Functions
Using the master actuator and its extension modules, several types of channels are available.
When configuring the extensions used on the system, the following types of actuators are available:
- Switching actuator (4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 24 chan.)
- Heating actuator
- Dimming actuator
- Analog actuator
- LED actuator
- Virtual Logic module
- Each channel state is displayed by a LED. The LED is ON when the channel is energized.
- Channel description can be defined for each channel, this description is displayed in the parameters tab and in the group objects description to allow easy identification of the channels for group addressing.
- Advanced logic functions are available as virtual extension modules. Each logic module includes 8 logic functions.
- Manual control of outputs independent of the bus (for instance, building site operation) with LED status indicators.
- Each output offers the full scope of functions without any restrictions. All channel-oriented functions can be parameterized separately for each output.
- Behavior in case of bus voltage failure and bus voltage return as well as after ETS programming is presettable.

Master actuator
The actuator system is based on a master actuator, MSA-810, which includes 8 switching channels 10A. If additional channels are required, extension modules can be plugged in.
The switching functions described above are applicable to any switching channel, on the master or any of the switching extensions. Any supposable mixed form of switching outputs and shutter output is possible.
Extensions
When configuring the actuator system, up to 8 extension modules can be added to the master. Each extension must be connected to the previous module using the left side connector. Extensions can only be used on the same row as the master actuator.
The following types of extensions are available :
General purpose switching channels :
- SAE-810: Switching Extension 8-fold / 10A
- SAE-2410: Switching Extension 24-fold / 10A
High power switching channels:
- SAE-816: Switching Extension 8-fold / 16A
Other types of extensions :
- DOE-825 : Digital Output Extension 8-fold / 0,25A - 12-30VDC
- HAE-805 : Heating Extension 8-fold / 24-230VAC
- AAE-410 : Analog Extension 4-fold / 0-10V
- LAE-802 : LED Extension 8-fold / 2A – 12-24VDC
- DAE-225 : Dimmer Extension 2-fold / 250W
Usage & limitation
A maximum of 8 extensions can be connected behind the master actuator, which makes a potential of 72 outputs depending on the extensions used. Multiple master actuator systems can be used to extend the installation beyond these limits.
Switching outputs 10A are limited to maximum 40 channels on one master actuator. This includes the channels of the following modules:
- MSA-810 (8 channels 10A)
- SAE-810 (8 channels 10A)
- SAE-2410 (24 channels 10A)
Ex: 1 Master + 1 SAE-2410 + 1 SAE-810 = 40 channels 10A
All other types of extensions can be used in addition to a maximum of 8 extensions on a master.
Additional switching channels 16A can be used on the same master without limitation.
If additional channels 10A are required, a new master should be used.
