📖 Operating Instructions

Installation and setup require the ETS (Engineering Tool Software) platform:

1. KNX Commissioning: The panel must be addressed and programmed using ETS software to map group addresses (GA) to specific control functions on the touch interface.

2. Web Configuration: The device includes a web-based interface for customizing the graphical user interface (GUI), such as uploading custom floor plans, icons, and room layouts.

3. Mounting: Ensure the flush-mounting box is perfectly level during the rough-in phase. Use the provided installation frame to ensure a clean, seamless finish on the wall.

4. Power Supply: Ensure the 24V DC power supply is sized correctly to handle the power requirements of the panel, especially if the device is used for continuous video streaming (e.g., from a door station).

5. Firmware: Always use the latest firmware available on the Busch-Jaeger portal to ensure compatibility with modern KNX devices and enhanced cyber-security features.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes the ComfortTouch from a standard wall switch? Unlike a simple switch, the ComfortTouch acts as a gateway and visualizer. It processes logic, stores scheduling information, and provides a visual status of all connected devices across the entire KNX network.

Is it compatible with non-KNX systems? While natively designed for KNX, the panel can interface with other systems (like Sonos, Hue, or security cameras) provided those systems can communicate via IP/Ethernet or through a KNX-gateway.

Can I customize the visual interface? Yes. The ComfortTouch® software allows users or integrators to design individual “pages” with custom buttons, background images, and real-time status indicators.

What is the “Web-Server” function of this unit? The integrated web server allows you to control the panel remotely from a tablet or smartphone via a standard web browser, making it a portable version of your wall-mounted control center.
