The EAE RCU1600 KNX Room Control Unit is an all-in-one DIN-rail actuator for hotel rooms, apartments, and commercial spaces. Delivers 16 × 16 A relay outputs across four independent output channel groups in the 180 mm wide housing — for large suites, conference rooms, or multi-zone commercial spaces.

From a single module it controls lighting, blinds, fan coils, and optional dry-contact inputs where fitted. The RCU1600 is bus-powered (no external auxiliary supply required) and switches resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads in accordance with EN 60669, including fluorescent lamp loads at 16 A / 250 V AC.

Key Features — 16x16A Outputs

Output Configuration

• 16 × 16 A relay outputs: Grouped into 4 independent output channel groups.
• Per-group modes: Switching (×4), AC blind (×2), DC blind (×1), 2-point valve (×2), 3-point valve (×1).
• Manual control: On-device manual override per channel.
• Switching rating: 16 A at 250 V AC — 6 × 10³ ops (resistive) per datasheet.

Room Functions

• Light switch: On/off lighting control.
• AC/DC blind control: Shutter and blind positioning.
• Fan control: Ventilation switching.
• Fan coil control: 2- and 3-point valve HVAC control.
• Dry contact inputs: Card holder, window contact, and other dry inputs (where inputs fitted).

Logic Functions

• Staircase, external logic, priority, threshold, operating hour, sweep.

Applications and KNX Integration

• Hotel guest rooms: Central room controller for lighting, blinds, and fan coil — ideal for GRMS integration.
• Residential apartments: Single-module control of a room's lighting, shading, and HVAC.
• Commercial spaces: Meeting rooms and individual offices with mixed load types.
• Large suites and conference rooms: Four output channel groups support extensive lighting, shading, and multi-valve fan coil layouts.
• Separate actuators: Where only switching or dimming is needed, use the EAE SW108 Switch Actuator or SD110 Dim Actuator.

Choosing EAE Room Control Units

The RCU1600 is the 16-output output-only model in the wide housing. Add inputs with the RCU1616, or move to 20 outputs via RCU2000 / RCU2018. Need universal inputs too? Choose the EAE RCU1616. For maximum output count, see the RCU2000.

EAE naming: RCUXXYY where XX = output count and YY = input count (0 = output-only). All models share the KNX Room Control Unit v2.0 ETS application.
