Device description

The device is a modular installation device (MDRC) The device is powered via the bus
in proM design. It is designed for installation in (ABB i-bus® KNX) and requires no additional auxil-
electrical distribution boards and small housings iary voltage supply. The connection to the bus is
with a 35 mm mounting rail (to EN 60715). made via a bus connection terminal on the front of
the housing. The loads are connected to the out-
