Special Functions 

The Function Button activates MECps640´s special functions. Manual Function and Factory 
Reset can be activated. Device settings of MECps640 can be reset to manufacturer default 
values with the Factory Reset function. The status of an active special function is indicated by 
the LED display (see chapter

Manual Function 

During normal 

operation a rather short press (≈ 3 sec) activates and deactivates the Manual 

Function. LED 5 and LED 6 show the current filtering states. 

When the Manual Function is active, either all Physical Telegrams or all Group Telegrams or 
both pass the MECps640 without filtering. After the Switch-off time period has elapsed, 
MECps640 automatically switches back to normal operation. To configure the Manual 
Function and set the Switch-off time use the General parameter tab like shown in chapters 

3.1

 and 

4.1

. After switching back from Manual Function to normal operation the latest 

downloaded parameter setting / filter table entries are active again. 

2.5.2

 

KNX Bus Reset 

To reset the secondary KNX bus line (Subline), pressing 3x the Function Button (shortly and in 
a row) activates the KNX Bus Reset function.  

During the bus reset, the device disconnects the entire bus line from the supplying output 
and induces a short circuit for some seconds. LED 1 (State 1) and LED 2 (State 2) light up red 
and go off after the reset process is accomplished. Other LEDs are off. The devices connected 
to the subline restart during the reset process.
