Bus Couplers are non-isolated input devices that provide an interface
between dry-contact mechanical switches and a C-Bus network. The bus coupler
increases the versatility of the C-Bus network by facilitating remote access with any dry-
contact switch mechanism offered by Schneider Electric and other manufacturers.
A system’s exibility can be further enhanced by using the bus coupler with various other
switch types, including reed, pressure, or micro switches.
Available in two- and four-channel models, the bus coupler is small enough to be used in
restricted spaces. Conguration options include standard control functions such as ON/
OFF, toggle, dimmers, and timers.
Product Features
• Provides two or four non-isolated inputs for
external voltage-free mechanical switches.
Two-channel units feature independent remote
LED outputs
• Control options include ON/OFF, toggle,
dimmer, or timer
• Orange LED for each channel to indicate
operational status
• Two-way removable terminal block for the
C-Bus connection
• Terminal block allows connection of up to four
external switches (four-channel coupler) or two
external switches and two external LEDs (two-
channel coupler)
• Small size for adaptation to restricted spaces
• Non-volatile memory stores operating status
for recovery from a power outage
• Receives data and power over a network, so
it does not require power packs or line voltage
connections
Distributed Intelligence
• Compatible with all C-Bus devices and the
Schneider Electric Powerlink

• Easily congured by using Learn Mode or the
C-Bus Toolkit Software
