The time interval between the change of direction can be
set in the planning stage through a corresponding para-
meter.
KNX device for independent switching of max. 16 groups
of electrical loads (as a binary output) or independent
controlling of max. 8 drives (as ablind actuator). It has
to be used in KNX installations for control of homes and
buildings.
Description
The binary output / blind actuator ekinex®EK-FE1-TP is
a S-mode KNX rail mounting modular device for inde-
pendent switching electrical loads (single or groups) and
controlling motor drives. To operate the device receives a
telegram from the bus, sent by a KNX device (such as a
pushbutton, a sensor or another switching or control devi-
ce), that causes the opening or the closing of one or more
relays. The device requires an auxiliary 110-230 Vac po-
wer supply.
Main functional characteristics
• Manual switching with membrane pushbuttons
• Status feedback of the output channels through LEDs
• Conguration as normally opened or normally closed
switch
• Logic gates and forced operation mode
• Status feedback (only at bus operating)
• Locking function for each channel
• Time programming: delay for switching on and off, stai-
rcase lighting function with prewarning signal
• Integration in scenes
• Counter of operating hours congurable by bus
Control of blinds
The device can be used for switching and controlling dri-
ves dedicated to the motion of shading systems (such
as roller shutters, blinds, curtains, etc.) or of doors, win-
dows or shutters. In this case, the number of independent
channels reduces to 8. In addition to the manual control
with KNX pushbuttons, the actuator can be programmed
to carry out a fully automatic control depending on infor-

Warning! Motor drives can be damaged by sudden
and repeated changes of the direction of motion. In
order to set the correct time interval for reversing
the direction of motion, refer to the technical docu-
mentation of the drive.

For the installation of the device on the rail proceed as
follows:
• with the aid of a tool bring the locking device in the fully
lowered position (1);
• place the upper edge of the rear inner prole on the
upper edge of the rail (2);
• rotate the device towards the rail (3);
• push the locking device upward until it stops (4).
Before removing the device, be sure the inputs have been
disconnected and the bus terminal has been extracted
from its slot. Use a screwdriver to slide down the locking
device and remove the device from the rail.
Mounting
The device has degree of protection IP20, and is there-
fore suitable for use in dry interior rooms. The housing is
made for rail mounting according to EN 60715 in boards
or cabinets for electrical distribution. The installation is in
horizontal position, the correct position is when the KNX
bus terminal and the 110-230 Vac terminals are located at
the bottom and the terminals for the outputs are located
at the top.
Switching, display and connection elements
The device is equipped with a programming pushbutton
and a programming LED, membrane pushbuttons, LED
for status indication and terminals for connecting the KNX
bus line, the 110-230Vac power supply and the outputs.
Switching elements
• Pushbutton (3) for switching between the normal and
programming operating mode
• Pushbutton (7) for switching between the operating mo-
des: forced (pushbuttons on the front panel: active) or
automatic (pushbuttons on the front panel: not active)
• Pushbuttons (2) for forced operation of the output chan-
nels
• Rated voltage (Un): 100-230 Vac 50 / 60Hz
• Rated current (In): max 16 (10) A (both @ 100Vac and
@ 230Vac)
• Max switched power: max 4000 VA @ 250Vac
• Inrush current: 88 A 20 ms
Environmental conditions
• Operating temperature: - 5 ... + 45°C
• Storage temperature: - 25 ... + 55°C
• Transport temperature: - 25 ... + 70°C
• Relative humidity: 95% not condensing

Connection of the KNX bus line
The connection of the KNX bus line is made with the ter-
minal block (black/red) included in delivery and inserted
into the slot of the housing.
Characteristics of the KNX terminal block
• spring clamping of conductors
• 4 seats for conductors for each polarity
• terminal suitable for KNX bus cable with single-wire
conductors and diameter between 0.6 and 0.8 mm
• recommended wire stripping approx. 5 mm
• color codication: red = + (positive) bus conductor,
black = - (negative) bus conductor
Thanks to the pushbuttons located on the front of the de-
vice, the connected loads can be manually controlled in
the absence of voltage on the KNX bus or when the pro-
gramming has not yet been carried out, and in this way it
is possible to check the functioning of the loads. In these
conditions, however, it is not possible to have the status
feedback through the LEDs.
Connection of the 110-230 Vac power supply
The connection of the 110-230Vac power supply (g. a) is
made with the screw terminals located on the lower front
of the device.

Warning! In order to supply the KNX bus lines use
only KNX bus power supplies (e.g. ekinex EK-AB1-
TP or EK-AG1-TP). The use of other power supplies
can compromise the communication and damage
the devices connected to the bus.
!
Note. It is recommended that the installation of the
device always ensure the full accessibility of the
front side to allow the operation of the pushbuttons.
i
Note. In case of failure of the bus voltage, the
switching of the loads is possible only if they are still
powered with the mains voltage 110-230 Vac. The
relay status in case of failure and reset of the bus
can be set during the device conguration.

Connection of the loads
The connection of the controlled loads (g. b, g. c) is
made with the screw terminals located at the top. In case
the device is used as 8-fold blind actuator f, the terminals
must be connected coupling the channels as follows: 1A-
1B, 2A-2B, 3A-3B, 4A-4B.
Characteristics of the terminals
• screw clamping of conductors
• maximum cross section of conductor 2.5 mm² (single-
wire) or 1.5 mm² (multi-wire)
• recommended wire stripping approx. 6 mm
• torque max 0.8 Nm
The output contacts for the up / down directions are in-
terlocked so that no voltage is applied simultaneously on
both contacts.
Conguration and commissioning
Conguration and commissioning of the device require
the use of the ETS®(Engineering Tool Software) program
V4 or later releases. These activities must be carried out
according to the design of the building automation system
done by a qualied planner.
Conguration
For the conguration of the device parameters the corre-
sponding application program or the whole ekinex®pro-
duct database must be loaded in the ETS program. For
detailed information on conguration options, refer to the
application manual of the device available on the website
www.ekinex.com
Warning! Sockets controlled via bus must be cle-
arly identied. Controlling loads with mobile installa-
tion (e.g. household appliances connected to mains
sockets) must be planned and realized with a care-
ful evaluation of the risks that may arise in the case
of control without direct visual contact with the load
(remote control). Connecting loads different than
those planned, remote controlling without direct ve-
rication of the current conditions of the connected
load or automatic controlling based on scenes or
time-scheduling can cause serious damage to pe-
ople and objects.
