Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung geht von einem gemäß Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs konzipierten elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerät für die Gebäudeinstallationstechnik aus. Die Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines solchen Installationsgerätes.The present invention is based on an electrical / electronic installation device for building installation technology designed according to the preamble of the main claim. The invention also relates to a method for operating such an installation device.

Derartige elektrische/elektronische Installationsgeräte sind in der Regel dafür vorgesehen, auf besonders komfortable Art und Weise, eine Vielzahl von in Gebäuden installierte Aktoren, beispielsweise elektromotorische Antriebe von Jalousien, Markisen, Rollläden und so weiter bedarfsgerecht zu beeinflussen. Zu diesem Zweck sind unterschiedliche elektrische/elektronische Installationsgeräte bekannt geworden. Oftmals bestehen solche elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgeräte baukastenartig aus einer Einsatzeinheit und einem unter Zwischenschaltung eines Abdeckrahmens auf die Einsatzeinheit aufsteckbaren Aufsatzeinheit Typischerweise ist die Einsatzeinheit so dimensioniert, dass diese in eine handelsübliche Installationsdose eingesetzt werden kann. Die Aufsatzeinheit eines solchen elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerätes bildet die sichtseitige Oberfläche und weist typischerweise die zur Beeinflussung der angeschlossenen Aktoren notwendigen Bedienelemente auf. Typischerweise ist die Einsatzeinheit zum Anschluss an ein mehrere Anschlussleitungen aufweisendes Installationssystem vorgesehen und kann auch zum Anschluss an ein Bussystem geeignet sein.Such electrical / electronic installation devices are usually provided to influence a large number of actuators installed in buildings, for example electromotive drives for blinds, awnings, shutters and so on, in a particularly convenient manner. Different electrical / electronic installation devices have become known for this purpose. Such electrical / electronic installation devices often consist of an insert unit and an attachment unit that can be plugged onto the insert unit with the interposition of a cover frame. Typically, the insert unit is dimensioned so that it can be inserted into a commercially available installation box. The add-on unit of such an electrical / electronic installation device forms the surface on the visible side and typically has the operating elements required to influence the connected actuators. The insert unit is typically provided for connection to an installation system having a plurality of connection lines and can also be suitable for connection to a bus system.

Durch den Katalog 2011 der Firma Albrecht Jung GmbH & Co. KG, Seite 130 bis 136 ist ein dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches entsprechendes elektrisches/elektronisches Installationsgerät bekannt geworden. Dieses elektrische/elektronische Installationsgerät besteht aus einer zum Anschluss an ein Installationssystem vorgesehenen Einsatzeinheit und besteht aus einem unter Zwischenschaltung eines Abdeckrahmens an der Einsatzeinheit über einen Steckverbinder und über Halteelemente festlegbaren Aufsatzeinheit, welche Aufsatzeinheit im Wesentlichen aus einem die zur Funktion notwendigen elektrischen/elektronischen Bauteile aufnehmenden Sockelteil besteht, an welchem eine Bedieneinheit angeordnet ist, über welche einem Installateur und/oder Benutzer die Beeinflussung angeschlossener Aktoren ermöglicht wird.An electrical / electronic installation device corresponding to the preamble of the main claim has become known through the 2011 catalog from Albrecht Jung GmbH & Co. KG, pages 130 to 136. This electrical / electronic installation device consists of an insert unit provided for connection to an installation system and consists of an insert unit with the interposition of a cover frame on the Insert unit via a plug-in connector and an attachment unit that can be fixed via holding elements, which attachment unit essentially consists of a base part which accommodates the electrical / electronic components required for the function and on which an operating unit is arranged, via which an installer and / or user can influence connected actuators.

Bei der Installation solcher elektrischer/elektronischer Installationsgeräte kann erst nach dem Verdrahten der Anschlussleitungen mit der Einsatzeinheit, dem Montieren der Einsatzeinheit in einer Installationsdose und dem Zuschalten der Versorgungsspannung überprüft werden, ob die elektromotorischen Antriebe hinsichtlich ihrer durch das elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerät vorgegebenen Bedieneinheit laufrichtungsgerecht angeschlossen wurden. Für den Fall, dass sich die Laufrichtung des elektromotorischen Antriebes entgegengesetzt zur vorgegebenen Bedieneinheit verhält, muss dies korrigiert werden. Dies erfolgt bei derartigen elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgeräten umständlich durch Abschalten der Versorgungsspannung, Demontieren der Einsatzeinheit aus der Installationsdose, Umverdrahten der beiden Anschlussleitungen welche die Laufrichtung bestimmen, erneute Montage der Einsatzeinheit in die Installationsdose, Zuschalten der Versorgungsspannung und Durchführen eines erneuten Testes zur Überprüfung der Richtigkeit der Laufrichtung. Eine solche Vorgehensweise verursacht einen hohen zeitlichen und montagetechnischen Aufwand.When installing such electrical / electronic installation devices, it is only after wiring the connection lines with the insert unit, mounting the insert unit in an installation socket and switching on the supply voltage that it is possible to check whether the electromotive drives are connected in the correct direction with regard to their operating unit specified by the electrical / electronic installation device were. In the event that the direction of rotation of the electric motor drive is opposite to the specified operating unit, this must be corrected. With such electrical / electronic installation devices, this is done in a laborious manner by switching off the supply voltage, dismantling the insert unit from the installation socket, rewiring the two connection lines that determine the direction of travel, reassembling the insert unit in the installation socket, switching on the supply voltage and performing a new test to check the correctness the direction of travel. Such a procedure causes a high expenditure in terms of time and assembly technology.

Aus DE 2 751 646 A1 ist eine Steueranordnung für mehrere Elektromotoren zur Betätigung von Jalousien, Markisen oder dergleichen bekannt, wobei diese Steueranordnung dazu dient, auf eine besonders leichte und bequeme Art sicherzustellen, dass zum vollständigen Öffnen oder Schließen der Jalousie bzw. Markise der entsprechende Schalter nicht permanent gehalten werden muss, sondern ein bequemerer Betrieb ermöglicht wird. Hierzu wird in einem ersten Schritt die Spannungsversorgung des Motors durch Schalterbetätigung unterbrochen und durch zwei weitere Schalterbetätigungen, durch die zwei Relais angesteuert werden, eine Änderung des Drehsinns des Motors bewirkt.Out DE 2 751 646 A1 a control arrangement for several electric motors for actuating blinds, awnings or the like is known, this control arrangement serving to ensure in a particularly easy and convenient way that the corresponding switch does not have to be held permanently to completely open or close the blind or awning , but a more convenient operation is made possible. For this purpose, in a first step the voltage supply to the motor is interrupted by actuating a switch and a change in the direction of rotation of the motor is effected by actuating two more switches, which control two relays.

Aus DE 43 12 613 A1 ist ein elektronischer Steuerbaustein zum Antrieb von Stellgliedern bekannt, der sowohl über eine Auswerteelektronik als auch eine eine Laststufe aufweisende Umschalteinheit verfügt. Bei diesem Steuerbaustein erfolgt eine Umsetzung der vom Signalgeber kommenden Steuersignale in eine an unterschiedliche Stellglieder angepasste Ansteuerung, die beispielsweise eine Auf-/Absteuerung einer Jalousie oder eine Verstellung des Anstellwinkels derselben bewirkt.Out DE 43 12 613 A1 an electronic control module for driving actuators is known which has both evaluation electronics and a switching unit having a load stage. In this control module, the control signals coming from the signal generator are converted into a control adapted to different actuators, which for example causes an up / down control of a blind or an adjustment of the angle of attack thereof.

Ferner ist aus WO 2017/037281 A1 ein Positionsdetektionssystem für Jalousien bekannt, bei dem die Bestimmung der Position durch einen Controller, der einen elektronischen Motor ansteuert, in Abhängigkeit von der Zeitentwicklung der detektierten mit der Jalousie abgefahrenen Passagen erfolgt. Dabei kann durch die Kontrolleinheit während des Betriebes die Polarität der Spannung intern angepasst werden, sodass der Drehsinn des Antriebs hinsichtlich Auf- bzw. Abwickelns der Jalousie korrekt angepasst ist. Dieses wird bei diesem Positionsdetektionssystem durch ein nutzerseitiges Programmieren der Kontrolleinheit erreicht.It is also off WO 2017/037281 A1 a position detection system for blinds is known, in which the position is determined by a controller which controls an electronic motor as a function of the time development of the detected passages traveled by the blind. The control unit can adjust the polarity of the voltage internally during operation, so that the direction of rotation of the drive is correctly adjusted with regard to winding and unwinding the blind. In this position detection system, this is achieved by programming the control unit by the user.

In allen drei vorbeschriebenen Geräten ist ein korrektes Verdrahten der Anschlussleitungen mit der Einsatzeinheit vorausgesetzt.Correct wiring of the connection cables with the insert unit is required in all three devices described above.

Ausgehend von einem elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerät der eingangs genannten Art liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein elektrisches/elektronisches Installationsgerät zu schaffen, bei welchem ein derartig hoher Aufwand zur Umverdrahtung der beiden die Laufrichtung bestimmenden Anschlussleitungen wirkungsvoll vermieden ist. Ferner liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines solchen Installationsgerätes vorzuschlagen.Starting from an electrical / electronic installation device of the type mentioned at the beginning, the present invention is based on the object of creating an electrical / electronic installation device in which such a high expense for rewiring the two connecting lines determining the running direction is effectively avoided. The invention is also based on the object of proposing a method for operating such an installation device.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die in den Ansprüchen 1 und 9 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in claims 1 and 9.

Bei einer solchen Ausbildung ist besonders vorteilhaft, dass die Umverdrahtung beziehungsweise Umpolung der beiden, die Laufrichtung bestimmenden Anschlussleitungen lediglich vom Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer durch die Betätigung eines an der Einsatzeinheit vorhandenen Schalters einer Umschalteinrichtung erfolgt. Vorteilhafterweise ist dieser Schalter über ein Schaltglied betätigbar, welches über die, der Aufsatzeinheit zugewandte Frontseite der Einsatzeinheit erreichbar ist. Vorteilhafterweise ist es nun nicht mehr notwendig, bei einer Falschverdrahtung eine Abschaltung der Versorgungsspannung, eine Demontage der Einsatzeinheit aus der Installationsdose, ein Umverdrahten der beiden Anschlussleitungen, welche die Laufrichtung bestimmen, eine erneute Montage der Einsatzeinheit in die Installationsdose, ein Zuschalten der Versorgungsspannung und ein Durchführen eines erneuten Testes zur Überprüfung der Richtigkeit der Laufrichtung vorzunehmen.With such a design it is particularly advantageous that the rewiring or polarity reversal of the two connection lines determining the running direction can only be done by the installer or user takes place by operating a switch of a switching device present on the insert unit. This switch can advantageously be actuated via a switching element which can be reached via the front of the insert unit facing the attachment unit. In the event of incorrect wiring, it is advantageously no longer necessary to switch off the supply voltage, dismantle the insert unit from the installation socket, rewire the two connecting lines that determine the direction of travel, reassemble the insert unit in the installation socket, switch on the supply voltage and Carry out a new test to check the correctness of the running direction.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist weiterhin, wenn der für die Umschalteinrichtung vorgesehene elektrische Schalter auch dafür vorgesehen wird, einen Testbetrieb in Gang zu setzen. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine abweichende Betätigungsdauer des Schaltgliedes des elektrischen Schalters erfolgen.It is also particularly advantageous if the electrical switch provided for the switching device is also provided for starting a test mode. This can be done, for example, by a different actuation duration of the switching element of the electrical switch.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Gegenstandes sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels sei die Erfindung im Prinzip näher erläutert, dabei zeigen:

Wie aus den Figuren hervorgeht, besteht ein solches elektrisches/elektronisches Installationsgerät im Wesentlichen aus einer zum Anschluss an ein Installationssystem vorgesehenen Einsatzeinheit 1 und einem unter Zwischenschaltung eines Abdeckrahmens 2 an der Einsatzeinheit 1 über einen Steckverbinder 3 und über Halteelemente 4 festlegbaren Aufsatzeinheit 5. Die Aufsatzeinheit 5 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem die zur Funktion notwendigen elektrischen/elektronischen Bauteile aufnehmenden Sockelteil 6, an welchem zur Beeinflussung von angeschlossenen Aktoren A eine vom Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer betätigbare Bedieneinheit 7 befestigt ist. Der Anschluss der Einsatzeinheit 1 an das Installationssystem erfolgt über mehrere Anschlussleitungen, wobei dazu beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sechs Anschlussplätze vorgesehen sind. Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind jedoch auch Einsatzeinheiten 1 mitumfasst, die weniger oder aber mehr als sechs Anschlussplätze aufweisen. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Bedieneinheit 7 eine einzige vom Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer zum Beispiel durch Fingerdruck betätigbare beziehungsweise verschwenkbare Schaltwippe auf. Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind jedoch auch anders ausgeführte Bedieneinheiten 7 (zum Beispiel mit mehreren Schaltwippen, mit mehreren Drucktasten, mit einem Touchscreen und so weiter) mitumfasst.As can be seen from the figures, such an electrical / electronic installation device consists essentially of a An insert unit 1 provided for connection to an installation system and an attachment unit 5 that can be fixed to the insert unit 1 via a plug connector 3 and holding elements 4 with the interposition of a cover frame 2. The attachment unit 5 essentially consists of a base part 6 that accommodates the electrical / electronic components required for its function on which a control unit 7 which can be operated by the installer or user is attached to influence connected actuators A. The insert unit 1 is connected to the installation system via a plurality of connection lines, with six connection locations being provided for this purpose in the present exemplary embodiment. In the context of the invention, however, insert units 1 are also included which have fewer or more than six connection locations. In the present exemplary embodiment, the operating unit 7 has a single rocker switch that can be actuated or pivoted by the installer or user, for example by pressing a finger. Within the scope of the invention, however, differently designed operating units 7 (for example with several rocker switches, with several pushbuttons, with a touchscreen and so on) are also included.

Wie des Weiteren insbesondere aus den Figuren 2 und 3 hervorgeht, ist die Einsatzeinheit 1 mit einer, vom Benutzer zu beeinflussenden Umschalteinrichtung versehen. Durch die Beeinflussung der Umschalteinrichtung erfolgt eine Umpolung von zwei mit dieser in Verbindung stehenden Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind diese beiden Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2 an die beiden Anschlussplätzen A1, A2 der Einsatzeinheit 1 angeschlossen beziehungsweise mit diesen verdrahtet. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel besteht die Umschalteinrichtung aus einem mit zwei Ausgängen AU1, AU2 zur Verbindung der beiden zur Umpolung vorgesehenen Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2 versehenen Mikrocontroller 9 und einem zur Umschaltbeeinflussung des Mikrocontrollers 9 vorgesehenen elektrischen Schalter 8, welcher vom Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer zu betätigen ist. Die beiden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 des Mikrocontrollers 9 stehen elektrisch leitend mit den beiden Anschlussplätzen A1, A2 der Einsatzeinheit 1 in Verbindung, welche ihrerseits zum Anschluss beziehungsweise zur Verdrahtung der beiden zur Umpolung vorgesehenen Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2 vorgesehen sind. Umpolung bedeutet beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel, dass der Mikrocontroller 9 durch die Betätigung des elektrischen Schalters 8 angesteuert wird und dieser eine Umpolung seiner beiden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 vollzieht. Zur Beeinflussung der Umschalteinrichtung weist der elektrische Schalter 8 ein vom Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer zu betätigendes Tastschaltglied auf. Dieser elektrische Schalter 8 mit seinem Tastschaltglied ist beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel auch dafür vorgesehen, bei Betätigung durch den Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer einen Testbetrieb auszulösen beziehungsweise in Gang zu setzen. Damit die beiden Funktionen (Umpolung der angeschlossenen Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2 beziehungsweise der beiden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 des Mikrocontrollers 9 und des Testbetriebs) komfortabel und sicher vom Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer durchgeführt werden können, sind verschiedene Betätigungsarten im Mikrocontroller 9 abgelegt. So erfolgt eine Umpolung der beiden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 des Mikrocontrollers 9 durch eine kurze Doppelbetätigung des Tastschaltgliedes des elektrischen Schalters 8. Zur Umpolung kann zum Beispiel auch ein langer Tastendruck des Tastschaltgliedes des elektrischen Schalters 8 von ca. zwanzig Sekunden vorgesehen sein. Die Auslösung eines Testbetriebs erfolgt hingegen durch eine Betätigung des Tastschaltgliedes des elektrischen Schalters 8 von weniger als fünf Sekunden, wobei beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel durch unterschiedliche Betätigungszeiten im Rahmen dieses Betätigungszeitraumes ein Anfahren der unteren Endlage (Betätigungsdauer ca. eine Sekunde) oder der oberen Endlage (Betätigungsdauer ca. zwei Sekunden) erfolgt. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der elektrische Schalter 8 der Umschalteinrichtung, wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, der der Aufsatzeinheit 5 zugewandten Frontseite der Einsatzeinheit 1 zugeordnet. Das Tastschaltglied des elektrischen Schalters 8 ist somit bei installierter Einsatzeinheit 1 und nicht aufgesteckter Aufsatzeinheit 5 für den Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer besonders einfach zu erreichen.As further in particular from the Figures 2 and 3 is apparent, the insert unit 1 is provided with a switchover device that can be influenced by the user. By influencing the switching device, the polarity of two connecting lines AL1, AL2 connected to it is reversed. In the present exemplary embodiment, these two connection lines AL1, AL2 are connected to the two connection locations A1, A2 of the insert unit 1 or are wired to them. In the present embodiment, the switching device consists of a microcontroller 9 provided with two outputs AU1, AU2 for connecting the two connecting lines AL1, AL2 provided for polarity reversal and an electrical switch 8 provided for influencing the switching of the microcontroller 9, which is operated by the installer or user. The two outputs AU1, AU2 of the microcontroller 9 are electrically conductive with the two Connection places A1, A2 of the insert unit 1 in connection, which in turn are provided for connection or for wiring the two connection lines AL1, AL2 provided for polarity reversal. In the present exemplary embodiment, polarity reversal means that the microcontroller 9 is controlled by actuating the electrical switch 8 and this reverses the polarity of its two outputs AU1, AU2. To influence the switching device, the electrical switch 8 has a pushbutton switch to be actuated by the installer or user. In the present exemplary embodiment, this electrical switch 8 with its pushbutton switch element is also provided for triggering or starting a test mode when actuated by the installer or user. Various types of actuation are stored in the microcontroller 9 so that the two functions (polarity reversal of the connected connecting lines AL1, AL2 or the two outputs AU1, AU2 of the microcontroller 9 and the test mode) can be carried out comfortably and safely by the installer or user. The polarity of the two outputs AU1, AU2 of the microcontroller 9 is reversed by briefly double actuating the pushbutton switch of the electrical switch 8. To reverse the polarity, for example, a long push of the pushbutton switch of the electrical switch 8 can be provided for about twenty seconds. The triggering of a test mode, on the other hand, is carried out by actuating the pushbutton switch of the electrical switch 8 for less than five seconds, whereby in the present exemplary embodiment the lower end position (actuation duration approx. One second) or the upper end position (actuation duration) is approached through different actuation times within this actuation period approx. two seconds). In the present exemplary embodiment, the electrical switch 8 of the switching device is, in particular, off Figure 2 is shown, assigned to the front side of the insert unit 1 facing the attachment unit 5. The push-button switch element of the electrical switch 8 is therefore particularly easy to reach for the installer or user with the insert unit 1 installed and the attachment unit 5 not attached.

Wie insbesondere aus Figur 3 hervorgeht, weist der Mikrocontroller 9 nicht nur die beiden Ausgänge AU1 und AU2 auf, sondern ist zudem mit einem zwei Ausgänge aufweisenden Netzanschluss 10 versehen, welcher zur Energieversorgung vorgesehen ist. Außerdem ist an den Mikrocontroller 9 die zur Verbindung mit der Aufsatzeinheit 5 vorgesehene Schnittstelle 11 angeschlossen. Wie bereits erwähnt steht auch der elektrische Schalter 8 elektrisch leitend mit dem Mikrocontroller 9 in Verbindung. Damit die Umpolung der beiden die Laufrichtung bestimmenden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 dauerhaft gespeichert wird, weist der Mikrocontroller 9 eine Speichereinrichtung 12 auf, welche die Verpolung der beiden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 auch bei Spannungsausfall und Spannungswiederkehr sicherstellt.Like in particular from Figure 3 As can be seen, the microcontroller 9 not only has the two outputs AU1 and AU2, but is also provided with a mains connection 10 having two outputs, which is provided for the energy supply. In addition, the interface 11 provided for connection to the attachment unit 5 is connected to the microcontroller 9. As already mentioned, the electrical switch 8 is also connected to the microcontroller 9 in an electrically conductive manner. So that the polarity reversal of the two outputs AU1, AU2 determining the running direction is permanently stored, the microcontroller 9 has a memory device 12 which ensures the polarity reversal of the two outputs AU1, AU2 even in the event of a power failure and power recovery.

Wie bereits erwähnt, findet eine solche Umschalteinrichtung typischerweise Verwendung bei elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgeräten, die zur Beeinflussung von elektromotorischen Antrieben (Aktoren A) von Jalousien, Rollläden, Markisen und so weiter vorgesehen sind. Bei der Installation solcher elektrischer/elektronischer Installationsgeräte kann erst nach dem Verdrahten aller Anschlussleitungen mit der Einsatzeinheit 1 und dem Zuschalten der Versorgungsspannung überprüft werden, ob die elektromotorischen Antriebe hinsichtlich ihrer durch das elektrischen/elektronischen Installationsgerät vorgegebenen Bedienrichtung laufrichtungsgerecht angeschlossen wurden. Für den Fall, dass sich die Laufrichtung des elektromotorischen Antriebes entgegengesetzt zur vorgegebenen Bedienrichtung verhält, muss dies korrigiert werden. Dies erfolgt gemäß Stand der Technik umständlich durch Abschalten der Versorgungsspannung, Demontieren der Einsatzeinheit aus der Installationsdose, Umverdrahten der beiden Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2, welche die Laufrichtung bestimmen, erneute Montage der Einsatzeinheit 1 in die Installationsdose, Zuschalten der Versorgungsspannung und Durchführen eines erneuten Testes zur Überprüfung der Richtigkeit der Laufrichtung.As already mentioned, such a switchover device is typically used in electrical / electronic installation devices that are provided for influencing electromotive drives (actuators A) for blinds, shutters, awnings and so on. When installing such electrical / electronic installation devices, it is only possible to check whether the electromotive drives have been connected correctly with regard to their operating direction specified by the electrical / electronic installation device after all connection lines have been wired to the insert unit 1 and the supply voltage has been switched on. In the event that the direction of rotation of the electric motor drive is opposite to the specified operating direction, this must be corrected. According to the state of the art, this is done laboriously by switching off the supply voltage, dismantling the insert unit from the installation socket, rewiring the two connecting lines AL1, AL2, which determine the direction of travel, reassembling the insert unit 1 in the installation socket, switching on the supply voltage and performing a new test Checking the correctness of the running direction.

Durch erfindungsgemäß ausgeführte elektrische/elektronische Installationsgeräte erfolgt jedoch eine Umpolung der beiden die Laufrichtung bestimmenden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 lediglich dadurch, dass der Installateur beziehungsweise der Benutzer den elektrischen Schalter 8 der Umschalteinrichtung durch eine kurze Doppelbetätigung (alternativ durch eine lange Betätigung von ca. zwanzig Sekunden) beaufschlagt, damit die Umpolung der beiden betreffenden Ausgänge AU1, AU2 erfolgt. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist dieser elektrische Schalter 8 über ein Tastschaltglied betätigbar, welches erreichbarkeitsfreundlich der der Aufsatzeinheit 5 zugewandten Frontseite der Einsatzeinheit 1 zugeordnet ist. Vorteilhafterweise ist es nun nicht mehr notwendig, bei einer Falschverdrahtung eine Abschaltung der Versorgungsspannung, eine Demontage der Einsatzeinheit 1 aus der Installationsdose, ein Umverdrahten der beiden Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2, welche die Laufrichtung bestimmen, eine erneute Montage der Einsatzeinheit 1 in die Installationsdose, ein Zuschalten der Versorgungsspannung und ein Durchführen eines erneuten Tests zur Überprüfung der Richtigkeit der Laufrichtung vorzunehmen.However, the electrical / electronic installation devices designed according to the invention reverse the polarity of the two Outputs AU1, AU2, which determine the direction of travel, only in that the installer or user applies a brief double actuation to the electrical switch 8 of the switching device (alternatively, a long actuation of approx. Twenty seconds) so that the polarity of the two relevant outputs AU1, AU2 is reversed . As already mentioned, this electrical switch 8 can be actuated via a pushbutton switch element, which is assigned to the front side of the insert unit 1 facing the attachment unit 5 in an accessible manner. In the event of incorrect wiring, it is now advantageously no longer necessary to switch off the supply voltage, dismantle the insert unit 1 from the installation socket, rewire the two connection lines AL1, AL2, which determine the direction of travel, and reassemble the insert unit 1 in the installation socket Connect the supply voltage and carry out a new test to check the correctness of the direction of travel.

Dem Installateur beziehungsweise Benutzer wird somit eine deutlich schnellere Korrektur falsch verdrahteter beziehungsweise falsch angeschlossener Anschlussleitungen AL1, AL2 ermöglicht.The installer or user is thus enabled to correct incorrectly wired or incorrectly connected connection lines AL1, AL2 much more quickly.

Die Erfindung ist anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben worden. Ohne den Umfang der geltenden Ansprüche zu verlassen, ergeben sich für einen Fachmann weitere Ausgestaltungen, um die Erfindung verwirklichen zu können.The invention has been described using an exemplary embodiment. Without departing from the scope of the applicable claims, a person skilled in the art will find further refinements in order to be able to implement the invention.
