The ABB UD/S4.210.2.1 KNX LED Dim Actuator is a multichannel universal dimming actuator optimised for retrofit LED lamps (LEDi) in ABB i-bus® KNX projects. Four independent channels deliver up to 4 × 210 W/VA at 230 V~, with outputs combinable in parallel for a maximum of 1 × 600 W/VA on a single load.
Install on standard 35 mm DIN rail (MDRC). The module includes an integrated KNX bus coupler and supports commissioning with or without applied mains voltage — a practical advantage during early project phases.
Key Features and Dimming Capabilities
The UD/S4.210.2.1 is engineered for stable dimming across modern LED retrofits and legacy lamp types, with per-channel neutral wiring for flexible circuit design.
Universal Load Support
- 4 dimming channels: Independent control of four lighting circuits with separate N-connection per channel.
- LEDi optimised: Dimmable 230 V~ LEDi up to 4 × 210 W/VA (trailing edge) or 4 × 80 W/VA (leading edge); parallel up to 1 × 600 W/VA / 1 × 200 W/VA respectively.
- Legacy compatibility: Incandescent, 230 V halogen, low-voltage halogen (conventional L or electronic C transformers), and dimmable energy-saving lamps.
- Transformer loads: Inductive L-transformers and electronic C/LC-transformers with LED or LV halogen — see Technical Specifications for per-type limits.
- Minimum load: 2 W for stable dimming of low-power LED circuits.
Commissioning, Diagnostics, and Control
- Automatic load detection: Identifies connected load type automatically (can be deactivated).
- Parallel outputs: Channels can be connected in parallel in any configuration to increase output power.
- Manual operation: On-device control possible without bus voltage or in unprogrammed status.
- Safe programming: Device can be configured without applied 230 V supply voltage.
- ABB i-bus® Tool: Extensive test and diagnosis functions for field troubleshooting.
- ETS efficiency: Fast parameterisation using copyable channel templates.

Choosing UD/S Universal Dim Actuators
ABB offers the UD/S family in several channel counts and power ratings. The UD/S4.210.2.1 (4 × 210 W/VA) suits standard multi-circuit lighting panels. For higher per-channel headroom, consider UD/S4.315.2.1 (2 × 315 W/VA) or UD/S6.210.2.1 (6 × 210 W/VA) when six independent dimming circuits are required in one MDRC position.
