KNX RF Multi
Wireless with system. As reliable as KNX.

KNX RF Multi is the latest generation of wireless KNX technology – developed to take comfort, security and flexibility to a whole new level. It enables the simple, wireless extension of existing KNX TP systems or the set-up of a fully wireless installation, without the need for any new cables.

Multi-channel capability, communication with confirmation of receipt (Fast Acknowledge) and KNX Secure ensure that the system prevents faults and is optimally protected against manipulation. If customers subsequently require additional functions, if rooms need to be used differently or if something has been forgotten, KNX RF Multi offers immediate, clean retrofit solutions without additional effort.

Another benefit is energy efficiency: the Slow Low Energy (SLE) mode ensures long battery life for sensor and actuator components such as the Gira RF Multi servo for KNX.

  • KNX RF Multi is the latest generation of wireless communication
  • Telegram confirmation: with Fast Acknowledge, KNX RF Multi offers a high degree of transmission security
  • Multi-channel capability – switches to a free channel in the event of faults. KNX RF Multi uses up to 4 channels
  • Energy-efficient operation: Slow Low Energy (SLE) for long battery life
  • Controls lights, blinds, room temperature and scenes
  • Simple addition to existing KNX TP systems and set-up of entire KNX RF Multi systems
  • Easy retrofitting based on 230 V installations (Gira System 3000)
  • Compatible with all KNX media types from IP and TP to the previous KNX RF Ready Standard

KNX RF Multi – a comparison.

KNX RF Multi takes KNX wireless technology to a whole new level. A direct comparison clearly shows the differences compared with the previous KNX RF Ready Standard: greater stability, longer battery life, improved security and flexible expandability.

Easy to expand – flexible to combine.

KNX RF Multi makes retrofitting easy: wireless components that are powered either via 230 V or a battery can be integrated into existing KNX TP systems without the need for any new cables, especially where structural conditions make it difficult or impossible to carry out wiring after the fact – clean, fast and reliable. The Gira KNX RF Multi/TP media coupler for KNX securely connects these two worlds.

When combined with the Gira X1, the installation develops into a fully fledged Smart Home with visualisation, automation and mobile operation via the Gira Smart Home app.


The KNX RF Multi components

From the secure connection of the wired KNX system to control of lighting, blinds and heating, the KNX RF Multi components provide a complete product family. All the devices are ETS-compatible, can be updated and are protected by KNX Secure.

The Gira RF Multi servo for KNX

The Gira RF Multi servo for KNX makes your radiators smart. Simply replace the existing radiator thermostat and integrate your heating into the KNX system in an energy-efficient manner – no cabling required! It can then be controlled flexibly via the pushbutton sensor 4, the Gira G1 operating device, the Gira Smart Home App or directly on the servo. When combined with sensors and the Gira X1, heating processes can also be controlled automatically, offering more convenience and energy efficiency in your day-to-day life. The battery-operated RF Multi servo for KNX uses the KNX RF Multi’s energy-efficient Slow Low Energy mode, which means that 2xAA standard batteries are sufficient for up to two heating periods.

  • Can be retrofitted wirelessly, ideal for existing buildings
  • Internal temperature sensor with integrated control
  • Efficient battery operation with two commercially available AA batteries (runtime of up to two typical heating periods)
  • Can be grouped for multiple radiators in one room
    Operating modes: Komfort, standby, night, frost protection, summer/winter
  • Boost function for fast heating
  • Intelligent automation: by integrating weather sensors, window contacts and using logic and time functions in the Gira servers (Gira X1 or Gira HomeServer)
  • Visualisation and mobile control via app (in conjunction with Gira X1/S1)
  • Compatible with KNX Secure and updatable

Individual energy management with the Gira RF Multi servo for KNX

Profile & Modes
Create schedules for the day, night, or when you are not there. This ensures that the heating control automatically adapts to your day-to-day life.

Transparency
Visualisations show temperature trends or events such as “windows open” – target values can be adjusted at any time.

Durability
The energy-optimised Slow Low Energy mode (SLE) ensures long battery life – just two conventional AA batteries are sufficient for up to two heating periods.

Scenes
With just one click, you can lower the temperature in several rooms at once or link them to window contacts and logic functions.


The Gira RF Multi operating top unit for KNX

Simply plug in the Gira RF Multi operating top unit and the Gira System 3000 flush-mounted devices become fully fledged actuators in the KNX Multi system. There are numerous operating options available for this: switches such as pushbutton sensors or wall transmitters; the Gira G1 touch display; the app for on-the-go control; or even preset automated functions.

Thanks to the uniform Gira design, the top units fit seamlessly into the rest of the design line – for perfect integration when retrofitting.

  • Controlling lights, blinds, heating and scenes
  • Wide range of functions, including dimming, DALI lighting control, energy-efficient room temperature control and much more
  • 230 V installation as a basis
  • Compatible with the Gira System 55 and Gira F100 design lines
  • Variants: 1-gang and 2-gang
  • Simple start-up using ETS

The Gira RF Multi/TP media coupler for KNX

The Gira RF Multi/TP media coupler connects wired KNX TP systems to KNX RF components – securely, bidirectionally and flexibly. At the same time, it can be used as a repeater, ensuring stable wireless coverage even at greater distances or in difficult structural conditions.

  • Connection of KNX TP and KNX RF (Multi and Ready) to create a flexible overall system
  • Extend existing KNX TP systems or set up pure KNX RF systems
  • Repeater function for longer ranges
  • Supports KNX Secure for maximum security

The Gira RF Multi data interface for KNX

The Gira RF Multi data interface allows you to wirelessly connect the ETS directly to the KNX installation. This means you can programme, test or maintain devices quickly – even without access to the distributor. The interface can be used on a mobile basis, supports KNX Secure and does not remain permanently in the system.

  • Wireless ETS connection for KNX RF installations
  • Programming, diagnostics and maintenance can be carried out from anywhere.
  • Fast download of large applications (from ETS 5)
