KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL The KNX-BSA12L and KNX-BSA12H are KNX blind/shutter actuators that allow you to control the movement of sun protection products such as horizontal (Venetian) blinds, vertical blinds, roller shutters and awnings. They also enable control of the movement of electrically- operated windows.

KNX bus. Enclosure Electronics of the KNX-BSA12L and KNX-BSA12H modules is installed in enclosures of identical shape and dimensions. The enclosures only differ in their panels for manual control of channel state. The figure shows enclosure dimensions based on the KNX-BSA12L module.
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL To enter the service mode, press and hold the button on the module enclosure for about 5 seconds. The LED next to the button will start flashing. When the service mode is started, the blind/shutter can only be moved by using the buttons located on the enclosure (see p. 3).
4. Connect a computer running ETS program to the KNX bus and configure the module. To configure the module, you will require a computer running the ETS program version 5.5 or newer, provided with USB or Ethernet (TCP/IP) connector. The SATEL ETS application file, which can be downloaded from www.satel.eu/ets, must be imported into the program.
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL parameters, which directly affect operation of the connected blind/shutter. These parameters enable precision control of the selected blind/shutter type and make it possible to define blind/shutter reaction to the functions activated in the module (see “Configuring channels”).
“Channel B” tab. The “Vertical blind” type of blind is only available for the KNX-BSA12L module. The KNX-BSA12H module does not support this type of blinds.
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Description of parameters Wind: control scheme – value of the “Wind alarm” object activating telegram: 0 = reset monitoring time, 1 = alarm. 1 = reset monitoring time, 0 = alarm. Wind: monitoring time – monitoring time of the “Wind alarm” object (0 – 65535 [seconds]).
The figure below shows how to define the position and travel time for roller shutter and Venetian blind. The next figures show how to define the position and travel time for the vertical blind (Fig. 5), awning (Fig. 6) and motorized window (Fig. 7). The “Vertical blind” is only supported by the KNX-BSA12L module.
Page 13
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL The blind/shutter travel time must be measured very carefully. Because of their weight, the roller shutters, vertical blinds or awnings, as well as the motorized windows, move with a different speed when traveling up or down.
Page 14
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Because of their weight, the slats in Venetian blinds move with a different speed, depending whether they are being adjusted up or down. For precise control of slat adjustment, it is recommended that you take a measurement of the time of slat adjustment in both directions, from the upper to the lower end position, and from the lower to the upper end position.
Page 15
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL i.e. when the blind/shutter is fully opened – see Fig. 5). Then, the blind is moved to one of the end positions where the slats are closed (moved to the lower end position). The process of positioning can be interrupted at any moment by turning the motor off.
Page 16
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Automatic after programming and restart – the blind/shutter travel time and slat adjustment time (for slat blinds) will be recognized and saved by the module automatically after being programmed and after each restart. Automatic detection is enabled only by receiving the “Move up/down” telegram or pressing the channel control button on the module enclosure.
Page 17
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL The time necessary to execute a step (blind/shutter movement / slat adjustment) must be longer than the sum of the start delay time and the blind/shutter motor stop time. If the step execution time is shorter than this sum, the module will be unable to correctly control the motor operation and the step will not be executed.
Page 18
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Reaction to KNX bus recovery – allows you to select the position to which the blind/shutter will be set in response to the bus recovery (no reaction / fully opened / fully closed). It defines the value which the “Move up/down” communication object will assume after starting the module (0 = move up, 1 = move down).
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL as a result of which the blind/shutter / slats will be set to absolute positions corresponding to the values saved in these objects. The “Set absolute position percentage” central object sets both blinds/shutters connected to the module to the same absolute position by using one telegram. On the other hand, the “Set absolute position slats percentage”...
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Switch-on delay when down – time that must elapse from the moment of receiving the “START” control signal by the motor to the moment when its rotor reaches the speed enabling the blind/shutter to travel down (50 – 16384 [milliseconds]; default = 100).
Page 21
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Travel time in two directions – defines how the blind travel time will be determined: no – based on the measurement of travel time and slat adjustment in one direction, e.g. from the upper to the lower end position. Default value.
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL 4.3.2 Functions Scene 1-bit For each channel, eight 1-bit scenes (activated by 1-bit telegram) can be defined in the module. The scenes are divided into four pairs 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8. Each pair of scenes activated in the program enables the “Call scene 1-bit (X/Y)” communication object (where: X/Y = 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8).
Page 23
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Description of parameters Number of 1-bit scene pairs – the number of 1-bit scene pairs assigned to the channel (up to 4). For each activated pair, the “Call scene 1-bit (X/Y)” communication object (where: X/Y = 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) is enabled and parameters are displayed which allow you to define blind/shutter reaction to the scene.
Page 24
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Scene 2: initial value – you can select how the initial value is to be set for the scene 2 after starting and restarting the module. The parameter is available, if the “yes” option is selected for the “Learning 1-bit scenes from bus” parameter.
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Scene 1: initial value – you can select how the initial value is to be set for the scene 1 after starting and restarting the module. The parameter is available, if the “yes” option is selected for the “Learning 1-bit scenes from bus” parameter.
Page 26
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Number of scenes – number of scenes assigned to the channel (up to 8). For each activated scene, parameters are displayed which allow you to define for slat-type blind reaction to the scene. Learning scenes from bus – if you select “yes”, the learning function will be enabled for the scenes.
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Scene 1…8: initial value – you can select how the initial value will be set for scenes after starting/restarting the module. The parameter is available, if the “yes” option is selected for the “Learning scenes from bus” parameter.
KNX-BSA12L • KNX-BSA12H SATEL Reaction on rain alarm – position to which the blind/shutter will be set in response to a change of state of the “Rain alarm” communication object (no reaction / fully opened / fully closed / stop).
