2. Product overview
This guide is for the following SwitchME KNX models from preussen automation:
SwitchME4 KNX Switch actuator 4-ch, 4 SU, 230 VAC, 16 A
SwitchME8 KNX Switch actuator 8-ch, 8 SU, 230 VAC, 16 A
SwitchME12 KNX Switch actuator 12-ch, 12 SU, 230 VAC, 16 A
3. System information
The SwitchME KNX is a product from Instabus KNX Systems and satises international standards (ISO/
IEC 14543-3). It is assumed that readers will already have acquired specialist knowledge in the form of
KNX trainings.
The SwitchME KNX operation is software-dependent. Detailed information on software releases and the
respective functional scope as well as the actual software itself can be found on the product database.
preussen automation has English and German versions of its database available online for download as a
.vd4 le at www.preussen-automation.eu.
preussen automation products comply with the international EMC standard (electromagnetic compatibil-
ity / elektromagnetische Kompatibilität).
4. Functions
4.1 General
The SwitchME series of KNX actuators is ideally
suited to control lighting, window blinds (for example) or other switch functions in a professional KNX
bus installation.
4, 8 or 12 channels can be switched simultaneously. The outputs switch a maximum of 16 A and can
also be manually operated.
The SwitchME KNX generally requires no additional power supply. The SwitchME 8 and
12 KNX only need an additional 24V DC power supply
if synchronous (RTS - real time systems) switching of several channels
is necessary. The autonomous switching of up to twelve devices is enabled by shutter contacts.

electrical service life > 100,000.00
dOutput switch delay without additional power supply
max. delay time per switch change (capacity load time)
with every SwitchME KNX 400 ms
!Note: Voltage overload protection is integrated into the device. This halts active switch proce-
dures and retains the last relay position in the device memory. If a power drop falls into the
cut-off range, this function may prevent the deactivation of a non-switched relay. If the voltage
(capacity of the relay driver) again climbs into the active range, the relay can be reactivated
again in the memory after the interrupted state. If the load capacity is insufcient the delay time
for the switch change is approx. 0.4 s.
dOutput switch delay with additional power supply
max. delay time upon switch change (capacity load time)
SwitchME 8 KNX 100 ms
SwitchME 12 KNX 100 ms
!Note: With some applications a synchronous on/off relay switch is required, because exces-
sive delays are not permissible. In such cases an additional 24-30 V DC power supply can be
connected. The maximum anticipated power with an active relay is 24 mA, and 4 mA with an
inactive relay. If there is insufcient switching capacity, the switch delay for a status change is
approx. 100 ms.
