MTN6720-0008 Schneider SpaceLogic KNX 1-10V Dimmer Eight Circuit Hand Mode 230V White DIN Rail Unit
The MTN6720-0008 is the eight channel member of the SpaceLogic KNX 1 to 10 volt dimming family from Schneider Electric, supplied in white for DIN rail mounting. It performs the same function as the four channel unit but offers higher density, making it ideal for applications requiring multiple control zones.
This device provides eight analogue control outputs in a single unit, occupying less cabinet space and requiring fewer network addresses than multiple four-channel units. The output carries a control signal rather than lamp current, making the actuator electrically compact relative to the lighting it commands. Manual operation is conveniently provided at the actuator for commissioning and maintenance.

The eight-channel design offers significant advantages in cabinet space optimization and commissioning efficiency, reducing the number of network addresses to program and parameters to maintain. However, this concentration of outputs requires careful consideration of operational risk management for mission-critical lighting applications.
- Calculate the number of drivers per output according to manufacturer specifications
- Maintain control cable length within recommended guidelines
- Set minimum and maximum dimming values per channel based on installed fittings
- Finalize zoning requirements before commissioning to avoid disruptive changes
This dimmer is ideally suited for various commercial and industrial applications requiring multiple lighting control zones:
- Large Open Plan Offices: Daylight control across multiple zones with varying facade orientations
- Transportation Hubs: Airports, stations, and shopping centers with long lighting runs divided into energy management zones
- Industrial Facilities: Sports halls and industrial buildings with high bay lighting requiring grid-based daylight response
- Educational Institutions: Schools and universities serving entire buildings with separately zoned teaching spaces, corridors, and social areas
- Distributed Control Systems: Applications where control gear and actuators are separated by distance, making phase dimmers impractical
