MERLIN NX ROOM CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS 
  3  EN1Z-1035GE51 R0420 
Wall Mounting/Dismounting 
The unit can be mounted on floors, walls, and ceilings in any 
desired orientation. (See also section "Ambient 
Environmental Limits" on pg. 27 for temperature range 
restrictions with floor/ceiling mounting.) 
The unit is mounted by inserting optional screws 
(recommended: DIN EN ISO 7049 – ST4,2x22 – C – H) 
through the corresponding screwing noses.

After mounting the unit onto the wall, snap the appropriate 
terminal protection covers (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 on pg. 2) into 
place onto the housing by hand. 
NOTE:  In the case of wall-mounting, optional terminal pro-
tection covers (in the case of the RLxN [large 
housings]: IRM-RLC; in the case of the RSxN [small 
housings]: IRM-RSC) must be installed in order to 
comply with IP30. 
The covers can be fixed into place using optional screws 
(recommended: DIN EN ISO 7049 – ST2,9x9,5 – C (F) – H). 
To remove a cover, place a screwdriver in the two leverage 
slots (marked with arrows) and pry it loose. 
 
TERMINAL ASSIGNMENT 
General 
For a complete list of all terminals and a description of their 
functions, see Table 2 and Table 6. 
NOTE:  All terminal blocks capable of carrying either low 
voltage or line voltage are orange-colored. 
The delivery includes a plastic bag containing additional, 
removable terminal blocks for BACnet MS/TP and Sylk 
interfaces. 
The controller is powered by 230 VAC, and is equipped with 
differing numbers of triac outputs, relay outputs, etc. capable 
of being configured in a variety of ways. See Table 1 on page 
1. 
Every controller features a terminal assignment label on the 
top of the housing. 
 
Power Supply Terminals 
▪  Power is supplied via an orange-colored fixed screw-type 
terminal block (terminals 1+2). 
See also section "Power Supply" on pg. 11. 
 
Input / Output Terminals 
The controller features rows of terminal blocks on the top and 
bottom. 
▪  In the case of the RLxN (large housing), the controller has 
double rows of analog outputs (AOs) and universal inputs 
(UIs) at the top and a single row of binary outputs (BOs) – 
triacs (TRs) and relay outputs (ROs) – at the bottom. 
▪  In the case of the RSxN (small housing), the controller 
has a single row of analog outputs (AOs) and universal 
inputs (UIs) at the top and a single row of binary outputs 
(BOs) – triacs (TRs) and relay outputs (ROs) – at the 
bottom. 
NOTE:  According to VDE guidelines, it is not allowed to mix 
low-voltage and high-voltage signals on the relays 
and triacs. 
See also section "I/O Terminals" on pg. 22. 
 
Communication Interfaces 
All models of the controller feature the following communi-
cation interfaces: 
▪  A Sylk Bus interface (RSxN: terminals 20 and 21; RLxN: 
terminals 30 and 31), for connection to TR40x/42x Wall 
Modules; 
▪  An isolated RS485 interface (RS485-1) for use with 
BACnet MS/TP (RSxN: terminals 40, 41, and 42; RLxN: 
terminals 62, 63, and 64); 
▪  An RJ45 connector for connection of the BACnet WiFi 
Adapter; 
▪  A non-isolated RS485 interface (RS485-2), for use with 
Modbus (RSxN: terminals 23, 24, and 25; RLxN: terminals 
26, 27, and 28).
