KNX Data Secure devices are protected against unauthorized access. In the ETS Catalog, the KNX Secure products can be clearly recognized by the Secure icon: KAA-8R-10S Universal Actuator, 8-fold, 10A, MDRC KAA-8R-S Universal Actuator, 8-fold, 16A, MDRC As soon as a "KNX-Secure" device is included in the project, the ETS requests a project password. If no password is entered, the device is without activation of secure mode.
To start up the device without KNX Data Secure, select the device in the 'Topology' or 'Devices' section and then set the 'Secure start up' option in the 'Properties' area of the 'Settings' tab to 'Disabled'. 2.3 Products That Support KNX Data Secure ‧KAA-8R-S ‧KAA-8R-10S 3.Communication Objects 3.1 Global communication objects...

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.

6.2 Shutter There are also a wide range of opportunities to parameterize the channel at shutter function. The shutter function and the blind function are almost identical, but there are no options to parameterize or move the slats at the blind function. As soon as the channel is selected as shutter appears standardly three communications objects.

6.3.3 Step time for slats adjustment →only at blinds You can adjust in which steps the slats shall be shifted with the setting “step time for slats”. The opening angle can adjust thereby in small steps to prevent e.g. a glare of the sun after a changing of the solar altitude or tighten sunblind. Additional, it is possible to adjust the step range in a way so that the slats drive from one final position to the other in a specific number of steps.

The parameter "Block absolute position " allows to block the absolute position commands at each channel as well as central. If the corresponding communication object "Block absolute position" is activated by sending a "1", the channel no longer reacts to absolute position commands.
