Binary output 8-fold / blind actuator 4-fold
Product code: EK-FE1-TP
pendent channels reduces to 4. In addition to the manual
control with KNX pushbuttons, the actuator can be pro-
grammed to carry out a fully automatic control depending
on information such as daytime, intensity of the solar ra-
diation, temperature, presence of rain or windspeed; such
information is contained in telegrams sent by other devi-
ces connected to the KNX bus, such as timers, sensors
or weather stations. The operation as actuator for motor
drives 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.
Other characteristics
• Housing in plastic material
• Mounting on 35 mm rail (according to EN 60715)
• Protection degree IP20 (installed device)
• Overvoltage class III (according to EN 60664-1)
•
Classification climatic 3K5 and mechanical 3M2 (accor
-
ding to EN 50491-2)
• Pollution degree 2 (according to IEC 60664-1)
• 4 modular units (1 unit = 18 mm)
• Weight 315 g
• Dimensions 72 x 90 x 70 mm (WxHxD)
KNX device for independent switching of max. 8 groups of
electrical loads (as binary output) or independent control-
ling of max. 4 drives (as blind 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 for blinds. 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 device), that causes the opening or the closing of
one or more relays. The device requires an auxiliary 100-
230 Vac power 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,
staircase 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
motor drives dedicated to the motion of shading systems
(such as roller shutters, blinds, curtains, etc.) or of doors,
windows or shutters. In this case, the number of inde-

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.
