EAE SW108 8-Channel KNX Switch Actuator

Description

Introduction

The EAE SW108 Switch Actuator is a high-performance KNX DIN-rail device designed for reliable load switching across 8 independently configurable channels. Built to handle standard resistive loads as well as complex capacitive and inductive loads, each channel supports up to 16A continuous current and withstands high peak inrush currents up to 500A. This high inrush tolerance makes it an ideal solution for controlling modern lighting loads such as LED drivers and electronic fluorescent ballasts. This device is part of our KNX system components range.

Engineered for efficient cabinet integration, the SW108 does not require an external power supply and operates directly via the KNX bus. Every output channel features an integrated manual slide switch for direct relay override during setup or maintenance. Comprehensive software features include configurable electric current control alongside extensive channel functions such as stair lighting, threshold detection, priority control, sweep functions, transaction timing, and internal or external logic operations.
