Location and function of the LEDs and control elements
Mounting and wiring
As an REG device, the Power Block series are suitable for mounting in
distribution boxes on 35 mm DIN rails and wall boxes.
To mount the device, it must be angled to slide onto the DIN rail from
above and then locked into place with a downward movement.
Please make sure that the security latch at the bottom side of the
device snaps into place and that the device is firmly attached to the
rail. To dismount the device, the security latch can be pulled
downwards with a suitable tool and then the device can be removed
from the rail.
After the device has been inserted, the cables for the Outputs should
be attached to the upper and lower connectors. However, please make
sure that these are labelled clearly.
The power supply is connected to the bottom right-hand side
connector according to the order indicated on the casing. To connect
the KNX cable, a standard bus connector is plugged into the
respective entry on the device. Please make sure that there is double
basic insulation between the KNX installation and the power supply.
To do so, please insulate the wires of the KNX cable up to the bus
connector with the enclosed shrinkable tubing.
Please make sure that the cables are laid in a way that ensures
sufficient distance between the inputs and outputs cables.

OUTPUT SCHEMATIC
Each channel can be configured to be used as 2 binary outputs or as
one blind channel. In case Fan Coil controller is selected, 4 outputs will
be used. Each output can be powered by an independent phase.
ANNEX 1: Manual Control
Attention: This option is activated after ETS Download. In delivery
status this option is not available.
The Power Block actuator has 2 push buttons and 2 status LEDs for
each channel on the front side. These buttons can be activated to
control each and every channel/output individually if you select “yes” in
the relevant parameter options in Binary outputs / Shutter/Blinds / Fan
Coil. The LEDs are arranged in two rows, whereas the LEDs
represent:
For Binary outputs
 The top row: channels A1,A2,B1,B2,C1,C2,D1,D2
 The bottom row: channels E1,E2,F1,F2,G1 G2,H1,H2
For Shutter/blinds:
 The top row: channel's first relay A1->UP,
A2->DOWN, B1-UP, etc.
 The bottom row: channel's second relay C1->UP,
C2-> DOWN, D1-> UP, etc.
For Fan Coil:
 The top row:
- FC1: Fan Speed = Fan 1 (A1),
Fan 2 (A2), Fan 3 (B1) // Output valve = B2.
- FC2: Fan Speed = Fan 1 (C1),
Fan 2 (C2), Fan 3 (D1) // Output valve = D2.
 The bottom row:
- FC1: Fan Speed = Fan 1 (E1),
Fan 2 (E2), Fan 3 (F1) // Output valve = F2.
- FC2: Fan Speed = Fan 1 (G1),
Fan 2 (G2), Fan 3 (H1) // Output valve = H2.
MANUAL CONTROL – PARAMETER
The Parameter Mode allows you to control all the channels of the
actuator as configured in the ETS. The Action simulates a telegram
received at the switching object of the selected channel.

Press action: Sends Toggle
ON/OFF command “0/1” to the

Long press action (Channel
output 1):
Sends a UP command “0” to the

Long press action (Channel
output 2):
Sends a DOWN command “1” to
the “Move” object.

Sends a Stop command to the
“Stop…” object.

Valve press action:Sends toggle ON/OFF command to the relay (ON
= Contact closed / OFF = Contact open)
Fan speed press action:Actives the selected Fan Speed switching the
corresponding relays, depending of the configuration Fan Coil Type
(Single or Multiple)

Type of Fan Coil = Single (Only one output can be ON at time)
o LED = ON (indicates the actual Fan Speed active)
o LED = OFF (indicates the actual Fan Speed is not active)
Type of Fan Coil = Multiple (Switch outputs sequentially ON)
o LED = ON (Accumulated ON status, it indicates the actual
Fan Speed active)
o LED = OFF (indicates the actual Fan Speed is not active)
MANUAL CONTROL – TEST
The Test Mode allows you to test all the loads/wiring connected to the
channels. It is independent from the ETS configuration of the actuator
(since the “Manual Control / Param mode + Test mode” is a default
option, you can use the Test mode even before programming the
actuator).
Important note: Should a blind/shutter be connected to a channel, the
2 channels may never be closed at the same time. Therefore, even in
Test mode, if the channel is configured as a blind, this safety measure
is implemented. For this reason, it is better to first commission the
OUTPUT: CHANNEL TYPE SELECTION before using the Test mode.
To change into the test mode, any button can be used depending of
the channel configuration:
- If “Binary” or” Fan Coil” channel is configured: Press any button for
at least 500ms
- If “Blind” channel is configured: Press the two buttons of any channel
at the same time for at least 500ms
To change back to the normal “Parameter Mode” the same procedure
should be repeated. Be aware by changing back to “Parameter Mode”
the device will restart. Also after the device has restarted and if the
channel is configured to be a blind channel, it will do a calibration
movement on the first movement command.
In order to indicate that the actuator is in Manual Control / Test
Mode, the LED of the selected channel is continuously making a short
blinking action every second; no matter whether the channel is ON
(LED ON) or OFF (LED OFF).
