Stand-Alone Analogue control Module

• Function description

  The ANR04SA is suitable for switching 4 analog dimmers (0/1-10V or PWM) or 4 relays (16A each) or a combination of both. Each analog output controls a relay contact that switches off when the analog output is at 0%. These dimmers can be used for controlling LEDs, fluorescent lamps, fans, etc. It is also possible to use the relays as an ON/OFF output for controlling lights, sockets, etc. And all this without a controller and programming. By default, the ANR04SA outputs are set in Dimmer-mode with a minimum dim level of 10%.

  In case heavy loads or two-pole applications are connected, contactors must be added. A relay contact of the ANR04SA will then activate the coil of the contactor. The module also has 5 potential-free inputs for connecting standard push buttons. Input 1 to 4 operate output 1 to 4 respectively, input A is a scene input that performs an ALL OFF scene when pushed for 0.7 seconds (and then released), and a PANIC SCENE (All On) when pushed for 3 seconds (keep pushing). By default, the inputs are set as push buttons.

  The module also includes 4 LED outputs for feedback on the switches. For this, an external power supply (from 5-24V, depending on the LEDs used) must be installed. It is also possible to configure the ANR04SA via a Qbus controller and then remove the Controller. In this way, the outputs can be set in standalone mode with a delayed ON, delayed OFF or time OFF (=Timer 1) function (if the output is used as a Relay). If the output is used as a dimmer or PWM, a Time OFF, Minimum Dim Level and DimStart (level when turning on dimmer output) can be set.

  Inputs 1-4 always work as a push button if the output is in dimmer or PWM mode. If an output is in relay mode, the inputs can be set as Normally Open, Normally Closed, push button, and switch. Input 5 (the scene input) can only be set as NO, NC, and push button.

  When the ANR04SA is used as part of a Qbus home automation installation (thus with a controller), the function of the inputs and outputs can be further adjusted via the Qbus configuration software. Note: inputs 1 to 4 will always operate only outputs 1 to 4 and thus cannot be used to control other outputs. For the scene input "Input A" a scene output must be assigned when using the ANR04SA with the controller.

  If the module is restarted after a power interruption, the outputs will return to their last position. A two-pole automatic circuit breaker of maximum 16A must be connected to the module's power supply.

  Read the full manual before installing the module and activating the system. 

  WARNING 

  • The module must be installed, started, and maintained by a certified electrical installer in accordance with the applicable legal requirements of the country.
  • This module is only suitable for DIN-rail installation EN50022. The module must be installed in a fireproof, enclosed distribution box with ventilation grilles.
  • Before working on the ANR04SA, the power supply must be switched off.
  • Only one phase is fused. Even if the fuse has blown, voltage may still be present in the module.
  • The module must not be opened. The warranty is void if the module is opened!

Installation and wiring

• Installation

  Snap the module onto a DIN rail DIN EN50022.
• Power Supply

  ATTENTION: DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE MODULE BEFORE WORKING ON THE MODULE!
  A two-pole circuit breaker of a maximum of 16A must be connected to the module power supply of 230Vac. Conductor cross-section: minimum 1.5mm². Strip approximately 7mm of insulation from the conductor and screw the conductor into the L-N connector.

• Load

  Connect the loads to the output connectors. The cross-section of the conductor at maximum load: minimum 1.5mm². Remove approximately 7mm of insulation from the conductor and screw the conductor into the connectors OUT1 – OUT4. If sockets are connected to a relay, a separate contactor must be connected (2P/20A contactor is required).

• SA Inputs

  Strip approximately 7mm of insulation from the cable and insert the cable into terminals 1 to A. Both solid and stranded wire between 0.5 – 1.5 mm² can be used; for stranded wire, a screwdriver must be used to press the terminal when inserting the wire. Inputs 1/2/3/4 respectively control outputs 1/2/3/4. Input A is preset as a scene input: releasing the button connected to this input after pressing it for 0.7 seconds switches all outputs to the off status; holding this input for more than 3 seconds switches all outputs to the on status. Wires can be removed from the terminals by pressing at the top of the terminal with a screwdriver.

• Stand-Alone LED feedback

  An external 5-24Vdc power supply can be connected to the ANR04SA to provide LED feedback for, for example, the directly connected push button(s).

• BUS connection

  It is recommended to use the Qbus cable or any other cable with a minimum of 2 conductors of 1mm² as the bus cable. The green shielded EIB cable can also be used if the conductors are paired to achieve a minimum cross-section of 2 x 1mm².

Wiring diagram

• Stand Alone

  Option 1: As Stand-Alone

  Multiple ANR04SA modules can be linked with each other or with other modules from the SA range (REL04SA, DIM04SA, DIM02SA).

  Option 2: multiple drivers
• With Qbus Controller

  Option 3: Hybrid 1x driver 2x push button

  Option 4: With controller as part of a complete Qbus system

• SA-configuration

  The buttons on the module are used to directly control the output from the module or to choose the mode of the output (Dimmer, Relay, PWM) or to set the minimum dim level of a dimmer output. By default, the output is set as a Dimmer with a minimum dim level of 10%. To change this, the following procedure must be followed: 

  1) Ensure that all outputs are OFF (= all orange LEDs are off). 

  2) Press button 1 and 2 simultaneously for five seconds. 

  3) The red STATUS LED on the module will blink rapidly for 5 seconds, and then begin to blink at a slower pace. 

  4) After the STATUS LED begins to blink slowly, release one of the buttons, and release the other button two seconds later. The red STATUS LED continues to blink: the module is in configuration mode. 

  5) The outputs are set by default as dimmer. If the outputs need to operate as Relay (ON/OFF) or as PWM, this can be set by pressing the button of the respective output several times. The orange LED lights up each time it is pressed. See the table below - next to the mode is the number of times the button must be pressed:

  Mode	Number of presses
  Dimmer	1
  Relay (ON/OFF)	2
  PWM inverse	3
  PWM positive	4

  If the buttons are not pressed for 4 seconds, the module will automatically exit the configuration mode - the red STATUS LED will stop flashing. 

  6) For dimmer and PWM mode, the minimum dimming level can also be set in Stand-Alone mode. Follow steps 1) to 4) again to enter configuration mode. See the table below for how many times you need to press for each minimum dimming level (you cannot dim below this level - to be used if certain lighting starts to flicker at very low dimming levels):

  Minimum Dim Level (DimMin)	Number of presses
  0%	5
  10%	6
  20%	7
  30%	8

  If one of the buttons is pressed for 5 seconds during setup mode, the respective channel will be set to DEFAULT mode (Dimmer mode and 10% minimum dim level). A successful RESET is indicated by the LED of that channel flashing QUICKLY 10 times. The setup mode remains active. 

  NOTE: the choice of output mode and (if dimmer or PWM) the minimum dim level must be done in SEPARATE steps. Put the module in configuration mode, select the load (press 1 to 4 times), exit configuration mode, enter configuration mode again, and then select the minimum dim level (press 5 to 8 times).

• via System Manager III

  Each modules has an unique serial number. By this number the System Manager recognizes the modules.

  This is completely explained in our knowledge center.

  The analog dimmer modules are used to control external dimmers with input voltages 0-10V /1-10V. The only difference between ANA04 and ANR04SA is that the former type contains no relays, while the ANR04SA has relays through which the loads connected to the external dimmer can be completely isolated when the I/O is set to 0%. In the case of the ANA04, the lamp connected to the dimmer may still be lit, depending on the minimum I/O of the dimmer.

  Bistable I/O’s can also be used on the ANR04SA.

   

  Both the ANA04 and the ANR04SA are recognized by the system manager by a unique serial number. The programming is similar. Both can be configured as a 1B dimmer or as a 2B dimmer. The following explanation of programming and operation applies to the two modules.

   

  When you have entered the serial number of an ANR04 in the window of the modules, the following window will appear.

  The same as the REL04SA and DIM0xSA, this module can also work completely standalone. The settings as shown below are then also applied.

  As with the other Qbus Stand-Alone modules, if the module is used in Stand-Alone mode, the fifth input (Input 5 (All Off/On) will act as an All Off button (press briefly), and as a Panic button at long push.
  As soon as the module is no longer used in Stand-Alone mode, i.e. if it is connected to a controller and is supplied with voltage via the bus, the fifth input will work differently. Now a scene must be created via the System Manager and assigned to this input (on the field “Input 5”). This scene is then executed with a short push. PLEASE NOTE, with a long press the next scene in the list of created scenes in the Qbus System Manager is automatically executed. So make sure to take that into account!

  
  IMPORTANT:
  - if several Stand-Alone modules are interconnected on this fifth input, only 1 module may be assigned a scene – for all other connected modules the scene input (Input 5) must remain empty!
  - For the scenes used in the 5th entrance of SA modules, NO DELAY TIMES may be set at the scene level itself. The delay times are entered here in the module screen.

  The I/O’s can be activated from the system manager by pressing the Test or Up/Down key, and the current status can be consulted by pressing the "Read value" key.
