Information for electrically skilled persons

Mounting

Mounting the device

DANGER!

Electric shock when live parts are touched.

Electric shocks can be fatal.

Always disconnect before carrying out work on the device or load. For this, switch off all corresponding circuit breakers, secure against being switched on again and check that there is no voltage. Cover up adjacent live parts.

DANGER!

Danger of destruction if several motors are connected in parallel to one output.

Limit switch contacts can weld together and motors, blinds/shutters and the venetian blind actuator can be destroyed.

Observe the manufacturer’s instructions. Use cutoff relay if necessary!

Observe the temperature range. Ensure sufficient cooling.

Mount the device on DIN rail. Output terminals must be at the top.

Connect bus line

Connect bus line with KNX device connection terminal observing the correct polarity (see figure 3), (see figure 4).
Attach the cover cap to the KNX connection as protection against hazardous voltages.

Connecting the device

Image 3: Connection example for DC Venetian blind actuator
Connecting the device

Only for DC motors 12…48 V. Observe the admissible load ratings.

Terminals 1/2 supply power to the device electronics and outputs A1 and A2. For operation of the actuator it is necessary to connect an external 24 V DC power supply to 1/2.

Terminals 3/4 supply power to outputs A3 and A4.

The supply voltages must be designed in such a way that a safe and reliable operating voltage is provided under all load conditions – especially when the motors are first switched on.

Do not connect any AC voltage.

Connect power supply to terminals 1/2 or 3/4 (see figure 3).
Connect motors to load terminals A1 … A4 (see figure 3)

Drives for venting louvers or windows must be connected in such a way that they open in travel direction “UP ” and close in travel direction “DOWN”.

Connecting the device without automatic operation time detection

Image 4: Connection of bus and mains voltage supply

Connect mains voltage supply (see figure 4).
Connecting the motors (see figure 5).
Mark 230 V use on label (see figure 5).

The N conductor connections (14) serve only to detect the operation time and do not provide any N potential.

If motors with high-impedance inputs are connected, then the corresponding N conductor can be connected. The associated output must not be under current for a longer period without interruption due to retriggering. This can lead to impermissible heating of the device. Observe maximum duty cycle (see chapter “Technical data”).

Connecting the device with automatic operation time detection

Image 6b: Motor connection with automatic operation time detection

Not for roller shutter actuator.

When appropriately programmed and wired, the Venetian blind actuator detects the operation time of the individual hangings and saves them. The actuator measures the voltage at the outputs against the connected neutral conductor (14), and uses it to determine the end positions. During operation the Venetian blind actuator adjusts itself to changed operation times, e.g. due to ageing of the motors.

The automatic operation time detection cannot be used for 110 V AC motors, DC motors, motors with electronic limit switches, or for motors that are connected to the outputs using cutoff relays.

Only for 230 V AC motors with mechanical limit switches.

Automatic operation time detection is activated in the application software.

Hangings are not disabled.

Connect mains voltage supply (see figure 4).
Connect only one motor per output.
Connecting the motor (see figure 6).
Connect the N conductor of the corresponding motor to the N conductor terminals (14) (see figure 6). Note RCCB wiring.
Mark 230 V use on label (see figure 6)

The N conductor connections for the individual outputs and mains voltage connection are not connected internally.
If an output is energised without interruption for a prolonged time due to retriggering, the device may heat up excessively. Observe maximum duty cycle (see chapter “Technical data”).
The automatic operation time detection is performed during commissioning and the determined operation time is saved permanently

The Venetian blind drive actuator is programmed as a DC device.

Connect mains voltage supply (see figure 4).
Connect only one motor per output.
Connecting the motors (see figure 7).
Mark 12-48 V use on label (see figure 7).

For DC operation, manual mode for outputs A2, A4… is without function. The status LEDs indicate the relay states.

Commissioning

Measuring the hanging and slat operation time
The blind/shutter travelling time is important for position and scene runs. For slatted Venetian blinds, the slat adjusting time is by design part of the overall blind travelling time. The opening angle of the slats is therefore set as the operation time between the positions “Open” and “Closed”.

The upwards travel generally lasts longer than the downwards travel, and is taken into account as the operation time extension in %.

Measure upwards and downwards operation time of the hanging.
Measure slat adjusting time between “Open” and “Closed”.
Enter the measured values in the parameter setting – Downwards travel in seconds and operation time extension in percent.

In the case of automatic operation time detection, no measurement of the hanging operation times is performed.

Automatic measurement of the slat adjusting time is not possible.

Load the address and the application software

Switch on the bus voltage.
Assign physical address.
Load the application software into the device.
Note the physical address on the device label.

Performing a reference movement
The Venetian blind drive actuator can only move to scenes and directly called positions if it has saved the positions of the hangings. To do this, each output has to perform a reference run.

Move hangings to the upper end position.
Wait until the output relay and the limit switch have switched off.

The venetian blind actuator does not save the hangings position permanently.
After a power failure and restoration it carries out another reference run.

Without a reference run, the Venetian blind actuator generates an internal “Invalid position” message for each output that can be read out.

Automatic operation time detection: save operation times

Not for roller shutter actuator.
Only for 230 V motors.

When operation time detection is activated, the device can only set positions and scenes when it has saved the operation times. The operation times must be saved during interference-free conditions, i.e. no additional operations, no wind, no snow, no obstructions.

Automatic operation time detection is activated in the application software.

The associated N conductors are connected for the outputs in question (see figure 6).

Teaching runs must be performed only in manual mode or using commissioning software.

Move hangings to the upper end position (see chapter “Perform reference run”).

Upper end position has been reached:

Move hangings to lower end position in manual mode.
Move hangings to upper end position in manual mode. Operation times have been saved.

The Venetian blind actuator saves the operation times permanently.

Without saved operation times the Venetian blind actuator generates an internal “Invalid position” message for each output that can be read out.

During operation the Venetian blind actuator adjusts itself to changed blind travelling times, e.g. caused by ageing of the motors. The slat operation time is taken into account here. The changed times are only saved permanently in continuous manual mode.

Troubleshooting

Manual control with button field not possible

Cause 1: Manual control has not been programmed. Program manual control.
Cause 2: Manual control via bus disabled. Enable manual control.

Output cannot be operated

Cause 1: Manual control has not been programmed. Reprogram device.
Cause 2: Manual control via bus disabled. Enable manual control.

None of the outputs can be operated

Cause 1: All of the outputs are disabled. Cancel disabling.
Cause 2: Manual mode active. Deactivate manual mode (switch off continuous manual mode).
Cause 3: Application software missing or faulty. Check programming and correct.
Cause 4: Application software has been stopped, programming LED is flashing. Disconnect device from the bus and mains, switch on again after 10 seconds.

Position- and scene runs are not executed or executed improperly

Cause 1: Sun protection, safety function or manual mode is activated. As long as higher-order functions are active, no position or scene runs are possible.
Cause 2: No operation time saved. Save operation times (see chapter “Automatic operation time detection: save operation times”).

Without saved operation times the venetian blind actuator moves the hangings upwards or downwards for position and scene runs – depending on whether the hangings are in the upper or lower half.

Cause 3: Automatic operation time detection is activated and N conductor is not connected.

Correct electrical connection. – or – Deactivate automatic operation time detection.

Cause 4: Automatic operation time detection is activated, but the switching voltage is < 230 V or motors with electronic limit switches are being used.
Deactivate automatic operation time detection.
Correct electrical connection and remove N conductor.

Hanging does not move to end position, position and scene runs faulty
Cause: Blind/shutter travelling time has been set incorrectly. Correct blind/shutter travelling time.
