Switch operation with switch-off delay 

If a push-button connected to a binary input is to be used for switching staircase lighting, the 
"Staircase lighting sensor" function is to be selected. In the configuration of the associated 
switch actuator (to which the lamps of the staircase are connected), the "Switch-off delay" can 
be configured. The switch-off delay indicates how long a channel of the switch actuator remains 
in the ON state after being switch on. If the staircase lighting has already been switched on by 
the press of a push-button, the switch-off delay can be extended (retriggered) by a renewed 
press of the push-button. 

If several switching channels are to be activated via the binary output, the respective channels 
of the binary input (to which the staircase push-buttons are connected) are to be linked with the 
channels of the switch actuator (to which the staircase lamps are connected). Each channel of a 
switch actuator can be programmed with its own switch-off delay.  

Force-position sensor On/Off 

If several binary inputs are connected to a channel of a switch actuator, this channel can initially 
be operated from all binary inputs. After configuring a channel of the linked binary input with the 
"Force-position sensor ON/OFF" function, the force-position of the sensor for the channel of the 
switch actuator can be activated or deactivated with a press of the push-button of the rocker 
connected to this channel. After the activation the operation of the affected switch actuator 
channel is blocked by all other devices. In the parameter settings of the binary input the forced 
behaviour can be configured, and it can be specified whether the channel of the switch actuator 
concerned is to be switched on (Force-position ON) or off (Force-position OFF). 

Blind force-position 

This function makes possible a forced behaviour of blinds via the blind actuator. The forced 
behaviour can be configured in the parameter settings of the binary input: The associated 
blind(s) (and roller blinds or awnings) can be moved to the top end position (Force-position top) 
or to the bottom end position (Force-position bottom). 

 Movement detectors 

This function is to be selected if a movement detector is connected to a binary input for light 
control. If the binary input is linked with a switch actuator, the duration of the light of the lamps 
connected to the switch actuator can be set via parameter "Switch-off delay" in the parameter 
settings of menu "Allocation" of the System Access Point. The duration of the light extends 
again automatically by the switch-off delay if persons continue to be detected by the movement 
detector. 

Window contact 

The window contact function is to be selected if a window contact is connected to the binary 
input. If the associated channel of the binary input is connected with the room temperature 
controller, the room temperature controller switches to "Frost protection" mode when an open 
window is detected and reduces the set-point temperature for the respective room to 7°C, to 
prevent unnecessary loss of energy.
