■ TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
A traditional electrical system with features of
high flexibility, which is easily configured and
expanded as a function of the many different
needs of the user is characterised by great
circuital complexity and so structured that each
function refers to separate and dedicated wiring.
This clearly involves a considerable increase
in installation time and may be a limitation in
modifying or adding new functions when working
in existing buildings. The problem of laying large
amounts of wire, which in some cases implies
considerable masonry work, should not however
be underestimated.
■ TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
In a building made with traditional wiring, commanding two
different lights from several points implies the laying of a
considerable number of conductors.
The addition, then, of a new command point inside the same
box considerably increases the complexity of the wiring and
reduces the room inside the box itself.
■ BUS SYSTEM
The solution to the system problems described
is represented by the new digital technologies
which can replace traditional equipment by
“intelligent” devices which can communicate with
each other.
Each device in fact has an intelligent circuit which
can process information and send it to the other
devices.
The means of transmitting information
between the various devices is called a BUS,
and in practice it is made up of a plaited pair
which simultaneously supplies and exchanges
information between the various devices
connected in parallel.
■ BUS SYSTEM
The same room instead, wired with BUS wiring, can obtain
the same operating functionality, but with a considerable
saving in conductors (just a telephone pair).
Modification of the command points or the modes of working
does not involve modifying the wiring but just the simple
configuration of the same device.
GENERAL GENERAL FEATURES FEATURES 17
MY HOME GUIDE GUIDELINES

BUS
devices
■ DIGITAL DEVICES
A BUS system is characterised by intelligent devices
connected together by a signal line (BUS) dedicated
to exchanging information and to transporting the
power supply voltage.
The physical support which provides the connection
and power supply is generally made up of a twisted
pair and unshielded cable to which all the BUS
system devices are connected in parallel.
The actuator devices, i.e. which control the loads, are
connected to the 230V a.c. power line to supply the
loads themselves as well as to the BUS line.

however BUS devices are not different from
traditional devices.

■ CONFIGURATION OF DEVICES
For each device in a BUS system to perform
its function correctly, it must be properly

■ EXAMPLES OF CONFIGURATION OF THE AUTOMATION DEVICES
is performed by inserting push-in devices called

housings on the body itself.
The confi guration assigns the destination address or
command source inside the system and the device
mode of operation (switching on/off or adjusting a
load). The device is confi gured by inserting push-in
devices called confi gurators into special housings on
the devices themselves. The confi gurators differ in

Options for growing
requirements
The MY HOME range of products, thanks to its
remarkable installation fl exibility, represents the
ideal solution for both simple and advanced domotic
applications.
Depending on the various levels of complexity and
integration of the systems, three levels of use can be
found in the MY HOME offer:
- for simple applications
- for specialized applications on single functions
- for integrated and personalised applications.
SIMPLE APPLICATIONS
Bticino can provide inexperienced domotic
installation technicians with a wide range of products
including Kits with installation instructions, set up for
a specifi c function (light activation, rolling shutter
management, sound system, etc.).
Another simplifi cation in achieving domestic
Automation is given by a range of radio control
devices which do not require wiring since they are
connected to the 230Va.c. mains sockets of the
house.
SPECIALIZED APPLICATIONS ON SINGLE FUNCTIONS
The MY HOME range includes high quality products
specifi cally designed for qualifi ed technicians who
need to achieve single and professional applications
regarding:
- Comfort (Automation system and sound system);
- Safety (Burglar alarm system);
- Saving (Temperature control system and Energy
management);
- Communication (Video door entry system);
- Control (local and remote management of the
system with PC and telephone).
INTEGRATED AND PERSONALISED APPLICATIONS
By using the 2-wire BUS technology for wiring
devices, every single MY HOME system (Automation,
Burglar alarm etc.) can be easily integrated with
the others, thus making it possible to achieve
advanced “home automation” systems which can be
customised according to the user’s needs.
Within the integrated system, the completion of

performs its functions but it is also able to suitably
interact in an easy and intelligent manner with the
other systems so as to optimise its functions.
The centralised management of all functions is, in
this case, assigned to local control devices (PC, Touch
screen) or to remote control devices via the Internet
or telephone (MY HOME Web Service).

Comfort
Automation System
The Bticino Automation system can manage the
following installations:
- lighting
- activation of rolling shutters, fans and
exhausters
- air-conditioning and heating
- infrared controls
Other particular functions can be added such as
the possibility to select a personalised scenario
with one command (simultaneous activation of
several lamps, rolling shutters, etc.).
The system can be set out in two main features:
- control devices, which can become integrated
with conventional switches, pushbuttons, twoway
switches, etc.
Power supply
230V a.c.
- actuator devices, which can become integrated
with conventional relays, to control connected
loads.
The fi rst category also includes interface devices
which can integrate, within the BUS system,
conventional devices such as switches, pushbuttons,
etc., or PC platforms for local or remote system
monitoring.
The Automation system is fl exible and very easy to
install. Only two wires of the BUS system connect all
devices in parallel, thus supplying them power and
providing mutual data exchange.

Safety
Burglar alarm system
Equipped with sensitive IR detectors and magnetic
contacts, the Burglar alarm is an effective and safe
protection system for assets and people because it is
able to detect the presence of trespassers by means
of audible, luminous and telephone alarms.
All the devices that are part of the system are
connected in parallel with only two wires and are
made up of a telephone pair which distributes the
power supply, thus carrying the information among
the devices. The use of only one remote control and
of transponder keys coded automatically between
millions of combinations as well as the possibility of
dividing the house up to 8 independent zones makes

the system very simple and fl exible. It is therefore
possible, for instance, to protect rooms by activating
the perimeter zones (doors and windows) and, at the
same time, to move around the house freely.
Using the unit with the Telephone dialling device
enables you to transfer the alarm signals to the
telephone line, thus notifying the stored telephone
numbers with voice messages and allowing you to
know the system status through access codes.
It is possible to connect a radio receiver to the wire
system to integrate Burglar alarm radio devices
which can be used for protecting zones which are not
set up for wire cabling. See MY HOME Burglar alarm

is ideal for applications within large country houses,
terraced houses and small service sectors, where it is
possible to save up to 30% in consumption compared
to a conventional system controlled by a traditional
chronothermostat.
The heart of the system is a control unit which
detects the temperatures of the various zones

The MY HOME Temperature control system can be
used with different types of heating and cooling
terminal equipment such as radiators, fan-coils and
radiant panels. The Temperature control system can
be easily combined with the MY HOME Automation

Saving
Energy Management system
The increasingly considerable use of household
appliances has shown how their simultaneous and
frequent use can trigger the electricity meter due
to overload, hence disconnecting the power (black
out). In order to avoid this from occurring, Bticino has
designed the Energy Management application which
controls the amount of current absorbed by the loads
inside the house and self-disconnects the household
appliances considered less important. The amount
of absorbed power is controlled by a special unit
which starts triggering actuators (in AXOLUTE, LIVING,
LIGHT and LIGHT TECH style) as the overload condition

gets near, hence disconnecting the loads according
to an order determined by the user. In addition to
the overload control, there is also the possibility to
manage the loads according to a timing plan set
up by the user so as to better utilise the contract
power during low-priced time bands. The Energy
management application can be completed in two
different ways: through BUS technology wire cabling
or through a power line carrier system, for existent
electric systems not set up with BUS wiring. See MY

Communication
Video door-entry system and CCTV
MY HOME video door- entry systems make use of
the same digital BUS technology as the Automation
and Burglar alarm systems. Regardless of the number
of calls, complexity of the system and performance
given, all devices are, as a matter of fact, connected
in parallel to an 8-wire BUS and confi gured so that
every door-entry call is coded and addressed only to
its video door-entry unit. The absence of the coaxial
cable for the video signal simplifi es the installation,
thus avoiding the use of other conversion circuits
and devices. Without changing the wiring and by
using the multi-functionality of the video door-entry

of the house in which a camera is installed, thereby
increasing the security level provided by the system.
If more security is required, it is possible to activate
the cameras by adding IR motion detectors or by

■ GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ever greater presence in buildings of systems
which are technologically advanced but have
heterogeneous features shows more and more
the need to combine to optimise the functions
performed and generate others which correspond
to new needs.
As all the system solutions offered by My Home
in terms of comfort, safety, energy management
and communication can share the same means
of transmitting information they can be easily
combined to make best use of the synergies
and answer the needs of the moment in an
“intelligent” way.
This lets us achieve two aims:
IR detector Burglar alarm
28 MY HOME - GUIDELINES
F422 interface
• The interaction between two or more systems to
automatically manage, e.g., events linked to safety
(switching on the lights when a burglar alarm is
given or sending an alarm message when there
has been a gas leak);
• Centralising information for the checking and
remote monitoring of the functions in the home
by means of a PC connected to the Internet or by
means of simple telephone commands.
This combination is produced by means of special
interfaces which can transmit information between
two or more systems.
■ EXAMPLE OF SWITCHING ON THE LIGHTS
WHEN AN INTRUSION ALARM HAS BEEN GIVEN
Following an intrusion the Burglar-alarm system,
by means of interface item F422, may send
a command to the Automation system to
automatically switch the lights on with the aim of
confusing the thief and causing him to run away.

WHAT MY HOME WEB CAN DO
The following functions can be activated with a
simple telephone or by connecting to the reserved
area of the Internet MY HOME portal:
Controls: to manage the lighting, heating,
electrical appliances, power and all the
automatic devices in the home.
Scenarios: to simultaneously activate several
predefined commands such as, for example,
opening the gate and switching on the driveway lights
at the same time, with just one action. A scenario
saved in the system can be actiAvated by means of a
scenario unit and Web house-automation scenarios.
The Web house-automation scenarios are scenarios
programmed in the Web pages of the MY HOME portal.
30 MY HOME - GUIDELINES
SMS AND
MMS
E-MAIL
AND
INTERNET
MESSAGE
AND VOICE
MENU
Alarms: when there is a dangerous event, the
home contacts the telephone numbers and
programmed addresses with a telephone call, an
SMS and an e-mail with audio/video attached and
automatically activates by responding to the preset
actions (e.g. the automatic switching on of all the
lights in the home).
Planning: with a single order one can manage
the watering or temperature control or
simulate the presence of the user in the home. It will
be possible to determine the actions that the house
shall automatically perform during the days, hours and
for the time periods chosen.
Archives: MY HOME Web records all the actions and
events which have occurred in the home and makes
them available for consultation by the user.
Images: to see the rooms of the house taken by
the cameras in real time.
Answering machine: the user can be informed
of event such as a door entry call by sending
SMS or e-mail with audio/video attached. The signals
can also be consulted by entering the reserved area of
the My Home portal.
Check: the state of the home functions can be
managed to find out, for example, whether the
intrusion system is switched on, the rolling shutters
are closed, etc.

MY HOME WEB
The advantages
MY HOME WEB can check all the houseautomation
functions simply, customisable and
conveniently. Simple because the user does
not have to remember special passwords to
access the service via telephone or computer.
Customisable because the user can arrange
schedules, WEB domotic scenarios as well as
the answering machine introduction message.
Convenient because thanks to the MY HOME
Portal the services can be used with different
means of communication such as a computer and
fixed and mobile phones, regardless of the type
of device used.
EXAMPLE OF WEB PAGE TO CONTROL THE CAMERAS
Devices such as the telephone actuator, the burglar
alarm unit with an integrated dialling device and the
telephone dialling device specifically designed for
being managed via the telephone line can also be,
with MY HOME WEB, controlled with a PC connected
to the Internet or with voice commands and SMS’s.
The MY HOME Web installer can benefit from the
advantages offered because, when the customer
requests, he can modify the programming, the
system parameters and make diagnosis and
maintenance remotely.

GENERAL RULES FOR INSTALLATION
Type of wiring
GENERAL DESCRIPTION WIRING WITH FREE STRUCTURE - GENERAL RULES
If the user knows the special needs for the My Home systems to be installed
in his home a priori, it is easy to identify the type of wiring to be fi tted.
If not, instead the building should be provided with a series of enough
conduits and boxes (device holders and junction) to satisfy the greatest
number of requests possible.
As a function of the My Home systems to be installed, you can choose
between two different types of wiring:
- with free structure
- with “star” structure.
Wiring with free structure is applied when the Automation, Burglar-alarm,
Energy Saving, 8 wire Video door entry and Temperature control systems
must be installed. Wiring with “star” structure is instead used to make EDP,
telephone, TV+SAT, 2 wire Video door entry and Sound systems.
34 MY HOME - GUIDELINES
Radio
interface
Burglar alarm
control unit
Radio
control
This type of wiring is normally used in traditional distributions, however to
integrate the My Home systems described above, the following provisions
should be taken into account in the design phase:
a) The BUS route may be the same as the power line, made with traditional
underfl oor trunking, in wall-mounting trunking, in underfl oor systems
or in trunking in false ceiling. This solution allows a reduction of the
installation times and requires making fewer holes in the wall. If the
building already has the energy system conduits with diameter not less
than 20 mm, they can be used to insert the sheathed BUS pair, supplied
by Bticino and characterised by an insulation voltage of 300/500V. If
instead a My Home system is being made in a new building the energy
wiring conduits should be kept separate from the My Home conduits.
These should be chosen with suitable diameter to satisfy any request for
actual and future systems.
b) The provisions given above also extend to the installation of the junction
boxes which must be sized and situated in positions which make it easier
to connect the pair “in parallel” in several stretches of system.
c) If the shutters and rolling shutters are to be motorised, provide for the
arrival of the energy services and the BUS Automation pair near the
rolling shutters boxes as well.

WIRING WITH “STAR” STRUCTURE - GENERAL RULES
This wiring is indicated when the data transmission, Video door entry, CCTV,
Sound, telephone system and TV/SAT systems are to be combined in a single
conduit.
The wiring star structure is made up of a central point defi ned “star centre”
where all the peripheral branches of the various wirings converge. As
standard the “star centre” is made with a switchboard, a fl ush-mounting
or wall-mounting panel which groups together all the active and passive
devices to manage the services which are led inside the apartment from the
urban and building networks.
The sizing of a system with star wiring must take account of the following
provisions:
Video door entry
system
TV+SAT
ANTENNA
ADSL
TELEPHONE
Telephone
system
a) Provide a switchboard which is large enough to allow any future
expansions of the functions; we recommend calculating at least 20 - 30%
more room.
b) Compatible with the building structure, position the “star centre” in a
central position in the system. Whenever possible, install the switchboard
in a special service room or closet so that it does not spoil the appearance
of the room.
c) Install the conduits providing junction boxes every 10 metres to pull the
cables or to insertion of any signal amplifi ers. For the energy system use
exclusive piping, the EDP/telephone system/TV services can share the
same piping which must have an internal diameter of not less than 18mm
(recommended 20mm).

GENERAL RULES
FOR INSTALLATION
THE SWITCHBOARD OR HOUSE AUTOMATION PANEL
Regardless of the type of wiring used, star or free, combining the various
MY HOME systems in the building involves the need to group together in a
single central point all those active (power supplies, interfaces, telephone
switchboards etc.) or passive devices which are involved in checking and
managing all the functions.
This point in effect forms the “brain” of the whole building houseautomation
system and must be sized taking account of the following
general rules:
SCS/SCS interface
Dimmer actuator
Thermal-magnetic and
earth-leakage switch
Energy Management
Control Unit
Cross connection
Telephone line protection
Burglar alarm Power supply
Transformer
HOUSE-AUTOMATION PANEL ACCESSORIES
Example of a technological cubicle made with 120-DIN module tiboard switchboard.
The house-automation panel accessories allow a rational arrangement in
small spaces of the devices necessary to make a My Home system. With
these components, among other things DIN devices can be positioned one
on top of the other, or components not in DIN modularity, such as WEB
SERVER, MH ROUTER etc., can be easily fastened.
a) provide extra space to allow the installation of further equipment required
by new and different requirements.
b) whenever power supplies are used, these must be installed in the lowest
position of the switchboard for easier dissipation of heat.
c) select the switchboard which can dissipate a power greater than the sum
of the powers dissipated by all the devices which must be installed.
For further information see the “Multimedia wiring” section as well.

GENERAL RULES FOR INSTALLATION
Layout for video-audio-telephone door entry devices
GENERAL RULES
The piping containing the wires must have a suitable diameter taking account
of any future extensions as well.
The wires must have cross-sections and features suitable for the system sizes,
extent and type and placed in separate piping.
The components, particularly the power supplies and the cameras, must be
positioned and connected in a workmanlike way in conformity with the IEC
standards.
CONNECTION OF THE WIRES
When connecting the wires to the blue terminals, on the components, be
careful to respect the indications given here at the side.
HEIGHT AND POSITIONING OF THE ENTRANCE PANEL
When installing the entrance panel, in both the audio and video versions,
the pushbutton panel should be positioned as in the indications given here
at the side.
The camera must not be installed in front of large light sources, or in places
where the subject being filmed is in the shadow.
If this condition cannot be respected, the picture will not have much contrast
in the darker areas. This is because the brightness is self-regulated on the
lighter part of the picture.
To solve these problems change the camera installation height, normally 160
– 165 cm, to a height of 180 cm and direct the lens downwards to improve
the quality of the shots.
NOTE:
- In bad lighting cameras with colour sensor are less sensitive than black/
white cameras.
An extra lighting source should thus be provided in badly lit places.
- To allow use by disabled or handicapped people, the devices should be
installed at a height of 120 – 125 cm.
HEIGHT OF THE AUDIO HANDSET
When installing the audio handset, in both the audio and video versions, the
devices should be mounted as shown in the figure below.
NOTE:
To allow use by disabled or handicapped people, the devices should be
installed at a height of 120 – 125 cm.
48 MY HOME - GUIDELINES
The entrance panels have an IP54 degree of protection.
The power supply is installed in the suitably supplied and protected houseautomation
panel through its own correctly sized protection and isolation

Cables for wiring
BTICINO CABLE ITEM 336904
For video systems, BTicino has specially made a cable, Item 336904, made up
of 2 twisted wires with cross-section of 0.50mm 2 for each conductor. This cable
gives best performance in the video system (greater distance between Entrance
Panel and Audio Handset than when using other cables). Also, unlike commonly
used cables which are not suitable for laying under the floor even if protected by
piping, Item 336904 is suitable for under-floor laying as long as it is protected by
suitable piping, because it respects the requirements of standard IEC 20-11 for
cables which can be laid under the floor.
WARNING:
although Item 336904 guarantees in its construction 300/500V electrical
insulation immunity to the disturbances which may occur whenever the cable
itself is laid in the same piping as the 230V power cable is not guaranteed.
These types of installation are strongly not recommended.
BTICINO CABLE ITEM L4669 AND ITEM 4669/500
The cable has been specially designed to make bus systems for the Lighting,
Automation and Power control applications. The power supplies and operating
signals are distributed through this cable. With the BUS cable insulated at
300/500V and the terminal protection cover with which all the devices are fitted,
the BTicino systems can also be installed in boxes and piping together with the
power lines (230 Va.c.).
Technical features
- Sheathed SCS pair made up of 2 flexible plaited and unshielded wires with
sheath
- Insulation voltage: 300/500V
- Correspond to standards IEC 46-5 and IEC 20-20
- Skein length: 100 metres (Item L4669) 500 metres (Item L4669/500)
BTICINO CABLE ITEM L4669S
The cable has been specially designed to make My Home Burglar-alarm systems.
The power supplies and operating signals are distributed through this cable. With
the BUS cable insulated at 300/500V and the terminal protection cover with
which all the devices are fitted, the BTicino Burglar-alarm system can also be
installed in boxes and piping together with the power lines (230 Va.c.).
Technical features
- Sheathed SCS pair made up of 2 flexible plaited and unshielded wires with
sheath for Burglar-alarm system
- Insulation voltage: 300/500V
- Correspond to standards IEC 46-5 and IEC 20-20
- Skein length: 100 metres
52 MY HOME - GUIDELINES

BTICINO CABLE ITEM C9881U/5E
Unshielded cable (UTP) in category 5E with four pairs of AWG24 conductors.
Made for structured wiring applications, data transmission networks.
If the distances which can be obtained with cable Item 336900/03 are to be
reached, two extra conductors should be provided, minimum cross-section
1.5mm 2 , to supply the device.
Conditions of use
The cable is not suitable for being buried, even with suitable piping, and it should
not transit together with the power lines (230 Va.c.).
UTP5 MULTIPAIR CABLE
A normal UTP5 multipair cable, available on the market, can be used as an
alternative to the BTicino cable. If the distances which can be obtained with
cable Item 336900/03 are to be reached two extra wires, minimum cross-section
1.5mm 2 , must be provided for the device power supply. UTP5 and C9881U/5E
cables are indicated for the apartment stretches (from the floor distribution block
to the audio handset) if there are problems of inserting cable Item 336900.
Conditions of use
Before installing check the cable insulation and whether it can be buried.
BTICINO CABLE ITEM 336900 / ITEM 336903
The cable has been specially designed to make door entry and video door entry
systems with the digital system. It is made up of 3 pairs of individually twisted
wires for the signals and 2 wires for the low-voltage device supply. The power
supply wires (blue and red) have a cross-section of 1.5 mm 2 ; those for the signals
(green-green white, orange-orange white, brown-brown white) have a crosssection
of 0.35 mm 2 . The three pairs of wires have been twisted with different
pitches to optimise signal transmission. The colour-function reference indicated on
the diagrams should thus be respected.
The cable can be purchased in:
- 100 metre skein Item 336900
- 500 metre coil Item 336903
Conditions of use
The cable can be buried according to standards IEC 20-13 and IEC20-14 and is thus
suitable for use:
- In the open air inside trunking, walkways and piping
- Buried in suitable piping
- Inside walling with suitable conditions
Warning: The cable must not be buried directly without suitable piping.
Non-fire propagating cable conforming to the following standards:
CEI 20-22 II, CEI 20-13, CEI 20-11, CEI 20-14, CEI 20-29 and CEI 46-5/46-21.
Remember that the UTP5 cables and telephone cables normally sold do not
satisfy the requirements of the reference standards and are thus not suitable for
laying underground, even in suitable trunking.
The cable guarantees a degree of insulation up to 300/500V (and can thus safely
coexist with the mains power supply). Despite this, such systems should not
be made and the correct operation of a system so installed is not guaranteed,
because immunity to disturbances which could occur is not guaranteed.
Laying them with 380 Va.c. power lines is definitely not recommended.

General description
The intelligent management of the building requires
the integration of individual house automation
applications -so far described separately in this
guide- in order to optimise the effi ciency of the
functions or to generate new ones aiming at
additional comfort, safety and security, and costeffectiveness.
Such an integration of different
MY HOME systems is possible thanks to the BUS
technology, which allows for the exchange of
information between the systems by connecting
their respective pairs together (BUS).
Integration is achieved in two ways:
Example of integration of the Burglar alarm system with the Automation system
for the automatic switch-on of lights when the burglar alarm system is disabled.
56 MY HOME - GUIDELINES
External light Internal light - entrance
A. using the basic integration opportunities offered
by some devices, pre-set to operate together with
other systems.
An example is chronothermostat Item L/N/
NT4449, which can be remote-controlled by
means of the “remote” terminals connected to
telephone switchboard PABX to remote control
the heating system by means of simple telephone
controls.
B. using specifi c interface devices allowing
to perform innovative house automation
functions, stemming from the synergic operation
of interconnected systems.
These integration functions are described in this
chapter.

CONFIGURATION
Interface Item F426
The SCS/EIB interface can connect an SCS system to an EIB system with three
different modes:
- Standard mode
- Field bus mode
- Auto_memo mode
All three modes are always active. In general terms, these modes require
a different approach in the use of the interface, but they do not mutually
exclude.
With the auto_memo mode, any SCS frame can be connected with EIB
telegrams. The interface converts only three types of frames from SCS to EIB:
- Alarm (from the Burglar alarm system)
- Auxiliary controls (from the Burglar alarm system or from the Automation
system)
- Automation system controls
Every frame should be associated with a specific EIB control and a specific
EIB address. In EIB possible actions are the following:
- Commute an ON/OFF actuator;
- Control a shutter (UP/DOWN/STOP);
- Distance display.
For these reasons, a default conversion from SCS to EIB can be defined:
EIB address = X/Y/I1/I2
Where X/Y (group address for EIB) can be selected manually by the installer
using two configurators.
Where I1/I2 are:
0/1 to 0/9 for alarm controls:
I2 = 1 for intrusion
I2 = 2 for tampering
I2 = 3 for battery
I2 = 4 for power supply
I2 = 5 to 9 for future applications
1/0 to 9/0 for SCS ESE controls Dest = A/PL=10 to 90 (I1=1 to 8; I2=1 to 9)

Using Item L4652/2 with the confi gurator in position M=CEN there are four
different controls with the same destination address:
one control for each pushbutton (1,2,3,4). If we want to control a light, only
the lower pushbuttons can be used (3 and 4) for the ON/OFF commutation
of two different lights, cyclically:
ON/OFF/ON/OFF…
If we want to control shutters, and, particularly, two different shutters,
we need to use all the pushbuttons (1,2,3,4). Using pushbuttons 1 and
3, the corresponding group address is X/Y. Using pushbuttons 2 and 4,
the corresponding group address is X/Z, where Z is selected by means
of another confi gurator (total: three confi gurators to select two different

groups addresses). To determine whether Item L4652/2 controls a light or
a shutter, we need to specify a separation address by means of another two
confi gurators (WU):
Address > WU = shutter
Address < WU = light
If no confi gurators are installed, all routed addresses are for shutter control.
In the event of a wrong confi guration, the EIB and PROG. LEDs are on or

Conversely, this chapter describes the use of this Interface in order to
integrate two or more different MY HOME systems.
Referring to the above guide for technical information concerning the

configured Interface:
“BURGLAR ALARM INTERFACE / AUTOMATION” MODE
This mode can be obtained by placing configurator No. 4 in the MOD position
and enables you to Interface the Automation system with the Burglar alarm
system in order to help the interaction and exchange of information between
the two BUSES in the directions indicated by the arrows:

Burglar alarm Automation
Public riser: for interfacing the audio door-entry units or digital video doorentry
units with the Burglar alarm systems
Burglar alarm interface /automation: for interfacing the Automation system
with the Burglar alarm system.
Galvanic separation: for combining the video door-entry system with an Automation
or Burglar alarm system and for remote monitoring through the Web Server.
Installation rules
- The BUS of the Burglar alarm system must always be connected to the OUT
terminal of the Interface.
- It is not possible to connect other interfaces to the Burglar alarm system
to physically extend the BUS (Physical expansion mode) or to increase the
maximum number of devices (Logical expansion mode).
- It is possible to connect only one Interface to the Burglar alarm system.
Hence, it is not possible to connect two separate Automation systems
between each other through a Burglar alarm system.
- You cannot install the Automation system Actuators in the Burglar alarm
system.

“GALVANIC SEPARATION” MODE
This mode enables you to keep the power supplies of the Automation or
Burglar alarm systems separate from the Video door-entry system, thereby
allowing communication between all devices; for this mode, no configurator
shall be placed in the MOD position.
It shall be used only when the following functions are required:
- integration of the Burglar alarm system with the digital 8-wire Video doorentry
system for automatic activation of the cameras following an intrusion
event (only one-family system);
- integration between the Automation system and the Sound system;
- management and remote control through the MY HOME Portal with PC and
Web server connected to the Internet/LAN of the MY HOME systems (only
one-family systems).

Installation rules
During the development of the project, keep in mind the following
recommendations:
- The riser BUS of the Terraneo digital 8-wire Video door-entry system and
the Sound system BUS must be connected to the OUT terminal of the
Interface with wires 5 and 6.
- The BUS of the Automation or Burglar alarm system must be connected to
the IN terminal.
- It is not possible to connect additional separate Automation and Burglar
alarm systems to the same riser of the Video door-entry system; therefore,
the integration can be used only with “one-family” systems.
For each system, it is possible to apply the “Logical expansion” or
“physical” rules of the systems described in the chapter “My Home Comfort
– Installation prescriptions”.

USE OF INTERFACES HAVING SEVERAL MODES
In case of considerably complex house automation systems, several systems
with interfaces configured with different modes can be integrated.
For example, a system with three interfaces in the “logic expansion” mode
can be created, to connect three Automation systems to one single riser. If
necessary, each of them can then be expanded (physical expansion mode)
A/PL=11 41
or interfaced with the Burglar alarm or the Energy Management system by
means of additional interfaces.
This is the case, for instance, of a large multi-storey villa where the
Automation system of each floor is connected, by means of interfaces Item
F422, to the other systems through a common bus called “private riser”.
Example of an Automation system, with physical expansion, connected to the Burglar alarm system by means of a private riser.

Connection and information exchange between My Home systems and EIB
standard systems.
My Home BUS systems and EIB-technology systems are integrated by means
of a dedicated interface item F426.
This device, appropriately configured, can perform several functions,
including:
- connection of an Automation system consisting only of control devices with
an EIB system consisting only of actuators;
- connection of a Burglar alarm system with an EIB system to activate EIB
devices in case of dangerous events;
- exchange of information between the two different BUSES, useful to
activate specific controls on a system following events generated on the
other system.
