N 535D51
Switching actuator with Load Check
monitoring
5WG1 535-1DB51
Characteristics
Switching actuator N 535D51 can switch eight mutually independent groups of electrical consumers via
eight potential-free outputs.
The switching actuator can switch resistive loads (e.g. electric heater, incandescent lamps), inductive
loads (e.g. motor, low-voltage halogen lamps with upstream wound transformer) or capacitive loads
(e.g. low-voltage halogen lamps with upstream electronic transformer).
The device is suitable for switching loads with high inrush current spikes, particularly for fluorescent lamp
loads (AX) as per DIN EN 60669-2-1.
The permissible lamp loads are listed in the “Technical data” section.
The device is a rail-mounted device in N dimension for installation in arrangements and is installed on
35-mm rails as per standard IEC 60715. The switching actuator is connected to the bus connection with
a bus terminal block. The power supply is supplied via the bus voltage (no additional power voltage is
required). Every actuator output has a potential-free relay with switch position display. Via the relay, the
switch position can be changed with a tool.
Every actuator output has one terminal each for the supply voltage (rated operating voltage AC 230 V)
and the switched load.
The maintenance-free terminals are for connecting solid, fine-stranded and stranded conductors with
conductor cross-sections from 0.5 to 2.5 mm2. Stranded and fine-stranded conductors can be plugged
into the terminals without ferrules.
The terminals have two terminal connections each, allowing, for example, the looping through of the
supply voltage from one actuator channel to the next.
Each of the outputs (relays) can be assigned different functions depending on the application, i.e.
switching actuator N53x consists of the device (hardware) and the application program (software).

Functions
Building site function
The building site function provided ex-factory enables switching the building site lighting on and off via
bus wall switches and actuators, even if these devices have not yet been commissioned with the
Engineering Tool Software (ETS).
Resetting the device to factory settings
A very long push of the programming button of more than 20 seconds resets the device to its factory
settings. This is indicated by an even blinking of the programming LED with a duration of 8 seconds.
All configuration settings are deleted. The building site function of the delivery state is re-activated.

Behavior with bus voltage failure/recovery
In case of bus voltage failure, the current switch status and other values for each output are permanently
stored. On bus voltage recovery, these values are restored. For each channel, the configured actions are
also executed and, if applicable, new status values are reported.
Behavior on unloading the application program
After “unloading” the application program with the ETS, the unloaded device has no functions.
Timer functions
When configuring the device with ETS, one timer and night mode can be programmed. It is possible to
set delayed switching on/on and a warning before switching off occurs.
Overrides
Up to seven different override function blocks can be activated via ETS to override the automation
functions.
Switch cycle and operating hours count
To monitor use, with the right configuration it is possible to count and display the switch cycles and
operating hours of the device. The counting of operating hours can also be configured so that operating
hours are only counted when there is an active current flow.
Load Check monitoring
Optionally, the load check can be measured and the status sent via the bus. The load check can also be
monitored with regard to exceedance or falling short of load check limit values. An adjustment factor and
offset value can be specified.
8-bit scene control
Using 8-bit scene control switching states can be assigned to a scene and activated again later through
the scene.
