FF series

Ekinex sums up the FF series as 'less is more': essential geometry with a decisive line. Its pushbuttons, thermostats, touch displays and socket plates come in technopolymer, metal or Fenix NTM®, with integrated LEDs of adjustable intensity in blue/green or white/red. The finishes can be combined freely, in the FORM, FLANK, 'NF, DEEP and SURFACE lines.

• Pushbuttons: switch loads on and off, dim lighting, drive blinds and shutters or run any programmed KNX function.
• Power: supplied from the KNX bus at SELV voltage, with no auxiliary power supply.
• Rockers and frames: square or rectangular rockers and Form or Flank frames are ordered separately; the 'NF version has no frame.
• Personalisation: rockers can carry text or symbols from the Ekinex library, or a client's own symbols in vector format.
