Binary output 16-fold / blind actuator 

8-fold

Code: EK-FF1-TP

mation such as daytime, intensity of the solar radiation, 

temperature, presence of rain or windspeed; such infor-

mation is contained in telegrams sent by other devices 

connected to the KNX bus, such as timers, sensors or 

weather stations. The operation as actuator for motor dri-

ves offers additional features.
•  Complete up and down run

•  Partial run with stop in position from 0 to 100 % of the 

run length

•  Setting of position (change during the operation of the 

preset position)

•  Adjustment of the slats inclination (for venetian blinds)

•  Integration in scenes

•  Automatic control for protection against direct sunlight

•  Automatic control for protection against weather condi-

tions (wind, rain, frost)

•  Locking funcion

•  Forced operation

•  Status feedback
The time interval between the change of direction can be 

set in the planning stage through a corresponding para-

meter.

KNX device for independent switching of max. 16 groups 

of electrical loads (as a binary output) or independent 

controlling of max. 8 drives (as ablind actuator). It has 

to be used in KNX installations for control of homes and 

buildings.

Description

The binary output / blind actuator ekinex

®

 EK-FE1-TP is 

a S-mode KNX rail mounting modular device for inde-

pendent switching electrical loads (single or groups) and 

controlling motor drives. To operate the device receives a 

telegram from the bus, sent by a KNX device (such as a 

pushbutton, a sensor or another switching or control devi-

ce), that causes the opening or the closing of one or more 

relays. The device requires an auxiliary 110-230 Vac po-

wer supply.

Main functional characteristics

•  Manual switching with membrane pushbuttons

•  Status feedback of the output channels through LEDs

• 

Configuration  as  normally  opened  or  normally  closed 

switch

•  Logic gates and forced operation mode

•  Status feedback (only at bus operating)

•  Locking function for each channel

•  Time programming: delay for switching on and off, stai-

rcase lighting function with prewarning signal

•  Integration in scenes

• 

Counter of operating hours configurable by bus

Control of blinds

The device can be used for switching and controlling dri-

ves dedicated to the motion of shading systems (such 

as roller shutters, blinds, curtains, etc.) or of doors, win-

dows or shutters. In this case, the number of independent 

channels reduces to 8. In addition to the manual control 

with KNX pushbuttons, the actuator can be programmed 

to carry out a fully automatic control depending on infor-

Warning!

 Motor drives can be damaged by sudden 

and repeated changes of the direction of motion. In 

order to set the correct time interval for reversing 

the direction of motion, refer to the technical docu-

mentation of the drive.

Other characteristics
•  Housing in plastic material

•  Mounting on 35 mm rail (according to EN 60715)

ding to EN 50491-2)

•  Pollution degree 2 (according to IEC 60664-1) 

•  8 modular units (1 unit = 18 mm)

•  Weight 595 g

•  Dimensions 144 x 90 x 70 mm (WxHxD)
