Description
Introduction
The EAE RCU1212 Room Control Unit (SKU: SMP RCU1212) is an all-in-one KNX actuator designed to manage multifaceted room automation functions from a single, centralized interface. By integrating 12 x 16A relay outputs and 12 digital universal inputs, this device provides comprehensive control over lighting networks, AC/DC motor-driven blinds, and fan coil HVAC installations. This device is part of our KNX automation components range.

Engineered for maximum utility and simplified installation, the RCU1212 operates without requiring an external power supply. It accommodates switching for resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads in compliance with EN 60669 standards, making it a dependable solution for electrical consultants, system integrators, and commercial installers.
Key Features
- 12 output channels rated at 16A for load switching per EN 60669.
- 12 digital dry contact input channels functioning as universal control interfaces.
- HVAC fan coil control capabilities accommodating both 2-point and 3-point valve actuators.
- Motorized shading control for both AC and DC blind systems.
- Built-in operational logic: staircase lighting, priority control, threshold management, sweep control, and hour counter.
- Flexible input parameterization: switch/push button, dimmer control, shutter/blind operation, value transfer, scene selection, and count pulse inputs.
Benefits
- All-in-One Functionality: Integrates switching, shading, fan coil regulation, and binary input monitoring within a single KNX device.
- No Auxiliary Power Required: Operates without an external power supply, reducing cabinet footprint and hardware installation overhead.
- EN 60669 Compliant Switching: Designed to safely handle resistive, capacitive, and inductive load types across 12 high-capacity 16A outputs.
- 12 Universal Inputs: Features 12 dry contact channels that support versatile field input configurations including dimming, blinds, and pulse counting.
- Integrated Smart Logic: Built-in operational functions such as staircase timing, external logic control, priority operations, operating hour counters, and sweep control.
Technical Specifications
Applications
- Hotel Room Management: Centralized control of guestroom lighting zones, motorized blinds, wall push buttons, and fan coil heating/cooling valves.
- Commercial Offices: Unified management of office lighting, motorized solar shading, fan coil units, and dry contact switches.
- Residential Automation: Comprehensive multi-zone switching, shade positioning, and HVAC valve actuation in KNX smart home installations.
Installation Notes
- Mount the unit inside a suitable distribution board; no external auxiliary power supply connection is required as the unit operates direct off the bus.
- Verify that load connections across all 16A output relays strictly match EN 60669 requirements for resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads.
- Connect potential-free contacts to the 12 digital inputs and configure input channel functions in ETS (e.g., switch, dimmer, shutter, or pulse counter).
Developer Resources
- Official manufacturer product documentation and ETS database files are available through the official EAE Technology website.
