Technical Manual Switch Actuators AKI/AKS/AKK 2.3 Structure & Handling The switch actuators (here: AKI 1216.01) contain of one status LED per channel. This LED indicates the state of the depending output. Furthermore every output can be switched manual, independent of the current parameterization. The lines AKS and AKI have buttons for every channel. In contrast the line of the AKK has only four buttons, independent to the number of channels. Two buttons are for choosing the channel, whereby the chosen channel is indicated by a flashing status LED. The buttons up and down are for switching the channel on and off. The programming button activates the programming function. An activated programing function is indicated by a lit programming LED. Illustration 4: Overview hardware module switch actuator (e.g. AKK‐1610.01) The lines AKS and AKI have bistable relays. The line AKK has monostable relays. At the bistable relays the current switching state also stays in case of a breakdown of the 230V auxiliary voltage and at an update of the parameterization. The monostable relays fall back to their output state when the power breaks down or the parameterization is updated.

For the “Behavior when locked”, the action on was parameterized and for the “Behavior when unlocked” the action off was parameterized: The KNX telegram shows which values are send to the blocking object. By sending a logical “1”, the blocking function is activated and the channel is switched on. The blocking function is deactivated again by sending a logical “0”. So the channel is switched off.

The channel can be switched off or on, but also stay in its current state by choosing the parameter “no change”. To avoid problems in case of a bus power breakdown, you should adjust this parameter very conscientious. Because there is no controlling possible as long as the bus power is down.

Technical Manual Switch Actuators AKI/AKS/AKK 4.4.2 On/Off delay The following illustration shows the setting options at the ETS‐Software: Illustration 13: On/Off delay The on‐delay causes a delayed switch of the channel. At sending an on‐signal to the channel, first the adjusted on delay time expires and afterwards the channel will be switched on. The off delay works on the same principle. At sending an off‐signal, first the adjusted off delay time expires and afterwards the channel will be switched off. Both functions work as well alone as combined. By adjusting “0 seconds” for a delay the function is switched off. The following diagram describes the combination of on and off delay: MDT technologies GmbH • 51766 Engelskirchen • Papiermühle 1 Tel.: +49-2263-880 • Fax: +49-2263-4588 • knx@mdt.de • www.mdt.de...
Illustration 15: Scene function The following chart shows the relevant communication object: Number Name Length Usage 4 Scene 1 Byte Call of the scene Chart 17: Communication object scene For calling a certain scene, you have to send the value for the scene to the communication object. The value of the scene number is always one number less than the adjusted scene number. For calling scene 1, you have to send a “0”. So the scene numbers have the numbers from 1 to 64, but the values for the scenes only from 0 to 63. If you want to call scenes by a binary input or another KNX device, you have to set the same number at the calling device as at the receiving device. The calling device, e.g. a binary input, sends automatically the right value for calling the scene.

To note at the scene programming is that if you want to call 2 or more channels with the same scene number, you have to set the both communication objects for the scenes to the same group address. By sending the calling value, both scenes are called. Your programming can become much clearer if you divide your group addresses by scene numbers. If now one channel shall react to 8 scenes, you will have to connect the communication object for the scenes to 8 group addresses. The following illustrations shall make the division clearly: Illustration 17: Programming of scenes The channels A and D shall react to the call of scene A and scene B. So they are connected to both group addresses. Furthermore you can save scenes at the according scene numbers. For that you have to activate the memory function at a channel of the switch actuator. Now you can call scenes by a binary input with a short keystroke and save scenes by a long keystroke. The adjusted value for the scene is overwritten by the current state of the actuator, when you save the scenes. At the next call of the scene, the scene will be called with the new value.

Illustration 19: Staircase time The staircase function is activated by choosing a channel as staircase. This function enables an automatic turn off of the channel after an adjusted time, called “time for staircase”. The time for staircase can be parameterized freely. By sending an “on‐signal” at the communication object, the channel is switched on and the time runs out. After the time is ran out, the channel is switched off automatically. There are a lot of further functions to adjust the staircase function. These functions are described at the following segments. The following chart shows the relevant communication object: Number Name Length Usage 1 Staircase 1 Bit Calling of the staircase function Chart 21: Communication object staircase MDT technologies GmbH • 51766 Engelskirchen • Papiermühle 1 Tel.: +49-2263-880 • Fax: +49-2263-4588 • knx@mdt.de • www.mdt.de...
Technical Manual Switch Actuators AKI/AKS/AKK 4.5.3 Prewarning und Warning The following illustration shows the setting options at the ETS‐Software: Illustration 20: Warning timer & prewarning time The warning function can be activated by adjusting the parameter “Prewarning” as active. Now, you can adjust warning time and prewarning time. The warning function is for warning that the staircase time ran almost out and the lights are switched off soon. This warning happens trough a short turn off the lights. The duration of the turn off is indicated by the warning time. A value of 1‐3s is advisable for this parameter. When the warning time runs out, the lights will be switched on again for the adjusted prewarning time. Now you have the opportunities to extend the staircase time, when this parameter was activated, or leave the staircase. A dynamic programming is advisable for this time. So you can adapt this time to spatial conditions (next switch, length of the staircase, etc.). The whole duration of the switching process is the sum of the 3 times. The following diagram shall make this clear: MDT technologies GmbH • 51766 Engelskirchen • Papiermühle 1 Tel.: +49-2263-880 • Fax: +49-2263-4588 • knx@mdt.de • www.mdt.de...
The following illustration shows the setting options at the ETS‐Software: Illustration 21: Manual switch off By activation this function, you can switch the channel off before the staircase time runs out. For switching off the channel, you have to send a logical “0” to the communication object for switching the staircase function (have a look at chart 20, page 27). When this function is not activated, the channel switches only off after the staircase time runs out. 4.5.5 Extend staircase time The following illustration shows the setting options at the ETS‐Software: Illustration 22: Extend staircase time By activating this function, the staircase time is retriggerable. That means, when the staircase time runs already out to 2/3, you can restart the time by sending a new on‐signal to the communication object of the staircase function (have a look at chart 20, page 27). The following diagram shows the behavior of this parameter: MDT technologies GmbH • 51766 Engelskirchen • Papiermühle 1 Tel.: +49-2263-880 • Fax: +49-2263-4588 • knx@mdt.de • www.mdt.de...
