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, 230VAC, 10A.
◎ 4 Channels for shutter motors up to 600W, Manual control or 8 Channels for switching outputs for ohmic loads up to 2300W.
◎ Any supposable mixed form of switching outputs and shutter output possible.
KAA-8R Universal Actuator 8-fold, 230V AC, 16A.
◎ 4 Channels for shutter motors up to 600W, Manual control or 8 Channels for switching outputs for ohmic loads up to 3680W.
◎ Any supposable mixed form of switching outputs and shutter output possible.
1.2 Usage & possible applications
The universal actuator has its field of applications always if you ask flexibility. It can be parameterized as well as an adequate
switching actuator.
Further, there is the possibility of embedding the channel into automatic blocks and activate different scenes. At activation of the
automatic function, absolute position can be approached via 1 Bit object. This function is e.g. very suitable for the start-up of
sunblind positions, which are called via a brightness sensor. Additional weather alarms are parameterize able, which can call
determined functions at the universal actuator.
Additional a manual control of the shutter/blinds can be switched on or off.
Parameterized as switching actuator, the settings switching output and staircase are available. At the configuration switch, all
settings are available which are necessary for a comprehensive parameterization. As well On-/Off-delay, normally opened mode
or normally closed mode, cyclic sending, central function, logical functions as scene function are adjustable. Additional the reset
behavior and the blocking behavior can be set.
Via the staircase function an automatic switch off after a determined time can be adjusted.
1.3 Exemplary Circuit diagrams
1.3.1 Switching actuator
Parameterized as switching actuator, the actuator is connected in the following way:

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. The universal actuator works with 230V AC. Every channel of the MRDC device contains of a status-LEDs.
The status-LEDs show an active run-up or an active run-down command.
With the buttons left/right you can chose the channel and with the buttons up/down you can move the channel down or up.
The following illustration shows a 8-fold universal actuator:
Illustration 5: Overview hardware module (KAA-8R)

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. There are no more opportunities to parameterize the channel.
Switch, Staircase, switch impulse, heating control with PWM
Every channel of the pair of channels can be selected individually as switch or staircase switch impulse…etc. at the next,
step.
If the channel is selected as switch, different switching actions can be parameterized.Additional actions, like logic functions
and scene functions, can be parameterized.
If the channel is selected as staircase, a staircase function, which causes an automatic cutout after an adjusted time, can be
parameterized. Additional settings for the adjustment of the staircase function are available. Like switch, staircase function,
you can find corresponding setting when selecting “switch impulse” or “heating control with PWM”. Please find detail
information in Later chapter.

The central function can be switched on/off for every channel. For switching on this function, you have to choose the option
“active”. By calling the central communication object, all channels with an activated central function are switched on with
their current parameterization. So switch-on delays or staircase functions are still kept.

Every channel can occupy a certain state as well in case of a bus power breakdown as in case of a bus power return. The
channel can be switched off or on, but also stay in its current state by choosing the parameter “no change”.
To avoid problems in case of a bus power breakdown, you should adjust this parameter very conscientious. Because there
is no controlling possible as long as the bus power is down.

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.
Both functions work as well alone as combined. By adjusting “0 seconds” for a delay the function is switched off.

3.4.3 Logic function
The following illustration shows the setting options at the ETS-Software:
Illustration 30: Logic function
The logic function can be activated with one or two objects. The objects are the inputs of the logic block. Furthermore you can
choose between an AND-function and an OR-function.
When you have activated the logic function, the logic block has to be satisfied before switching the channel. As long as the
logic function is not satisfied, the channel does not react to any signal.

3.4.4 Scene function
When functions of different groups (e.g. light, heating ) shall be changed simultaneously with only one keystroke, it is practical
to use the scene function. By calling a scene, you can switch the lights to a specific value, drive the shutter to an absolute
position, switch the heating to the day mode and switch the power supply of the sockets on. The telegrams of these functions
can have as well different formats as different values with different meaning (e.g. “0” for switch the lights off and open the
shutters). If there were no scene function, you would have to send a single telegram for every actuator to get the same
function.
The scene function of the switch actuator enables you to connect the channels of the switch actuator to a scene control. For
that, you have to assign the value to the appropriated space (scene A..H). It is possible to program up to 8 scenes per switching
output. When you activate the scene function at the switching output, a new sub menu for the scenes appears at the left drop
down menu. There are settings to activate single scenes, set values and scene numbers and switch the memory function on/off
at this sub menu.
Scenes are activated by receiving their scene numbers at the communication object for the scenes. If the memory function of
the scenes is activated, the current value of the channel will be saved at the called scene number.
The communication objects of the scenes have always the length of 1 byte.
The following illustration shows the setting options at the ETS-Software for activating the scene function:
Illustration 31: Scene function
The following chart shows the relevant communication object:
Number Name
11
Scene
Length Usage
1 Byte Call of the scene
Chart 41: Communication object scene
For calling a certain scene, you have to send the value for the scene to the communication object. The value of the scene
number is always one number less than the adjusted scene number. For calling scene 1, you have to send a “0”. “o the scene
numbers have the numbers from 1 to 64, but the values for the scenes only from 0 to 63.
If you want to call scenes by a binary input or another KNX device, you have to set the same number at the calling device as at
the receiving device. The calling device, e.g. a binary input, sends automatically the right value for calling the scene.
There are up to 8 storage options for scenes at every channel.

These 8 storage options can get any of the possible 64 scene numbers.

3.5.2 Staircase time
The following illustration shows the setting options at the ETS-Software:
Illustration 35: Staircase time
The staircase function is activated by choosing a channel as staircase. This function enables an automatic turn off of the
channel after an adjusted time, called “time for staircase”. The time for staircase can be parameterized freely. By sending an
“on-signal” at the communication object, the channel is switched on and the time runs out. After the time is ran out, the channel is
switched off automatically. There are a lot of further functions to adjust the staircase function. These functions are described at
the following segments.

not energized closed：corresponding to Output On for relay contact
not energized opened：corresponds to Output On for relay contact separation
Set the cycle of the PWM. The value of the Object "Control Value" is as the
PWM duty cycle and it the time of output On.
For example: When set cycle=10min and Object " ontrol Value"=75%,TheC
Output On time is 7.5min, Switch Off is 2.5min
Monitoring time setting for emergency mode. In normal conditions, the Object
"Control Value" needs to send to the actuator periodically. When the system
fails to receive the Object "Control Value" periodically, the "Emergency mode"
can play a protective function.
When "Emergency mode" is active, the setting value here is the monitoring
time. If the Object "Control Value" is not received beyond the monitoring time,
it will automatically enter "Emergency mode". At this time, the duty cycle value
of the PWM output is determined by the following one.
control value for emergency
mode:0%-100%
Note: If the setting value of "Emergency mode monitoring time" is larger than
the setting value of "PWM cycle", the actuator will not send "State Emergency
Mode" Object.
For example: PWM cycle=9min, Emergency mode monitoring time=10min.
The duty cycle value of the PWM output after entering "Emergency mode".
For example: PWM cycle=10min, where is set 20%, after entering " mergencyE
mode", the duty ratio of PWM output is 10*20%=2min.
