RF Adapter PlugsIntroduction • Features of RF adapter plugs: • Radio frequency 868 MHz • No continuous transmitters since duty cycle must be <1% • KNX standard • RF adapter plugs communicate based on the open KNX standard (KNX RF) • Bidirectional system • Devices are capable of receiving and sending telegrams • Range • 100 m in the open field, about 30 m in buildings (depending on the buildings‘ type of construction) • Commissioning • No extra tool required for commissioning (pushbutton mode)
RF Adapter Plugs Introduction • Types of plug • RF adapter plugs are available in 2 different versions: • Switching • Dimming • each being available in 4 different types.
RF Adapter Plugs Fundamentals • Control • RF adapter plugs can be controlled via the: • Central apartment unit QAX910 • Manual transmitter S425 from GAMMA wave • Switching actuators from GAMMA wave
RF Adapter Plugs Fundamentals • RF adapter plugs, switching • This type of RF adapter plug is used for remote control of electrical equipment such as household appliances, lighting, etc., connected to power outlets and operating in “All-or-Nothing“ mode. • Electrical loads with rated currents up to 10 A can be switched. • The following types of loads can be covered: • Incandescent lamps AC 230 V 2,300 W • Halogen lamps AC 230 V 2,300 W • Low-voltage halogen lamps • via ferromagnetic transformers DC 12 / 24 V 1,600 W • Low-voltage halogen lamps • via electronic transformers DC 12 / 24 V 1,200 W • Fluorescent lamps max. 120 μF 28 x 36 W

RF Adapter Plugs Fundamentals • RF adapter plugs, dimming • This type of adapter plug is used for remote control of lamps connected to power outlets and operating in dimming mode. • The following types of loads can be covered: • Incandescent lamps AC 230 V 20…300 W • Halogen lamps AC 230 V 20…300 W • Low-voltage halogen lamps • via ferromagnetic transformers DC 12 / 24 V 20…200 VA • Low-voltage halogen lamps • via electronic transformers DC 12 / 24 V 20…200 VA

RF Adapter Plugs Basic Configuration When commissioning a system, proceed as follows: • Make the basic configuration on the central apartment unit. • Connect RF adapter plug (KNX RF). • Set the switching group parameters.
RF Adapter Plugs Basic Configuration • Switching groups • Commissioning > Basic configuration > Switching groups > Switching group x > . . . • Enter the switching group‘s name • Function (switching or dimming) Name of the switching group Enter the name of the device on the central apartment unit, e.g. “Coffee machine“. Quit the menu by pressing Esc, then press ok to confirm the entry. • FunctionsThe following functions are available: • Switching (KRF960) • Dimming (KRF961) • Scene (KRF960 and KRF961)
RF Adapter Plugs RF Link Analogous to the switching groups activated and defined in the basic configuration, the respective function groups appear on menu RF connections. The relevant devices can now be assigned to the activated function groups: Commissioning > RF connections > Swtching groups > Switching group x > . . . Note: Switching groups do not support anydevice list because when connecting actuators to switching groups, the connecting information need only be stored in the actuators.
RF Adapter Plugs RF Link Press the function button on the partner device until the function LED starts blinking. After releasing the function button on the partner device, the binding process with the central apartment unit is started. The central apartment unit displays “Process running“. When the binding process is completed, a single bleep can be heard and message “Process finished“ appears on the display. Function button
RF Adapter Plugs RF Link • Disconnecting a device • Cutting a connection to the central apartment unit is analogous to connecting. • Commissioning > RF connections > Switching groups > Switching group x > Disconnect device • Another kind of disconnection is possible too: • Reset the RF adapter plug to its default state as supplied • (Caution: This should be made in exceptional cases only!) • To reset an RF adapter plug to its default state, • press the function button for >20 s => LED flashes.

RF Adapter Plugs Exercises Switching group 1. Integrate the RF adapter plug into the plant in a way that when pressing the universal button on the central apartment unit, the adapter plug will switch / dim the connected load. 2. When leaving the apartment / house, the RF adapter plug shall disconnect the consumer.
