What is the difference between these two circuits?

Well, if I were an expert… that's why I'm asking. It's about an ABB E232-230 stairwell light switch. In both cases, four cables are connected. In the 4-wire version, the button and lamps are separate, so contact 4 is connected to L with the button on the switching relay. And contact 3 is connected directly to N. So 4 = L and 3 = N. I don't understand the 3-wire version. Why are contacts 4 and 3 suddenly L? There's no setting option on the switch. Can someone please explain this to me?

The 4-wire circuit with a switching relay doesn't work, but I just swapped the cables around and labeled them beforehand.

Once you need an additional phase on the buttons, there is a 4th wire necessary, or the existing N is scanned, and the additional phase is omitted (3 wires)

What if the 3-wire screen is incorrectly drawn on the switch?

It's not drawn wrong… The evaluation electronics, which are supplied over 1/2 permanently, recognize this reliably….

The 3-wire system is built because the 4 goes to N via the Eltako

That's what you found.

Then the new switch is broken, right?

Can be, but can also be due to other causes…

I didn't pay attention to the picture. This should also be the guide. If it works now, it's great. :

Did you think the Ader is N? If necessary, blue is also used as a return conductor for scanned L… Color alone says NOT! Therefore ALWAYS measure two poles! With so many questions/ignorance, a specialist on site would be much better, strictly allowed You don't even…

In short, in the case of the 4 conductor system, the phase is scanned, in the case of the 3 conductor system of the N which you are anyway due to the lamps or consumers need

For this, the rotary switch is on the relay. This will switch between 3 and 4 👌🏼

I think so
