KAA-8R Universal Actuator Instruction manual 1.Overview 1.1 Overview devices The manual refers to the following devices: (Order Code respectively printed in bold type): KAA-8R-10 Universal Actuator 8-fold, 230V AC, 10A. ◎ 4 Channels for shutter motors up to 600W, Manual control or 8 Channels for switching outputs for ohmic loads up to 2300W. ◎...
1.3.2 Mixed mode Also arbitrary mixed modes are possible, e.g. in the following way: Illustration 4: Exemplary circuit diagram as switching and shutter actuator 1.4 Structure & Handling The universal actuator (KAA-8) contains of a programming button as well as a programming-LED, which shows a activated programming button.
1.5 Functions The functionality is the same for all channels. Depending on the hardware module the device contains of up to eight channels. At the first step, every channel can be selected as not active, Switch/Staircase/switch impulse, heating control with PWM not active The channel becomes no more functions allocated.
Group of functions Functions scene function for up to 8 scenes per channel Scenes feedback function State functions Impulse time Switch impulse functions locking function PWM function Heating control with PWM Emergency mode Chart 2: Overview functions for switch, staircase mode 1.6 Settings at the ETS-Software Selection at the product database: Manufacturer: MEANWELL Enterprises Co.
2.Communication Objects 2.1 Global communication objects The central communication objects are standardly shown. They contain as well the communication objects, which are only valid for corresponding functions. 2.2 Default settings of the central communication objects The following chart shows the default settings of the global communication objects: Default settings Object Function Length...

3.2 Channel selection To operate the universal actuator as switching actuator, at first the each channel, e.g. Channel A, must be selected as “switching”, “staircase light”,” Switch impulse”...etc. At the next step, for each channel can be selected if the channel shall operate as switch for different application.
3.3 Identical parameter The following parameters is available at channels selected as switch as at channels selected as switch. 3.3.1 Relay operating mode The following illustration shows the setting options for this parameter: illustration 7: Operating mode The following chart shows the dynamic range for this parameter: ETS-text Dynamic range comment...

3.4 Switching output The following parameters, which are described at the headings 5.3.x, are only available at channels selected as switch. 3.4.1 Overview By choosing a channel as switch, a sub menu, called Channel A Switching, appears for this channel at the left drop down menu.

The on-delay causes a delayed switch of the channel. At sending an on-signal to the channel, first the adjusted on delay time expires and afterwards the channel will be switched on. The off delay works on the same principle. At sending an off-signal, first the adjusted off delay time expires and afterwards the channel will be switched off.
