Version
AKD-0201.02 Dimming Actuator 2-fold 3TE MDRC, 230VAC, 2 x 250W or 1 x 500W
AKD-0401.02 Dimming Actuator 4-fold 6TE MDRC, 230VAC, 4 x 250W, 1 x 500W + 2 x 250W or 2 x 500W
The MDT Dimming Actuator receives KNX/EIB telegrams and dimms/switches up to 4 independent electrical loads.
Each output can be operated manually via a push button.
The dimming actuator supports the usual loads and is optimized for dimmable LED lamps from 2W. In trailing edge phase
operation mode, universal or ECO lamps up to 200W are supported. Older lamps which can not be operated in trailing
edge operation mode are supported in leading edge operation mode up to 50W.
The connected lamps can be dimmed depending on the time of day. By the automatic dimming the evening operation
with high brightness lightning can be avoided. The brighness can be adjusted individually depending on the time of day
or the position of the sun.
The integrated active power meter records the current consumption per channel and sends the value to the bus.
The diagnostics function calculates the utilization of the channel and sends it in plain text as a 14-byte telegram.
Additionally the dimmer has overload/short circuit and temperature protection with alarm message.
The parallel operation of two channels allows dimming of loads up to 500W (LED lights up to 400W).
The MDT Dimming Actuator is a modular installation device for xed installation in dry rooms. It ts on DIN 35mm rails in
power distribution boards or closed compact boxes.
For project design and commissioning of the MDT Dimming Actuator it is recommended to use the ETS.

The maximum load and the maximum number of lamps depends on the used lamps. The built-in diagnostics gives an indication of the percentage utilization of the channel.
*
For trailing edge phase operation mode, usually up to 20 LED lamps can be connected.
Minimum load for dimmable LED lamps is 2W, depending on the LED lamp manufacturer. Correct function of the LED lamps has to be checked before installation.

Important assembly notes:
- Conventionel transformers must be fused on primary
side with adequate fuse according to the size of the
transformator.
- The AC power line has to be connected separately to
each Dimming Actuator. Connecting of several devices
is not allowed.
- The neutral line has to be connected separately to each
channel. Do not bypass directly on the screw terminals.
- Separate L-/N connections for each channel
(different phases possible L1, L2, L3)
