1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 RailQUAD 8
RailQUAD 8 is an analogue / digital input module from Zennio featuring eight separate
inputs, each configurable as:
Binary Input.
Temperature probe, either models provided by Zennio or other NTC
temperature probes from other suppliers, being in that case possible to
configure their parameters in ETS.
Motion detector.
Moreover, RailQUAD 8 implements:
8 independent thermostats, which can be enabled and configured
separately.
Heartbeat or periodical “still-alive” notification.
In sum, RailQUAD 8 is an updated version of the popular QUAD from Zennio, with
twice the number of inputs and intended to be installed on a DIN rail

1.2 INSTALLATION
RailQUAD 8 is connected to the KNX bus through the incorporated terminal connector.
Once powered through the KNX bus, the device may be downloaded both, an
individual address or the application program.
This device does not need any additional external power since it is entirely powered
through the KNX bus.
Figure 1 RailQUAD 8. Element diagram.
The main elements are described next:
Prog./Test Pushbutton (5): a short press on this button sets the device into
the programming mode, making the associated LED (4) light in red.
Note: if this button is held while plugging the device into the KNX bus, the
device will enter into safe mode. In such case, the LED will blink in red every
0.5 seconds.
Inputs (1)(3): input ports for the insertion of the stripped cables of external
elements such as switches / motion detectors / temperature probes, etc. One
of the two cables of each element needs to be connected to one of the slots
labelled “1” to “8”, while the other cable should be connected to the slot
labelled as “C”. Note that all the external input devices share the “C” slot for
one of the two cables. Please secure the connection by means of the onboard screws.
