◦ Up/Down Counters, up to four Updatable Software All the products of Tense can be updated with new internal Software (firmware). To install new software, just use the latest KNX database from our website. When the version of the KNX product database does not match the one inside the device, then ETS will automatically install the new software into the device.

Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Installation Risk of electrocution Only skilled electricians can carry out installation and commissioning of the device. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and electrocution. Observe the regulations valid in the country of use, as well as the KNX guidelines.

Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Commissioning First, download the appropriate product databases from www.tense.be and import it into the ETS. If you want to avoid a download of the firmware the first time, you can use the firmware version that matches the preprogrammed firmware. You find the version of the preprogrammed software version on the label.
In this page you can set some general settings, e.g. whether a Light or Temperature sensor is attached to the Motivity base electronics. You can also specify the “Read on Init delay time”. The “Read On Init” flag is a communication object flag new for System B devices.

If this Motivity only forwards its motion detection events to another KNX device that decides which action to take, you should set this Motivity into Slave Mode. However, if this device acts as the Master, you can set here which action to perform when motion is detected. Up to 4 different actions can be defined, which can be (de)activated on the fly.

– You can also specify a switch-off delay. This is the time after the last detection that the Motivity will wait to perform the turn off action. It's also possible to make the action depending on a maximum brightness value. When the light level, from the internal or external sensor, is above this threshold, then the motivity will ignore the motion event.

Technical Documentation Ventilation The motivity is able to control ventilation. After a person has entered a room, ventilation can be started, after a certain amount of time has elapsed. The person has to be present for a minimum time, at least 5 seconds. If the minimum presence time is bigger than the delay time, then the delay time will be automatically extended to be equal to the minimum presence time.
Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Sensors To obtain direc feedback about the Motion Detector and Brightness. Motion Detector If you only want to capture the state of the (debounced) Motion Detection sensor (e.g. For Slave – Master setup) then you can use the “Detector Status” object.
Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Brightness Sensor To get information about the measured light intensity, you can query the brightness sensor. Due to tolerances in the brightness sensor electronics, it might be necessary to correct the measured value. If you want to switch on a certain brightness level (e.g for determing the difference between day/night), you can use the Threshold value switch communication object.
Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Temperature All temperatures are in °C. Internal Sensor The Intensity contains an internal Temperature sensor which is sampled every 5 seconds. It measures temperatures from -40 °C to 125 °C. By using the parameter Temperature Correction you can correct the measured value when necessary. The temperature value can be send onto the bus after a cyclical time or when the new measured value differs too much from a previous value.

Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Thermostat You can use a built-in thermostat to control the climate of your room. Heating, Cooling, Heating + Cooling with manual or automatic switch is supported. If a wait time is specified, then the thermostat will wait that period after a switch occurred before controlling the heating/cooling.

Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Feedback about the current mode can be obtained through the mode feedback status objects or through the HVAC status object (DPT_HVACStatus). Status and Errors Through the RHCC Status Feedback object (DPT 22.101) you can track the status of the thermostat.

Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Scene Module The scene module is a matrix of 8 actuator groups, with 8 scenes that optionally have a value for every actuator. If you want an actuator not to change with a scene, you can specify not to use this value for this scene.

Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Timer A Timer object can be used to start an action after another one has occurred, with a delay time. It is also possible to send out a value cyclically. In the latter case, a value will be sent each time the timer expires, as long as the input Activation Object is 1.

Motivity v1.3 Technical Documentation Logic Module Up to 5 logic channels can be defined. Each channel has up to 5 logic inputs , which can be inverted individually. You can use those to make an AND/OR comparison. The result of the function will be set onto the KNX bus, depending on the chosen setting: 1.
