This device is an INSTABUS EIB system product and 
conforms to KNX guidelines. Detailed expertise gained 
through training in the INSTABUS system is a 
prerequisite. The function of the device depends on the 
software used. Detailed information on which software 
can be loaded and the range of functions associated 
with each type of software, and the software itself, are 
available from the Merten product database. Planning, 
installation and commissioning of the device are carried 
out using KNX-certified software. The product database 
and the technical descriptions are updated regularly and 
can be found on the Internet at www.merten.com.

The USB interface REG-K allows linking to a PC for 
addressing, programming and diagnosis of bus 
components with USB1.1 or USB2 interfaces. Power is 
supplied entirely from the connected PC via the USB 
interface. The USB interface is recognised by the KNX 
system when the USB cable is plugged in. The device 
is programmed with the physical address locally only via 
the connected PC and therefore does not have a 
programming button or a programming LED.  
The firmware for the USB interface can be updated via 
a PC and is therefore future-proof for any later 
standards.
The USB interface is designed for mounting on a DIN 
rail. A data rail is not required.

Note:

If the USB cable for an REG-K device is to be 
connected permanently in the distribution board, 
release the black slide at the clip (Figure 

!C

and pull it out. Then lay the USB cable and 
reinsert the black slide. This ensures that the 
USB cable is fixed and that the maximum 
mounting height in the distribution board is not 
exceeded.
