Frequently Asked Questions

How do you read an existing configuration?
This is a completely different procedure depending on the type of controller.
For the CTD controllers this goes as follows:
In the SMIII via "File" or "Utilities / Setup / SD card", click on "Recover QDB from SD".
After confirmation you choose the name and location where the file should be saved. The zipped QDB file is then read from the SD card of the CTD and saved. With a positive answer to the question "Unzip and open restored QDB?", All data will then be immediately available. If the data you were still working on was not sent or saved, you will first receive a notification to do so.

For a CTL controller follow the following procedure:
Because this controller does not yet have a large memory, only limited data can be recovered. Ao the names are abbreviated to 12 characters and serial numbers are not stored anywhere.
The first step is therefore to type in ALL serial numbers via SMII via "File / Modules". These 6-digit serial numbers can be found on every module (DIN rail, switch, detector, etc.). For the SWC0x switches, an extra option was provided to have them send their serial number via “Search for modules”.
When you then click on the "down arrow", you can read all this limited information.
Always use the latest software for configuration.

It is always recommended to use the most recent version. This version supports the newest modules and resolves all known bugs.
If, for example, you enter a serial number and the correct module information does not appear, you are likely not working with the most recent software.
A newer version will always be able to open the older files (.QDB) without data loss.
The latest version of the System Manager software, along with the user manual and version history, can be found in the knowledge center.

Technical info for installers

Function description

The SEN04MLT/OUT is a decentralized bus-connectable module equipped with a motion, light, and temperature sensor for outdoor installation, based on a waterproof Passive Infrared Detector. The device is IP55 compatible and is available in a black version (SEN04MLT/OUTB).
The motion detector has an adjustable detection angle of 180° and a maximum range of 12m, suitable for outdoor use. The innovative design of the detector allows it to be mounted on both the wall and ceiling. The detection head can be adjusted from 90° to 40° downward and 90° to the left or right.
The built-in photocell can automatically send light-switching information via the bus based on predefined scenarios at a preset Lux value.
The intelligent NTC temperature sensor measures temperature with a resolution of 0.5°C and an accuracy of 1°C within a range of 63.5°C, which can be set between -20°C and 50°C (the operating temperature range of the device).
The device is connected to the bus via a screw terminal.
The Qbus configuration software is used to define whether the output is a combination of motion and light or triggered solely by motion, light, or temperature.

General

Safety regulations
Read the complete manual before installing the module and activating the system.
CAUTION
Never connect or disconnect modules while the system bus is powered.
The device must be installed and commissioned by a qualified electrician in accordance with national regulations.
The device complies with the IP55 standard, meaning it is protected against limited ingress of dust and against water jets from low-pressure in all directions.
The device must not be opened. The warranty is void if the module is opened.

Installation and wiring

Installation
Unscrew the base plate using a Philips type screwdriver.
2. Dismantle the base plate of the main housing.
3. Make a small hole in the cable guide rubbers.

4. Route the bus cable through the holes.
5. Attach the base plate to the wall or ceiling through the 2 mounting holes.
6. Connect the bus via the screw terminal.

7. Secure the main housing to the base plate.
8. Insert the screw into the housing connected to the base plate and tighten it.
ADJUST THE DETECTION ANGLE
Place the sensor head in the desired position by moving the sensor head with limited force.
Ensure that the temperature sensor is directed towards the floor.
Power supply

The SEN04MLT/OUTx is powered via the bus
IMPORTANT: THE BUS CABLE MUST BE SHIELDED AND GROUNDED! THE GROUNDING MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE GENERAL EARTHING OF THE BUILDING.
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.

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 following screen is displayed when the serial number was entered or selected.

ATTENTION!!!! : Only bistable type inputs can be controlled

Triggers

The parameters of these fields are for setting the trigger sensitivity.

First: The level of motion must be higher than this set value to activate the I/O

Keep: The level of motion must be higher than this set value to maintain the state of the I/O.

Scan: A visualization of the detector is shown. The I/O will be activated when the level is higher than the green line and will time out if it stays below the yellow line:

LED field
You can select when the built-in red LED will be activated, based on the motion or light level or both.
"Timers" field
Extension: Corresponds to the extension of the period during which the I/O’s remain activated. The smallest possible timer value is 2 seconds.
Lock:
This sets the period of time the sensor will lock (and will not activate the I/O) after the I/O has become inactive.
Fields "Input x"
Movement: Activation of the sensor due to the movement.
Light:
If ‘Movement’ is checked, this additional option "light", will only activate the I/O if the light level is lower than the set value. This is useful to prevent the I/O from being activated during the day. The threshold value can be set with the buttons or slider. When only this option is checked (without ‘Movement’), the I/O will only be activated if the measured light value is HIGHER than the set threshold value.
The current light value will be displayed with a yellow or black bar via the “Read values” button. When the threshold value is in the colored bar, the I/O will be activated.
