Product Description
The Actuator KNX S-B4T-UP controls shadings (blinds, awnings, roller shutters) or
windows. The automatic for this may be provided externally or internally. An internal
automatic offers numerous options for blocking, locking (e. g. master–slave) and priority
settings (e. g. manual–automatic). Scenes may be stored and recalled via the bus.
Four binary inputs may be used for direct operation (e. g. manual push-buttons) or as
bus inputs. There is an additional input for a temperature sensor.
Functions:
• For drive mechanism of shading or window
• 4 binary inputs
• 1 temperature sensor input
• 8 channel scene control for operating position (for blinds also slat position)
• Slat tracking for blinds according to the position of the sun
• Position memory (operating position) with a 1 bit object (Storage and recall e. g.
with push-button)
• Position feedback (operating position, for blinds also slat position)
• Control by internal or external automatic
• Setting of the priority of manual or automatic control by time or via
communication object
• Mutual locking of two drives by means of zero position sensors avoids collisions
e. g. of shading and window (master–slave)
• Blocking objects and alarm messages have different priority so that safety
functions always are higher-ranking (e. g. wind blocking)
Configuration is accomplished by means of the KNX software ETS. The programme
file (format VD2) is ready for download on the Elsner Elektronik website under
www.elsner-elektronik.de in the menu "Service".

Installation and Commissioning
Installation, inspection, commissioning and troubleshooting
of the actuators must only be carried out by a competent
electrician.
Disconnect all lines to be assembled, and take safety precautions against accidental
switch-on.
The actuators are exclusively intended for appropriate use. With each inappropriate
change or non-observance of the instructions for use, any warranty or guarantee claim
will be void.
After unpacking the device, check immediately for any mechanical damages. In case of
transport damage, this must immediately notified to the supplier.
If damaged, the actuators must not be put into
operation.
If an operation without risk may supposedly not be guaranteed, the device must be put
out of operation and be secured against accidental operation.
The actators must only be operated as stationary system, i.e. only in a fitted state and
after completion of all installation and start-up works, and only in the environment
intended for this purpose.
Elsner Elektronik does not assume any liability for changes in standards after
publication of this instruction manual.
Connection
The actuators are installed in a flush-type socket. The connection is accomplished by a
KNX connection clamp at the KNX data bus. Furthermore, a voltage supply (230 V AC or
24 V DC, depending on the version) is necessary. The physical address is allocated by
the KNX software. For this purpose, the actuator is provided with a programming key
with control LED.
Notes on installation
Never expose actuators to water (rain) or dust. This might damage the electronic
system. A relative air humidity of 95% must not be exceeded. Avoid bedwewing.

Operating range limit
The operating range limit is used in order to avoid that two units collide with each other
(e.g. an awning and a window which is about to open).
One of two drive mechanisms is prioritised and is parameterised as master and the
other one as slave. By means of zero position sensors, both actuators know the own
current status and the current status of the other one. This one is either “in a safe
position“ or “not in a safe position“. The safe position is reached as soon as the drive
14

mechanism is in a sector where a collision is not possible (for an awning, for example,
this might be an extension of 0 to 30%). In order to report the safe position of the drive
mechanism, either a zero position sensor (e.g. final position switch or light barrier) may
be connected at input 4 (IN4) of the actuator KNX S-B4T-UP, or the actuator receives the
message of its zero position sensor by the bus (see graphic in chapter “Connection
options for zero position sensors”).
Before the drive mechanism of the master actuator is moved, the slave actuator
receives the command to move its drive mechanism to the safe position. As a
consequence, the slave remains in safe position or it moves back if it is not within the
safe range.
The master actuator knows from the communication object „Slave zero position status”
whether the drive mechanism connected to the slave actuator is already in a safe
position (then the master moves immediately) or not (then the master waits). Only if the
master actuator is informed that the slave drive mechanism is in a safe position, it
moves its drive mechanism beyond its own safe position.
Example:
The ventilation with the window shall take priority over the shading with the awning.
Therefore, the window is parameterised as master, the awning as slave. Both are
provided with a zero position sensor which reports whether the drive mechanism is in a
safe position or not.
The awning is now extended and the window shall be opened. The window knows the
status of the awning (“not safe position”) and therefore submits a master command to
the awning. This is the signal for the awning, to retract a little bit. As soon as the awning
has reached a safe position, there is an according feedback signal of the zero position
sensor of the awning. Only now the window opens.
Master and slave regularly exchange their positions (“safe“
or “not safe”). By means of the monitoring period, you may
adjust the frequency of information retrieval. The selected
period should be shorter than the period which the monitored
drive mechanism needs to travel from the limit of the safe
range (last reported safe position) to a position where there is
risk of collision.
If the drive mechanism does not receive a master/slave or zero position object, it moves
to the safe position. The same holds true for a bus voltage breakdown or for a
malfunction message from the zero position sensor (is valid for the parameterisation as
master and as slave).

Operating range limit
The operating range limit is used in order to avoid that two units collide with each other
(e.g. an awning and a window which is about to open).
One of two drive mechanisms is prioritised and is parameterised as master and the
other one as slave. By means of zero position sensors, both actuators know the own
current status and the current status of the other one. This one is either “in a safe
position“ or “not in a safe position“. The safe position is reached as soon as the drive
mechanism is in a sector where a collision is not possible (for an awning, for example,
this might be an extension of 0 to 30%). In order to report the safe position of the drive
mechanism, either a zero position sensor (e.g. final position switch or light barrier) may
be connected at input 4 (IN4) of the actuator KNX S-B4T-UP, or the actuator receives the
message of its zero position sensor by the bus (see graphic in chapter “Connection
options for zero position sensors”).
Before the drive mechanism of the master actuator is moved, the slave actuator
receives the command to move its drive mechanism to the safe position. As a
24

consequence, the slave remains in safe position or it moves back if it is not within the
safe range.
The master actuator knows from the communication object „Slave zero position status”
whether the drive mechanism connected to the slave actuator is already in a safe
position (then the master moves immediately) or not (then the master waits). Only if the
master actuator is informed that the slave drive mechanism is in a safe position, it
moves its drive mechanism beyond its own safe position.
You can see an example in the chapter “Blind control: Operating range limit”.
Master and slave regularly exchange their positions (“safe“
or “not safe”). By means of the monitoring period, you may
adjust the frequency of information retrieval. The selected
period should be shorter than the period which the monitored
drive mechanism needs to travel from the limit of the safe
range (last reported safe position) to a position where there is
risk of collision.
If the drive mechanism does not receive a master/slave or zero position object, it moves
to the safe position. The same holds true for a bus voltage breakdown or for a
malfunction message from the zero position sensor (is valid for the parameterisation as
master and as slave).

Operating range limit
The operating range limit is used in order to avoid that two units collide with each other
(e.g. an awning and a window which is about to open).
One of two drive mechanisms is prioritised and is parameterised as master and the
other one as slave. By means of zero position sensors, both actuators know the own
current status and the current status of the other one. This one is either “in a safe
position“ or “not in a safe position“. The safe position is reached as soon as the drive
mechanism is in a sector where a collision is not possible (for an awning, for example,
this might be an extension of 0 to 30%). In order to report the safe position of the drive
mechanism, either a zero position sensor (e.g. final position switch or light barrier) may
be connected at input 4 (IN4) of the actuator KNX S-B4T-UP, or the actuator receives the
message of its zero position sensor by the bus (see graphic in chapter “Connection
options for zero position sensors”).
Before the drive mechanism of the master actuator is moved, the slave actuator
receives the command to move its drive mechanism to the safe position. As a
consequence, the slave remains in safe position or it moves back if it is not within the
safe range.
44

The master actuator knows from the communication object „Slave zero position status”
whether the drive mechanism connected to the slave actuator is already in a safe
position (then the master moves immediately) or not (then the master waits). Only if the
master actuator is informed that the slave drive mechanism is in a safe position, it
moves its drive mechanism beyond its own safe position.
You can see an example in the chapter “Blind control: Operating range limit”.
Master and slave regularly exchange their positions (“safe“
or “not safe”). By means of the monitoring period, you may
adjust the frequency of information retrieval. The selected
period should be shorter than the period which the monitored
drive mechanism needs to travel from the limit of the safe
range (last reported safe position) to a position where there is
risk of collision.
If the drive mechanism does not receive a master/slave or zero position object, it moves
to the safe position. The same holds true for a bus voltage breakdown or for a
malfunction message from the zero position sensor (is valid for the parameterisation as
master and as slave).
