MTN647593 Schneider SpaceLogic KNX REG-K Switch Actuator 4x230V/16A with Manual Mode
This product is a 4-channel mid-load KNX switch actuator belonging to the REG-K series, featuring a 16A per-channel load capacity—positioned between the 10A low-load and 20A high-load models of the same series. It is tailored for scenarios requiring on/off control of medium-power electrical equipment, and the built-in manual mode ensures emergency operability during system failures. It is a cost-effective core device for small-to-medium-sized KNX intelligent systems.
I. Core Parameter Analysis
1. Core Functional Parameters
| Parameter Category |
Detailed Description |
| Channel Configuration & Load Capacity |
4 independent control channels, each supporting 230V AC/16A mid-load switching. Single-channel maximum power reaches 3680W (230V×16A), suitable for medium-power equipment (e.g., commercial air conditioners, ventilation fan arrays, large lighting systems). Channels work independently without mutual interference, meeting partitioned control needs. |
| Product Type & Core Control Logic |
Pure switch actuator focusing on on/off control, compatible with resistive loads (electric heaters, commercial lighting) and inductive loads (medium-power air conditioners, water pumps). The REG-K series exclusive logic includes delayed start/stop (avoids grid impact from simultaneous startup of 4 channels) and overload protection alarm (triggers prompt when load exceeds 16A). |
| Control Mode |
Dual control modes to meet different scenario needs:
1. Automatic linkage: Connect with KNX sensors (temperature, light, door/window), central controllers and smart panels to realize scene linkage (e.g., automatically turn on ventilation fans when temperature exceeds 28℃);
2. Local manual control: Equipped with independent emergency buttons for each channel, enabling direct on/off control without relying on the KNX bus system. |
| System Compatibility |
Complies with KNX TP1 standard protocol, fully compatible with mainstream KNX devices (sensors, gateways, master controllers) and both secure and non-secure KNX systems. Supports connection with KNX IP gateways to realize remote control via mobile APP or cloud platform. |
2. General Technical Parameters (Referenced from Similar REG-K Series Actuators)
| Parameter Category |
Detailed Description |
| Power Supply Mode |
Adopts KNX bus power supply (DC 24V), no additional power wiring required, simplifying system installation and reducing construction costs. Supports redundant power supply to ensure stable operation during bus voltage fluctuations. |
| Installation Method |
Standard 35mm DIN rail mounting, compact size (occupies 2 module positions in the distribution box), can be installed centrally with other KNX devices, facilitating later maintenance and expansion. |
| Protection Rating |
IP20 protection level, suitable for indoor dry environments (e.g., residential distribution boxes, small office weak current rooms, commercial store control cabinets). Cannot be used in humid, dusty, corrosive or outdoor scenarios. |
| Operating Environment |
Working temperature range: 0℃–40℃; storage temperature range: -20℃–60℃; working humidity: 5%–95% (non-condensing). Compatible with 230V AC mains power systems in most regions. |
| Indicator Function |
Equipped with power indicator (red), channel running indicator (green) and fault alarm indicator (yellow). The indicator status can directly reflect the working state of each channel, facilitating quick fault location by maintenance personnel. |
II. Main Application Scenarios
This product is positioned as a cost-effective mid-load control device for small-to-medium-sized KNX intelligent systems, suitable for scenarios that require control of medium-power equipment and have balanced requirements for load capacity and cost. It is widely used in small commercial spaces and large civil residences.
1. Commercial Building Scenarios
- Small-to-Medium-Sized Offices/Startup Studios:The 4 channels control the power supply of office central air conditioners, meeting room projection equipment, ventilation fan arrays and large ceiling lighting systems. Link with temperature sensors to automatically turn on air conditioners when the room temperature exceeds the set value; the delayed start/stop function avoids grid impact when multiple devices start simultaneously.
- Retail Stores/Boutiques:Control the power supply of store display cabinet lighting, commercial air conditioners, background music systems and fitting room ventilation fans. Set "business start mode" to automatically turn on all equipment in sequence at 9:00 a.m.; set "business close mode" to turn off non-essential equipment uniformly at 10:00 p.m. The manual control function is convenient for clerks to adjust equipment status temporarily.
- Cafés/Small Restaurants:Control the power supply of dining area ambient lighting, kitchen exhaust fans, commercial refrigerators and air conditioners. Link with door sensors to automatically turn on welcome lights and exhaust fans when customers enter the store; the overload protection function prevents equipment damage caused by excessive load of kitchen electrical appliances.
- Small Warehouses/Logistics Points:Control the power supply of warehouse ventilation fans, lighting systems, small conveyor belts and electric forklift charging stations. The 16A mid-load capacity can meet the power demand of small logistics equipment, and the manual mode ensures normal operation of key equipment when the system fails.
2. Civil Residence Scenarios
- Large Apartments/Improved Residences:The 4 channels control the power supply of living room central air conditioners, bedroom electric heaters, kitchen large-range hoods and balcony landscape light arrays. Link with voice assistants to realize voice control (e.g., "turn on the living room air conditioner", "turn off the kitchen range hood"); the compact size is suitable for apartment distribution cabinets with limited space.
- Villas/Townhouses:Control the power supply of guest room air conditioners, garage ventilation fans, courtyard fountain pumps and indoor large lighting systems. Set "homecoming mode" to automatically turn on air conditioners and welcome lights when the door is unlocked; set "away mode" to turn off all non-essential equipment uniformly.
- Home Theaters/Private Gyms:Control the power supply of home theater projection equipment, audio systems, gym air conditioners and ventilation fans. Set "movie mode" to automatically turn on projection equipment and audio, and turn off other lighting; the manual mode is convenient for emergency adjustment of equipment during use.
III. Core Product Advantages
- Mid-Load Adaptability & Cost-Effectiveness:16A per-channel load capacity fills the gap between 10A low-load and 20A high-load models, perfectly matching the power demand of medium-power equipment. It has higher cost performance than 20A high-load models, making it suitable for scenarios with balanced load and cost requirements.
- Dual-Control Guarantee & High Reliability:Combines KNX automatic linkage and local manual control, solving the pain point of "equipment downtime caused by system failure". It is especially suitable for key scenarios that cannot afford medium-power equipment shutdown, such as office air conditioners and store refrigerators.
- REG-K Professional Control Logic:Built-in delayed start/stop and overload protection functions, avoiding grid impact and equipment damage caused by improper operation of medium-power loads, and extending the service life of electrical equipment.
- Easy Installation & Maintenance:Standard DIN rail mounting design, consistent with other KNX devices, facilitating centralized wiring and later inspection and replacement; the indicator function enables quick fault location, reducing maintenance time and costs.
- Strong Compatibility & Scalability:Complies with KNX TP1 standard protocol, compatible with mainstream KNX device brands; supports connection with KNX IP gateways and master controllers, and can be flexibly expanded according to the scale of application scenarios.
