1 General
Fans, blower convectors and fan coil units are used for distributed heating and cooling applications. They
are installed rooms and powered via central heating and cooling systems. Using fans, room temperature
can be quickly adjusted to suit individual preferences.
Fan Coil Actuators switch multi-level fans with up to three fan speeds via floating contacts. Three inputs
are available, for monitoring of a window contact and the dew point or for connecting temperature sensors.
An additional contact is possible, for example, for control of an electric heater.
Fan Coil Actuators vary in the way they control the valves.
The Fan Coil Actuators FCA/S 1.1.x.2 have two outputs for control of motor power operated or thermal
heating and cooling valves.
The Fan Coil Actuators FCA/S 1.2.x.2 have two outputs for control of analog heating and cooling valves.

1.2 Product and functional overview
The Fan Coil Actuators FCA/S control a single-phase fan with up to three fan speeds via a step or
changeover control. In the operation mode Changeover, the actuators ensure that no two fan speeds can
be switched on simultaneously. An additional programmable switch-over delay is provided for this purpose.
Three-phase drives are not supported. The output can be used for control of an electrical load. Manual
operation of the device is possible in the variants FCA/S 1.1.2.2 and FCA/S 1.2.2.2.
Fan Coil Actuators control motor power operated, thermal or analog heating and cooling valves, as well as
multi-level fans, via the outputs.
Three inputs are available, e.g. as signaling contacts for window contact and dew point monitoring or as
temperature inputs. The scanning voltage for the inputs is provided by the device.
The devices are modular installation devices in Pro Mdesign with 6-module widths for installation in a
distribution board. Connection to the ABB i-bus®KNX is via the front bus connection terminal. The devices
require no auxiliary voltage. The assignment of the physical address, as well as the setting of parameters,
is carried out with Engineering Tool Software ETS.

With manual operation, the E button activates the device at fan speed 1. The speed can then be increased
to fan speed 2 and fan speed 3 by pressing buttons F and G respectively. To decrease the speed, the
buttons must be pressed in the reverse order. Only then can the device be deactivated by pressing
button E.

1.2.3 Integration in the i-bus®Tool
The device possesses an interface to the i-bus® Tool.
The i-bus® Tool can be used to read out data and test functions on the connected device.
In addition, sensor data can be simulated for test purposes. If there is no communication, no output values
(measured values, thresholds) can be sent to the bus, even if they were simulated using the i-bus®Tool.
The output values are still sent to the bus if cyclical sending is selected.
The i-bus®tool can be used to define temperature values via the communication object, so that the KNX
system can be tested during commissioning without the need to connect a temperature sensor.
The i-bus®Tool can be downloaded for free from our website (www.abb.com/knx).
ETS is not required for the Software Tool. However, Falcon Runtime (version 1.6 or higher and version 1.8
or higher for Windows 7) must be installed to set up a connection between the PC and KNX.
A description of the functions can be found in the i-bus® Tool online help.

2.1.5 Resolution, accuracy and tolerances
Please note that the tolerances of the sensors which are used will need to be added to the listed values.
With sensors based on resistance measurement, it is also necessary to consider the cable error.
In the supplied state of the device, the stated accuracies will not be initially achieved. After initial
commissioning, the device performs an autonomous calibration of the analogue measurement circuit. This
calibration takes about an hour and is performed in the background. It is undertaken regardless of whether
or not the device is parameterized and is independent of the connected sensors. The normal function of
the device is not affected. After calibration has been completed, the calibration values which have been
determined will be stored in the non-volatile memory. Thereafter, the device will achieve this level of
accuracy every time it is switched on. If the calibration is interrupted by programming or bus voltage failure,
it will recommence every time it is restarted. The ongoing calibration is displayed in the status byte by a 1
in bit 4.

PT100
The PT100 is precise and exchangeable but subject to faults in the cables (cable resistance and heating of
the cables). A terminal resistance of just 200 milliohms causes a temperature error of 0.5 °C.
PT1000
The PT1000 responds just like the PT100, but the influences of cable errors are lower by a factor of 10.
Use of this sensor is preferred.
KT/KTY
The KT/KTY has a low level of accuracy, can only be exchanged under certain circumstances and can
only be used for very simple applications.
Please note that there are different tolerance classes for the sensors in the versions PT100 and PT1000.
The table indicates the individual classes according to IEC 60 751 (date: 2008):
Description
Tolerance
Class AA
0.10 °C + (0.0017 x t)
Class A
0.15 °C + (0.002 x t)
Class B
0.30 °C + (0.005 x t)
Class C
0.60 °C + (0.01 x t)
t = Current temperature
Example for class B:
At 100 °C, the deviations of the measurement value are reliable up to ±0.8 °C

*What do the terms AC1, AC3 and AC5a mean?
In intelligent installation systems, different switching capacities and performance specifications that are
dependent on the special applications have become established in domestic and industrial installations.
These performance specifications are rooted in the respective national and international standards. The
tests are defined to simulate typical applications, e.g. motor loads (industrial) or fluorescent lamps
(residential).
Specifications AC1 and AC3 are switching performance specifications which have become established in
the industrial field.
Typical application:
AC1 –Non-inductive or slightly inductive load, resistive furnaces (relates to switching of ohmic/resistive
loads)
AC3 –Squirrel-cage motors: starting, switching off motors during running (relates to (inductive) motor load)
AC5a –Switching of electric discharge lamps
These switching performances are defined in the standard EN 60947-4-1 Contactors and motor-starters -
Electromechanical contactors and motor-starters. The standard describes starters and/or contactors that
were originally used primarily in industrial applications.
