• the maximum distance between two bus devices can-

not exceed 700 m;

• the maximum length of a bus line is 1000 m, keeping into

account all segments.

At the same bus line can be connected not more than two

power supplies. A second power supply may be necessa-

ry when the installation in distribution boards requires a

particular concentration of the bus devices (tipically more

than 30 units installed within 10 m). In this case a po-

wer supply has to be installed near the group of devices.

Between two power supplies installed on the same bus

line a minimum distance of 200 m is required, measured

along the line.

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 other power supplies

can compromise the communication and damage

the devices connected to the bus.

Mounting

The device has degree of protection IP20, and is the-

refore suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The hou-

sing is made for rail mounting according to EN 60715

in boards or cabinets for electrical distribution. The

installation is in horizontal position, the correct posi-

tion is when the terminals for KNX bus line and auxi-

liary output are located at the bottom and the terminals

(

, L, N) for connecting the mains power supply 230 Vac

are located 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 bus terminals

have been extracted from their slots. Use a screwdriver

to slide down the locking device and remove the device

from the rail.

Note. When mounting the device in boards and ca-

binets it shall be provided the necessary ventilation

so that the temperature can be kept within the ope-

rating range of the device.

Electrical connections

Main supply 230 Vac

The connection to the 230 main supply Vac is made with

screw terminals ( , L, N) located on the upper front of the

device. Characteristics of the terminal blocks:

• screw clamping of conductors

• maximum cross section of conductor 2.5 mm²

• recommended wire stripping approx. 6 mm

• torque max 0.5 Nm

KNX bus line

The connection to the KNX bus line is made with the ter-

minal block (black/red) included in delivery and inserted

into the slot located on the bottom left part of the front.

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

Auxiliary output

The auxiliary output 30 Vdc is provided with a dedicated

terminal block (yellow/white) included in the delivery and

inserted into the slot located on the bottom right part of

the front. The terminal block for the auxiliary output has a

color codification different than that for the connection of

the KNX bus. Characteristics of the 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: yellow = + (positive) AUX conductor,

white = - (negative) AUX conductor

To connect the auxiliary output to the powered devices it

is recommended to use a cable with a sheath of different

color than that used to connect the KNX bus line.
