Device description FCS Radio Control Transmitting Module
Application
Radio Control Transmitting Modules FCS are the interfaces in the signal chain
between line and wireless transmission path.
FCS is prepared ready-to-plug for reception in the plug positions KA1..KA8 of the
MFC. In combination, the FCS and MFC establish the function unit of a receiving
radio converter for a signal chain
FCS operates unidirectionally, i.e. field devices (e.g. radio controlled actuating
drives MD100Y) are wirelessly driven through periodically sent radio telegrams.
Optionally, 0..10 V radio telegrams or KP10 radio telegrams can be transmitted.

FCS Radio Control Transmitting Module Device description
Assembly
General installation notes
Devices communicating via radio can not always be assembled at arbitrary locations, as wireless data
transmission is more or less strongly influenced by the constructional and spatial conditions.
Prior to installation and assembly, therefore, the building volumes must be analysed and a series of
measurements must be carried out to determine the specific ranges inside the building. A Kieback&Peter
measurement set is available for this purpose.
To establish an operational and functionally secure communication path, the following aspects must be taken into
account prior to and during planning:
• Natural and constructional influences limit the transmission ranges that can be realised. Building materials and
screening elements (e.g., installation shafts, fire doors, switching cabinet doors, etc.) must be taken into
account already during the planning phase.
High humidity increases the natural signal attenuation.
Warning
Recommendation: Plan the radio lines horizontally, on one level with max. 30 m distance
between transmitting and receiving components.
Note
• Observe the minimum distances to potential sources of interference
- min. 0.5 m to high-frequency interference sources (e.g., microwaves, transformers, computers...)
- min. 3 m to transmitters of other function systems (e.g., wireless telephones, headphones...)
- min 0.1 m to metal and door frames
correct false
• Do not choose the installation site in the radio shadow of screening building parts/volumes →no direct
reception possible.
• In the fringe range of reliability, slightly change the position of transmitter/receiver if required (to reduce
heterodyne radio waves).

Device description FCS Radio Control Transmitting Module
The assembly of the Radio Control Transmitting Modules FCS in the MFC may only be carried out by
qualified specialists at an MFC switched voltage-free!
Warning
1 Before starting assembly work, the MFC must be safely disconnected!
2 Take off the housing hood of the MFC after
loosening the two base screws at the side.
3
Plug the FCS into the desired reception socket
KA1..KA8.
4 Carry out initial operation (see paragraph “Initial operation”).
5 Place the MFC housing hood back on and secure it with the two base screws.

FCS Radio Control Transmitting Module Device description
Addressing
The Radio Control Transmitting Module FCS has 3
rotary switches to set the system code and the device
address.
By means of the 3-digit address code, radio paths with
theoretically up to 999 participants can be established.
Note
The set address code at the FCS must match that of the corresponding receiver (e.g. MD100Y) so
that an unambiguous allocation between transmitter and receiver of the radio path is determined.
On principle, a Radio Control Transmitting Module FCS can be effective on more than one wirelessly driven field
device.
Setting the address code
Device address System code
The 3-digit address code consists of a 1-digit system code and a 2-digit
device address
Example for address 123:
System code 1
Device address 23
− Via the system code, participants of a radio network can be grouped according to different criteria, e.g. floor.
− The device address differentiates the network participants within one system code.

Description of initial operation
1. Before switching on the mains, the correct assembly and the electric connection is to be checked.
Initial operation may be carried through by qualified expert personnel only!
Note
Specific settings and functions of the FCS are described in this device description. In addition to
these notes, the device descriptions MFC, MD100Y, F/MD, MFA, FCE must be observed.
1 Set the address code
The same address code must be set at the assigned receiving modules as well.
Warning The device is delivered with the setting “000”.

2 Select the signal type via the operating mode switch
- Sensor mode KP10
- Actuation mode 0..10 V
3
Compare address code with field devices to be driven, i.e. the FCS and the assigned radio communicating
field device must have the same address code.
4 Teaching the radio controlled actuating drives
Actuating drive MD100Y
• Set the actuating drive to learning mode (see device description MD100Y);
if applicable, set further actuating drives MD100Y to learning mode if they are driven by the same
transmitting module.
Press the covered learning button at the FCS with the appropriate contrivance
→The address code is conveyed via a radio telegram to all ready-to-receive
actuating drives MD100Y in learning mode.
→Synchronisation of the transmission interval of radio telegrams of all ready-
to-receive actuating drives MD100Y in learning mode.
→MD100Y acknowledges the correct reception of the radio telegram via a
series of tones.
Actuating drive MD200Y/MD210Y with radio module F/MD
• Set the address code of the Transmitting Module FCS at the bidirectional Radio Module F/MD;
If required, repeat the setting with further actuating drives, in case these are driven by the same
transmitting module (see device description F/MD).
• Set 0..10 V radio telegram (drive mode 0..10 V) at the F/MD (see device description F/MD).
• The learning of the Transmitting Module FCS and the assigned driven field devices is now carried out
automatically with the next regular radio telegram. A special learning mode is not required, as the
receiver of the Radio Module F/MD is always active and ready to receive.
