Note:

It is not permitted to connect inductive and capacitive loads together at the same output.

However, mixing of loads such as capacitive + resistive loads or inductive + resistive loads is allowed

to connect, but power reduction needs to be considered. It is more advisable to connect the same type

of loads for an output.

The max. load capacity depends on the surge current and power loss of the lamp, these types of

lamp will cause large heating and high surge current in leading edge mode, especially LED lamp, so it

is not recommended to drive LED in leading edge mode, make sure the connected lamp do not trigger

over-load or over-heating protection.

2.2.Operation mode

Dimmer system is dimming in leading or trailing edge.

1.Dimming in leading edge:

Explanation of the dimming system: turn off dimmer in leading edge and turn on in trailing edge. As

shown in the following figure, no voltage input from zero point until dimmer is turned on. It is suitable

for inductive loads.

2.Dimming in trailing edge:

Explanation of the dimming system: turn on dimmer in leading edge and turn off in trailing edge. As

shown in the following figure, dimmer will be turned on the zero-crossing point, during this moment, the

voltage is very low and there is no inrush current to the load. In this way, there is no minimum load

requirement, so that allows for better performance of a single lighting or a very small load and extends

the life of the lamp, as well as reduce the interference to the power grid. It is suitable for resistive or

capacitive loads.

Chapter 5 Parameter setting description in the ETS

5.1.KNX Secure

Dimmer is a KNX device that complies with the KNX secure standard. That is, you can run the

device in data secure mode.

Fig.5.1 (1) "KNX Secure" parameter window

The device with KNX secure will be displayed notes on ETS, as shown as Fig.5.1(1).

If secure commissioning is actived in ETS project, the following information must be considered during

device debugging:

It is essential to assign a project password as soon as a KNX Secure device is imported into a

project. This will protect the project against unauthorized access.

The password must be kept in a safe place – access to the project is not possible without it (not

even the KNX Association or device manufacturer will be able to access it)!

Without the project password, the commissioning key will not be able to be imported.

A commissioning key is required when commissioning a KNX Secure device (first download). This

key (FDSK = Factory Default Setup Key) is included on a sticker on the side of the device, and it must be

imported into the ETS prior to the first download:

On the first download of the device, a window pops up in the ETS to prompt the user to enter the

key, as shown in Fig.5.1 (2) below.

The certificate can also be read from the device using a QR scanner (recommended).

1.1.8 KNX Universal Dimming Actuator,4-Fold

Fig.5.1(2) Add Device Certificate window

Alternatively, the certificates of all Secure devices can be entered in the ETS beforehand.

This is done on the "Security" tab on the project overview page, as shown in Fig.5.1(3) below.

The certificates can be also added to the selected device in the project, as shown in Fig.5.1(4).

Fig.5.1(3) Add Device Certificate

Fig.5.1(4) Add Device Certificate

There is a FDSK sticker on the device, which is used for viewing FDSK number.

Without the FDSK, it will no longer be possible to operate the device in KNX Secure mode

after a reset.

The FDSK is required only for initial commissioning. After entering the initial FDSK, the ETS will
14
 KNX/EIB KNX Universal Dimming Actuator,1/2/4-Fold

assign a new key, as shown in Fig.5.1(5) below.

The FDSK will be required again only if the device was reset to its factory settings (e.g. If the device

is to be used in a different ETS project).

Example:

If this application in the project needs to be tried with another device, it is no longer the original

device. When the application is downloaded to a new device, the following prompt will appear on the

left of Fig.5.1(6), click yes, the Add Device Certificate window will appear, then enter the initial FDSK of

the new device, and you need to reset the device to the factory settings (it is not required if the device is

still factory default; If it has been used, it will be required to reset, otherwise the following error

message will appear on the right of Fig.5.1(6)), and then the device can be successfully downloaded

again.

Whether the device is replaced in the same project, or the device is replaced in a different project,

the processing is similar: Reset the device to the factory settings, then reassign the FDSK.

15
 KNX/EIB KNX Universal Dimming Actuator,1/2/4-Fold

After the device is downloaded successfully, the label Add Device Certificate turns gray, indicating

that the key for this device has been assigned successfully, as shown in Fig.5.1(7) below.

ETS generates and manages keys:

Keys and passwords can be exported as needed to the use of security keys outside of the

associated ETS projects. As shown in Fig.5.1(8) below, the file extension is .knxkeys.

Parameter "Operation and Send delay after bus recovery [0..15]"

This parameter is for setting the delay time to send to bus after the device bus recovery.

Options: 0..15 s

The setting dose not contain the device initialization time, and bus telegrams received during delay

time will be recorded.

Parameter "Send cycle of "In operation" telegram [1..240,0=inactive]"

This parameter is for setting the time interval when cyclically send telegrams through the bus to

indicate this device in normal operation. When set to "0", the object "In operation" will not send a

telegram. If the setting is not "0", the object "In operation" will send a telegram according to the setting

period time with logic "1" to the bus. Options: 0…240 s, 0= inactive

As to reduce the bus load as much as possible, the maximum time interval should be selected

according to actual application requirement.

Parameter “Manual operation”

This parameter is for setting whether to enable manual operation, which is mainly convenient for

engineers to debug or check the lamps, when enabled, you can manually switch and dim each output

channel.
17
 KNX/EIB KNX Universal Dimming Actuator,1/2/4-Fold

The definition of function priority: Manual > Forced > Safety > other functions, after exiting higher

priority, the next priority action needs to be executed. When during manual operation, the telegrams

from bus will be ignored and not executed, but the statuses of low priority (Forced/Safety) will be

recorded in the background, and they will be executed after exiting manual operation.

Manual operation is enabled by default in case of no database; after download, enable manual or

not depends on the parameter.

Theses two parameters as follow are visible when enabled:
