For your safety
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH.
Safe electrical installation must be carried out only by skilled professionals. Skilled professionals must prove profound knowledge in the following
areas:
•Connecting to installation networks
•Connecting several electrical devices
•Laying electric cables
•Connecting and establishing KNX networks
•Safety standards, local wiring rules and regulations
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
The devices and the associated ETS application must not be used to control safety-relevant applications.
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
The Master has control
1.1 The extended tasks of a Master
With a connected Extension, the tasks of the master also become wider. The Master completely controls the extensions, their power supply and also the communication to the bus. You can even program an extension in the existing ETS application
of the Master. And since an Extension has neither a bus coupling nor its own individual address, conventional KNX commissioning is not required for an extension.
Changes in a project, such as the removal, addition or replacement of an extension, can be carried out quickly and easily. Commissioning of Master and Extension

All connected loads, including those of the Extensions, can be controlled manually
at the Master, whereby this function can also be deactivated via the ETS. Manual
operation: Manual control of channels --> 25
You can connect a maximum of 2 Extensions to each Master. Which extensions are
available for this purpose can be found here: Who can be combined with whom -->

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
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

The SpaceLogic KNX Switch/Blind Extension is an actuator that extends the channels of a SpaceLogic KNX Switch/Blind Master and the channels of a SpaceLogic

(such as lamps) or control a maximum of 4 blind motors with end switches. The
distribution of the functions to the channels is freely selectable and depends on
your requirements.
