3 Setup and function
The device is a switch actuator for installing on a mounting rail. The device has, depending on
the selected version, 4, 8 or 12 switching channels and can switch the corresponding number of
connected electric circuits.
After activating the bus voltage the channels can be switched independent of each other in
dependence of other sensors connected to the bus (e.g. via buttons coupled to binary inputs).
The individual channels can also be switched manually on the device.
Advantages:
■4, 8 or 12 switching channels in one device
■Manual switching option on the device for each individual channel
■Variable wiring via 4 mm2clamps with combi-head screw
■Usual manner of wiring of the 230 V lines
Notice
Basic information about system integration is contained in the system manual. It
is available for downloading at www.abb.com/freeathome.
3.1 Scope of supply
The scope of supply contains the switch actuator including bus terminal for coupling to the
free@home Bus.

3.3.2 Description of functions
Light, switch actuator, socket outlet
These functions are not different physically. They merely serve for the visual differentiation of
connected loads in the graphic surface of the System Access Point. The functions are to be
configured for the respective channel of the switch actuator that is being used. The loads can,
for example, be switched via buttons coupled to ABB-free@home®binary inputs, but also by
other ABB-free@home®participants. Depending on the configuration the switch actuator
supports the following functions:
Force-position
The ABB-free@home®sensors which support this function (e.g. binary inputs), make possible
the acceptance of a pre-defined switching state (configurable in the sensor) of one or several
channels (depending on the configuration of the sensors) of the switch actuator and the
simultaneous blockage of the switch actuator against the operation of other ABB-free@home®
devices. The actuator is switched on or off and disabled in dependence of the configuration.
When disabling is active, the actuator cannot be switched via an additional sensor or time
program.
The force-position can be used for protective applications.
Staircase lighting
The switch actuator supports a staircase lighting function and makes it possible to limit the ON
period of a channel via the "switch-off delay" parameter. This guarantees that the staircase
lighting is switched off automatically after a specific period. With a renewed press of the
associated staircase lighting button the switch actuator extends the switch-off delay by the
actual switch-off delay (retrigger), and so extends the ON period of the staircase lighting.
Light scenes and group switching
The switch actuator supports light scenes and group switching.
The scenes and groups can be configured in two ways in the System Access Point.
■Via the floor plan
■Via the automation function (clock icon) under menu item "Groups".
Scene function
In dependence of the number of channels in the device, up to 16 scenes can be allocated.
