Basic Display - Gira 5142 00 Product Documentation

Installation, electrical connection and operation
single-surface operation (only one large button).
If a control surface is used as a single rocker function, then it is also possible to trigger special
functions using full-surface operation.
The push button sensor 3 plus has two status LEDs per operating area. These status LEDs can
either be switched on or off permanently, or can function as a status indicator for a button or
rocker. As an alternative, the LEDs can also be activated via separate communication objects.
The LEDs can either indicate the switching status of an object statically or by flashing, signal
operating states of room temperature controllers, or indicate results of logical value comparison
operations.
The colour of the status LEDs (red, green, blue) can be configured in the ETS either globally or
separately, as required. Optionally a superposed function can be activated via the bus, in which
the colour and display information of individual status LEDs can be changed according to
priority.
The labelling field of the push button sensor can signal the switching state of its own object,
flash or be permanently on or off, or can serve as an orientation light if necessary. If no
application has been loaded into the push button sensor with the ETS, the illumination flashes
with a frequency of approx. 0.75 Hz to indicate an error.

2.5.1 Basic display

The device's graphics display has 103 x 40 pixels and is equipped with switchable LED
backlighting. The display is subdivided into various display areas, depending on the
configuration in the ETS, the operating state and the specific device functions that are activated.
A general distinction can be made between 1-area and 2-area display. With two display areas
(Figure 6), the upper area of the normal display, also called the status line, shows symbols that
indicate various operating modes of the room temperature controller or the controller extension.
Moreover it is optionally possible to display in the status line the time (left justified) and
additional temperature values of the controller extension (right-justified).
The lower area of the display, also called the menu area, can be used to visualise various
temperature values in a one-line or two-line format. In addition it is possible to display values
that have been received by KNX/EIB via separate communication objects in various data and
depiction formats. Furthermore, display of the time and date from an external KNX/EIB system
clock in the graphics display can optionally be configured.
When only one display area is used (Figure 7), the normal display shows temperature values
and indicates the operating mode of the room temperature controller. This type of display is the
clearest and simplest display function.
The form of the display areas and thus the selection of information shown on the display
depends on the parameter configuration in the ETS. For further information on the display
options in the basic display and about the display configuration, see the chapter "Display" in this
documentation (see page 181).
