Parameters of the “dimming” parameter card
Function
Parameter | Settings |
|---|---|
Function | 1 button dimming 1/2 button dimming On/brighter 1/2 button dimming Off/darker 2 button dimming |
Function:
This parameter determines whether a dimming actuator can be controlled by one or any two push push-buttons.
The following settings are possible:
- 1 button dimming:
This function is only available if the "Single” option has been selected for the selected channel in the device settings.
“Function of channels A + B”
This function makes it possible to switch a light/lighting group on and off and dim it brighter/darker with just one push-button. A distinction is made between short and long presses of the push-button: - Switching UM (short press of the push-button)
With a short press of the push-button, the value that is in the switching object (switching UM) is inverted and the telegram “on” or “off” is then sent when the push-button is released. - Dimming brighter/darker (long press of the push-button)
A long press of the push-button dims brighter or darker, depending on the object value and the dimming direction last controlled. If the dimming actuator was switched off, a long press of the push-button switches it on and dims it brighter. If the dimming actuator was previously switched on by a short press of the push-button, it is dimmed darker by the first long press of the push-button.
When the push-button is pressed again for a long time, the dimming direction last operated is inverted and then dimmed in the new direction. When the push-button is pressed for a long time, the “100% dimming” command is sent via the dimming object, and when the push-button is released, the “stop” command is sent. - 1/2 button dimming On/brighter:
This function is only available if the "Single” option has been selected for the selected channel in the device settings.
"Function of channels A + B” parameter
This function allows to perform 2-button dimming with any two push-buttons. A short press of the push-button sends the telegram “On” and a long press of the push-button sends the command “dim 100% brighter." When the push-button is released, the “stop” command is sent. - 1/2 button dimming Off/darker:
This function is only available if the "Single” option has been selected for the selected channel in the device settings.
"Function of channels A + B” parameter
This function allows to perform 2-button dimming with any two push-buttons. A short press of the push-button sends the telegram “off” and a long press of the push-button sends the command “dim 100% darker." When the push-button is released, the “stop” command is sent. - 2 button dimming
This function is only available if the "Pairwise” option has been selected for the selected channel in the device settings.
"Function of channels A + B” parameter
This function makes it possible to perform 2-button dimming with any two push-buttons, where the push-buttons are connected to two adjacent channels.
A short press of the push-button on one of the two push-buttons sends the telegram “off” and a long press of the push-button sends the command “Dim 100 % darker." When the push-button is released, the “stop” command is sent.
A short press of the push-button on the other push-button sends the telegram “on” and a long press of the push-button sends the command “dim 100% brighter." When the push-button is released, the “stop” command is sent.
Other parameters:
If "1/2 button dimming On/brighter", "1/2 button dimming Off/darker” or "2 button dimming” is selected, the parameter "Toggle function” also appears.
Availability:
The "Function” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
- Parameter "Function channel” or "Function channels” on the "functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Dimming”

Toggle function
Parameter | Settings |
|---|---|
Toggle function | disable enable |
Function:
This parameter can be used to set whether the inverse object value of the switching object is to be sent with each short press of the push-button (toggle).
The following settings are possible:
- disable:
If the push-button is pressed briefly, no inverse object value is sent. - enable:
When the push-button is pressed briefly, the inverse object value of the switching object is sent.
Availability:
The "Toggle function” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
- Parameter "Function channel” or "Function channels” on the "functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Dimming”
- Parameter "Function” on the "dimming” parameter card
- Setting: "1/2 button dimming On/brighter", "1/2 button dimming Off/darker” or "2 button dimming"

Dimming mode
Parameter | Settings |
|---|---|
Dimming mode | Dimming with stop telegram Cyclic dimming |
Function:
This parameter determines in which mode dimming takes place.
The following settings are possible:
- Dimming with stop telegram:
With this setting, a “dimming 100% brighter” or “dimming 100% darker” telegram is sent when the push-button is pressed for a long time. When the push-button is released, the “stop” telegram is sent. The dimming actuator receives the “stop” command and the current brightness is maintained. - Cyclic dimming:
With this setting, a “dim brighter” or “dim darker” telegram with the step size 1/8 (12.5 %) is sent every 0.5 seconds when the push-button is pressed for a long time, for as long as the push-button remains pressed (i.e., dimming from 0 % to 100% and vice versa is possible in 4 seconds).
Note:
With "Cyclic dimming” the bus load is greater than with "Dimming with stop telegram” due to more frequent sending of telegrams.
Availability:
The "Dimming mode” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
- Parameter "Function channel” or "Function channels” on the "functions, objects” parameter card
- Setting: “Dimming”

Detect long key press after
Parameter | Settings |
|---|---|
Detect long key press after hh:mm:ss.f | 00:00:00.3 ... 00:00:07.0 |
Function:
This parameter sets the duration of a long press of the push-button. After the set time has elapsed, the press of the push-button is considered long and the telegram is sent.
Availability:
The "Detect long key press after” parameter is displayed when the following configurations have been made:
- Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
- Setting: "Single” or "Pairwise"
- Parameter "Function channel” or "Function channels” on the "functions, objects” parameter card
