3. Produktüberschreitungview
The MDT BE-08230.02 is an 8-fold binary input module for KNX systems. It allows the integration of conventional 230V AC signals from switches or contacts into the KNX bus, enabling control of various KNX devices based on the status of these inputs.

Abbildung 1: Front view of the MDT BE-08230.02 Binary Input 8-fold module. It features screw terminals at the top for input connections, eight LED indicators (A-H) corresponding to each input, a 'Prog.' button for KNX programming, and regulatory markings including CE and KNX logos. The model number BE-08230.02 and 'Binary Input 8x 230V AC' are clearly visible.
3.1. Komponenten
- Input Terminals (A-H): Screw terminals for connecting external 230V AC contacts or switches.
- LED Indicators (A-H): Each LED corresponds to an input and indicates its current status (e.g., ON/OFF).
- Programming Button (Prog.): Used to put the device into KNX programming mode.
- Programmier-LED: Indicates the programming status.
- KNX Bus Connector: Located at the rear for connection to the KNX bus.
- DIN-Schienenklemme: For mounting the device on a standard DIN rail.
4. Installation (Einrichtung)
4.1. Montage
- Ensure the main power supply is disconnected before starting installation.
- Mount the MDT BE-08230.02 module onto a standard 35mm DIN rail in a distribution board. The device occupies 4 TE (standard width units).
- Sorgen Sie für ausreichende Belüftung rund um das Gerät.
4.2. Verkabelung
- Connect the KNX bus cable to the KNX bus connector at the rear of the device.
- Connect the 230V AC contacts or switches to the input terminals (A-H) at the top of the device. Each input requires a connection to the phase (L) and neutral (N) of the 230V AC supply, with the switch/contact interrupting the phase line. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the device for specific details.
- Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Verbindungen sicher und ordnungsgemäß isoliert sind.
4.3. Inbetriebnahme
- After all wiring is complete and checked, restore the main power supply.
- Use the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) to configure the device parameters, such as input functions (e.g., switching, dimming, blinds control), debounce times, and object assignments.
- Press the 'Prog.' button on the device to put it into programming mode. The programming LED will illuminate.
- Download the configured application program from ETS to the device.
- After successful programming, the programming LED will turn off, and the device will begin operation according to the configured parameters.
5. Bedienung
The MDT BE-08230.02 operates by detecting the status of the connected 230V AC contacts or switches. When a contact is closed (e.g., a light switch is pressed), the corresponding input detects the 230V AC signal. This signal is then converted into a KNX telegram and sent onto the bus, triggering the configured action (e.g., turning on a light, opening blinds).
- Input Status LEDs (A-H): These LEDs provide visual feedback on the current status of each input. An illuminated LED typically indicates that the corresponding input is active (e.g., 230V AC detected).
- Programmiertaste: This button is primarily used during the initial setup and configuration process with ETS. It is not used for daily operation.
6. Wartung
The MDT BE-08230.02 Binary Input module is designed for maintenance-free operation. No regular maintenance is required.
- Reinigung: If necessary, clean the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspektionen: Periodically check the terminal connections for tightness, especially after initial installation.
- Firmware-Updates: Any firmware updates, if available, should only be performed by qualified personnel using the appropriate tools and procedures.
