Functions
The controller acquires the room temperature with its integrated sensor or external
room temperature sensor (QAA32) or external return air temperature sensor (QAH11.1)
– if used (optional with the RCC10) – and maintains the setpoint by delivering control
commands to the 2-point-valve.
The switching differential with the
• RCC10 is adjustable; it can be 1 or 4 K in heating mode and 0.5 or 2 K in cooling
mode
• RCC10.1 is fixed; it is 2 K in heating mode and 1 K in cooling mode
The fan is switched to the selected speed via control output Q1, Q2 or Q3.
When the function “Temperature-dependent fan control“ is activated (can be selected
with DIP switch no.1), the fan is switched on / off depending on the temperature, that is,
together with the valve.
It is switched off by
• leaving the heating or cooling sequence, provided the function “Temperature-
dependent fan control “ is activated, or
• manually changing to standby , provided plant conditions do not call for frost
protection mode (only with the RCC10), or
• activating an external operating mode changeover switch, provided plant conditions
do not call for energy saving or frost protection mode (only with the RCC10), or
• turning the controller’s power supply off.
The heating or cooling valve receives the OPEN command via control output Y11 when
1. the measured room temperature lies by half the switching differential below the
setpoint (heating mode) or above the setpoint (cooling mode), and
2. the valve has been fully closed for more than one minute.
The heating or cooling valve receives the CLOSE command via control output Y11
when
1. the measured room temperature lies by half the switching differential above the
setpoint (heating mode) or below the setpoint (cooling mode), and
2. the valve has been fully open for more than one minute.
Note: control output Y12 delivers a control command which is inverted to the control
command at output Y11 and can be used for normally open valves
The RCC10 provides control either depending on the measured room temperature or
depending on the fan coil unit’s return air temperature. Changeover is automatic if a
QAH11.1 cable temperature sensor is connected.

The water temperature acquired by the changeover sensor (QAH11.1 + ARG86.3) is
used by the controller to switch from heating to cooling mode, or vice versa. When the
water temperature lies above 28 °C, the controller switches to heating mode, below
16 °C it switches to cooling mode. If, immediately after switching on, the water tempera-
ture lies between the 2 changeover points, the controller will start in heating mode. The
water temperature is measured at minute-intervals and the operational status updated.

The task of the changeover sensor is to initiate the change from heating to cooling
mode even if the two-port valves are shut down for a longer period of time. To ensure
this function, the valves are opened for one minute at 2-hour intervals during off hours.
(Note: this function is not effective when using thermal actuators)
The room temperature setpoint can be limited in increments of 1 K by making use of
the minimum and maximum limitation facility. Arbitrary setpoint readjustments can thus
be prevented.
Operating modes
The following operating modes are available:
Heating or cooling mode with automatic changeover and with manually selected fan
speed III, II or I. In normal operation, the controller maintains the adjusted setpoint.
The frost protection function is activated only when DIP switch no.4 is set to OFF.
Frost protection mode can be activated either
• by manually switching to standby .
• by activating the external operating mode changeover switch, provided DIP switch
no.2 is set to OFF
If the room temperature falls below 8 °C, the controller will automatically switch to frost
protection mode. In that case, the heating valve opens and the fan operates at the se-
lected speed. If the operating mode selector is in position standby , the fan will oper-
ate at speed I. The room temperature is maintained at a setpoint of 8 °C and the set-
point adjusted by the user will be ignored.
If frost protection mode is locked (DIP switch no.4 in position ON), standby is locked
also, which means that the controller will not switch to standby but to OFF:
In energy saving mode, the setpoint of heating is 16 °C and the setpoint of cooling 28
°C, independent of the position of the setpoint knob. This operating mode will be acti-
vated when input D1 for operating mode changeover is active and DIP switch no.2 is
set to ON.

To avoid damage due to moisture in very warm or humid climatic zones resulting from
lack of air circulation in energy saving mode, the fan will not be switched off when se-
lecting the function “Temperature-independent fan control“ (with DIP switch no.1)
A changeover switch can be connected to status input D1-GND. When the switch
closes its contact (caused by an open window, for instance), the operating mode will
change from normal operation to energy saving mode (provided DIP switch no.2 is set
to ON), or from normal operation to standby (provided DIP switch no.2 is set to OFF). If
the room temperature falls below 8 °C and if DIP switch no.3 is set to OFF, frost protec-
tion mode will become active.
The operating action of the switch (N.C. or N.O.) can be selected.

Mechanical design
The unit consists of two parts:
• A plastic housing which accommodates the electronics, the operating elements and
the built-in room temperature sensor
• A mounting base
The housing engages in the mounting base and snaps on.
The base carries the screw terminals. The DIP switches are located at the rear of the
housing.

Engineering notes
In systems with automatic changeover, the temperature sensor can be replaced by an
external switch for manual changeover.
In systems with continuous heating operation, no sensor will be connected to the con-
troller’s input.
With continuous cooling operation, the controller input (B2–M) must be bridged.
Mounting location: on a wall or inside the fan coil unit. Not 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 connecting wires can be run to the
controller from a recessed conduit box.
Check the settings of the DIP switches no.1 through no.5 (with the RCC10) and of no.1
and no.2 (with the RCC10.1) and change them, if required. If setpoint limitation is re-
quired, use the minimum and maximum limitation facility (energy saver). After applying
power, the controller makes a reset during which the fan LED flashes, indicating that
the reset has been correctly made. This takes about 3 seconds. Then, the controller will
be ready to operate.
• Prior to fitting the changeover sensor, thermal conductive paste must be applied to
the location on the pipe where the sensor is placed
• The cables used must satisfy the insulation requirements with regard to mains poten-
tial
• Sensor inputs B1–M and B2–M carry mains potential. If the sensor’s cables must be
extended, the cables used must be suited for mains voltage
The controller is supplied with Mounting Instructions.
