Product Information
Full details
This Eaton xComfort switching actuator is designed for home automation professionals and advanced DIYers looking to integrate smart control into existing electrical systems. Its key benefit is the compact design allowing for flush-mounted installation behind standard wall switches, lights, or in junction boxes, enabling control of lighting, ventilation, or heating circuits up to 2300W. A caveat to consider is its reliance on the xComfort bus system for communication.

Can this actuator be used with a standard light switch?
Yes, it is designed to be integrated with existing wall switches, allowing for both manual and automated control of the connected load.
What bus system does this actuator use?
This actuator is specifically designed for the Eaton xComfort radio frequency bus system.
Where can this actuator be installed?
It is designed for flush mounting in standard electrical boxes behind switches, sockets, motion sensors, or within distribution boxes, requiring a minimum depth of 18mm.
Is this actuator suitable for outdoor use?
No, it has an IP20 degree of protection, making it suitable only for dry indoor environments.
How many outputs does this actuator have?
This specific model, CSAU-01/01-10, has one switching output.
Does the bus connection need to be permanently attached?
No, the bus module is detachable, offering flexibility during installation and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Actuator not responding to commands
Verify power supply to the actuator. Ensure the actuator is correctly paired with the xComfort system. Check bus connection integrity.
Connected load (e.g., light) not turning on/off
Check the wiring between the actuator and the load. Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum switching capacity (2300W/10A). Test the load independently.
Actuator is not discoverable during pairing
Ensure the actuator is powered and within range of the xComfort system's central controller or pairing device. Reset the actuator if possible and attempt pairing again following the xComfort system manual.
Intermittent operation
Check for potential interference with the radio frequency signal. Ensure the actuator is not excessively far from the nearest xComfort repeater or control unit. Verify stable power supply.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Installation: This actuator is designed for flush mounting within a wall box behind a switch, sensor, or in a distribution box. Ensure the installation box has a minimum depth of 18mm.
- Wiring: Connect the actuator to the 230V AC power supply and the load (e.g., light fixture) according to the wiring diagram provided by Eaton. Ensure all electrical work is performed by a qualified electrician.
- Bus Connection: Connect the actuator to the xComfort bus system using the included bus connection.
- Pairing: Follow the xComfort system's instructions to pair the actuator with your central controller or other wireless devices (e.g., sensors, remote controls).
Compatibility:
- Bus System: Exclusively compatible with the Eaton xComfort radio frequency bus system.
- Loads: Suitable for loads up to 2300W (230V AC, 10A), including resistive loads like lighting, and inductive loads like small fans (ensure C-load compatibility).
- Sensors/Switches: Works with standard wall switches, indicator lights, motion sensors, and twilight switches within the xComfort ecosystem.
Care:
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Maintenance: No user-serviceable parts inside. Regular checks of system connectivity are recommended.
