Carry out ETS commissioning Switch on the voltage supply of the device. In order to work with the device, the product database must first be imported into the ETS. NOTE ETS from version 5.
LK-RF/KNXs 90407 KNX Programming mode The KNX programming mode is activated/deactivated either by pressing the recessed KNX programming button 1 . When the programming mode is active, the programming LED 2 lights up red. Manual operation and status display The LED Status 4 lights up green when KNX bus voltage is present. This LED flashes red if the application is not running, e.g.
LK-RF/KNXs 90407 6.3.2 Manual operation RF Briefly pressing button B 7 activates manual operation for mode RF. Pressing button A 6 briefly deactivates/activates the forwarding of the group telegrams. This is indicated by LEDs 5 and 6 5. Pressing button B 7 briefly deactivates/activates the forwarding of the physically addressed telegrams, the broadcast telegrams and the system broadcast telegrams.

LK-RF/KNXs 90407 KNX Security The KNX standard was extended by KNX Security to protect KNX installations from unauthorized access. KNX Securi- ty reliably prevents the monitoring of communication as well as the manipulation of the system. The specification for KNX Security distinguishes between KNX IP Security and KNX Data Security. KNX IP Security protects the communication over IP while on KNX TP the communication remains unencrypted.
LK-RF/KNXs 90407 ETS database The ETS database (for ETS 5.7 or newer) can be downloaded from the LK-RF/KNX product website (www.beg-luxomat. com) or via the ETS online catalogue. LK-RF/KNXs supports KNX Data Security to protect the device against unauthorized access from the KNX bus. If the device is programmed via the KNX bus, this is done with encrypted telegrams.
