Clarification of signs Installation, inspection, commissioning and troubleshooting of the device must only be carried out by a competent electrician. This manual is amended periodically and will be brought into line with new software releases. The change status (software version and date) can be found in the contents footer. If you have a device with a later software version, please check www.elsner-elektronik.de in the menu area "Service"...
Description Description The Interface KNX B8-TH has eight binary inputs and two additional sensor inputs for temperature or temperature and air humidity. They are used to integrate signals and values from conventional buttons and sensors into the KNX building bus.
There are unprotected live components inside the device. • National legal regulations are to be followed. • Ensure that all lines to be assembled are free of voltage and take precautions against accidental switching on. Interface KNX B8-TH • Version: 24.08.2016 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
Avoid condensation. 2.3. Connection The Interface KNX B8-TH is connected to the KNX data bus with a KNX connection terminal. The physical address is assigned by the KNX software. There is a button with a control LED for this on the device.
The device is supplied with the bus address 15.15.250. You can program another ad- dress into the ETS by overwriting the 15.15.250 address or by teaching via the pro- gramming key. Interface KNX B8-TH • Version: 24.08.2016 • Technical changes and errors excepted.

When using the control variable for a 4/6 way valve, the following applies: 0%...100% heating = 66%...100% control variable OFF = 50% control variable 0%...100% cooling = 33%...0% control variable Interface KNX B8-TH • Version: 24.08.2016 • Technical changes and errors excepted.
On release, the control variable follows the rule again. When blocked, the control variable shall • not be sent • send a specific value Value (in %) 0...100 (if a value is sent) Interface KNX B8-TH • Version: 24.08.2016 • Technical changes and errors excepted.

The Interface KNX B8-TH can send a message to the bus if the limits of the comfort field are exceeded. In this way, it is for example possible to monitor compliance with DIN 1946 (standard values) or even to define your own comfort field.
