e:cue Genius 4CH

Multifunctional solution for load switching, energy monitoring and power measuring combined in a single device.

The Genius is a relay controller and energy meter that combines measuring and switching load in a single device. Communication with any third party system is made via the Modbus RTU / ASCII protocol at a RS-485 interface. The Genius 4CH provides four bistable relay interfaces in single-pole, single-throw configuration, accompanied by manual switches for service overrides. The Genius 8CH offers eight of them. It is a modular basic solution for controlling lighting installations. The Genius is easily mounted on standard 35 mm DIN rails, or with a key hole in the housing base on walls or on any stable vertical surface. The Node is AC line powered.
