MERLIN NX ROOM CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS 
EN1Z-1035GE51 R0420  12   
Electrical Data 
All Models (230 VAC and 24 VAC) 
 CAUTION 
In the case of capacitor-driven fail-safe actuators, the 
actuators must be directly connected to a suitable 
24-volt power supply. "Suitable" here means: Capable 
of withstanding the high in-rush currents characteristic 
of capacitor-driven fail-safe actuators. 
 
In the case of such actuators controlled by 24-volt versions of 
the controller, this means that the actuator must be connected 
to and powered by the removable power supply (terminals 3 
and 4), only. 
In the case of such actuators controlled by 230-volt versions 
of the controller, this means that the actuator must be con-
nected to and powered by a separate transformer, only. 
Failing to observe this requirement (e.g., by powering such 
actuators via a connection to the controller's power output 
terminals) may result in damage to the controller. This is 
because the controller's 24 VAC output terminals must not be 
subjected to an additional load (besides the inherent load of 
300 mA) exceeding the permitted maximum of 600 mA (24-
volt versions of the controller) or 300 mA (230-volt versions of 
the controller), respectively. 
 
RL4N, RL8N, RS4N (230 VAC) 
Power via terminals 1 + 2: 230 VAC +10% / -15%, 50/60 Hz. 
Max. power consumption (when unloaded):  8 W. 
Max. power consumption (when loaded):  18 W. 
The controller is "unloaded" when it has no external load. 
Thus, the only load on the controller is the inherent load (8 W) 
of the electronics, themselves. The heat dissipation then 
amounts to 8 W. The controller is "loaded" when – besides 
the inherent load – an additional sum load resulting from max. 
300 mA (irrespective as to whether it is supplied by the con-
troller's internal transformer or by an external source) is 
applied to the 24 VAC output terminals. The max. unloaded 
output voltage at terminals 3 and 4 (RSxN) or terminals 5 and 
6 (RLxN), respectively, is 33 VAC (typically: 29.5 VAC). 
 
RL6N, RS5N (24 VAC) 
Power via terminals 3+4: 24 VAC 20%, 50/60 Hz. 
Max. current consumption (when unloaded):  300 mA. 
Max. current consumption (when loaded):  900 mA. 
The controller is "loaded" when – besides the inherent load 
(300 mA) – an additional sum load resulting from max. 600 
mA is applied to the 24 VAC output terminals. The max. 
unloaded output voltage at terminals 3 and 4 (RSxN) or 
terminals 5 and 6 (RLxN) is identical with the output voltage 
of the external supplying transformer.
