INTRODUCTION

- The following User Manual describes the operation and configuration of the Blind channels that incorporate different DINUY

Actuators

- These channels can control the motion of Roller Blinds or Awnings, Venetian Blinds (blinds or blinds with slats) and Ventilation

Gates.

- In the Actuators with this functionality, the control of the blind is carried out by means of two consecutive relays. The first

relay of each channel will send the raising telegrams, whereas the second channel will send the lowering ones.

CONFIGURATION

- Each Blind channel can be configured as:

· Venetian Blind (blind with or without slats):

· Roller Shutter/Awning:

· Venting Louver:

Configuration Parameters

- Regardless of the parameterization, the following parameters are available:

· Behavior after recovering bus voltage: action to be performed when the KNX bus voltage or mains supply is

restored.

• No action: the blind does nothing, it stays at the same position it was in before the supply fault.

Nevertheless, after the mains is reestablished, regardless of the current position of the blind, the Actuator
considers that it is completely lowered (position = 100%) and it will be necessary to make a complete move
up to carry out correctly the next positioning.

• Up: the blind is moved-up.

• Down: the blind is moved-down.

• Go to position: the blind is moved completely up and then is moved to the set position.

· Blind/Roller/Louver Movement time (sec): movement time of the blind from upper position (0%) to lower (100%),

and vice versa. This time can be set between 1 and 3600 seconds.

· Slats Movement time (only Venetian Blind): movement time of the slats from fully open position (0%) to fully

closed one (100%), and vice versa. This time can be set between 2 and 600 tenths of a second. The number of steps of
the slats will be calculated by dividing this time by the length of the step, sets in the general parameters.

· Reaction after bus failure: behavior of the blind after detecting a fault on the KNX bus.

· Extra time for Up movement (%): time added to the up movement to complete the raising course. Due to its

weight, the length of the raising course will be higher than the lowering course.

· Reversion Pause time (msec): time delay to avoid any damage on the engine due to an instant direction change when

the blind was already in movement. The Actuator waits if it was in movement and a telegram to change the direction is
received.

· Step operation possible: sets if the Step action is allowed, or just Stopping one, through the object “[BL] Stop / Step

Up / Down”.

· If the Step action is allowed, it will be necessary to set its length:

· Output Line phase respect to reference: allows the "zero-crossing-point" switching control of the relay. This type of

control makes it possible to switch high loads without risk of damaging the relay due to the high current peaks of the
load at starting. The Reference Phase is that with which the Actuator is supply in L and N.

Advanced Parameters

- Moreover, advanced parameters and functions are also available:

· Enable object: Blind/Roller/Louver position Feedback (%): allows to know the position of the Blind through the 1-

byte object, "[BL] Blind / Roller / Louver position Feedback". By enabling this object, it will be necessary to set the period

3600 seconds.

· Enable object: Slats position Feedback (only Venetian Blinds): allows to know the position of the Slats through

the 1-byte object, "[BL] Slats position Feedback". By enabling this object, it will be necessary to set the period for cyclical
sending: "Time to send “Slats position Feedback" (sec)". This time can be set between 60 and 3600 seconds.

· Enable Scenes Function: up to 8 different scenarios can be preset. In each Scene the position of the Blind and the

position of the Slats can be stablished.

· Enable Forced Function: its priority is higher than the standard operating orders and its priority, or not, over the

alarms, can be defined in the Alarms menu.

• No reaction: the channel does not respond to centralized commands.

• Any value = Up: any value received in the object “[Central] Move Blind” causes a rising of the blind

connected to this channel.

• Any value = Down: any value received in the object “[Central] Move Blind” causes a lowering of the blind

connected to this channel.

• Any value = Position: any value received in the object “[Central] Move Blind” causes a movement of the

blind connected to this channel to the set value.

• 0 = Up, 1 = Down: a 0 received in the object “[Central] Move Blind” causes a rising of the blind

connected to this channel, and an 1 causes a lowering.

• 1 = Up, 0 = Down: an 1 received in the object “[Central] Move Blind” causes a rising of the blind

connected to this channel, and a 0 causes a lowering.
