Termination at PC Board
To reduce the risk of interference, the communication BUS should be terminated at each end, i.e. in the units
that are located at the start and at the end of the BUS respectively. On delivery, all buses are pre-connected
with a 120 Ohm resistor between terminals HI and LO on BUS2. When making further connections, remove
the resistor. As an alternative to resistance, the termination switch on the board can be set to the "ON"
position.

Start up
1.Check that all components and accessories are
enclosed.
2.Assemble and connect system, consult wiring
diagrams.
3.Power-up the system.
4.The system automatically identies all components,
even when they are added at a later stage.
5.Connecting a new product must always be made with
the power off.
System solution
A system consists of a control panel, FCCF, as well as an
optional number (1-63) of units (air curtains, fan heaters,
access points or control panels) and sensors. The set-point
temperature and the fan settings for the system are selected
on the control panel.
The control panel houses a built-in temperature sensor which
can be used, alternatively the products or zones are tted with
external room temperature sensors that have better sensor
positioning for local temperature control.
Heating blocked dependent on outdoor
temperature
With outdoor temperature information (FCOTX / FCTXRF /
outdoor temperature signal in FCBAP), heating is automatically
blocked when the outdoor temperature exceeds 15 °C. The set
point can be changed and this function can be deactivated, see
Settings.
C. Zone with several products with
external room sensors connected to
each product
External room temperature sensors
control each product.
A. Zone without external room sensors
The control panel's temperature sensor
controls all products.
D. Zone with several products, of which, at least
two products have external room sensors and
at least one product does not have an external
room sensor
External room temperature sensors control each
product it is connected to. Products without
sensors are controlled by the control panel's
temperature sensor.
B. Zone with one external room sensor
One external room temperature sensor in
the system controls all products.

Thermostat also controls fan. Fan runs
continously or only when heating.
In Auto fan mode;
“On” = Fan is off when there is no
need for heat
“Off” = Fan runs at set “minimum fan
speed” (FAnL), when there is no need
for heat.
In Manual fan mode;
“On” = Fan is off when there is no
need for heat.
“Off” = Fan always runs at the set fan
speed, regardless if there is need for
heat or not.
