SMART AUTOMATION BY-ME PLUS
30488 - 01488
Home automation control device with four push buttons and 240 V~ 50/60Hz
phase-cut dimmer, for incandescent lamps 40-200 W, electronic transformers
40-300 VA 240 V~, 20-150 VA 120 V~, CFL lamps 10-200 W 240 V~, 5-100 W 120
V~, LED lamps 3-200 W 240 V~, 3-100 W 120 V~, visible in darkness with RGB
LEDs with intensity adjustment, to be completed with interchangeable half-but-
ton caps comprising 1 or 2 modules Linea, Eikon, Arkè or Plana - 2 modules.
The device controls the load directly. It should be used as a double or single push button
depending on the chosen button; the push buttons can also be configured independently
from the dimmer actuation part and can be pressed either at the top or bottom. For the
Linea, Eikon and Arkè series, all the button covers, whether from the catalogue or custom-
ised, have symbols which can be backlit with customisable RGB colours.
IMPORTANT: Lamps controllable from a single output must all be the same. All con-
trollable loads must be declared DIMMABLE by the manufacturer. Check the type of
compatible dimming on the lamp packaging: LE (Leading Edge) or TE (Trailing Edge).
Where not specified, the lamp works in both modes, at the discretion of the installer;
choose the type of dimming that ensures the best lamp operation.

Plug&Play.
CAUTION: The plug&play mode requires the system to include only plug&play devic-
es and not devices configured in the By-me Plus system.
For operation in Plug&Play mode, only install the 1-module fixed half-button caps on
the device.
In the absence of a configuration, the device is pre-configured as follows:
- briefly press B to turn on the load;
- press B for a prolonged time to make the upwards adjustment (increase);
- briefly press C to turn off the load;
- press C for a prolonged time to make the downwards adjustment (decrease);
- press F to send a "Lights OFF" scenario over the bus;
- press E to send a "Lights OFF and roller shutters DOWN" scenario over the bus.

SETTING THE COLOUR OF THE LEDS.
PLUG&PLAY mode.
• Procedure activation: simultaneously press push buttons E and F for a prolonged time;
the LEDs will all illuminate in the colour currently set.
• Colour selection: briefly press push button E or F to view the next colour.
• Saving the colour and exiting the procedure: press push button F or E for a prolonged
time.
• Exiting the procedure without saving the colour: automatic after a timeout of 5 s.
By-me Plus SYSTEM.
• The colour is set from the App using the respective menus.
LED indications
• The flashing of any of the LEDs of push buttons B and C is an indication of an alarm.
• If both the B and C LEDs are flashing, the electrical power supply output is absent.
• Flashing LED C indicates the device's thermal protection has been triggered.
Check the connections of the corresponding load; also make sure it is not excessive
or unsuitable.
• To silence the alarm, briefly press push button B or C (ON/OFF of the corresponding
dimmer).
If the flashing continues, wait for the protection to cool down and then repeat the
command.
OPERATION.
Home automation device acting as a dimmer actuator.
• Possible functions of the buttons:
- ON/OFF switch
- roller shutter control
- dimmer control
- scenario activation
• Possible functions of the dimmer:
- lights on, lights off and light control
- "flash start" mode for CFL lamps
- "ramp" operation
- off delay and "warning" function
- phase control: LE/TE
• Possible functions of the dimmer with dedicated RGB loads:
- lights on, lights off and light control
- absolute colour change
- fading show operation
CONFIGURATION.
For the configuration operations, see the By-me Plus system manual.
We recommend you configure the device with the load turned off.
Configuration must be done with the device without the button to be able to press the
configuration push button A.
• Functional units: 7 (4 push buttons, 2 rocker buttons and 1 dimmer actuator)
• Functional unit selection during configuration:
- press push button A and wait 3 s to select the dimmer functional unit;
- press push button A again followed by the desired button (B, C, E, F) to select the
related push button or rocker button functional unit.
Configuration begins with the turning on of the red LED D and ends with it being turned off.
INSTALLATION RULES.
• Installation must be carried out by qualified persons in compliance with the current
regulations regarding the installation of electrical equipment in the country where the
products are installed.
• The lamps connected to it must all be the same. White LEDs and RGB LEDs cannot be
controlled simultaneously using the same device.
• Not suitable for controlling motors (e.g. fans, ventilators).
• Never exceed the rated power.
• If installing 2 dimmers in a single box, the controllable loads by each dimmer must be
reduced so that their total does not exceed the maximum power that can be controlled
by a single device.
• Overloads, electric arcs and short-circuits cause irreparable damage to the dimmer.
Before installation check the circuit carefully and eliminate any of the above causes.
• The dimmer does not have a mechanical 1-way switch in the main circuit and so is not
galvanically separated. The circuit load should be considered always powered.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
LV Directive. EMC directive. RoHS directive.
Standards EN IEC 60669-2-1, EN IEC 63044, EN 50491, EN IEC 63000.
