2.1 Overview devices
The manual refers to the following devices (Order Code respectively printed in bold type). For the
actuators with integrated current measurement, a separate manual exists.
2.1.1 Industrial design AKI
Old series (until Q3 - 2013):
AKI-0416.01 Switch actuator 4-fold,4TE, 230V AC, 16 A, C-Load 200µF, industrial design
AKI-0816.01 Switch actuator 8-fold,8TE, 230V AC, 16 A, C-Load 200µF, industrial design
AKI-1216.01 Switch actuator 12-fold,12TE, 230V AC, 16 A, C-Load 200µF, industrial design
The switch actuators from Hardware R3.0 are only supplied by the bus voltage and do not need any
external voltage.
2.1.2 Compact bistable design AKS
Old series (until Q3 - 2012):
AKS-0416.01 Switch actuator 4-fold,4TE, 230V AC, 16 A, C-Load 100µF, standard design
AKS-0410.01 Switch actuator 4-fold,4TE, 230V AC, 10 A, C-Load 100µF, standard design
AKS-0816.01 Switch actuator 8-fold,8TE, 230V AC, 16 A, C-Load 100µF, standard design
AKS-0810.01 Switch actuator 8-fold,8TE, 230V AC, 10 A, C-Load 100µF, standard design
AKS-1216.01 Switch actuator 12-fold,12TE, 230V AC, 16 A, C-Load 100µF, standard design
AKS-1210.01 Switch actuator 12-fold,12TE, 230V AC, 10 A, C-Load 100µF, standard design
New series (from Q3 –2012)
AKS-0416.02 Switch actuator 4-fold, 4TE, 230V AC 16A, C-Load 140µF, new series
AKS-0816.02 Switch actuator 8-fold, 6TE, 230V AC 16A, C-Load 140µF, new series
AKS-1216.02 Switch actuator 12-fold, 8TE, 230V AC 16A, C-Load 140µF, new series
AKS-2016.02 Switch actuator 20-fold, 12TE, 230V AC 16A, C-Load 140µF, new series
The switch actuators of the new series are only supplied by the bus voltage and do not need any
external voltage.
