Description
In a regular Niko Home Control installation the integrated power supply of the connected controller ensures the 26Vdc voltage on the bus, the modules and the control elements. An additional power supply is only necessary for large installations with many users. Several additional power supply modules can be connected in parallel in one single installation.
Overview
Dimensioning
Rule of thumb
To calculate the required amount of additional power supplies, you can use the following rule of thumb: up to 24 cabinet modules and 70 controls (of which 20 with indication LED) per power supply. The integrated power supply of the connected controller counts as one power supply. Depending on the size and layout of your installation, you will need to install no, one or several additional power supplies.
This rule of thumb leaves a margin for error.
Exact calculation
Each control and module consumes a specific amount of energy. This consumption is expressed in points (see tables on the following pages). The first 800 points are absorbed by the integrated power supply in the connected controller. An additional power supply is needed for every additional 800 points. Add the points of all the controls and modules of the installation, divide this sum by 800 and subtract 800 points. The result is the required number of additional power supplies.

Installation
Wiring diagram
Each extra power supply has a capacity of 10 W. Determine the exact number of extra power supplies required prior to commencing the installation process. See Dimensioning.
Follow the steps below to connect and mount a power supply module:
- Click the extra power supply onto a DIN rail.
- Connect all four connection terminals (+, –, B1, B2) to the corresponding connection terminals of the connected controller, rail coupler or the power supply on the previous and next rails.
- Each module is fitted with a sliding contact. Slide the sliding contact to the right until it clicks into the next module. This will ensure that the bus and the power supply voltage are connected.
- Connect the L phase wire and the N neutral conductor to the L and N screw terminals respectively.
Error codes
When the module is functioning properly, the STATUS LED will light up in TEST mode only. If one or several errors occur, the LED will blink to indicate the error code of the error with the highest priority. The table below provides an overview of all error codes.
Press the TEST button on the controller to activate TEST mode.
LED | ACTION | ERROR | POSSIBLE CAUSES |
|---|---|---|---|
STATUS LED | Blinks – one pulse per two seconds. | Software error | Wrong software version.* *Download the latest software version from the Niko website to upgrade the module. |
Blinks – two pulses per two seconds. | Overload or short circuit | The bus is connected incorrectly. | |
The bus voltage is too low. | |||
Bus overload. Check all points. | |||
One of the bus members is defective. | |||
Blinks – three pulses per two seconds. | Overheating | The temperature inside the electrical cabinet is too high. | |
MASTER LED | No error codes possible. | Not applicable | |
BUS LED | No error codes possible. | ||
POWER LED | No error codes possible. | ||
