Description
The conventional inputs module, depending on the status of the two dedicated
inputs, sends radio controls to the RF CHORUS series actuators, such as:
• 3A output modules,
• 16A output modules,
• motor control output modules.

Channel 1 input
(white wires)
The module is provided with a green signal LED (A). The two inputs (B-C) are
dedicated to the connection of contacts, without potential, of control appliances
(buttons, switches, sensors, etc.). The module is powered at 230 V.
A rotary switch (D) is used to select the operating mode, valid for both input channels.

Configuration
All that is required to make the association with an output module is to close the
input contact of the channel to be combined after having set the output module to
learn configuration. The input channels can be associated independently to distinct
actuators, except in the case when COMBINED INPUTS is to be used. In this case both
channels must always be associated to each output module. Each association can be
made independently of the operating mode selected at that time.
Operating
The module's operating mode is determined by the position of the rotary switch.
Combined inputs mode
The combined inputs mode (switch in position 0) is used to connect the module to
a pair of monostable buttons or an interlocked double button, which must operate in
combination. By connecting the contacts of an interlocked double button to the
inputs, it is possible to:
• in combination with a 3A or 16A output module, configured for BISTABLE
operation, for example to control lights, switching on the lights (ON) by pressing
the button connected to channel 1 and switching off the lights by pressing the
button connected to channel 2;
• in combination with a motor control output module, controlling the raising of a
roller blind by pressing the button connected to channel 1 and its lowering by
pressing the button connected to channel 2. The roller blind is stopped by pressing
either of the two buttons when it is in motion.
In combined inputs mode, combinations are possible with actuators configured for
MONOSTABLE operation (ON when the channel contact is closed and OFF when it is
opened) and TIMED (ON when the channel contact is closed and automatic off when
the set time has elapsed).
Status mode
The status mode (switch in position 1) is used for connecting the module to the NA
contacts for automatically controlled device. For example, by connecting one input to
the contact (NA) of a clock, it is possible to:
• in combination with a 3A or 16A output module, configured for BISTABLE
operation, start/stop the watering of a garden depending on the status of the
contact (closed/open).

For example, by connecting the other input to the contact (NA) of a twilight sensor, it
is possible to:
• in combination with a motor control module, control the raising/lowering of a sun
blind depending on the status of the contact (ON/OFF).
In status mode the module periodically (10 minutes) retransmits the command even
if there are no status changes to the input contact. Repetitions of messages are
ignored by the motor control actuator. Combinations with actuators configured other
than as described above are not possible in status mode.
Inversion mode
The inversion mode (switch in position 2) is used to connect the module to NA
contacts to generate cyclic ON-OFF commands. For example, by connecting a button
(NA) to an input, it is possible to:
• in combination with a 3A or 16A output module, configured for BISTABLE operation,
activate and disactivate charges, cyclically, each time the button is pressed.
By connecting another button to the second input, it is possible to manage a further
group of charges in the same way. Combinations with actuators configured other
than as described above are not possible in inversion mode.
ON mode
The ON mode (switch in position 3) is used to connect the module to NA contacts
and to generate the ON command only. For example, by connecting one input to the
contact (NA) of a gas sensor, it is possible to:
• in combination with a 3A or 16A output module, configured for BISTABLE operation,
command the closing of an NA solenoid valve after the sensor has cut in.
For example, by connecting the second input to a button (NA), it is possible to:
• in combination with a 3A or 16A output module, configured for TIMED operation,
for managing staircase lights, for example, to switch on the lights (ON) by pressing
the button. The lights are switched off (OFF) automatically when the time set on
the actuator has elapsed.
Combinations with motor control actuators (e.g. for raising a roller blind when the
channel is closed) are possible in ON mode.
OFF mode
The OFF mode (switch in position 4) is used to connect the module to NA contacts
and to generate the OFF command only. For example, by connecting one input to the
contact (NA) of a water sensor, it is possible to:
• in combination with a 3A or 16A output module, configured for BISTABLE operation,
command the opening of an NC solenoid valve after the sensor has cut in.
Combinations with motor control actuators (e.g. for lowering a roller blind when the
channel is closed) are possible in OFF mode.

Installation
The conventional input modules have inset installation, using the special Chorus
series supports.
The protection level can be maintained, even for installations other than inset (e.g. in
junction boxes, inside devices, etc.) by using the terminal cover.
Attention: the conductors of the two input channels are live when the output
module is powered up.
