Mounting and installation 

The room controller can be mounted on a wall or inside the fan coil unit. The mounting 
location on a wall should not be in niches or bookshelves, not behind curtains, above or 
near heat sources and not exposed to direct solar radiation. Mounting height is about 
1.5 m above the floor. 

 

The controller can be fitted on a recessed conduit box. 

When using a heating / cooling changeover sensor, then, before fitting the sensor, 
thermal conductive paste must be applied to the location on the pipe where the sensor 
is placed. 

 

Also refer to the Mounting Instructions B3058 enclosed with the controller. 

Wiring 

 

  Wiring, fuse and earthing must be installed in compliance with local regulations. It 

must be made certain that safety extra low-voltage lines (SELV circuit) are clearly 
separated from AC 230 V mains voltage cable 

 

  The cables to the controller, external sensor, fan and valves carry AC 230 V mains 

voltage and must be appropriate sized 

 
 

  Only sensors and valves rated for AC 230 V may be used 

  The AC 230 V mains supply line must have an external fuse or circuit breaker with a 

rated current of no more than 10 A 

 

  Maximum 10 changeover contact inputs B1-M can be connected in parallel if an 

external switch is used in place of a changeover sensor. The switch must be suited 
for AC 230 V. The cable length must not exceed 80 m overall 

 

Commissioning 

After applying power, the controller makes a reset during which all LCD segments flash, 
indicating that the reset has been correctly made. This takes about 3 seconds. Then, 
the controller is ready for commissioning by qualified HVAC staff. The control parame-
ters of the controller can be set to ensure optimum performance of the whole system 
(also refer to “Setting the control parameters”). 

 

  Only with RDF210: Depending on the application, the heating / cooling mode must 

be set via parameter P22. Factory setting is “Cooling only”. When using the ”Auto-
matic heating / cooling changeover” function, P22 must be set to “Automatic H/C 
changeover”.  
Note: When P22 is set to “Automatic H/C changeover”, the integrated sensor is 
used for acquiring the room temperature 

Heating / cooling mode 

  If the controller is used in conjunction with a compressor, the minimum output on 

time (parameter P15) and off time (parameter P16) of Y11 must be adjusted in order 
not to harm the life time of the compressor 

Compressor-based 
application 

 

  If the room temperature displayed by the controller dos not accord with the room 

temperature effectively measured, the temperature sensor can be recalibrated. In 
that case, parameter P07 must be changed 

Calibrating the sensor 

  For comfort and energy saving reasons, it is suggested to review the setpoints and 

setpoint ranges (parameters P01…P06) and, if necessary, to change them accord-
ingly 

Setpoint and range 
limitation 

  Only with RDF210: Parameters P98 and P99 are diagnostic values and help check 

the system. With P98, the status of the active temperature sensor is shown and, 
with P99, the status of the heating / cooling changeover sensor
