The Meanwell KAA-4R4V-S is a 4-channel intelligent dimming actuator specifically designed for EIB/KNX building automation systems. Integrating switch control, dimming adjustment, and scene programming functions, it features a compact design, flexible adaptability, and high reliability. It is extensively employed in lighting and equipment control scenarios within contemporary buildings.

Product Description

Overview

Meanwell KAA-4R4V-S is a 4-channel dimming actuator equipped with high-quality independent latching relays for switching control, compatible with various Meanwell LED drivers. The product specifications indicate the maximum recommended number of LED drivers per channel, facilitating building planning. Based on the KNX architecture, KNX system engineers may programme it as required during planning or operation via ETS software, or manually control it using physical panel buttons. Each channel features an independently configurable green LED indicator to display switch status.

Featuring a modular, compact 4-unit (72mm) width design, it is suitable for installation within 35mm DIN rail distribution boxes in EIB/KNX applications. Connection to the KNX bus is achieved via bus connection terminals. The new version additionally supports KNX Data Secure functionality, which prevents unauthorised manipulation in building automation and can be configured within ETS projects.

Beyond basic switching functionality, this actuator provides a DC 0(1)-10V current sink interface for dimming connected LED drivers or ballasts. The dimming curve is adjustable between linear and logarithmic modes, delivering an enhanced dimming experience for end-users. It can also be integrated with motion sensors within buildings to conserve energy. Powered via the EIB/KNX bus without requiring an additional power supply, it offers reliability and versatility to meet diverse requirements in modern buildings. This makes it widely applicable in building automation, lighting switch/dimming control, and blind/curtain control applications.
