^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 5 of 49

SynOhr MultiSense KNX is the world's first KNX room
controller with integrated voice recognition. The room
controller measures the temperature, humidity and coler
intensity.

With the aid of a dot-matrix KNX-compliant 14-byte strings
can be displayed.

A built-in speaker outputs the audio signals that can be
stored by the user on the included SD card. The output is
initiated via a 14-byte group address from the KNX bus
representing the file name on the SD card. The SD card is
formatted in the FAT file system. The data in the delivery
state are listed in Table 1.

The vocabulary of the built-in speech includes about 250

words and must not be taught separately.

The parameterization of the triggered commands is done
via ETS . Thus commands such as „COMPUTER LIGHT
30 PERCENT“ are realized. The word sequence can be
changed by the user via the free software SynOhrStudio.

The central button is illuminated in color and gives also a
visual feedback for the detected sequence (see page 36).
At the lateral edges a colored ambient lighting is installed.
The brightness of the lighting can be adjusted
automatically via built-in brightness sensor to the ambient
light be adjusted or turned off. The same applies for the
display backlight.

The variants are software options that are enabled on the serial number of the device and have

This device is a product of the KNX-system and complies with the KNX directives. Detailed
technical knowledge obtained in KNX training courses is a prerequisite to understanding. The
software for the KNXTM part is in the product data base. Planning, installation and commissioning
are carried out with the help of KNX-certified software. The built-in speech is parameterized
using the freely available program SynOhrStudio. You will find the required data under

www.synohr.com. The device is powered only from the bus and does not require additional

auxiliary power supply.

If reducing the bus voltage below 23V, then a flicker of light occurs if this is set to maximum
value. Reduce in this case the illumination (s. p.11).

In the installation box (Picture 2), which is installed in a standard hollow wall box, the bus
coupler is integrated. This is in addition to the communication to KNXTM bus also produces the
power to the SynOhr MultiSense KNX main module. The exact procedure in the assembly, refer
to the Quick Start Guide.

Placement

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 7 of 49

The max. range of speech recognition is 7 m at normal volume. The range is specified in
SynOhrStudio via the parameter slider (see page 36). Increased range means that under certain
circumstances also a reduced quality of the speech recognition e.g. if additonal noise sources
are close to the SynOhr MultiSense KNX and the speaker is a few meters away. For larger living
rooms we therefore recommend the master-slave operation with multiple stations which are set
to a standard range of about 4 m. The ideal placement is between 1.1 m and 1.5 m in height, so
that radios and televisions etc. are as far away from SynOhr MultiSense KNX but close to the
„normal“ location of the speaker.

Picture 3: Placement Examples

Picture 3 shows examples of placement for SynOhr MultiSense KNX. Place 1 is optimal from the
perspective of speech recognition. Assuming that the TV emits sounds directly and not via
sound system, is at No. 1 the distance to the most probable location of the users (sofa) the
lowest. If there is no possibility behind the sofa place 2 should be preferred instead of place 3,
because at the door are presumed noises or speaking people.

The max. range depends on room acoustics, the place of installation (e.g. acoustic shadow
behind the wall), the speaker volume, and (to a lesser extent on) the number of used words. Up
to a distance of 4 m it is possible under difficult conditions to have a every day suitable
parameterization. In addition the similarity of the selected commands and the room acoustics
plays a large role in theses distances. If noise sources (radio) on SynOhr are louder and closer
than the speaker, a detection is not possible. If larger areas in an open building are acoustically
to be „listened“ you need more slaves.

The parameter „Sensitivity“ in SynOhrStudio (comp. p. 36) sets the range. Because in hallways
or in tiled rooms and without wallpapers resonances or hall are present, you have to work with
smaller „room size“ as in rooms with sound-absorbing elements (wood walls, wallpaper,
carpets).

Recommendation: In difficult conditions – do not change any other parameters – but choose the
range small in order to gradually bring this to the desired sensitivity. It the sensitivity is set too
high the key word recognition reacts on wrong words or is not responding robust.

Keys

SD Card

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 8 of 49

Picture 4 Shows the arrangement of the two capacitive touch buttons and their sensitivity fields
and the central pressure button. The touch keys are equipped with a repeat function which ends
after about 8 seconds. After that key must be „released“ and pressed again. Optimal operation is
achieved by gentle pressure with the thumb on the pad.

Picture 4: Controls

The optimum pressure point of the central button is as indicated in Picture 4 at the top of the
button.

The parameterization of the speech is on the SC card. For the parameterization the free
software SynOhrStudio is required. The software is under

www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SynOhrStudio-win.zip for download.

The current German language data record („Sprachschatz”) you will find under

Sound-Output

www.enertex.de/downloads/synohr/SprachSchatz-DE.zip. On delivery the speech of SynOhr

MultiSense KNX is parameterized as shown in Table 1.

For changing the card insert the card vertically with the printed side to the visible side, comp.
Picture 5.

Picture 5: SD Card Placement

There is a file *.key on the supplied card. This file defines with which model variant (see page 5)
SynOhr MultiSense KNX is operated and might not be deleted. The data contained in the file
represent a software key for the features that are enabled for the device with that serial number.

Please be sure to make a backup copy of the key file. If you lose the key file, the
regeneration is not free.

After placing the aperture (see installation instructions) the capacitive touch keys must be
calibrated. This is done automatically by the reboot of SynOhr MultiSense KNX. After the
installation you press the central button for 10 seconds. The reset process can be detected on
the short-term disappearance of the numeric display.

The speaker is installed directly below the central button.

Security

Display

The volume of the sound output is via the ETS or the internal menu parameterized (comp. p. S.

16). It is also possible to control them by group addresses.

The built-speech operates with high reliability. Safety-critical operations should not be performed
(non-intended use) with speech.

Light Measurement

^SynOhrMultiSenseKNX-Eng-13.odt, 2014-05-06 Page 11 of 49

SynOhr MultiSense KNX allows the measurement of the humidity.

The measurement of sound pressure takes place via the built-in microphones and is relative to
the selected „room size“ (comp. p. 36).

The built-in light measurement is taken in four areas: red, green, blue and white. The
measurement in performed as shown in Picture 7 (clear = white).

Lighting Control

Automatic Control

Display

Ring

Picture 7: Light Measurement

For each of the three lights (ambience, ring, display) an automatic lighting control depending on
the ambient lighting, can be turned on. Starting from the max. illumination is specified via the
ETS or the internal menu (comp. page 16), will increase the backlight with increasing ambient
light to the maximum.

The intensity of the display backlight can be set by the user in steps from 0 to 100 %. This will be
parameterized by the ETS or the internal menu (comp. page 16). It is also possible to regulate
the brightness of light on the sensor automatically.

The intensity of the ring illumination of the central speaker button can be specified by the user in

steps from 0 to 100 %. This will be parameterized by the ETS or the internal menu (comp. page

16). It is also possible to regulate the brightness of light on the sensor automatically. The color
can be changed via a group address. If the speech recognizer is active the color changes
automatically to the fixed values.

The color of the ring illumination can be set via a group address if the recognizer is not active
(not in Starter Edition).

In the Premium-Edition the brightness of the ring illumination and the lighting effects can be
changed via a group address. The pulsation of the color can be converted into a pulsation of the
brightness or the pulsation can be completely deactivated.

If the pulsation of the color is selected only the green component of the illumination is changed.

The intensity of the side ambient lighting of the center speaker button can be specified by the
user in steps from 0 to 100 %. This will be parameterized by the ETS or the internal menu
(comp. page 16). It is possible to regulate the brightness of light on the sensor automatically.
The color can be specified via a group address.

Each operation of the speech must be initiated with predetermined command word (see page

36). Is the keyword recognized, a confirmation sound is output depending on the parameter­ization. The speech remains for about three seconds in this mode and waits for speaking the
actual command e.g. to turn on the light. During this waiting period the ring flashes in yellow. The
operator must necessarily wait to speak until the ring lights in yellow (respectively the sound was
played). The ambient lighting is turned off during this phase.

If this active state of the speech a command is spoken and recognized a confirmation sound is
output depending on parameterization. The ring will light green for a moment. The ambient
lighting then turns on and the ring illuminates in the selected primary color.

If all required command sequences are specified, they must be compiled (see picture 13).

Picture 13: Compile Data

Here a directory „SD“ is created and filled with all for the SynOhr MultiSense KNX necessary
data.

Then copy the contents of this directory into the top level directory of the supplied already pre­configured SD card. The configuration in the SynOhrStudio can be saved and reloaded.

Restart

There is a file*.key on the supplied card. This file defines with which model variant (see page 5)
SynOhr MultiSense KNX is operated and might not be deleted. The data contained in the file
represent a software key for the features that are enabled for the device with that serial number.

Please be sure to make a backup copy of the key file. If you lose the key file, the
regeneration is not free.

Insert the SD card into the the SynOhr MultiSense KNX and restart while pressing the central
button for about 10 seconds.

Your SynOhr MultiSense KNX can now be addressed by keyword – command sequence and
executes the parameterized switching commands.
