EAE RCU1616 KNX Room Control Unit (SMP RCU1616)

Description

Introduction

The EAE RCU1616 Room Control Unit (SKU: SMP RCU1616) is a high-density, all-in-one KNX actuator designed to manage room automation functions from a single interface. Engineered for multi-functional control across lights, AC/DC blinds, and fan coil units (including 2 and 3 point valve control), it integrates 16 outputs rated at 16A along with 16 dry contact digital inputs, eliminating the requirement for an auxiliary power supply. This device is part of our KNX Actuators products range.

Fully compliant with EN 60669 standards, the RCU1616 reliably switches resistive, capacitive, and inductive electrical loads. Its 16 independent input channels act as universal interfaces capable of handling push buttons, dimming, shutter control, value transmission, scene management, and pulse counting, providing a robust solution for building automation engineers and integrators.

Key Features

• 16 output channels rated at 16A and 16 dry contact digital inputs.
• Does not require an external power supply for operation.
• Multi-application switching: lighting, AC/DC blind control, and fan coil 2 & 3 point valves.
• EN 60669 compliant load switching for resistive, capacitive, and inductive circuits.
• Standard switching modes: Staircase lighting, External logic, Priority, Threshold, Operating hour, and Sweep.
• Universal input functions: Switch/push button, Dimmer control, Shutter/blinds control, Value transfer, Scene control, and Count pulse counter.

Benefits

• All-in-one room control interface managing lighting, shading, and HVAC valves from a unified hardware unit.
