MDT Universal Actuator – Versatile control for lighting, blinds and HVAC systems
The MDT AKU-0x16.03 universal actuator is a powerful and flexible actuator for KNX systems, which can be used as either a switching or blind actuator. With up to 24 switching outputs or 12 blind channels, it is perfectly suited for controlling lighting, shading, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in residential and commercial projects. The five available versions (4, 6, 8, 16, or 24 channels) offer maximum adaptability to any installation.
