the ETS.
- Device certificate entered/scanned or added to the ETS project. A high resolu-tion camera should be used to scan the QR code.
- Document all passwords and keep them safe.
- The insert must be disconnected from the power supply before plugging in or unplugging the RF operating top unit.
- Switching, dimming, Venetian blind or room temperature controller insert or 3-wire extension are mounted and connected properly (see instructions of the relevant in-serts).
- The mains voltage has been switched off.
- Fit the cover with frame on the insert (see figure 1).
- Switch on mains voltage.
- In secure operation: The device certificate must be removed from the device and stored securely.
- The device can be commissioned and is ready for operation.
- If the status LED flashes red three times at repeated intervals, the cover was previously connected to another insert. To enable operation again, either place the cover on the associated insert or put the device combination into operation with the ETS.
- When switching to another application, the device should always be reset to the default setting and then reprogrammed.
Commissioning
- Programming the physical address and application program, 1-gang (see figure 5) and 2-gang (see figure 6)
- Project design and commissioning with ETS from version 5.7.5 and above.
- The RF operating top unit works with the RF/TP media coupler (order no. 5110 00) from index I01. An update file for older RF/TP media couplers can be found on our website.

- Precondition: The device is connected and ready for operation.
- Activate programming mode: Press the top right button and bottom right button simultaneously and hold for longer than 4 seconds with 1-gang (see figure 5) and 2-gang (see figure 6).
- The Status LED flashes red. Programming mode is activated.
- When the programming mode is activated, telegrams can be sent to the bus.
- Programming the physical address.
The status LED returns to its previous state. Physical address is programmed. - Prerequisite for the “Dimming” function: Load is connected to the insert.
- Programming the application program.
- The status LED is switched off while the application program is programmed. As soon as the programming is successfully completed, the status LED carries out its parameterised function.
- Relevant for “dimming” and for devices of device generation I00 and I01 (no longer relevant from device generation I02): The load must be connected be-fore ETS commissioning. Without a connected load, the ETS aborts the pro-gramming process of the application program.
- When the application program is unloaded, the status LEDs behave as in the delivery state.
Safe-state mode and master reset
- Safe-state mode
- The safe-state mode stops the execution of the loaded application program.
- If the device does not work properly – for instance as a result of errors in the project design or during commissioning – the execution of the loaded application program can be halted by activating the safe-state mode.
- The device remains passive in safe-state mode, since the application program is not being executed (state of execution: terminated).
- Only the system software of the device is still functional. ETS diagnosis func-tions and programming of the device are possible.
Activating safe-state mode
- Switch off the voltage.
- Wait approx. 15 s.
- Press the top right and bottom right button.
- With the buttons pressed, switch the voltage back on and keep the buttons pressed for more than 10 seconds.
- Safe-state mode is activated. The status LED flashes red slowly (approx. 1 Hz).
- Only release the top right and bottom right buttons when the LED flashes.
Deactivating safe-state mode
- Switch off the voltage (wait approx. 15 s) or carry out ETS programming.
Master reset
- The master reset restores the basic device settings (physical address 15.15.255, firmware remains in place). The device must then be recommissioned with the ETS.
- In secure operation: A master reset deactivates device security. The device can then be recommissioned with the device certificate.
- Devices can be reset to factory settings with the ETS Service App. This func-tion uses the firmware contained in the device that was active at the time of delivery (delivery state).
- Restoring the factory settings causes the devices to lose their physical address and configuration.
- If the device – for instance as a result of errors in the project design or during com-missioning – does not work properly, the loaded application program can be deleted from the device by performing a master reset.
- The master reset resets the device to delivery state. Afterwards, the device can be put into operation again by program-ming the physical address and application program.
Performing a master reset
- Precondition: The safe-state mode is activated.
- Press and hold down the top right and bottom right button for more than 5 seconds until the status LED flashes.
- Release the top right button and bottom right button.
- The device performs a master reset. The status LED flashes quickly (approx. 4 Hz).
- The device restarts and is in delivery state.
