Getting to know the Switch/Blind Master SpaceLogic KNX
1 Getting to know the Switch/
Blind Master
The SpaceLogic KNX Switch/Blind Master is a KNX actuator that switches a maximum of 8 loads (such as lamps) or controls a maximum of 4 blind motors with end
switches. The assignment of the functions to the channels is freely selectable and
depends on your requirements.
If you need more channels for your project, you can connect so-called SpaceLogic
KNX Switch/Blind Extensions. Just like the master, the channels can be divided into
switch or blind channels. As a master can control a maximum of 2 extensions, a
maximum of 24 loads can be switched or a maximum of 12 blind motors controlled.
All connected loads can be operated manually using the master’s buttons, but this
function can also be deactivated via the ETS. Manual operation: Manual control of
channels --> 25
The status of the device, e.g. status of the channels, operating readiness or activated manual operation, is indicated by several LEDs. More about the behavior can be
found here: Switch/Blind devices --> 18

Getting to know the Universal Dimming Master SpaceLogic KNX
2 Getting to know the Univer-
sal Dimming Master
The SpaceLogic KNX Universal Dimming Master is a KNX actuator that switches
and dims a maximum of 2 loads, such as:
•Incandescent and halogen lamps (resistive load)
•LV halogen lamps with dimmable, wound transformers (inductive load)
•LV halogen lamps with dimmable, electronic transformers (capacitive load)
•Combination of resistive and inductive loads
•Combination of resistive and capacitive loads
•Dimmable ESL/CFL
•Dimmable LED lamps
Combinations of inductive and capacitive loads must not be connected to one
output.
Dimmer tool
Schneider Electric has tested numerous dimmable LED and energy saving lamps.
The dimmer tool provides information on dimmable lamps and the minimum and
maximum number of individual lamp models.
When switching on, the actuator automatically detects the connected load. The
following dimming operation modes can be set:
Dimming operation modeActivated bySet up
RCTrailing edge phaseAutomatic load detectionETS (default) or on the device
RLLeading edge phaseAutomatic load detectionETS (default) or on the device
RL-LEDLeading edge phase* ManualETS or on the device
*For LEDs/CFLs the RC mode is automatically set. In some cases, however,
LEDs/CFLs may need to be operated in RL-LED mode. Please refer to the instructions of the lamp manufacturers.
Even during operation, the load is checked for inductive behaviour and, if
necessary, switched to RL mode. Please note that a load may only be exchanged
when the mains voltage is switched o.
To increase the number of channels, you can connect a maximum of 2 extensions
to the master. Depending on the required function, the SpaceLogic KNX Universal
Dimmer Extension and the SpaceLogic KNX Switch/Blind Extension can be used.
All connected loads can be operated manually using the master’s buttons, but this
function can also be deactivated via the ETS. Manual operation: Manual control of

Commissioning of Master and Extension SpaceLogic KNX
6 Commissioning of Master
and Extension
The KNX commissioning of a master is similar to any other KNX device. It does
not matter whether you just want to commission a master or also the extensions
connected to it. When the master is commissioned, the connected extensions are
also commissioned automatically.
If the extensions are connected but not parameterised in the ETS, the correspon-
ding extension LED (E1 or E2) on the master ashes.
There are 2 commissioning procedures that you carry out depending on the case:
•Full commissioning
•Partial commissioning
You carry out full commissioning when you
•load the ETS application/individual address into the master
•replace a master
•permanently remove or add an extension
•replace an extension with another extension type (dimmer/switch)
•want to change the order of the extensions
Perform full commissioning --> 14
the partial commissioning is carried out when you:
•replace an extension with the same extension type
Perform partial commissioning --> 16
6.1 Perform full commissioning
You carry out full commissioning when you:
•load the ETS application and physical address into the master for the rst time
•replace a master
•permanently remove or add an extension
•replace an extension with another extension type (dimmer/switch)
•want to change the order of the extensions
During full commissioning, the master receives the ETS application (and the indi-
vidual address, if applicable) and conguration data is loaded into the connected
extensions.
During the process, the order of the extensions is always congured: the extension
connected to the master is assigned the address “1”, the following extension is
assigned the address “2”.

control of channels
With the manual operation you can control the channels directly from the master
device. This function is used if, for example, you want to set a certain constellation
for maintenance/cleaning work or for testing.
There are two dierent types of manual operation:
•Manual operation with low priority --> 25
Select this manual operation if you want to test a channel or check its status.
•Manual operation with high priority --> 27
You select this manual operation if maintenance or cleaning work is to be carried out on the loads.
8.1 Manual operation with low priority
During manual operation, the bus function is also still active (RUN LED lights up).
The channel push buttons have the same priority as group objects with low priority.
This means that a high-priority function - such as a weather alarm - can overwrite
the required position.
You can either activate manual operation directly on the master device or via a
KNX object.
Manual operation can be deactivated manually on the device or after an adjustable
time (ETS).

What do I have to consider when planning in the cabinet?
As usual, you plan the functions in the project and the resulting number of channels. For space in the cabinet, always plan a device width of 72 mm (4 TE) for each
master or extension.
Master and extension do not necessarily have to be placed next to each other. Connection cables with a
length of 30 cm and 150 cm provide the necessary flexibility.
The project is expanding, I need more channels. Is that possible?
You can connect a maximum of 2 extensions to one master. Which combination
possibilities you have, you can nd here: Who can be combined with whom -->
13
Example switch/blind master:
You can connect a maximum of 2 extensions to one master. In the case of switch-
ing channels, this would give you a maximum of 24 channels. If you need more
switching channels, start again with a master to which extensions can be connected.
Do I need a special KNX power supply?
No, regarding the KNX power supply, the general KNX rules apply. For details
about the electrical connection, please refer to the installation instructions of the
devices.
What should I do if I have made changes in ETS?
Carry out a full commissioning [--> 14], in which a download of the application
into the master and thus also into the extension follows as usual.
What do I do if I replace an extension with an extension of the
same type?
You can use a new extension or one that has already been used in another project.
After installation, carry out the partial commissioning. [--> 16]

What do I do if I replace an extension with an extension of another type?
For example, you want to replace a dimmer extension with a switch/blind extension: Recongure the ETS application and perform full commissioning after installation. [--> 14]

For Switch/Blind: In the operating mode manual operation with low priority, you
can control two channels at the same time. Push button 1/2 or 3/4 or 5/6 or 7/8.
In the operating mode manual operation with high priority, you can control all channels at the same time.
1 Activate manual operating
– Short press to activate manual operation with low priority– Long press to activate manual operation with high priority
2 Select channel with connected load
The LED of the selected channel button lights up. The connected load is switched
on.
Dimmer: What should I do if the ERR LED, LED 2/LED4 flash and
the load can no longer be controlled?
The dimmer has detected a short circuit or a frequency problem in the mains voltage. The short circuit can be caused by an incorrect load. Please change the load
and briey disrupt the power supply of the channel (not KNX).
Who can I contact if an error occurs?
Please contact your Customer Care Center in your country.
