1 Safety instructions
To avoid potential damage, read and follow the following instructions:

Electrical devices may be mounted and connected only by electrically skilled persons.
Danger of electric shock. During installation and cable routing, comply with the regulations and standards which apply for SELV circuits.
This manual is an integral part of the product, and must remain with the customer.
2 System information
This device is a product of the KNX system and complies with the KNX directives. Detailed technical knowledge obtained in KNX training courses is a prerequisite to proper understanding.
The function of this device depends upon the software. Detailed information on loadable software and attainable functionality as well as the software itself can be obtained from the manufacturer's product database.
The device can be updated. Firmware can be easily updated with the STEINEL KNX Service App (additional software).
The device is KNX Data Secure capable. KNX Data Secure offers protection against manipulation in building automation and can be configured in the ETS project. Detailed technical knowledge is required. A device certificate, which is attached to the device, is required for safe commissioning. During mounting, the device certificate must be removed from the device and stored securely.
Planning, installation and commissioning of the device is carried out using ETS version 5.7.7. or higher in the case of use as a backbone coupler, line coupler or amplifier or 6.1.1 in the case of use as a backbone coupler, line coupler, segment coupler or secure proxy.

6 Area of use
6.1 Backbone coupler and line coupler

Figure 2: Use as a backbone and line coupler
Backbone coupler (BK): The physical address is the address of a backbone coupler X.0.0 and must match the logical topology of the KNX system.
Connection of a main line (HL) with a backbone line (BL). Alternatively with or without filter function. The coupler is logically assigned to the subordinate line. Observe the instructions in the technical documentation regarding the address.
Line coupler (LK): The physical address is the address of a line coupler X.Y.0 and must match the logical topology of the KNX system.
Connection of a line with a main line (HL). Alternatively with or without filter function.
The coupler is logically assigned to the subordinate line. Observe the instructions in the technical documentation regarding the address.
BK = Backbone coupler
LK = Line coupler
TLN = Bus device
SV = KNX power supply
DR = Choke
Each line segment requires a separate power supply (SV) including choke (DR).
6.2 Segment coupler and amplifier

Figure 3: Use as a segment coupler and amplifier
Segment coupler (SK): The physical address is the address of a normal KNX participant X.Y.Z (Z 0) and must match the logical topology of the KNX system.
Division of a line (max. 256 participants) into independent line segments. Alternatively with or without filter function. The segment coupler is logically assigned to the subordinate line segment. Observe the instructions in the technical documentation regarding the address.
Amplifier (LV): The physical address is the address of a normal KNX participant X.Y.Z (Z 0) and must match the logical topology of the KNX system.
Division of a line (max. 256 participants) into independent line segments. Preparation and repetition of telegrams on a line, no filter function. Observe the instructions in the technical documentation regarding the address.
SK = Segment coupler
LV = Amplifier
TLN = Bus device
SV = KNX power supply
DR = Choke
Each line segment requires a separate power supply (SV) including choke (DR).

8 Information for electrically skilled persons

DANGER!
Electric shock when live parts are touched.
Electric shocks can be fatal.
Cover up live parts in the installation environment.
8.1 Mounting and electrical connection
Secure operation
- Secure commissioning in the ETS is activated.
- Remove the device certificate from the device and store it securely.
-
Enter or scan the device certificate and add it to the project. Recommendation: Use a high resolution camera to scan the QR code.
-
Document all passwords and keep them safe.
Mounting and connecting the device
- Observe cable routing and spacing
- Mount device on DIN rail.
- Connect bus lines to KNX device connection terminals (see figure 1) observing the correct polarity.
- Connect the higher-order line to the lower device connection terminal (10). Power is supplied to the device via this terminal.
- Connect the subordinate line to the upper device connection terminal (1).
- Attach the cover caps to the KNX connections as protection against hazardous voltages.
The subordinate line requires a separate power supply.
8.2 Commissioning
Programming the physical address and application programme with ETS
- Switch on the bus voltage.
Press the programming button (9) PROG.. The programming LED (8) lights up. - Programming the physical address. The programming LED goes out.
■ Program the application programme and filter table.
8.2.1 Safe-state mode and master reset
Activating safe-state mode
The safe-state mode stops the execution of the loaded application program.
1 Only the system software of the device is still functional. ETS diagnosis functions and programming of the device are possible. No telegrams are transmitted.
- Switch off the bus voltage or remove the KNX device connection terminal (10) of the higher-order line.
- Press and hold down the programming button for approx. 15 seconds.
- Switch on the bus voltage or attach the KNX device connection terminal. Release the programming button only after the programming LED starts flashing slowly.
The safe-state mode is activated.
By briefly pressing the programming button again, the programming mode can also be switched on and off in the safe-state mode. If the programming mode is active, the programming LED stops flashing.
Deactivating safe-state mode
- Switch off the bus voltage for approx. 15 seconds or trigger a restart via the ETS.
Master reset
The master reset restores the basic device settings (physical address 15.15.0, 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.
Performing a master reset
Precondition: The safe-state mode is activated.
- Press and hold down the programming button for >5 s. The programming LED flashes quickly.
- Release the programming button.
The device performs a master reset, restarts and is ready for operation again after approx. 5 s.
Restoring the device to factory settings
The device can be reset to factory settings with the STEINEL KNX Service App. This function uses the firmware contained in the device that was active at the time of delivery (delivered state). Restoring the factory settings causes the device to lose its physical address and configuration.
