The binary inputs serve as interface for operating free@home systems via conven- tional push-buttons or for coupling message contacts. Version BI-F-2.0.1 and BI-F-4.0.1 are intended for flush-mounting. Version BI-M-4.0.1 is a rail mounting device for installing in the distributor. The integrated bus coupler makes possible the connection to the free@home bus.
