Parameters for switch-on/switch-off behaviour

Up to two time functions can be set independently of each other for each group and single device. The time functions apply only to the communication objects "Switching - Setting" or "Central function... - Switching" (if the central function is assigned to the group or single device) and delay the received object value depending on the telegram polarity.

This parameter must be activated so that the time delays can be used.

The configurable switch-on/off behaviour includes the soft functions as well as the automatic switch-off function.

The soft-functions permit a group or a single device to be switched on or off at reduced speed if a switching command is received via the communication objects "Switching - Setting" or "Central function... - Switching". If the soft ON function is activated, a dimming procedure is executed until the switch-on brightness when switching on. This also occurs if the group or single device is already switched on to a brightness value lower than the switch-on brightness. Likewise, with the soft OFF function, a dimming process is executed to 0% brightness when receiving an OFF telegram.

The switch-off function allows a group or single device to be automatically switched off after a brightness value was dimmed or jumped to and this new brightness value is below a switch-off brightness set in the ETS. A delay can be configured optionally until switching off.

This parameter must be activated so that the soft functions and the automatic switch-off function can be used.

This parameter activates the switch-on delay. After receiving an ON telegram by means of the object "Switching - Setting" or "Central function... - Switching", the configurable time is started. An OFF-telegram received during the switch-on delay will end the delay and set the switching status to "OFF".

This parameter defines the delay time for the switch-on delay. It is available only if the switch-on delay is enabled.

This parameter defines whether a running switch-on delay can be retriggered. It is available only if the switch-on delay is enabled. Another ON telegram retriggers the time only if this parameter is activated.

This parameter activates the switch-off delay. After receiving an OFF telegram by means of the object "Switching - Setting" or "Central function... - Switching", the configurable time is started. An ON-telegram received during the switch-off delay will end the delay and set the switching status to "ON".

This parameter defines the delay time for the switch-off delay. It is available only if the switch-off delay is enabled.

This parameter defines whether a running switch-off delay can be retriggered. It is available only if the switch-off delay is enabled. Another OFF telegram retriggers the time only if this parameter is activated.

This parameter activates the soft ON function. If the soft ON function is activated, a dimming procedure is executed until the switch-on brightness when switching on.

This parameter defines the dimming speed for the soft ON function. It is available only if the soft ON function is enabled.

This parameter activates the soft OFF function. With the soft OFF function activated, a dimming process is executed to 0% brightness after receiving an OFF telegram.

This parameter defines the dimming speed for the soft OFF function. It is available only if the soft OFF function is enabled.

This parameter activates the switch-off function. The switch-off function allows a group or single device to be automatically switched off after a brightness value was dimmed or jumped to and this new brightness value is below a switch-off brightness set in the ETS.

The switch-off brightness must be defined for the switch-off function. As soon as a dimming process causes a value to fall below the configured switch-off brightness and the brightness has been set to constant, the group or single device switches off or alternatively starts the delay until switching off.

The switch-off brightness in the dimmable brightness range must be set between the configured maximum and minimum brightness. Automatic switch-off does not take place if "Switch-off brightness = Minimum brightness" is set, since the switch-off brightness cannot be undershot. The switch-off function is always active if the switch-off brightness is configured to maximum brightness and the maximum brightness is undershot by dimming.

This parameter is available only if the switch-off function is enabled.

A time delay can be activated before the switch-off function switches-off automatically after undershooting the switch-off brightness at the end of a dimming procedure. If the function is activated, the gateway triggers the delay time as soon as the dimming process causes a value to fall below the configured switch-off brightness and the brightness has been set to constant. The group or single device concerned switches off once the delay time has elapsed. The delay time can be re-triggered by further dimming procedures.

This parameter is available only if the switch-off function is enabled.

This parameter defines the delay time for the switch-off function. It is available only if the delay time is enabled.
