USER MANUAL

1 Description

The ESYLUX KNX/EIB series-switching actuator output modules are developed by

ESYLUX. KNX/EIB BUS is used to communicate with other KNX devices. The
database needs to be downloaded to the switch actuator by using ETS

3.0F/ETS4/ETS5; the document describes how to use the products. Our
products are manufactured according to EMC, electrical safety and
environmental standards.
The switch actuators are used to control switched loads, such as:

 Lighting
 Motor
 Blinds
 Heating
 Other equipment

Note: Use this product only as intended (as described in the user instructions).

Do not make any changes or alterations as this will render any warrantees null
and void. You should check the device for damage immediately after unpacking
it. If there is any damage, you should not install the device under any
circumstances.
If you suspect that safe operation of the device cannot be guaranteed, you
should turn the device off immediately and make sure that it cannot be operated
unintentionally.

2 Safety instructions

 Work on the 230 V power system must be carried out by authorized personnel

only, with due regard to the applicable installation regulations.

 Switch off the power supply before installing the system.
 The 21–30 V KNX bus voltage cannot be used as 24 V operating or auxiliary

voltage.

 Max. relay output: 16 A

USER MANUAL

3 Product function

The switch actuators can be used for 4, 8 and 12 channels independent AC/DC
loads. The outputs for MAX 16 A can be switched ON or OFF on every output
channel and can be switched manually too. The CU-DIN R 4-CH does not
require an additional power supply. The CU-DIN R 8-CH and CU-DIN R 12-CH
require an additional 24 V DC power supply if all of the channels are frequently
operated at the same time, but normal operation is also possible if there is no
additional power supply. The following functions can be set individually for each
output channel:

 Channel state response

 Channel state after bus voltage

failure and recovery

 Time function

Note: Note: The device has a voltage (capacity of relay driver) detect function.

It remains active and stores the state of the relays in the memory of the device
when the voltage goes down to stop level. This function is thereby able to
successfully prevent the relay from becoming inactive. When the voltage
(capacity of relay driver) goes back up to active level, the state of the relays are
recovered from the memory, thereby enabling the relays to become active again.
This function is very useful when there is no additional DC power application in
the system, and the delay time is approx. 0.4 s on switch state change when the
charge of the capacity is not enough.

power

Note: in some applications, the relay needs to be switched ON/OFF frequently,

and does not allow too much delay time. In such cases it can be connected to
an additional 24 V power supply. The max. current required are 24 mA when
the relay is actived, and required the standby current is 4 mA. The delay time is
approx. 400 ms on switch state change when the applied power is not sufficient.

USER MANUAL

 Regularly check the wiring and other related circuits and cables, and

replace faulty circuitry when necessary.

 For security, each wiring should be connected to an MCB or fuse
 Installation location should be well-ventilated; pay attention to moisture,

shock and dust.

5 Software

The ESYLUX KNX/EIB switch actuator database can be used with ETS3.0F, ETS4

and ETS5 for the programmation. The device types are CU-DIN R 4-CH, CU-DIN
R 8-CH and CU-DIN R 12-CH and the database names are:
EC10430282_ CU-DIN R 4-CH 16 A KNX.VD5
EC10430299_ CU-DIN R 8-CH 16 A KNX.VD5
EC10430305_ CU-DIN R 12-CH 16 A KNX.VD5

All parameters and interfaces are described in the following paragraph.

Each channel output of the switch actuators is independent and equal. So,
understanding of only one channel output is sufficient. The following paragraph
will describe the first channel output in detail.

5.3 Function parameter “General”

Fig 1: “General” parameters window

In the General parameters window, two parameters can be set:“Switching delay
after recovery ” and “Cycle send general telegram”.

 Operation delay after recovery (2–200 s)

Can be used for a delay time of 2–200 s after the power is available again. The
default value is 2 seconds. The min. value is 2 seconds and the max. value is
200 seconds.
Options: 2-200 s
After voltage recovery and the adjusted delay-time (2–200 s) is counted down
the switch is ready for use. This function is selected by the user.

 Sending cycle of object “In operation”(1–65,535 s, 0 - invalid)

The range of the parameter is 0 to 65,535 s. A zero parameter disables the
function, other parameters enable this function
Options: 1–65,535 s

USER MANUAL

When the parameter is set to non-zero, the device will send telegram data
cyclically on timeout. Send the value alternately between 0 and 1.

5.4 Function parameter “Channel A”

Fig 2: “Channel A” window

In the “Channel A” parameter window, some common functions can be set up.

After selecting a function and downloading the database to the device, the
device will work in accordance with the selected function.

Note: take channel A as an example; other channels are the same as A.

 Channel A work mode:

The functions of Channel A work mode output can be selected with three
parameters.
Options: Switch actuator

Heating actuator
Inactivated

If “Inactivated” is selected, channel A function will be invalid, but it will work in
the other two modes.
