4 Installation and Commissioning
KNX B4-UP button interface • Status: 24.08.16 • Technical Changes and Errors excepted.
• Ensure that all lines to be assembled are free of voltage and take
precautions against accidental switching on.
• Do not use the device if it is damaged.
• Take the device or system out of service and secure it against
unintentional use, if it can be assumed, that risk-free operation is no
longer guaranteed.
The device is only to be used for its intended purpose. Any improper modification or
failure to follow the operating instructions voids any and all warranty and guarantee
claims.
After unpacking the device, check it immediately for possible mechanical damage. If it
has been damaged in transport, inform the supplier immediately.
The device may only be used as a fixed-site installation; that means only when
assembled and after conclusion of all installation and operational start-up tasks and
only in the surroundings designated for it.
Elsner Elektronik is not liable for any changes in norms and standards which may occur

8 Parameter settings
KNX B4-UP button interface • Status: 24.08.16 • Technical Changes and Errors excepted.
4. Parameter settings
4.1. Behaviour on power failure/ restoration of
power
Behaviour following a failure of the bus power supply:
The device sends nothing.
Behaviour on bus restoration of power and following programming or reset:
The device sends all outputs according to their send behaviour set in the parameters
with the delays established in the "General settings" parameter block.
4.2. General settings
Set the maximum telegram rate.
4.3. Input 1...4
Interface inputs can be configured as switches, drive controller, dimmer, for transmit-
ting values and for scenario recall/storage.
There are blocking objects for all functions, blocking the input at 1 and releasing it at
0. When activating and deactivating the block, a telegram can be sent to the bus in each
instance. There is no cyclic transmission while the block is active.
Maximum telegram rate • 1 telegram per second
• ...
• 5 telegrams per second
• ...
• 20 telegrams per second
Bus function • Switch
• Changeover switch
• Shutter
• Blinds
• Awning
• Window
• Dimmer
• 8-bit encoder
• Temperature encoder
• Brightness encoder
• Scenes

9 Parameter settings
KNX B4-UP button interface • Status: 24.08.16 • Technical Changes and Errors excepted.
Input as switch:
If a button with switch function is assigned to the input, select the bus function
"Switch" and specify which value is sent when pressing/releasing the button and when
it will be sent.
Blocking objects block the input at 1 and release it at 0. When activating and deactivat-
ing the block, a telegram can be sent to the bus in each instance. There is no cyclic
transmission while the block is active.
Input as changeover switch:
If a button with switch function is assigned to the input, select the bus function
"Changeover Switch" and specify if the button should switch when pressed/released.
When activating the block once • send 0
• send 1
• Do not send message
When deactivating the block once • send 0
• send 1
• Do not send message
Function Switch
Command when pressing the button • send 0
• send 1
