This document describes the functions for ALL device models.
Please check the information at the beginning of the chapter and in the
text which describes the functions available for the respective individual
models.
1.Description
Salva KNX TH and Salva KNX basic are smoke detector sensors for the KNX build-
ing bus system. Their compact housing accommodates the sensors, evaluation circuits
and bus-coupling electronics.
The smoke alarm features an automatic evaluation sensor system for early and accurate fire alarms. Alarms are output as a local acoustic signal and a bus telegram. SalvaKNX basic signals smoke alarm, Salva KNX-TH signals smoke and/or heat alarm.
AND logic gates and OR logic gates allow for a link between data and statuses. Multifunctional modules change input data as required by means of calculations, querying
a condition, or converting the data point type.
The Salva KNX TH model additionally features integrated sensors for temperature
and air humidity. The measured values can be used for the control of limit-dependent
switching outputs. The devices have PI controls for heating/cooling (depending on
temperature) and for ventilation (depending on humidity).
Functions:
•Smoke alarm sensors with optical detection based on the scattered light
principle, certified according to EN 14604:2005/AC:2008 and 1172-CPR-150013.
Local acoustic alarm signal output (warning sound at least 85 dB) and transfer
to KNX bus. Local alarm acknowledgement
•Signalling of smoke alarm
•Smoke chamber pollution measurement and pollution display according to UL
directive
•Power supply via battery (9 V). Lack of battery capacity is signalled optically
and acoustically for 30 days and transmitted to the bus
•High operative safety due to elaborate automatic self-testing of the entire
electronics and separate energy measurement
•Faults signalled locally and via the bus
•High deceptive alarm immunity due to powerful measuring chamber and
consideration of temperature fluctuations (though no temperature smoke
alarm)
•8 AND and 8 OR logic gates each with 4 inputs. All switching events as well
as 16 logic inputs (in the form of communications objects) can be used as
inputs for the logic gates. The output from each gate can be configured
optionally as 1-bit or 2 x 8-bit
•8 multi-function modules (computers) for changing the input data by
calculations, by querying a condition or by converting the data point type
•4 actuating variable comparators to output minimum, maximum or
average values. 5 inputs each for values received via communication objects
•Temperature sensor and air humidity sensor with mixed value calculation,
dewpoint calculation, comfort field query (DIN 1946)
•Threshold values for measured and calculated values, adjustable via
parameters or communication objects
•PI control for heating/cooling (depending on temperature)
•PI controller for ventilation (depending on air humidity)
Configuration is made using the KNX software ETS. The product file can be downloaded from the Elsner Elektronik website on www.elsner-elektronik.de in the “Service” menu.

1.1.1. Accuracy of temperature/humidity measurement
Only for Salva KNX TH model.
Measured value deviations for temperature and humidity due to sources of interference (see chapter Installation location) must be corrected in the ETS in order to ensure
the specified accuracy of the sensor (offset).
During temperature measurement, the self-heating of the device is taken into consideration by the electronics. The software compensates the self-heating by reducing
the measured temperature. During the 2 hour warm-up phase, the displayed interior
temperature measured value increasingly approaches the actual room temperature.

2.4. Installing the device
2.4.1. Instructions for assembly and initial start-up
Never expose the device to water (e.g. rain) or dust (e.g. drilling dust). This can damage
the electronics and the sensor system. A relative air humidity of 93% may not be exceeded. Avoid condensation.
After the bus voltage has been applied, the device will enter an initialisation phase lasting a few seconds. During this phase no information can be received or sent via the
bus.
2.4.2. Assembly preparation and skirting assembly
Determine the installation point on the room ceiling. Please observe the instructions in
chapter Installation location, page 8 for this.
BEWARE!
Injury hazard in case of improper fastening!
The device may fall and injure people if it is not fastened properly.
•Observe, the carrying capacity of the wall/ceiling material when
selecting the place of installation.
•Use fixing materials that are suitable for the material underneath.
If you are using the screws and dowels provided, use a 6mm drill to drill holes with a
distance of 67 mm (if you are using two screws for installation). Use the skirting of the
smoke alarm as a stencil. Insert the dowels into the drilling holes.
As an alternative, the skirting of the alarm may be attached to the ceiling with doublesided adhesive pad (VdS approved). Carefully check the ceiling surface carefully for
lasting carrying and adhesive capacity before using adhesive pads. If necessary, do a
test glueing application. Optimum adhesive power can only be obtained on a clean surface.

can be received, or simply a command to increase or decrease.
During initial commissioning, a threshold value must be defined, which will be valid
until the first communication with a new threshold value. For units which have already
been taken into service, the last communicated threshold value can be used. Basically,
a temperature range is given, in which the threshold value can be changed (object
value limit).
A set threshold value will be retained until a new value or a change is transferred. The
current value is saved, so that it is retained in the event of a power supply failure and
will be available once the power supply is restored.

For an adequate regulation of the ambient temperature, comfort, standby, eco and
building protection modes may be used.
Comfort when present,
Standby during short absences,
Eco as a night-time mode and
Frost/heat protection (building protection) e. g. with the window open.
The settings for the temperature control include the setpoint temperatures for the individual modes. Objects are used to determine which mode is to be selected. A change
of mode may be triggered manually or automatically (e.g. by a timer, window contact).
The mode may be switched with two 8 bit objects of different priority. Objects
„... HVAC mode (Prio 2)“ for switching in everyday operation and
„... HVAC mode (Prio 1)“ for central switching with higher priority.
The objects are coded as follows:
0 = Auto
1 = Comfort
2 = Standby
3 = Eco
4 = Building Protection
Alternatively, you can use three objects, with one object switching between eco and
standby mode and the two others activating comfort mode and frost/heat protection
mode respectively. The comfort object blocks the eco/standby object, and the frost/
heat protection object has the highest priority. Objects
„... Mode (1: Eco, 0: Standby)“,
„... comfort activation mode" and
„... frost/heat protection activation mode"
Switch mode via• two 8 Bit objects (HVAC Modes)

Specify when the current control variables of the controller are to be sent to the bus.
Periodic sending is safer, in case a message does not reach a recipient. You may also
set up periodical monitoring by the actuator with this setting.
The status object reports the current status of the control variables (0% = OFF,
>0% = ON) and may for example be used for visualisation, or to switch off the
heating pump as soon as the heating is switched off.

Then define the type of control. Heating and/or cooling may be controlled in two levels.
Type of control• Single level heating
• Dual-level heating
• Single-level cooling

• Single-level heating + single-level cooling
• Dual-level heating + single-level cooling

General setpoint values
You may enter separate setpoint values for each mode or use the comfort setpoint as
a basic value.
If you are using the control for both heating and cooling, you may also select the set-
ting "separately with switching object". Systems used for cooling in summer and for
heating in winter can thus be switched from one to the other.
If you are using the basic value, only the deviation from the comfort setpoint value is
listed for the other modes (e.g, 2°C less for standby mode).

The increment for the setpoint changes is predefined. Whether the change only remains temporarily active (not saved) or is also retained after power supply restoration
(and programming), is specified in the first section of "General control". This also applies to a comfort extension.

The control may be reset to comfort mode from eco mode, which is used as night mode, via the comfort extension. This allows the user to maintain the comfort setpoint
value for a longer time, e.g. when having guests. The duration of this comfort extension period is set. After the comfort extension period expires, the system returns to eco
mode.

Comfort Setpoint
Comfort mode is usually used for daytime mode when people are present. A starting
value is defined for the comfort setpoint as well as a temperature range in which the
setpoint value may be modified.

Setpoint values for frost/heat protection (building protection)
The building protection mode is for example used as long as windows are opened for
ventilation. Setpoints for frost protection (heating) and heat protection (cooling) are
determined which may not be modified from outside (no access via operating devices
etc.). The building protection mode may be activated with delay, which allows you to
leave the building before the controls switch to frost/heat protection mode.

If a heating control mode is configured, one or two setting sections for the heating levels are displayed.
In the 1st level, heating is controlled by a PI control, which allows to either enter control
parameters or select predetermined applications.
In the 2nd level (therefore only in case of 2-level heating), heating is controlled via a PI
or a 2-point-control.
In level 2, the setpoint difference between the two levels must also be specified, i.e. below which setpoint deviation the second level is added.

8.7.Humidity PI control
If you activate humidity control, you can use the following settings to define control type, setpoint values, and humidification and dehumidification.
Use humidity controlNo • Yes
General control
Smoke alarm Salva KNX can be used to control one- or two-level dehumidification
or combined humidification/dehumidification.
Type of control• One-level dehumidification
Configure a block for the humidity control using the blocking object.
Behaviour of the blocking object with value • 1 = Block | 0 = release
Blocking object value

• 0 = block | 1 = release
0 • 1
Specify when the current control variables are to be sent to the bus. Periodic sending
is safer, in case a message does not reach a recipient. You may also set up periodic
monitoring using an actuator with this setting.

Controller setpoint
Set, in which cases setpoint values received via object are to be retained. Please note
that the setting "After power supply restoration and programming" should not be used
for the initial start-up, as the factory settings are always used until the first communication (setting via objects is ignored).
Maintain the
setpoint value received via communication
object
• never
• after power supply restoration
• after power supply restoration and
programming
During initial commissioning, a setpoint value must be defined which is valid until
the first communication of a new setpoint value. For units which have already been taken into service, the last communicated setpoint value can be used. Basically, an air
humidity range is specified in which the setpoint value can be changed (object valuelimit).
Enter, how the setpoint value will be received from the bus. Basically, a new value can
be received, or simply a command to increase or decrease.
A set setpoint value will be retained until a new value or a change is transferred. The
current value is saved, so that it is retained in the event of a power supply failure and
will be available once the power supply is restored.

In "Humidification and dehumidification" control mode, a dead zone is specified so that
a direct changeover switching between humidification and dehumidification can be
avoided.
Dead zone between humidification and
dehumidification in %
(only if both humidification and dehumidification are used)
0…50; 10
Humidification starts, when the relative air humidity is lower or equal to the setpoint
value - dead zone value.
Dehumidification and/or humidification
Depending on the control mode, settings sections for humidification and dehumidification appear (level 1/2).
For dual-level dehumidification, the setpoint value difference between the two levels
must be defined, i.e. the setpoint value which, when exceeded, triggers the switch to
the 2nd level.
Target value difference between level 1
and 2 in %
(for level 2 only)
0...50; 10
Determine the deviation from the setpoint value at which the maximum variable value
is reached, i.e. the point at which maximum output is used.
The reset time shows how quickly the controller responds to deviations from the setpoint value. In case of a short reset time, the control responds with a fast increase of
the control variable. In case of a long reset time, the control responds somewhat less
urgently and needs longer until the necessary control variable for the setpoint value
deviation is reached.
You should set the time appropriate for the humidification/dehumidification system at
this point (note manufacturer instructions).

8.8.1. Cooling medium temp. monitoring
A threshold value can be set for the temperature of the coolant, which is based on the
current dewpoint temperature (offset/deviation). The switching output of the coolant
temperature monitoring system can provide a warning prior to any build-up of condensation in the system, and/or activate appropriate countermeasures.
Threshold value
Threshold value = dewpoint temperature + offset
Set, in which cases offset received via object is to be retained. Please note that the setting "After power supply restoration and programming" should not be used for the in-
itial start-up, as the factory settings are always used until the first communication (setting via objects is ignored).

During initial commissioning, an offset must be defined which is valid until the first
communication of a new offset. For units which have already been taken into service,
the last communicated offset can be used.
A set offset will be retained until a new value or a change is transferred. The current
value is saved, so that it is retained in the event of a power supply failure and will be
available once the power supply is restored.

The Smoke alarm Salva KNX can send a message to the bus if the limits of the com-
fort field are exceeded. In this way, it is for example possible to monitor compliance
with DIN 1946 (standard values) or even to define your own comfort field.
Use comfort fieldNo • Yes
Specify the sending pattern, a Text for comfortable and uncomfortable and the Ob-ject value.
