KNX a technology
and its unlimited possibilities
Whether universities, schools, or other administrative and office buildings, nursing homes and
hospitals, museums, hotels, or private homes KNX makes more of it. The advantage of a KNX
installation is its versatility. Via KNX, all building functions can be linked, programmed, and controlled.
Starting with heating, ventilation, and room climate control, via lighting and shading, up to alarm,
safety and information systems. All these functions can be controlled automatically via intelligent
sensors, manually at the control units inside the rooms, or centrally via a visualisation in the house,
or in the move via smartphone or tablet.

Theben, KNX and the KNX Association the fieldbus and its history
KNX stands for "Konnex" or "Connectivity" (connection), and it is a fieldbus for building
automation. KNX resulted from merging the European organisations EIBA, EHSA, and BCI,
which strived for a common standard of the back then existing field buses. Today, KNX
is the global standard for house and building automation (ISO/IEC 14543). Worldwide,
there are more than 44,000 trained KNX partners in 125 countries. The directives for KNX
technology are defined and regulated by the KNX Association, to which today over 370
companies belong, worldwide. KNX thus stands for extremely high investment and future
security.
Theben joined the association as one of the first members, and as a member of the
Executive Committee, actively influences the development of KNX technology. Since 2015,
Theben is also a member of the KNX Technology Committee. Theben a competent partner
all around KNX.

from Theben makes it possible. device, and you can switch lights, dim the light, control sun protection or regulate the
heating using the modules of your choice. Window and door contacts, as well as
switches and push buttons can be integrated via the binary input.
This clever combination saves space in the distributor, and cash. Why: Only the KNXMIX2
base module has a bus coupler. It can be removed and is quickly and easily replaced, if
required. It is also cheaper, because the extension devices can be easily connected to it.
Only Theben offers this.
The KNX MIX2 series is ideal for the automation of rooms and single-family houses.
For example, if you want to control lighting, sun protection, and heating.
Apart from the flexible, because easily expandable, KNX MIX2 series, there is the in-
expensive compact KNX FIX2 version for less complex applications ideal for use in
public buildings, offices, functional and administrative buildings, or even in hotels and
schools (see pages 20/21).
Removable intelligence: Only the KNX MIX2

base module has a bus coupler to which the
extension modules can be connected. If needed,
it can be easily removed and replaced.

MIX2 benefits at a glance
1. Removable bus coupler

The installer fits the base module (G), the system integrator confi-
gures the bus coupler at the office, comfortable and practical.
Just before start-up, the module is simply plugged in done. That
is cheap, because for installation and wiring it is not absolutely
essential that an installer with bus knowledge be on site.
2. Inexpensive extension devices

As only the base module is fitted with a bus coupler, this reduces
the costs for the extension devices (E) and due to the saved
system devices by up to a third. It pays off. Especially in property
construction. Count it up!

KNX presence
and motion detectors
for energy-efficient
lighting control
With the Theben presence detectors, you have every option for energy-efficient and intelli-
gent lighting control. In addition to classic use for lighting control in offices, corridors and
public buildings, you can also control heating and air-conditioning depending on presence.
This lets you save energy costs and considerably reduce CO2 emissions.
Presence detectors work according to the same principle as motion detectors: They detect
thermal radiation in their surroundings, that is in their detection area. If thermal radiation is
detected in the detection area, for example caused by a person approaching the presence
detector, the presence detector converts the radiation into a measureable, electric signal,
and the light is switched on.
The difference between motion and presence detectors lies in the sensitivity of the sensors.
Presence detectors have much more sensitive sensors than motion detectors and detect
the smallest of movements. The sensitive sensors divide the detection area evenly into up
to 1000 zones. Like on a chessboard, the zones run through the entire detection area. Even
minimum changes in the thermal image, such as typing on the keyboard in an open-plan
office, will be detected.
Light measurement is another difference. A motion detector measures brightness once,

when the light is switched on because of a movement. Presence detectors measure the
brightness permanently: If a set brightness value is exceeded, the presence detector
switches the light off or dims it down even if it detects movement.
In contrast to presence detectors

coverage of rooms without
unnecessary overlappings or gaps.

Twilight is predictable. In the morning, in the evening. One can adapt to it. It sounds simple, but it is
not especially if the KNX installation has to be programmed accordingly. Many parameters have to
be observed. The season, sunrise and sunset, the daily brightness values, the weather conditions.
But it is possible. Especially with Theben. For instance in front of entrances, accesses or on parking
lots of companies, industrial plants, administrative buildings or housing areas. That is, in applications
in which lighting is required especially at the start and end of work.
Here, KNX lighting controls from Theben create clear accents and provide orientation. Exactly then,
when it is needed. Outdoor and of course indoor.

Pioneering lighting concepts,
which are appreciated
everywhere
It feels good to come home, and the light goes on long before you reach the door. It feels
safe, to have orientation light in the garden or on the parking place. It is convenient to find
the way in corridors of hotels or nursing homes during the night, because softly dimmed
light never leaves you in the dark.
With Theben, comfort can be created easily with theLuxa P KNX motion detectors and
universal dimmer actuators, which always provide the desired brightness. Even at a specific
period of time in the morning, in the evening, or at night. Permanently or temporarily.
With specific brightness values or with certain responses and time delays.
Basic principle of orientation light

In the morning and evening hours,
a basic lighting of 40% provides 100%
orientation. When motion is detected,
the brightness is switched to 100%.
After a time delay, the lighting is softly

Benefits at a glance
1. Large detection area and universal applications
The outdoor motion detector theLuxa P300 KNX has a large detection area of up to 16 m and a separate
creep under protection.
It is suited for ceiling installation and wall mounting. Corner brackets for the installation at inner and outer
corners, as well as spacer frames for lateral cable routing are included in the scope of supply.

2. Sophisticated applications
theLuxa P300 KNX features change over between alternative values for brightness and time delay,
which allows different values to be considered for different times of the day and situations.
The most important settings, such as brightness and time delay, can be changed during operation via
the KNX objects.
In the universal dimmer actuator DMG 2 T KNX, various dimming curves are stored, which correct the
dimming response appropriately, depending on the lamp used, thus ensuring stepless and flicker-free
dimming of LED lamps.
3. High investment security

Due to additionally up-loadable dimming curves, the universal dimmer actuator DMG 2 T KNX can also
be adapted to future lamps.
T he dimming output of the universal dimmer actuator DMG 2 T KNX is 2 x 300 W/VA or 1 x 500 W/VA.
If more output is required for future lamp developments, this can be achieved by connecting up to
4 dimming boosters in parallel, to up to 2000W/VA.
46
Dimming actuator DMG 2 T KNX
dims like no other
Whether LEDs, halogen, or energy saving lamps the universal
dimmer actuators dim everything that can be dimmed: steplessly,
smoothly and flicker free. With the KNX software ETS, Theben
provides optimally tuned dimming curves for every lamp up-
datable for future lamps. The dimming output is 2 x 300 W/VA or
1 x 500 W/VA. This dimming actuator, which can be expanded by
two modules, is considered one of the best on the market.
Dimming booster DMB 1 T

does 'watt' you want
If the output of the dimming actuator is not sufficient, the dimming
booster comes into play: Connected in parallel, the output can be
increased to up to 700W/VA. In the maximum expansion stage with
four dimming boosters, this is 2000W/VA.
Motion detector theLuxa P KNX

responds to every movement
This motion detector has a very large detection area of up to 16 met-
res. An advantage, especially with large building complexes, because
a few detectors will suffice, in order to cover large entrance areas,
parking lots, or accesses. It can be mounted on walls, or ceilings.
Many of its functions, such as brightness and time delay can be easily
changed with theSenda remote control, from the ground. Even more
convenient from the sofa: via the KNX visualisation theServa.

Constant lighting conditions
Implemented across systems
We all sense temperature differently. Similarly, we all sense brightness differently: Too bright or
too dark are elastic terms, and are understood in a different way by each individual.
However, we all know that light is an important asset. For several years, a growing number of
experts has pointed out the health aspects of poor lighting, in numerous studies.
The challenge has been clearly defined: On the one hand, it is important to save energy and to
lower CO2 emissions. On the other hand, we want to permanently create good lighting conditions,
under which people can work in a focussed manner without health burden. Theben offers you
the appropriate solution.
50
Energy saving interplay
of two open standards
Whether open-plan offices, classrooms, or seminar rooms: Near the window it is bright,
while it is darker inside the room. Dusk and dawn, or rainy weather increase the effect.
KNX building automation with constant lighting control ensures homogenous and energy
efficient lighting conditions, which incorporates the DALI lighting control.
For this, Theben provides the two critical components: thePrema P360 KNX presence detec-
tors, which optimally cover large rooms, thanks to their large and square detection area, and
the DALI Gateway KNX, which forwards the KNX telegrams from the presence detectors to
the DALI participants.
With the three directed light measurements, the brightness situation is exactly determined
by thePrema P360 KNX. In this way, it is possible to implement a separate constant light
control for each of the two groups of lights. The large saving potential: Thanks to the square
detection area, less presence detectors usually cover the rooms better. This saves time and
money for devices, installation and programming. Due to the exact light measurement and
the corresponding lighting control via DALI Gateway KNX, highest energy efficiency is pre-
programmed.
With the DALI Gateway KNX, 64 DALI participants can be divided into up to 16 group of
lights. Between the lamps and the KNX building automation, information is exchanged
bidirectionally. The advantage: The lamps cannot only be controlled, but failures of the
EBs or lamps can be displayed in the KNX visualisation theServa.
Directed light measurement

Thanks to its differently aligned HVAC

light measurement, the presence group A group B
detector thePrema P detects the
solar radiation and controls the
lighting group near the window
independently of the lighting group
in the interior of the room.
51
Theben KNX brightness control
in the functional building
High detection quality

T he presence detectors thePrema P and theRonda P feature four, partly overlapping, passive infrared sensors.
The overlapping ensures a very close-meshed coverage, which reliably even detects sedentary work with only
little motion.
Optimised energy consumption

T he functions "Short-term presence for passage ways" and "Adaptive time delay" optimise the energy savings
and thus significantly reduce energy consumption.

T he light can be controlled fully automatically via the detector, depending on the individually desired setting.
Or semi-automatically: Here, the light can be switched on via the light switch.
Switching off is done by the presence detector.
Greater comfort and flexibility

With the presence detectors thePrema and theRonda, the most important settings, such as "time delay" and
"brightness threshold" can be changed during operation via KNX objects.
With the KNX visualisation theServa, parameters with an input object can be changed any time without ETS.
Failures of the EBs or lamps can be displayed in the KNX visualisation theServa.
52
Presence detector thePrema P KNX
has everything under control
A 360 detection area of 10 x 10 metres, an adaptive 3 channel mixed
light measurement, and 3 light channels are only a few features
which make thePrema P KNX the ideal presence detector for KNX
building automation. The detector shows its brilliance if it does not
only control the lighting, but also heating, ventilation and air conditio-
ning via its two separate presence channels.
Presence detector theRonda P KNX

draws everyone into its circle
theRonda P KNX is an excellent addition to thePrema P KNX. Especi-
ally, if not only classrooms, but other large spaces, such as assembly
halls, or the sports hall should be integrated into the KNX building
automation. theRonda P KNX has a large, circular detection area of
24 m in diameter, and is suited for all applications with unusual room
geometries, such as fan-shaped concert halls, or events halls.
DALI Gateway KNX

joins light and automation
The DALI Gateway KNX combines the DALI protocol of digital lighting
control with the building automation across rooms. It controls up to
64 operating units with DALI interface and assigns a DALI address to
each DALI participant. The DALI participants can be combined in up
to 16 groups of lights, and be controlled via KNX, individually or via
scenes. Which lamps shine full of atmosphere at which brightness, or
in which RGB colour, all this can be controlled via the DALI Gateway
KNX.
Push button interface TA 4 KNX

intervention desired
In some cases it makes sense to be able to manually intervene into
an automatic lighting control. For instance, in order to permanently
switch on or off the light at the blackboard in the classroom. The
push button interface with 4 binary inputs provides the option of
using conventional push buttons and switches.

Theben KNX blind controls
Position of the sun, sunlight, and blinds
which always respond correctly
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west but in between and over the year, it shows a surprisingly
variable course, which takes its different effects on houses, functional buildings, and the people, who live
and work inside.
For some people it is quickly too warm, others are blinded by the incident sunlight. Those who want to
create constant lighting and temperature conditions, and ensure an efficient working atmosphere, find
exactly the right components in the KNX building automation from Theben, which counteract the complex
interplay of sun position, azimuth, and elevation: sun protection with sun position tracking.
All this is very energy efficient: Because in winter, the solar energy is used to reduce heating costs, and
in summer, the cooling effort is reduced by correct shading.
56
Sun position tracking for
better glare protection
The temperature is 21 degrees Celsius, the wind speed is 7.5 kilometres per hour, it is very
bright and there is no rain in short: It is a beautiful sunny day. Data like these are sent
by Meteodata140 S GPS KNX to the Theben multifunction display VARIA 826 S KNX inside
the individual rooms and to the MIX2 blinds actuators in the switch cabinet and shading
in accordance with the supplied GPS positioning is done.
Basically, it is all just a question of programming: What is the position of the facade in
relation to the course of the sun? At which time of the day does the sun appear in the
defined protection zone, and when does it leave it? And, how does it change its position in
the course of the day and in the course of the year? The elevation shows the height of the
sun, the azimuth shows the direction, from which the sunlight comes. The interplay of GPS
weather station, multifunction display and KNX MIX2 blinds actuator reliably ensures that there
are always pleasant lighting conditions on the sunny side of the facade without dazzling.
One should not forget the positive effect on climate control, since an accurate shading pro-
tects against overheating and reduces energy costs for cooling control. All this, of course with
highest safety: Because during storm, ice, and frost, the blinds move up automatically.
The advantage of the Theben KNX solution: In contrast to other suppliers, the measured data
are processed directly inside the weather station. An additional module is not necessary.
Slat adjustment
In case of high solar radiation, the position of the slats is automatically adjusted to
the course of the sun. Dazzling and directly incident sunlight is thus avoided, without
excluding the daylight completely.
57
Theben KNX blind controls
go with the sun
1. Less components reduced costs

In contrast to most other suppliers, the processing of the measured data and sun position tracking takes
place directly inside the KNX weather station Meteodata 140 S GPS KNX. An additional control module is
not necessary.

T he weather station protects the awnings against frost, storm or rain, and moves them into a safe position.

Passive houses with internal blinds benefit from blinds actuator JMG 4 T 24 V: The 24 V version is ideal for
this type of application.
2. Adaptable

T hrough the transparent housing of the KNX Meteodata weather station, the background colour of the facade
shines through, so the weather station harmoniously blends with its surroundings.
3. Energy saving comfort

T he sun position tracking ensures very pleasant and glare-free working.
T he heating and cooling support contributes to reducing the energy consumption during each season.
58
Weather station
Meteodata 140 S GPS KNX
exactly calculates the position
of the sun
The connection of combined sensor, weather station and integrated GPS
receiver makes Meteodata 140 S GPS KNX a true weather expert.
Azimuth and elevation are calculated automatically. Temperature,
rain, wind, and brightness are exactly detected. Thanks to the three
brightness sensors, the weather station is suited for sun protection
control of up to eight facades. Meteodata140 S GPS KNX is installed on
the sunny side of the facade, and the area to be protected is defined
symmetrically or asymmetrically in a range of up to 180. Wherever
the sun, there will be reliable shading.
Blinds actuator JMG 4 T KNX

provides optimum glare protection
This actuator positions the slats at the optimum angle. Any time of
the day. The MIX2 base module controls drives of blinds, roller blinds,
sun and vision protection devices, skylights and ventilation flaps. It is
expandable with two extension modules to up to 12 channels.
Combinations with actuators controlling lighting, heating or other
functions are also possible. Perfect, when it comes to perfectly tune
lighting, room temperature, and sun protection.
Multifunction display VARIA 826 S KNX

keeps you up to date on all data
The VARIA 826 S KNX displays all data coming from the weather
station. Of course, the display allows direct access to the blinds
if it should be darker or if more light is desired. Independent of this
specific sun protection application, the VARIA 826 S KNX, as a freely
configurable multifunction display with room thermostat, is also sui-
ted for controlling heaters, blowers and air conditioners. The display
is backlit, has an integrated time switch, and is available in black or
white.

Air quality control from Theben
Fresh air helps students concentrate
No matter what you are doing you can concentrate properly when the air is stuffy. The right
atmosphere is essential to study in. The AMUN 716 KNX air quality sensor enables just that.
The AMUN 716 KNX monitors the rooms temperature, humidity and CO2 levels. Once it is configured
it will automatically ensure the optimum air quality whilst keeping energy consumption to a minimum.
That way everyone can benefit from clean air and a comfortable environment to work in.
62
Educationally valuable:
temperature control with
CO2 measurement
A KNX installation only makes real sense if it is used for building automation across rooms.
For instance, for temperature control in six classrooms. Theben's solution consists of a
weather forecast receiver, a time switch, as well as heating actuators and room air sensors.
Meteodata 139 KNX* provides reliable weather forecasts for the next three days. These
data are fed into the KNX bus in 6 hour blocks via telegram. In the classrooms, the CO2
sensor AMUN 716 KNX measures the room temperature, the relative humidity, as well as
the CO2 content of the air. The heating actuator controls the heating in accordance with
indoor and outdoor temperature.
Under mild weather conditions, the system changes to summer mode, and lowers the ener-
gy consumption. If a window is opened, the frost protection mode is started. Comfort mode
is activated by pressing the presence button. In each situation, the students inside the
classrooms enjoy constantly pleasant temperatures. Additionally, the room sensor indicates
the air quality via CO2 measurement, and when it is time to air the room again. The heating
control can be controlled via multifunction display VARIA 826 S KNX, or theServa. The system
can be extended to up to twelve rooms.

The AMUN 716 KNX CO2 room air sensor also measures air humidity and temperature, apart from the CO2 concentration in the range
of 09999ppm.
63
Theben KNX room climate control
considers temperature, air quality,
and energy consumption
1. Less devices, less installation effort
T he HMG6TKNX heating actuator features an independent and fully-fledged room thermostat for each
channel. The room temperature is transmitted by the corresponding CO2 sensor AMUN 716 KNX from the
individual rooms to the heating actuator. This reduces equipment costs, since a separate room thermostat
is not needed for each room.
2. Controlling sun protection with foresight, optimising energy consumption

B y taking the weather forecast of Meteodata 139 KNX* into account, an overheating of rooms due to solar
radiation can be avoided, by a foresightful use of the shades. Inversely, a solar heat gain can be achieved
by moving the hangings up early in these rooms.
Also the energy demand for domestic hot water can be optimised by using weather forecasts.
64
Heating actuator HMG 6 T KNX
variably controls heat and cold
This MIX2 base module has integrated heating controllers for
controlling six thermal actuators. It is expandable by up to two
extension modules to up to 18 channels. The control of the
actuators is done via silent and wear resistant Triac semiconductor
switches. Continuous or switching actuating values are selectable.
Temperature control is done in accordance with the indoor and
outdoor temperature, according to the comfort, night, frost or
heating protection modes. If you do not only control the heating:
It can be combined with all extension modules of the MIX2 series.
Weather forecast receiver

Meteodata 139 KNX*
predicts what the weather will be like
The weather forecast receiver considerably contributes to minimise
heating costs, to use sunshine and heat effectively, and to control
the sun protection with foresight. From HKW, it receives licenced
weather forecasts for the next three days via long wave. In this way,
Meteodata 139 KNX* can tell whether the weather will be "fine",
"cloudy", "rainy", or "stormy". Via telegram, the receiver sends the
data to the corresponding KNX actuators, which depending on the
weather control blinds, lighting, or, as in this case, the heating with
foresight.
Room air sensor AMUN 716 KNX

exactly detects air quality, exactly
The CO2 room air sensor monitors the air quality, and signals or
responds appropriately to critical room conditions. It has three inde-
pendent, configurable thresholds for CO2 concentration, humidity, and
for temperature. If a threshold is exceeded or fallen below, the device
shows the respective state or sends a signal to the heating actuator.
The AMUN 716 KNX is supplied by the bus voltage. A power supply is
not necessary.
Time switch TR 648 top2 RC KNX

switches correctly, automatically
The digital time switch has GPS positioning, as well as a yearly and
Astro program for automatic calculation of sunrise and sunset times
over the entire course of the year. Summer/winter change over,
holiday no problem: This time switch has everything under control
with its numerous yearly functions, and it synchronises itself with the
other bus sharing units around the clock. So the right things happen
always at exactly the right time.

Maximum energy efficiency
from beginning to end
We still use most of the energy for heating. Even if the share in private houses is higher than in
functional or administrative buildings: In both cases, the lion's share of energy costs is consumed
by heating.
Inside the individual rooms, we control the temperature with valves, room thermostats, and
presence detectors. In this way, energy savings of up to 6% can be achieved by lowering the
room temperature by only one degree in unoccupied rooms. The heating system itself does not
respond to changes of this kind. It provides heat, no matter if it is currently needed or not.
Theben has gone one step further. With a needs-oriented heating control from the individual
room up to the boiler.
68
Needs-oriented and
energy saving
temperature control
Theben now bridges the world of heating and KNX home and building automation. With the
KNX-OT-Box S interface, Theben establishes the connection between both systems.
With this, consumptions can be displayed in the KNX visualisation. However, the decisive
advantage is the direct access to the central heating control.
In this way, the flow temperature can be optimally set in a needs-oriented manner. By
taking all rooms into consideration. Even more: The energy-optimised legionella protection
prevents unnecessary heating of the storage tank to the legionella protection temperature.
The effect: maximum energy savings. This is not only good for our environment, but also
for your wallet.
Flexible: Combined with the RAMSES 856 top2 OT heating control, even boilers without
OpenTherm interface can be completely integrated into the KNX installation.
Connecting worlds
The Theben KNX-OT-Box connects the
OpenTherm bus, commonly used with
gas heaters, with the KNX bus. The ad-
vantage: The boiler cannot only be
visualised in the KNX system, but can be
completely controlled by the KNX system.
69
Theben KNX heating control

1. Needs-oriented individual room control
T he KNX-OT-Box S not only allows pilot room control, but also needs-oriented flow optimisation
by considering all rooms.
2. KNX controls boilers

D
ue to the direct access from the KNX system to the OpenTherm boiler, the boiler cannot only be
visualised, but its complete control can be accomplished by the KNX system. In combination with
heating controller RAMSES 856 top2 OT, it even works with boilers without OpenTherm interface.
3. Energy saving domestic hot water

Heating domestic hot water with a solar power system helps save energy, as for instance the amount
of sunshine expected according to weather forecasts can be taken into account for domestic hot water.
Beyond that, the energy-optimised legionella protection prevents unnecessary heating of the storage
tank to the legionella protection temperature.

Actuator CHEOPS control KNX

allows maximum energy savings
This motorised actuator can virtually think: It controls heating valves
and room temperature very precisely and stepless easily recogni-
sable via the LED visualisation. If the window is open, it switches off
the heating. During an automatic calibration traverse, it recognises
the most common valves. It only needs a bus line, but no actuator.
This simplifies installation, avoids additional cables and pays off in
daily use by optimum energy usage.
KNX-OT-Box S
builds a bridge to the world of heating
Two field buses, one installation the connection in between is this
little box, which enables the bidirectional exchange of data between
the OT boiler and the heat distribution via the KNX system.
The KNX-OT-Box S allows needs-oriented and weather-compensated
flow control, control of domestic hot water, and much more. It even
provides a legionella protection program. As practical as with the
MIX2 actuators: Also here, the KNX bus module can be removed,
replaced and programmed, independently of the device.
