Why choose it

The FMZ14 offers a compact, bus-controlled switching solution for modern building automation. Its multifunction capability allows adaptation to various switching tasks, while the RS485 bus enables central control and monitoring. The actuator handles both high inrush loads like incandescent lamps and energy-efficient LED lighting.

Ideal use cases

• Switching lighting circuits in residential and commercial buildings
• Controlling electrical loads via a central building management system
• Integration into Eltako RS485 bus installations for distributed switching

Good to know

The device is designed for DIN rail mounting and occupies only one module width. Configuration is possible via PC tool or a rotary switch on the device. The galvanic isolation between control and switching circuits enhances system safety.
