Ekinex EK-FA1-TP Manual

Binary output 4 channels 10A
Product code: EK-FA1-TP
KNX binary output for independent switching of max. 4
groups of electrical loads. It has to be used in KNX instal-
lations for control of homes and buildings.

Description

The ekinex binary output EK-FA1-TP is a S-mode KNX
®
rail mounting modular device for independent switching
of 4 groups of electrical loads; to this purpose the outputs
of the device are equipped with potential-free relay con-
tacts. The device is equipped with an integrated bus com-
munication module and is designed for rail mounting in
distribution boards and cabinets. 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 device), that causes the opening or the closing of
one or more relays. The manual operation of an output
channel is possible also using the corresponding lever on
the front side. The position of the lever simultaneously
indicates the switching status of the relay. The bistable
relays ensure the maintenance of the status also in case
of failure of the bus voltage. The device is powered by
the KNX bus line with SELV voltage 30 Vdc and does not
require any auxiliary power supply.

Main characteristics

• On/off switching of individual loads or groups of loads
• Configurable as normally open or normally closed
switch
• Manual switching through levers (also in case of bus
voltage failure)
• Status feedback of the outputs through the position of
the levers
• Logical gates and forced mode for each channel
• Block function for each channel
• Time scheduling: delay for switching on and off, stairca-
se lighting function with pre-warning signal
• Integration in scenes
• Operating hours counter configurable via bus
• Auxiliary power supply not necessary

Switching, display and connection elements

The device is equipped with switches for manual opera-
tion and status feedback, a programming pushbutton, a
programming LED, and terminal blocks for connecting
outputs and KNX bus line.

Switching elements

• Pushbutton for switching between the normal and pro-
gramming operating mode
• Lever switches for manual operation of the channels
(tool necessary)
Thanks to the lever switches located on the front of the
device, the connected loads can be manually controlled
in the absence of voltage on the KNX bus or when the
programming has not yet been carried out.
Warning! The manual control of the device through
!
the lever switches should be carried out only in case
of emergency. The operation of the lever switches
does not trigger any bus telegram.
