5.4 EMC compliant installation box / panel Below only installation boxes are mentioned. Panels are included. Introduction One purpose of the installation box is to reduces electromagnetic interference. The influence depends on the internal and/or external EMC interference. The internal EMC disturbance can be, for example, an inverter in the same installation box; an external disturbance a nearby RF transmitter. The installation boxes are the reference point for shielding cables and housings.
5.5 EMC compliant wiring Below only installation boxes are mentioned. Panels are included. Wiring rules If heavy EMC disturbance is expected in an installation box or in the building, the following wiring rules can better protect TRA devices: Installation box wiring · In the installation box, separate unshielded lines from shielded lines at the terminal connections and cable ducts. · Avoid cable loops. · Plan sufficient space to correctly connect the cable screens.
Attaching cables to the installation box Strain relief of cables is done on the outside of the installation box. Attaching cables in the cabinet Cable screens for screened/shielded wiring must be installed as close as possible to the cabinet inlet on its metal structure and connected to the building's ground system. The following illustrations display the correct connections for shielded and unshielded cables to the screen and cable fastening rails.

7 Wiring of field devices (without bus) This section describes the wiring between the room automation station / the TX-I/O module and the field devices. 7.1 Signal wiring The following applies in common for signal wiring of field devices such as temperature sensors, window switches, presence detectors, dew point sensors or electrical buttons, as well as DC 0...10 V devices: Cable material · Use stranded, 2 or multiple core round cables, without screen (standard off-theshelf installation cable).
7.1.1 Common ^ conductor with multiple contacts Connection diagram (Example) Digital inputs When several status or counter contacts are to be connected, a common ^ conductor may be used. This saves wiring. However, system ground must be connected at least once per room automation station / per TX-I/O module.

7.1.3 Active sensors and actuators DC 0 … 10 V The permissible length of DC 10 V cables for signals, and of the cables to supply the devices, have to be calculated on the following basis for each device (see also the relevant device data sheets): – Max. 7 % voltage drop (1.68 V) on the cables due to the sensor supply current. Reason: to ensure sufficient voltage for the device supply. – Active sensors: Measuring error of max. 0.
These devices have an internal rectifier, to convert AC 24 V to DC 24 V. This causes a DC current to flow in the system neutral conductor (^) which causes a voltage drop over the line resistance. This voltage drop falsifies the DC 0...10 V signal value. The cable length must be reduced to limit the signal error (0.5% for sensors, 1% for actuators). Cable length for devices with AC/DC 24 V Sensors Cable cross section Power 2 2.50 mm / AWG14 1.50 mm2 / AWG16 1.00 mm2 / AWG18 0.
7.2 Wiring for Triac outputs AC 24 V The following applies for wiring to actuating devices such as valves, damper actuators or protection connected to the Triac outputs: Cable material · Use stranded, 2 or multiple core round cables, screened (standard off-the-shelf installation cable). · Single wires may not be used. Cable laying · Wiring may be laid together with power lines (AC 230 V). They must be isolated from the power lines per regulations. Isolation must meet PELV requirements.
7.3 Wiring for Relay outputs · External fuse of max. T 10 A for protection of the PCB tracks. · The maximum load of the relay contracts must be observed (see data sheets for the corresponding devices). It may require a fusing <10 A. · Relays have volt-free relay contacts. The mains voltage / switching voltage (AC 230 V / AC/DC 24 V) must be supplied as an external voltage to the terminals. · The lines must be secured on the device with strain relief.
8 Electrical features of inputs & outputs 8.1 Digital inputs Digital inputs are not electrically isolated from the system electronics. Mechanical contacts must be volt-free.

12 Island bus This chapter is only a brief overview of the island bus installation. The TX-I/O engineering and installation guide 10562 [7] includes detailed information on island bus wiring and island bus extension for PXC3 room automation stations and TX-I/O modules. · Island bus and island bus expansion are designed for indoor use in one building only. · PXC3 room automation stations each have switchable TX-I/O DC 24 V / 600 mA module power supply. They are switched on at the factory.
13 KNX PL-Link room bus · The KNX PL-Link bus must be inside the building. The cables must never leave the building. · The KNX PL-Link bus facilities communications from the PXC3 room automation station to a maximum 64 devices on the KNX bus devices for various manufacturers. · Note: The number of devices is also limited by the number of data points and the available bus power. Bus power is incremented during engineering with the ABT tool.
13.1.2 External bus supply If the 160mA of the PXC3 / the 50 mA of the DXR2 are insufficient to cover the power demand of the connected devices, the internal bus power supply must be switched off via tool and replaced by an external bus power supply unit (PSU). Power supply units for 80,160, 320 and 640 mA available in specialty stores. The total power supply for the devices must be calculated to determine the appropriate size. Comply with the corresponding details in the datasheet.
13.2 Bus topologies Up to 64 devices with KNX PL-Link can be installed on one line (main line as well). No restrictions apply to the type mix. 64 devices on one line Notes · There is no need to calculate the bus load number E for up to 64 devices. · A maximum of 64 devices may be installed even if devices requiring less power are used. Permissible bus topologies Permissible bus topologies are: Tree, line, and star topologies. These topologies can be mixed as needed.
13.3 Cables Bus cable selection + KNX KNX The bus lines (= twisted pair) are connected via PL+ (red) and PL– (black). - + - AC 24 V T Bus lines Choose the bus cable as per country-specific offerings. Comply with values indicated in this document under "Technical data KNX PL-Link". AC24V for field supply can be provided in the same (2 x 2 stands) or in a separate cable.
Notes Power supply AC 24 V PXC3 only · At least one supply (internal or external) is required for each line, and max. two supplies (external) are allowed per line. · Install the power supply unit as close to the network center as possible to achieve maximum line size. · The distance between the device and the next neighboring PSU may not exceed 350 m / 1100 ft. As a result: Even if the power demand from the devices does not require it, two power units must be used depending on the line length.
13.5 Technical data KNX PL-Link KNX bus Transmission medium (bus cable) Baud rate Bus line polarity Bus terminating resistor Communication signal The communication signal (information) is transferred symmetrically, i.e., as voltage difference between the two bus lines (and not as a voltage difference to the earthing potential). The sign preceding the voltage between PL+ and PL– determines signal values 0 and 1.
14 DALI network · The DALI network allows the PXC3 room automation station to communicate with DALI ballasts and sensors. · DALI is a two wire bus. The signal conductors can be in the same cable as the AC 230 V power for the lights, or in a separate bus cable. · The PXC3 possesses a DALI bus supply to power DALI devices. Additional information Detailed information is available on the DALI homepage at www.dali-alliance.org. 14.
NOT admissible: · 28 lights with onboard sensor 28 x (2mA + 5 mA) = 196 mA · 50 lights, 1 sensor per 2 lights 50 x 2 mA + 25 x 5 mA = 225 mA 14.2 Bus topologies DALI devices in a circuit Up to 64 DALI ballasts and 63 DALI-2 sensors may be installed on one DALI circuit. No restrictions apply to the type mix. Permissible bus topologies Permissible bus topologies are: Tree, line, and star topologies. These topologies can be mixed as needed. However, ring topologies are not allowed.
The overall length is 300 m / 1000 ft for a wiring cross-section of at least 1.5 mm2. Admissible cable lengths Note . Regulations The permissible voltage drop off over the DALI line and the terminals is a maximum of 2 V. The voltage drop off over the DALI line is typically 90% of 2V (1.8V) and via the terminals 10% of 2V (0.2V). Must comply with low-voltage installation regulations since the DALI signal is not SELV.

The room device stops transmitting if the energy store is not charged sufficiently and/or the battery is empty. 100% functionality cannot be guaranteed under all circumstances. There are simply too many possible sources of interference, both legal and illegal, impacting range tremendously.
Definition: Illuminance Brightness refers to how the human eye perceives the intensity of a light source. Brightness is measured in Lux [lx]. The human eye can perceive various light sources with the same brightness. Depending on the technology, solar cells have varying degrees of efficiency for daylight and artificial light. Fluorescent lights require at least 30% greater brightness to generate the same level of charging as daylight.

15.3 Battery operation This section refers to room units equipped with solar cells. Normally, ambient light suffices to charge the energy store required to operate the room device. If, however, lighting conditions at the mounting location are insufficient to meet guide values provided in Section 15.2 "Lighting conditions at mounting location", insert a battery in the battery holder. This ensures device operation even under unfavorable lighting conditions. Use a lithium button cell battery (type CR2032).
A radio signal's strength decreases with distance as it is sent in all directions. In addition, other factors influence the radio signal strength. Radio signal range Below are a few examples of interference and attenuating impact of different materials. Material: Wood, gypsum, uncoated glass Brick, pressboards Reinforced concrete Metal, aluminum lamination Transmitter Metal Passage of radio signals 90...100 % 65...95 % 10...90 % 0...
15.5 RF signal range Planning RF networks Since RF signals are electromagnetic waves, the field strength at the receiver decreases as the distance to the transmitter increases, in other words, the RF range is limited. Any materials in the transmission field reduces the range accordingly. RF waves do penetrate walls, but dampen the strength versus pure line of sight.
RF signal shielding Metal surfaces reflect electromagnetic waves, e.g. metal partitions and metal ceilings, massive steel reinforcement in the concrete walls and metal foils from insulation. Creating RF shading in a "silent zone". Individual, thin metal strips have little impact, for example, strips in a gypsum drywall. Metal surfaces Mounting a transmitter directly on a metal surface (e.g. panel doors, steel door frames) prevent the free transmission of the RF signal.
Penetration angle The angle at which a transmitted signal hits the wall plays an important role. The effective wall strength and thus the dampening of the signal depends on the angle. The signals should run vertical to the walls as much as possible. Avoid wall recesses as much as possible. Solution Eliminate excessively flat penetration angles by repositioning the transmitter and/or receiver antenna or use a repeater.
>10 cm >4 in Mounting magnetic foot antenna Tip Mounting patch antenna When laying the antenna cable it is important not to bend the cable, causing irreparable damage (reduction in performance caused by a change to wave resistance). A "active antenna" is a RF receiver with integrated antenna. It communicates with an actuator unit, for example, via a simply RS485 cable (RS485 Gateway).
Field strength measuring equipment Off-the-shelf field strength measures devices that easily find the best mounting locations for transmitter and receiver. Faulty connection from previously installed devices can also be reviewed. The RF telegrams and disruptive RF signals are displayed in the relevant frequency range.

15.6 Range planning RF range is typically limited by fire protection walls that are considered shielding. Within fire protection areas, light walls or glass partitions with solid RF properties are often used. Avoid metal reinforcement or metalized glass!. The following diagrams illustrate how to implement a reliable RF plan in three steps.
STEP 3: Draw range circles · The center of the circle represents the ideal position for RF gateways. · This allows for a shield-free connection in all corners of the fire protection section (possible sensor positions). Real-world experience suggests that unfavorable conditions and shortcomings are commonplace. Planning at 10-12 meter radiuses provide a high level of security; against future changes to environmental changes as well (light walls, furniture, personnel in the room, etc.).
15.7 Troubleshooting Trouble free operation of the devices is normally guaranteed if you follow all the notes on the selection of mounting locations for transmitters and receivers. The following overview of potential problems may help should problems nevertheless arise: Transmitter is not received Check with EPM100 In close proximity to the transmitter (distance approx. 20-50 cm / 10-20 in), the EPM 100 does not receive any transmission telegrams.
Transmitter is occasionally not received Check with EPM100 In close proximity to the receiver antenna (distance approx. 20-50 cm / 10-20 in), the EPM 100 receives transmitter telegram at the limits. Trigger transmission telegram, the corresponding LO/HI LED is unlit on the EPM. (HI for flush-mount receiver; LO for receiver with external antenna). Possible cause and solution a) Transmitter is within the limits of the transmitter. Move the transmitter or receiver antenna or use a repeater.
15.8 Commissioning RF link For operation, the connection to the gateway must first be set up. See data sheet N1661 (Gateway EnOcean/LonWorks) or N1662 (Gateway EnOcean/KNX). Send "Init" telegrams The LEARN button is located on the lower section of the housing below the battery. Press this button to create and immediately send a complete learning telegram. The current switching status of LEARN – pressed – is also transmitted.
16 Disposal The device is considered an electronic device for disposal in accordance with the European Guidelines and may not be disposed of as domestic garbage. · Dispose of the device through channels provided for this purpose. · Comply with all local and currently applicable laws and regulations.
