Why Rako DIN-LINK

Supports up to 64 DPU of DIN modules and up to 30 wired devices

DIN-LINK

The network port for a row of DIN modules, so they sit on the same system as the keypads.

DIN-rail

Clips onto a standard DIN rail in the consumer unit or a Rako enclosure, next to the breakers it works with.

Keypad scenes

The plate on the wall recalls scenes. This module does the dimming or switching in the cupboard.

What the Rako DIN-LINK is

The Rako DIN-LINK bridges the DIN bus and the Rako wired network and powers both from its 24V DC input. Every DIN installation needs one. It plays the role that the RAK-LINK plays for RAK systems.

Where it sits in a Rako system

DIN modules such as the DIN-4T connect on the DIN bus. Wired devices connect through a DIN-CONNECT on its RJ45 port, and a WK-HUB connects to its RJ11 port. A WK-HUB is required to program a wired DIN system. See the Rako DIN range.

Ratings and limits

  • Up to 64 DPU: DIN-4T, DIN-8S and DIN-4C use 8 each; DIN-DLI uses 16
  • Up to 30 wired devices via RJ45; 1 device (Hub or accessory) via RJ11
  • Over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage lockout, reverse-polarity and soft-start protection

Power and connection

It needs 24V DC from a DIN-PSU-100. It has a 4-way DIN bus terminal, an RJ45 port and an RJ11 port. Rako's DIN-LINK instruction manual covers installation, which should be done by a competent electrician.

Fitting

Mounts on a top-hat DIN rail (IEC/EN 60715) and is 9 DIN modules wide (157 x 110 x 59mm, 270g), with 150mm vertical clearance required. It operates from +2°C to +40°C.

Questions

What power supply does the Rako DIN-LINK need?

A DIN-PSU-100, providing 24V DC.

How many DIN modules can one DIN-LINK run?

Up to 64 DPU: for example eight DIN-4T, DIN-8S or DIN-4C modules, or fewer with a DIN-DLI.

Do I need a WK-HUB with the DIN-LINK?

Yes, for programming. Rako states a WK-HUB is required to program a wired DIN system.

Rako app

Scenes from the keypad, and from the phone

This product sits in a Rako system. The keypad on the wall runs the room. With an RK-HUB or WK-HUB, the same scenes also run from the free Rako app.

  • Room scenes from the keypad on the wall
  • App control once an RK-HUB or WK-HUB is on the network
  • Voice, timers and holiday mode from the Hub

The Rako app is published by Rako, and needs an RK-HUB or WK-HUB with firmware 3.7.6 or later.
