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.
