The Faradite KNX coupler provides a KNX interface for our range of TAP front plates. The brings both the TAP-1 and TAP-5 switch front plates, and all the sumptuous finishes available, into the the KNX system.

The KNX coupler boasts a huge range of great KNX features and each button can be configured to send any of the function types available on the product including Switching, Dimming, Scenes, Blinds, and advanced data types. This makes the KNX coupler a powerful option for the KNX integrator looking to offer incredible functionality from the aesthetically stunning TAP switch range.

The internal temperature sensor gives accurate, fast temperature reporting the KNX bus, allowing for zonal; temperature control to be achieved without the need for any other bulky, standalone temperature sensors in the room. Threshold objects are available for further temperature monitoring functions.

The humidity sensor provides building protection options so ventilation systems can be used to remove any, potentially harmful humidity from the room. Humidity threshold options can be used to control MVHR systems to boost the extraction and re-circulate the air to balance the humidity.

The halo light that gently illuminates the outer edge of the switch can be configured to provide visual feedback of each button press, or it can be controlled via KNX group object. This means it can be used as a status light for anything in the KNX system such as, doorbell notifications, alarm status, and many others.

The KNX Coupler can be installed directly in round EU back boxes and square UK back boxes, and the back of the coupler only requires XXmm clearance in the back box.

Below are just a few examples of how the keypad can be configured

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Discrete triggering of configured scenes from the outer four buttons with a simple toggle all on / all off in the central button.

Simple, effective and beautiful.

Dim SOME

This configuration is great for users that desire a dynamic way of setting the lighting levels each time they use the room.

Press and hold the upper buttons to dim the light circuits up, release to set the dimming level that is required. Or a single tap on the upper buttons will turn respective light circuit to full brightness.

The middle button is single button dimming for both lights - if any lights are on, at any value, a tap on the middle button will turn all lights off. If no lights are on then the middle button will bring all lights to 100% brightness.

HVAC on TAP

Ensure users are in absolute comfort by using the HVAC controls available with the KNX switch.

In this example we have added a heating comfort mode and economy mode selection as well as a heating boost button if users want to boost the heating.

The advanced options allow for control of other devices such as MVHR units, here we have the example of a temporary circulation boost button.

The centre button here is used for single button dimming.

SHADing made great

Put shading controls right at the users fingertips with easy control over various blinds/shades in the room.

The KNX switch allows for single button operation or discrete up and down options depending on the project requirement.

The centre button here is used for on/off toggle of the main light.

ADJUSTABLE HALO LIGHT

The switch provides visual feedback upon touch from the beautiful halo light that sharply illuminates the outer edge of the switch. Upon any button being pressed, the halo light can pulse to confirm the switch press. Additionally the halo light can be controlled via 1-bit and 1-byte KNX group objects to provide the KNX integrator more options in their projects.
