5.3.9 Configuration examples of the digitalSTROM Devices
5.3.9.1 Light (yellow)
Configuration for all digitalSTROM terminal blocks LightTKM, KM, SDS, SDM, UMV
Change current device valueIn the
device setup dialogue (
Fig. 37) for the digitalSTROM light terminal block (yellow), the following parameters are available for the respective digitalSTROM Meter:
"Value"
The current device value (0-100 %) can then be changed by using the slider or by entering the value directly. In addition, the device value can be changed by using Increase value and Decrease value in 5 % increments. For the digitalSTROM relay terminal block Shade (grey) each actuation of Increase value/Decrease value will execute a small motion step.
Changing the device value in the dialogue will lead directly to a changed output value of the digitalSTROM Device.
Min will set the current device value to 0 %.
Max will set the current device value to 100 %.
With Select previous device and Select next device, you navigate directly to the next or previous digitalSTROM Device in the list.
Use this dialogue to test the connected digitalSTROM Devices or to set the device values of all digitalSTROM Devices in a room before saving them in an activity/preset.

Editing device properties "Output“
Determines the operating mode of the power output of the digitalSTROM terminal block. The setting is only shown in the Edit device properties dialogue if the selected digitalSTROM terminal block is equipped with a power output.
"Switched"
The output is switched to 0 % (off) or 100 % power (on).
"Dimmed"
The output power varies between 0-100 %.
Use only for operation of dimmable loads!
"Deactivated"
The digitalSTROM Device is not considered by the digitalSTROM Meter during the setup of presets and activities. Use this setting if no load is connected to the terminal block.
Additional configuration options for the digitalSTROM terminal block (GE-KM), push button block (GE-TKM), line dimmer (GE-SDS), UMV
Editing device properties"Push button“
"Device push button“
The device push button always switches/dims with 1x click/hold down, a device connected to the output 1.
"Area push button"
The area push button always switches/dims digitalSTROM Devices belonging to the same area in a room with 1x click. All other devices in the room are not affected.
"Room push button"
The room push button always switches/dims digitalSTROM Devices belonging to a room with 1x click.
Additional configuration options for the digitalSTROM line dimmer (GE-SDS200)
Editing device properties"Function“
For the digitalSTROM line dimmer GE-SDS200 with two push buttons, which can be operated together or individually, there are the following functions:
"1-way"
Both push buttons are operated as one (joint) single push button in the application area Light. Here, the line dimmer is listed as a single device in the device list.
"2-way"
Both push buttons are operated as 2-way push button for the application area Light. Here one push button is used as On-push button, the other as Off push button. Thus, dimming functions, for example, can be realised even more easily. Here, the line dimmer is listed as a single device in the device list.
"1-way + joker push button"
One push button is used as 1-way push button in the application area Light. Here, the configuration is performed in the list of devices at the line dimmer GE-SDS200.
The configuration of the joker push button is performed at the line dimmer with the hardware data SW-SDS200 (shown additionally in the device list). The application area of the joker push button can be chosen as needed.

Editing device propertiesAdvanced settings
| The Advanced settings can be shown or hidden by using the corresponding arrow. |
In the Advanced settings dialogue the following parameters are available:
"Used presets"
Determines which presets are used for the selected digitalSTROM push button block for 1x click/2x, 3x, 4x click:
For device push buttons the following presets are fixed.
• Device/preset 2-4
For area push buttons, presets can be used as follows:
• Area 1/Preset 2-4 or Preset 12-14
• Area 2/Preset 2-4 or Preset 22-24
• Area 3/Preset 2-4 or Preset 32-34
• Area 4/Preset 2-4 or Preset 42-44
For room push buttons, presets can be used as follows:
• Presets 0-4
• Presets 10-14
• Presets 20-24
• Presets 30-34
• Presets 40-44
• The preset 10, 20, 30 and 40 in the factory setting corresponds to Off.
For a quick overview of the current configuration, the used presets are displayed in form of a list:
"1x click"
Specifies if 1x click applies to a connected device, the devices in an area or the preset in the room.
"2x, 3x, 4x click"
Visualises the used presets for 2x, 3x, 4x click.
Configuration of the digitalSTROM-UMV
The digitalSTROM GE-UMV200 has four output channels that are all listed individually in the digitalSTROM configurator as output in the devices. All outputs can be configured individually.
In the dialogue editing device properties, you can, as described above, configure the push button (device push button, area push button and zone push button. You can also configure the following parameters.
"Output“
The output of LED lamp or fluorescent lamp can be switched (on or off), dimmed 1-‑10 V, dimmed 0-10 V or deactivated.
Please note that the choice of dimming (dimmed 0-10 V or 1-10 V) depends on the ballast of the fluorescent lamp. You will find more information on this on the ballast/dimming of your connected lamp.
"Load cut-off“
The load cut-off controls the complete switching off of a connected illuminant, converter or ballast by means of a relay. The following options are available:
• Never
Connected illuminants, converters or ballasts are supplied with mains power continuously so that the response times are minimal when switching on the light.
Please note that power is consumed continuously for this.
• if output 1 off
Connected illuminants, converters or ballasts are disconnected if output 1 is switched off.
• if all outputs off
Connected illuminants, converters or ballasts are disconnected if all outputs are switched off.
• Device off (LED)
Connected illuminants, converters or ballasts are disconnected if the LED of the dS-UMV200 is switched off, e.g. when activating the presets "deep Off" or "sleeping“".
