Assembly, set-up and connection of on-board control panels
Assembly
The controllers have two independent clean contacts for
controlling a refrigerator unit, a boiler and a presence input.
The 2 tube versions have a 230V output to power the
summer and winter solenoid valve.
The 10 kΩ water temperature probe positioned in the
compartment on the battery regulations the minimum level
when heating (30°C) and the maximum level when cooling
(20°C).
The board also has a function when there is no water
probe, in such cases the fan stop thresholds are ignored.
Slide the control panel into its housing in the upper part
of the device and fix it with the two fixing screws (ref. A).
To install the connection box:
- open the box (ref. B);
- lock the lower tooth into its hole (ref. C) on the side of
the device;
- hook the upper part of the box to the side (ref. D);
- fix it with the two fixing screws (ref. E);
- connect the grounding cable to the fan coil body (ref. M)
using the fixing screws (the minimum force that must be
applied for tightening screws must be around 2N);
- connect the fast connector of the MOTOR to the other
on the board (ref. I) *;
- on the two GRID block terminals (ref. L) there is a
bridge that allows the FWXM-series to work without a
microswitch.
- For other versions, remove the bridge and connect the
two terminals originating on the grill safety microswitch*;
- connect the water probe to the H2 connector on the
device.
The water temperature probe controls the temperature
inside the batteries and determines when the fan starts
according to pre-set parameters (minimum operation
in winder and maximum in summer).** Check that
they are correctly inserted into the compartment on
the battery.
- Connect the electrics, tidy cables and fix them with
the three clevises supplied (ref. G);
- close the box with the 4 screws (ref. H);
- refit the vanity plate on the side of the unit;
- tighten the upper screws on the control panel;
- place the screw head covers in their housing on the
control panel;
* For versions with hydraulic connections on the right,
refer to the relevant paragraph
** The regulation also works without a water probe

There are two dip switches on the controller circuit board
for configuring unit operation as per requirements.
- The night-time heating operation logic is modified by
using dip switch C:
- in the ON position, the fan is always off, and heats the
room using radiation and natural convection, as with
traditional radiators; in the off position it operates as a
normal fan.
- By positioning dip switch B to ON, when cooling, the
fan operates at the minimum speed even after having
reached the set point, to allow for more uniform
operation of the temperature probe and to avoid
layering in the air. With the cursor in the OFF position,
the functions are cycled (4 minutes ON, 10 minutes
OFF).
On closing the contact connected to the CP input (ref. A)
the panel is placed in stand-by mode.
If the contact is open the unit is active, if the contact is
closed it is deactivated when a key is pressed the
symbol flashes.
The input cannot be connected in parallel to that of other
electronic boards (use separate contacts).

Continuous modulation circuit board for connecting remote thermostat
LED Indications (Ref. A)
EKWHCTRL0
The circuit board for remote control is for all functions of
the fan coil system from the wall-mounted remote control
EKWHCTRL0.
A remote control can be connected to a maximum of
30 fan coils that will be controlled in broadcast mode
(simultaneous commands to all fan coils).
It can be installed on all versions, the board has a green
LED that indicates the operational state and any anomalies.
The main operational parameters, the set point and the
room temperature are transmitted from the wall-mounted
remote control EKWHCTRL0 to all terminals connected to
the network, allowing unified operation.
Refer to the instructions for this control for use of the fan
coils.
The 10 kΩ water temperature probe positioned in the
device battery regulations the minimum level when heating
(30°C) and the maximum level when cooling (20°C).
Green LED: Indicates that the unit is
operational. Flashing indicates an anomaly. LED off: unit is off or has no power.
Error signals
Error Display
Communication error. The circuit board expects continuous information exchange on the serial line
with the wall-mounted control EKWHCTRL1. If this exchange is lost for more than 5 minutes, an
error warning is displayed and the unit deactivated.
6 flashes + pause
Problem with fan motor (e.g. blockage caused by foreign objects, faulty rotation sensor). 2 flashes + pause
Water temperature probe fault (H2).
In this case, ensure that the probe installed is 10 kΩ. 3 flashes + pause
Engaging of grille microswitch S1 due to filter cleaning operation. Continuous rapid
flashing
Water demand detected by probe H2 insufficient (above 20°C when cooling, below 30°C when
heating). Stops the fan until the temperature returns to a suitable level to satisfy the demand*. 1 flashes + pause
* If after having powered the board the water probe is
detected, start-up takes place with the minimum and
maximum water temperature thresholds.
The board also has a function when there is no probe, in
such cases the fan stop thresholds are ignored.

Rigid or flexible wires with a 0.2 to 1.5 mm² cross-section
(0.75 mm² if two wires are connected to the same terminal
block) can be inserted in the 4 spring-loaded terminal
blocks (ref. A) for connection of the wall-mounted controller
EKWHCTRL1. If the wires have wire end ferrules with a
plastic collar, the maximum cross-section is 0.75 mm².
Strip 8 mm of the wire, then if the wire is rigid, you can
insert it easily whereas, if it is flexible, it is advisable to use
long nose pliers.
Push the wire completely in and check that it is anchored
by pulling it gently.
To disconnect the cables, press the
corresponding white indent (ref. A) with a
screwdriver and remove the conductor.

The wall-mounted remote control EKWHCTRL1 is an
electronic thermostat (fitted with an optional temperature
probe which can be remotely installed in one of the fan
coils connected to it) with the possibility to control one
or more units (up to max. 30) fitted with an electronic
controller for remote control EKWHCTRL0.
- Install the wall-mounted remote control EKWHCTRL1
away from doors and/or windows and from heat
sources (radiators, fan coils, hobs, direct sunlight), on
internal walls and around 1.5m from the floor.
The wall-mounted remote control is inside the pre-
assembled package, therefore prior to affixing to the wall,
the two parts should be separated by unhooking the two
protruding teeth on the rear (A).
Use the base of the controller (ref. B in diagram) to trace
the fixing points on to the wall (use two opposing holes).
Then proceed with the following operations:
- drill holes in the wall;
- pass the cables through the window on the base;
- fix the base of the controller to the wall using suitable
screws and wall plugs;
- make the electrical connections then close the
controller taking care not to crush the conducting
wires.

Rigid or flexible wires with a 0.2 to 1.5 mm² cross-section
can be inserted in the spring-loaded terminal blocks for
the serial connection. If the wires have wire end ferrules
with a plastic collar, the maximum cross-section reduced
to 0.75 mm².
For correct and safe connection, carry out the following
operations:
- Strip back the wires by 8mm as shown below;
- if the cable is rigid the end of the wire can be inserted
easily, whereas with flexible cable it may be easier to
use a long pointed pair of pliers to insert correctly.
- Push the wire completely in and check that it is
anchored by pulling it gently.
- To disconnect the cables, press the corresponding
white indent (ref. C) with a screwdriver and remove
the conductor.

On closing the contact connected to the CP input (ref.

deactivated when a key is pressed the symbol flashes.
- To connect the CP input in more than one PCB,
observe the polarity between external relay contact
and CP contacts as shown in the figure.

to one or more (up to a maximum of 30) devices fitted with
electronics for remote control EKWHCTRL0 using a suitable
two-core cable for serial connections RS485 keeping the
power supply cables separate.
- Chase out the wall in order to minimise the length of
the leads;
- complete the line with the supplied 120 Ω heating
element;
- do not make "star" connections;
- The RS485 cable connection is polarised, respect the
"A" and "B" indications on every periphery connected
(for connecting, it is preferable to use a shielded two-
core cable with a minimum thickness of 0.35 mm2);
- connect the + and - power terminals on the wall
mounted terminal block, 5V DC, to one of the boards
EKWHCTRL0, respecting polarity.
