Connection of the KNX bus line
The connection of the KNX bus line (fig. a) is made with
the terminal block (black/red) included in delivery and in-
serted into the slot of the housing.
Characteristics of the KNX terminal block
• spring clamping of conductors
• 4 seats for conductors for each polarity
• terminal suitable for KNX bus cable with single-wire
conductors and diameter between 0.6 and 0.8 mm
• recommended wire stripping approx. 5 mm
•
color codification: red = + (positive) bus conductor,
black = – (negative) bus conductor
at the top.
For the installation of the device on the rail proceed as
follows:
• with the aid of a tool bring the locking device in the
fully lowered position (1);
•
place the upper edge of the rear inner profile on the
upper edge of the rail (2);
• rotate the device towards the rail (3);
• push the locking device upward until it stops (4).
Before removing the device, be sure the inputs have been
disconnected and the bus terminal has been extracted
from its slot. Use a screwdriver to slide down the locking
device and remove the device from the rail.
Switching, display and connection elements
The device is equipped with a programming pushbutton
and a programming LED, membrane pushbuttons, LED
for status indication and terminals for connecting the KNX
bus line, the 100-230 Vac power supply and the outputs.
Switching elements
• Pushbutton (3) for switching between the normal and
programming operating mode
• Pushbutton (7) for switching between the operating
modes: forced (pushbuttons on the front panel: active)
or automatic (pushbuttons on the front panel: not
active)
• Pushbuttons (2) for forced operation of the output
channels
Display elements
• Red LED (4) for displaying the active operating mode
of the device (on = programming, off = normal opera-
tion)
• Green LEDs (9) for displaying the switching status of
the output channels (on = closed contact, off = opened
contact)
• Red LED (8) for displaying the operating mode (on =
forced operation, off = automatic operation)
Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP20, and is there-
fore suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The housing is
made for rail mounting according to EN 60715 in boards
or cabinets for electrical distribution. The installation is in
horizontal position, the correct position is when the KNX
bus terminal and the 100-230 Vac terminals are located at
the bottom and the terminals for the outputs are located
• Rated voltage (U
n
): 100-230 Vac 50 / 60Hz
• Rated current (I
n
): max 16 (10) A (both @ 100Vac and
@ 230Vac)
• Max switched power: max 4000 VA @ 250Vac
• Inrush current: 88 A 20 ms
Environmental conditions
•
Operating temperature: - 5 ... + 45°C
•
Storage temperature: - 25 ... + 55°C
•
Transport temperature: - 25 ... + 70°C
• Relative humidity: 95% not condensing

Warning!
In order to supply the KNX bus lines use
only KNX bus power supplies (e.g. ekinex EK-AB1-
TP or EK-AG1-TP). The use of different power sup-
pliy units can compromise the communication and
damage the devices connected to the bus.
!
Note.
It is recommended that the installation of the
device always ensure the full accessibility of the
front side to allow the operation of the pushbuttons.
