DANGER

Risk of death from electric shock.

All work on the device must only be carried out by trained and skilled electricians. Observe the country-specific regulations as well as the valid

KNX guidelines.

DANGER

Risk of death from electric shock.

Even if the manual switch is in the „OFF“ position, a KNX telegram can switch the connections to being live at any time. Before working on the device, always diconnect the fuse in the incoming circuit from the supply.

½ CAUTION

The device can become damaged.

Only operate the device according to the specifications stated in the Technical data.

½ CAUTION

Adjacent devices can be damaged. Only install devices with at least basic insulation next to the device.

Getting to know the actuator

The KNX Switch Actuator Basic REG-K/8x/16 A with manual mode (referred to below as the actuator ) can switch eight loads via separate, floating make contacts.

You can also manually switch the connected loads with manual switches on the actuator without bus voltage.

The actuator has a bus coupler. It is installed on a DIN rail

TH 35 according to EN 60715, with the bus connection made via a bus connecting terminal. It is supplied with power from the bus voltage. A data rail is not required.

¼ WARNING

Risk of death from electric shock. The device can be damaged.

Safety clearance must be guaranteed in accordance with IEC 60664--1. There must be at least 4 mm between the individual cores of the 230 V supply cable and the KNX line A .

¼ DANGER

Risk of death from electric shock.

Voltage may be present at the outputs when the mains voltage is connected to the system.

If subjected to strong vibrations during transportation, the switch contacts might change to the enabled state.

After connecting the bus voltage, set the relays of the channels to the position desired simply by switching „On/Off“ or by changing the manual switch to „OFF“.

½ CAUTION

The actuator can become damaged.

Protect the switch contacts with a series-connected 16 A circuit breaker.

3 Connect the bus voltage.

4 Wait at least 30 seconds.

5 Connect the load.

The cables to the loads as well as the system voltages

(L1, L2 or L3) are connected via screw terminals for max.

16 A. Every two L connections are bridged internally.

6 Connect the mains voltage.

Now you can check the functionality of the actuator and the connected loads without having to load the application from the ETS (See the section "Operating the actuator").

Putting the actuator into operation

1 Press the programming button.

The programming-LED lights up.

2 Load the physical address and application into the device from the ETS.

The programming LED goes out.

The operation LED lights up: The application was loaded successfully, the device is ready for operation.

Operating the actuator

Normally, you control connected devices using pushbuttons or by remote control. However, you can manually switch each of the actuator‘s channels on and off directly at the manual switches.
