Page 14: Manual Mode
5 Manual Mode 1 channel device The DALI gateway S64 KNX has 9 operating buttons and LEDs on the front side, which offer numerous possibilities for manual control and broadcast and analysis functions. The buttons and LEDs are accessible without having to remove the cover. During KNX bus operation and in the absence of any errors, all 9 LEDs are switched off.
Page 15: Channel Device
During programming (e.g. during installation) all LEDs light up in red and flash slowly. Activate the manual mode with a long keypress on the button in the bottom right-hand corner.
