Panasonic KNX IR Receiver Interface WRKT26411NC

Description

Introduction

The Panasonic WRKT26411NC KNX IR Receiver offers a compact and reliable bridge between traditional infrared-controlled equipment and standard KNX building automation systems. Designed to fit directly inside standard electrical junction boxes with dimensions of 37 × 38 × 11.5 mm, this module operates completely on the KNX bus line without requiring an external auxiliary power supply. This device is part of our professional Accessories range.

Engineered for versatile deployment in commercial and residential projects, the unit supports bi-directional integration across 100 channels (IR to KNX and KNX to IR). Using ETS DCA configuration software, system integrators can easily capture, program, and manage IR commands to control split-type air conditioners, media players, lighting scenes, and shading systems.
