Power for the Triac outputs must be reduced if the maximum load of 18 VA is required for AC 24V field supply on the DXR2.x18.
NOTE:
To calculate the total VA, add the Base Load + the number of Triacs + field supplies+ KNX PL-Link devices.
This cannot exceed the maximum power consumption. See the Wiring Guidelines for more information.
