The Analogue Actuator converts telegrams received via KNX into analog output signals. These signals
allow terminal devices in the heating, air-conditioning and ventilation technology or lighting technology to
adapt their output variables using bus information and participate in control processes.

2.3 Mounting and installation
The AA/S 4.1.2 is a modular installation device for quick installation in the distribution board on 35 mm
mounting rails to DIN EN 60 715.
The AA/A 2.1.2 is a surface mounted device.
The installation position can be selected as required.
It connects to the electrical supply using screw terminals and to the bus using the supplied bus connection
terminal. The pin assignments are located on the housing.
The device is ready for operation once the bus voltage (for AA/A 2.1.2) or the auxiliary and bus voltages
(for AA/S 4.1.2) have been applied.
The device must be accessible for operation, testing, visual inspection, maintenance and repair in
compliance with DIN VDE 0100-520.
Commissioning requirement
In order to commission the device, a PC with ETS, as well as a connection to the ABB i-bus®, e.g. via a
KNX interface, is required.
The device is ready for operation after the bus voltage is applied. An auxiliary voltage is required
(AA/S 4.1.2 only).
Important
The maximum permissible current of a KNX line must not be exceeded.
During planning and installation ensure that the KNX line is correctly dimensioned.
The device has a maximum current draw of 12 mA.
Do not feed the outputs with any external voltage. Connected components must be reliably isolated
from other voltages.
The 0 V terminals on the outputs are connected with each other internally.
Mounting and commissioning may be carried out only by electrical specialists. The applicable standards,
directives, regulations and specifications for the country in question should be observed when planning
and setting up electrical installations and security systems for intrusion and fire detection.
Protect the device from damp, dirt and damage during transport, storage and operation.
Only operate the device within the specified technical data!
The device should only be operated in an enclosed housing (distribution board)!
The voltage supply to the device must be switched off before mounting.
Danger
All poles must be disconnected when expanding or modifying the electrical connections.

Supplied state
The device is supplied with the physical address 15.15.255. The application is pre-installed. Therefore, all
that is necessary is to load group addresses and parameters during commissioning.
The complete application can be reloaded if required. Downloads may take longer after a change of
application or a discharge.
Assignment of the physical address
The assignment and programming of the physical address are carried out in ETS.
The device features a Programming button for assignment of the physical address. The red Programming
LED lights up after the button has been pressed. It goes off as soon as ETS has assigned the physical
address or the Programming button is pressed again.
Download response
Depending on the PC that is used, the progress bar for the download may take up to one and a half
minutes to appear, due to the complexity of the device.
Cleaning
The voltage supply to the device must be switched off before cleaning. If devices become dirty, they can
be cleaned using a dry cloth or a cloth dampened with a soapy solution. Do not use corrosive agents or
solutions.
Maintenance
The device is maintenance-free. In the event of damage (e.g. during transport and/or storage), do not carry
out any repairs.
