Description
Introduction
The ABB SUG/U1.1 Split Unit Gateway forms the interface between the KNX system and air conditioners from many manufacturers, commonly known as split units. By converting KNX telegrams into direct infrared commands, this device enables seamless control of split unit ACs via standard KNX sensors or visualization systems without requiring an external auxiliary power supply. This device is part of our KNX AC Controller range.
Given that product details are streamlined, exact procurement verification against your Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is critical. Specifying the correct model SKU SUG/U1.1 ensures full compatibility with the official ETS app software used to select the specific air conditioner model, preventing costly ordering errors and site delays.
