Function description 

The INSTABUS radio gateway is the connection / forwarding 

point between the Merten radio system and an EIB system. 

The radio gateway operates bidirectionally, so that signals 

from EIB sensors can be converted into Merten radio signals, 

and also Merten radio signals into signals for EIB sensors. 

The system only supports components of the Merten radio system 

and all standard EIB devices. In addition, the ARGUS 220 

Connect movement detector and the ARGUS 220 Timer with 

radio module are supported. 

The assignment of radio transmitters / EIB sensors to the radio 

receivers / EIB actuators is set up in the ETS.

INSTABUS RADIO GATEWAY 

Description of the operating elements 

On the front of the radio gateway there are the programming 

button and the programming LED , together with the function 

display in the form of LEDs for learning, transmission and reception 

modes. The function selection switch allows the operating 

mode to be set according to the following assignments: 

– 0, 6, 7, 8, 9 = normal operating mode 

– 1 = learning mode 

– 2 = manual transmission mode (using transmitter button ) 

– 3 = delete transmitter 

– 4 = delete all 

– 5 = delete channel number 

Using the channel selection switches and , the channels to be 

taught / to be deleted can be set, setting the tens and units 

place values separately. There are 25 blocks available, each 

with 2 channels, of which 10 blocks are purely for reception. 

The other blocks can be configured for either transmission or 

reception. 

All the reception blocks together can be connected to a maximum 

of 16 different devices each with up to 15 buttons (e.g. 

for remote control).

the radio gateway can affect reception and transmission 

properties. Therefore, if possible, do not install the 

radio gateway in a metal flush-mounted box. 

1 Antenna (grey core) should be laid behind the 

casing, so as to avoid interference with the radio signal 

by the retaining ring. 

2 Secure the retaining ring of the radio gateway to a 

flush-mounted box, using the screws supplied. 

Introduction to the subject 

For a better understanding of the operation of the radio gateway 

and its description in this instructions, we offer here an introduction 

to the terms employed. 

A distinction is made between terms that relate to signals on 

the radio side that are converted into signals for the EIB side 

(radio – EIB) and those that relate to signals from the EIB side 

that are converted into signals for the radio side (EIB – radio). 

Signals on the EIB side are always referred to as EIB telegrams, 

signals on the radio side are referred to as radio signals. The 

function of signals such as "On/dim brighter" or "Toggle" is set 

in the radio receiver. 

Furthermore, on the EIB side reference is always to actuators 

and sensors, on the radio side on the other hand always to 

transmitters and receivers. 

The radio gateway is divided into 25 blocks which can each be 

assigned a different function in the ETS. Each block is divided 

into two channels, by which the radio signals are transmitted 

or received.

The radio gateway receives in the direction of radio to EIB radio 

signals from the radio components. The blocks and channels 

in this direction of data transfer are referred to as reception 

blocks / reception channels. The radio transmitters are assigned 

to the reception blocks / reception channels. 

In this direction of data transfer there are a maximum of 25 reception 

blocks available, each with two reception channels. A 

maximum of 16 different radio transmitters, each with up to 

15 different transmitter buttons, can be taught to the reception 

channels. 

Each block can be assigned the following functions: Toggle 

(two per block), switch, dim, blind, pulse edge and ARGUS 

(each one per block). 

The odd-numbered reception channels each trigger toggle, off, 

dim down, move up telegrams to the EIB side for their respective 

functions. 

The even-numbered reception channels each trigger toggle, 

on, dim up, move down telegrams to the EIB side for their respective 

functions.

Commissioning 


To start up the radio gateway you must first link the desired radio 

transmitters / radio receivers. Linked radio transmitters 

can be deleted again at any time. 

Enter all the parameters set in the ETS into a planning aid (see 

operating instructions). This planning aid is essential for completing 

the settings and assignments and for recreating them 

again as necessary. 

| All the item numbers to referred to in this section rela- 

te to figure !. 

Linking radio transmitters to the radio gateway (radio › EIB) 

For Merten radio signals to be transferred to the EIB in order 

for EIB telegrams to be issued (e.g. switch telegrams), the radio 

transmitter must be linked to the radio gateway. Once the 

radio transmitter is linked, the radio gateway acts on the radio 

side as a receiver. Several radio transmitters can be linked to 

a single reception channel, so that various radio buttons can 

be used to control any blind, for example. 

1 Set the two channel selection switches and to the 

desired reception channel. 

2 Set the function selector switch to "1" (learn). 

Learn mode will be activated, and the yellow LED will start to 

flash. You now have approx. 3 minutes in which to activate the 

desired radio transmitter. 

| All radio transmitters for which the transmitter button is 

pressed within the next 3 minutes will be linked. 

3 Press the transmitter button on the desired radio 

transmitter to which you wish this channel to be linked. 

When the radio gateway has received the transmitted signal 

and identified it, the yellow LED will light up for approx. 1 second. 

You now have a further 3 minutes in which to link another 

radio transmitter by pressing the transmitter button on 

that transmitter to this reception channel. The yellow LED will 

start to flash again. 

| Only for ARGUS: If you wish to link transmitters that 

have the ARGUS radio module (e.g. ARGUS Connect), 

then set the coding switch on the radio module to "H" 

(transmit radio link signal). The radio module will thereupon 

transmit a link-up radio signal every three seconds. 

When the link-up is successful, the yellow LED 

will light up for approx. 1 second. Then set the coding 

switch on the ARGUS radio module back to "A" (normal 

mode). 

4 Once you have linked all transmitters to the selected 

reception channel, return the function selection 

switch to "0" (normal operation). 

5 Use the ETS to assign an EIB function including parameters 

and objects (e.g. switch, blind etc.) to the 

reception channel of the radio gateway. 

6 Enter all the settings and allocations selected into 

the planning aid.

If Merten radio receivers should be controlled using EIB telegrams 

(e.g. blind), you must link the radio gateway to the radio 

receiver, which thereafter will act on the radio side as a transmitter. 

You can link the radio gateway to several radio receivers on various 

transmission channels and then make all the EIB settings 

retrospectively using ETS. 


desired transmission channel, from 1 to 30. 

2 Set the function selector switch to "2" (manual 

transmission). 

3 Set the desired radio receiver to the desired function 

(see the instructions for the receiver concerned). 

You now have a certain length of time (dependent on the radio 

receiver) to send a radio signal using the radio gateway. 

4 Press the transmitter button . 

The radio gateway will transmit a short radio signal, and the 

green LED B (transmit mode) will light up. When the receiver 

receives the transmission signal and has identified it, it signals 

this by briefly switching on the load connected (e.g. blinds 

move up and down slightly). 

5 Set the function selector switch back to "0" (normal 

operation). 

6 Put the radio receiver back into operating mode 

(see the instructions for the receiver concerned). 

7 Use ETS to assign functions to the transmission 

blocks including parameters and objects, (e.g. switching, 

blinds etc.).

EIB buttons are parameterised in advance, can be 

found on the Internet under www.merten.de. 

Deletion operations 

In the data direction from radio to EIB you have four different 

options for deleting radio transmitters that are saved in the radio 

gateway: 

1. Delete a certain transmitter button from a reception channel. 

2. Delete all radio transmitters linked to a particular reception 

channel 

3. Delete all transmitter buttons of a radio transmitter 

4. Delete everything 

In the data direction from EIB to radio you have one option for 

deletion: 

1. Delete the radio gateway from a radio receiver

BUS 

Two groups of radio receivers can be addressed per 

transmitter block. 

Switching and value objects are evaluated. When a 

telegram is received at the EIB object, the gateway 

sends a radio signal to the assigned radio receiver. The 

radio receivers carry out the reverse procedure for every 

radio signal. Loads which are switched on will be 

switched off – loads which were switched off will be 

switched on. This switching behaviour is called 

"toggling". 

| Requirement: When the radio gateway was 

connected, the "Toggle" function was set at the 

radio receivers 

(see operating instructions for the radio receiver 

concerned). 

| The "Toggle" function is not suitable for group 

functions since the status of the loads after 

toggling depends on their status beforehand. 

Please note that status reports are not available 

with radio, including for individual functions. The 

"Toggle" function is therefore only recommended 

when the loads can be monitored.

With two-button dimming, two groups of radio 

transmitters can be connected per receiver block. 

Depending on the radio signal received, either an ON/ 

OFF telegram or a dim up / dim down telegram will be 

created. 

The radio transmitter which is connected to the oddnumbered 

channel creates the OFF or dim down 

telegram, and the radio transmitter connected to the 

even-numbered channel creates the ON or dim up 

telegram. 

A short radio signal triggers the ON/OFF telegram, a 

long radio signal triggers a dim up / dim down telegram. 

The size of the dimming stages can be programmed. 

After the end of a long radio signal, a stop command can 

be created to stop the dimming procedure, depending 

on the programming. When the dimming stages set are 

large, this means that the dimmer can stop at 

intermediate stages. When "Stop telegram after 

release" is disabled, the dimmer can only stop at the 

dimming stages set.

Depending on the radio signal received, when the 

direction of movement "up and down" is programmed in 

ETS, either a "Shutter UP/DOWN" or an "Adjust louvre" 

telegram will be created. 

The radio transmitter which is connected to the oddnumbered 

channel creates the "Shutter UP" or "Adjust 

louvre" telegram, and the radio transmitter connected to 

the even-numbered channel creates the "Shutter 

DOWN" or "Adjust louvre" telegram. 

A short radio signal triggers the "Adjust louvre" telegram,

telegram.

Position values 

BUS 

When the direction of movement is programmed "with 

position values" the radio signals received are converted 

into shutter position telegrams or louvre position 

telegrams with fixed values - odd channel number for 

value 1, even channel number for value 2. The value for 

the shutter position is then transferred at the start of the 

radio signal, and the value for the louvre position at the 

end of the radio signal.

Only one group of radio transmitters per receiver block 

can be connected to the odd-numbered receiver 

channel. 

A received radio signal creates either an ON/OFF 

telegram or one of two programmable values. This 

depends on the programming, which is used to set the 

action to be executed at the start of the radio signal (on 

activation) and the action to be executed at the end of 

the radio signal (on release). 

You can also program whether one object is to be 

created at a time, or two objects simultaneously. 

You can set each object individually to be either a switch 

object, a value object or a priority control object. 

The maximum radio signal duration is 30 seconds. After 

30 seconds of uninterrupted radio signal, the signal is 

interpreted as the end of the radio signal (release).

●ARGUS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . radio → EIB 

BUS 

Only one group of ARGUS radio transmitters per 

receiver block can be connected to the odd-numbered 

receiver channel for switching. 

When ARGUS detects movement, and after the time 

programmed in ARGUS has elapsed, ARGUS sends a 

radio signal to the gateway. 

At the beginning of the movement detected, an ON 

telegram is created by the radio signal received. The 

radio signal that is received after the time programmed 

in ARGUS has elapsed creates an OFF telegram (switch 

object=1 bit). 

The setting switch object =1 byte in steps or 1 byte 

continuously can be used to transfer switching 

telegrams with freely selectable values 1 and 2, e. g. to 

switch a dimming actuator directly to particular 

brightness values.

4. Planning aid 

To plan your installation more effectively and in case you 

need to recreate the installation at a later date, you 

should enter all the settings and allocations selected in 


A MS Excel file of the planning aid can be found on our 

homepage under www.merten.de. 

| EIB →Radio: Please note that in the direction 

from EIB to radio, only transmitter blocks 1 to 15 

can be assigned. 

You can connect each transmitter channel to any 

number of radio receivers. 

| Radio →EIB: You can connect a maximum of 16 

radio transmitters to the receiver channels, with 

up to 15 different transmitter buttons each. 

You can connect several radio transmitters to one 

receiver channel. 

You cannot connect a transmitter button from a 

radio transmitter to several receiver channels. 

Example, row 1: 

At the door in room 284 there is a 1-gang button, whose 

upper switching edge is used to switch the light on 

while its lower switching edge is used to switch the light 

off (1 bit). 

The data direction from radio to EIB is set in ETS. 

Block 1 is assigned the function "Switching" (1 bit), 

which means that the odd-numbered channel 1 is 

automatically assigned the "Switch off" function and the 

even-numbered channel 2 is assigned the "Switch on" 

function. 

The EIB group address is 2/1. 


Here, we will use the following example tables to show 

you what entries should be made where. 

The first example table shows the entries for the 

direction radio to EIB, the second table shows the 

entries for the direction EIB to radio.

Example, row 10: 

At the door in room 375 a radio receiver universal super 

dimmer insert is installed. It is used for 2-button 

dimming. 

The data direction from EIB to radio is set in ETS. 

When the appropriate button is activated, transmitter 

channel 19 in Block 10 sends radio signals to dim down 

or to switch off. When the appropriate button is 

activated, transmitter channel 20 in Block 10 sends radio 

signals to dim up or to switch on. 

The EIB group addresses are 2/3 (switching) and 

2/4 (dimming).
