Description
Introduction
The Schneider MTN647593 is a modular KNX switch actuator (REG-K/4×230/16) engineered for controlling electrical loads across smart building automation systems. Operating over the standardized KNX system bus, this light grey 4-channel device allows independent switching of up to 4 separate electrical contacts at nominal currents up to 16 A per channel. This device is part of our KNX system devices range.

Designed for standard DIN rail mounting occupying a total of 4 module widths (18 mm each), the unit integrates manual override functionality for fast commissioning and direct physical operation. It offers flexible switching performance across commercial and residential infrastructure, helping to optimize building energy utilization and operational performance.
