Introduction
UltraLink FTCU is a highly accurate airflow controller. It measures the airflow with ultra sound and can be calculated and
compensated to a very high accuracy within the whole airflow range. The method is very stable over time due to its design,
which minimizes the contamination of the airflow sensors.
UltraLink FTCU has the possibillity to give you the benefits of a modern demand controlled ventilation system with only a
couple of UltraLinks together with bluetooth sensors installed in your existing ventilation system. It offers great advantages in
terms of comfort and savings in energy consumption.

UltraLink®Controller FTCU
lindab | technical information
Overview
Application
The FTCU is suitable for measuring and controlling air flow
and measuring temperature. Communication is established
with analog and/or digital signals using Modbus.
Design
The FTCU consists of a sensor body attached to a damper
body with Lindab Safe gaskets.
The display unit and actuator are mounted on a cup to
enable the FTCU to be insulated up to 50 mm.
Two flow sensors are mounted on the sensor body and
connected to a display unit. The display unit is mounted on
top of a shelf on the damper body. The sensor and damper
bodies can rotate relative to each other. This means that the
sensors can be optimally positioned independently of the
desired position of the display and damper body. Position-
ing the sensor body correctly after a disturbance is crucial
for the measurement accuracy, see page 6-7 for directions
on how to mount the FTCU for optimal performance.
For FTCU in dimensions 400 — 630, a flange holds the
damper and sensor bodies together, the flange must be
loosened by unscrewing a nut in order to rotate them. The
nut of the flange on the FTCU dimension 400 is 10 mm and
the nut on the FTCU dimension 500 — 630 is 13 mm.

Planning
The accuarcy of the measurement is dependent upon mainly two things;
• distance to disturbance (the longer distance to disturbance, the higher the measurement accuracy will be)
• and the positioning of the transducers (FTCU is to be mounted with the first transducer (*) placed at the inner radius of a
fitting)
Below you can see the impact of various disturbances and placements of the transducers.
The FTCU can be placed at the distance of two duct diameter (Ød) from the disturbance to achieve
the specified uncertainty in the table below. In some cases you can mount the FTCU directly onto a
fitting and still have the same measurement accuracy. In those cases you need to make corrections
inside OneLink app. In the table below you can see what scenarios are applicaple.
Other obstructions such as axial fans, silencer baffels or cleaning hatches etc. are not allowed
before the UltraLink (in the direction of the airflow). If a cleaning hatch is required, it must be placed
after the UltraLink (in the direction of the airflow). All these cause turbulences, which will result in
airflow measurement errors.
Please note
• Note the ID-number of the FTCU. The ID is the three last numbers of the
serial number and can be found:
- on the label of the box it was delivered in
- on the label on the FTCU itself
- in the display after pressing the “MODE” button
- in the App when the product is on

• To avoid issues with measurement accuracy due to air turbulence:
Make sure you never install a measurement unit after (in airflow direction)
two disturbance fittings (refering to number 1 and 2) where those two fit-
tings are installed in two different levels and the airflow also turnes in cross
direction. (Refering to number 3)
Not following these rules the measurement might not be accurate due to air
turbulance.
Where non-optimal installation situations appear, or several successive
disturbance faults may exist, please contact Lindab sales for consulting.

Electrical installation
Before starting
• You must under no circumstances make any holes or connect anything with screws to the
body of the FTCU.
• The shelf, FTES, can be used for mounting equipment such as an electrical junction box or
a Regula Combi.
• Never remove the blue electronics box.
• Never remove the transducers.
Use the premounted cable >>
• Connect power and communication cables to the
premounted cable.
• Check the label on cable for reference to cable
colours.
• It is important that the cable is as short as possible
for optimal Modbus communication.
For cable connections there is two options, use the
premounted cable or connect directly in the PCB
(option A and B):
Connect directly on PCB >>
• To access the terminals on the circuit board, remove
the lid by pushing the two heels on the side of the
blue box.
• To be able to connect cords to the terminal board
the rubber cable grommet on the backside of the
display unit must be punctured, preferably using an
awl or something pointy to ensure tightness to the
environment. Do not remove the blue box to do this!
• When the cables have been connected they must
be strain relieved. The cables can be attached to the
shelf by using cable ties that are attached around cut
outs in the shelf.

Function Cable type
24 V Supply 2-wire, thickness depending on length and load, max. 1,5 mm²
RS485 Modbus communication 2-wire shielded twisted pair, min. 0,1 mm² (LIYCY cable)
Using other cables for Modbus signals may result in communication problems.
Analog connection
When connecting the FTCU using analog
signals, it is important to connect the
analog out signals on the FTCU (AO1,
AO2) to the analog in terminals on the
RTU and the analog in signal (AIN) is
connected to the analog out terminal on
the RTU. Also make sure to connect the
cables to the same analog ground.
Option A: Connect to premounted cable
Connect the premounted cable in a junction box near the FTCU. Connect
power and signal cables in the junction box according to the color scheme
on the label on the premounted cable, see picture to the right.
When connecting Modbus signal wires, the length of the premounted
cable needs to be as short as possible, since these have a negative effect
on signal quality.
In this case, place junction box as close to the FTCU as possible, then cut
the premounted cable where it is as short as possible for installation.

Digital connection (Modbus)
Connect A on the RTU to -A on the display unit and B to +B. When connecting more than one FTCU in series it is
important to keep connecting -A to -A and +B to +B since crossing them will stop Modbus from working. It is recom-
mended to use RS485 cables with twisted pairs and shield, do not supply power in the same cable unless the cable
is produced for that purpose. When connecting signal ground, attach it to “GND” on the terminal to the right of the
terminal for shield (SH) on the PCB. Then attach it to the corresponding terminal in the RTU.
Connecting shield
The shield in the RS485 cable should be connected to ground at the transformer and then continuously connect to
”SH” on all the UltraLinks that are powered from that transformer. If more than one transformer is used on the bus, the
shield is broken at each transformer so ”SH” on every product only has connection to ground at the transformer from
which its power is supplied.
Biasing
The master on the bus must have biasing on
-A and +B. This is more or less standard on
BMS-controllers, but if communication should
be established with a conventional computer
using a RS485-USB converter, then it is
important to make sure that the converter has
a bias circuit. If communication fails and you
are uncertain about existence of biasing,
you can add biasing resistors in the screw terminal on one of the UltraLinks to see if this is the cause of the communi-
cation failure. Use 500 - 1000 Ω resistors and connect one resistor from -A to GND and one from +B to the 3V3 termi-
nal. It is also recommendedto add a 120 Ω termination resistor between -A and +B on the last UltraLink on the bus to
avoid signal reflections.
Repeater
If the bus is longer than 300 meters or if there
are more than 30 devices, the system might
need an RS485 repeater (FDS-R, see picture
to the right) to be able to communicate in an
efficient way.

Power supply
Transformer sizing
The needed size of 24 V AC transformer(s) can be defined by adding up the dimensioning power consumption [VA] of all
the components. The transformer power must exceed this. Use only safety isolating transformers. Calculation of the cur-
rent demand I:
I = (P1+P2+…+Pn) / U [A] where: Pnis the dimensioned power consumption for each component [VA] U is the voltage
(24) [V].
If the current demand I exceeds 6 A ( which corresponds to approximately 150 VA for a 24 V AC transformer), it is neces-
sary to use more transformers to prevent overheating.
Supply cable sizing
The wire size of the supply cable can be determined by calculating the resistance per meter R. The calculation presup-
poses that a voltage drop of e.g. 2 V is accepted in the supply cable:
R(per m) = Udrop / (I * L) [Ω/m] where: Udrop is the accepted voltage drop (2 V) in the cable [V] I is the current [A]
L is the longest distance of supply cables from transformer to a component [m]
Wire cross section area as a function of resistance per m for copper wire
Example:
Udrop = 2 V, I = 4 A, L = 20 m
R (per m) = 2V / (4A × 20 m) = 0,025 Ω/m
In the diagram a Wire cross section Area of 0,7 mm² can be read.
Power consumption
The power consumption for dimensioning supply cables for an UltraLink®FTCU is 0,5 VA.
It is not recommended to use a transformer with a higher capacity than 150 VA.

Correcting flow measurement for
installation close to disturbance
If it is required to install an UltraLink close to a disturbance,
the correction is done in OneLink app.
1. Go to OneLink and connect to the UltraLink you wish to
add corrections to.
2. Go to “Configuration” > “Device settings”
3. Click on “Disturbance settings”
4. Fill in what type of disturbance is installed before the
UltraLink (airflow direction) and the distance between the
UltraLink and the disturbance reffering to.
The function is now activated and the app corrects the
flow according to the inputs made.
ID-numbers
The FTCU is given an
ID-number between 1 to
239 during production.
The given ID-number can
be seen on the label on
the outside of the box the
FTCU is delivered in, the ID-number is the same as the
three last digits in the serial number.
If two or more Modbus devices have the same ID-number
it is necessary to apply changes so that each of them get
an unique ID-number to allow communication.
To change the Modbus ID register of an UltraLink all other
devices with the same ID must be disconnected. It is
more efficient to change the ID in the display under “Con.
Set” (See page 15 for more info) or with the OneLink
app. The register for Modbus ID is a holding register with
address 4x001.
PIN code
UltraLink with Bluetooth must be protected againt unau-
thorized access by PIN-code, which has to be stated
before changes to the settings can be made. It is important
to choose and change the code that the product is deliv-
ered with (1111) to prevent that no unauthorized changes
are made. The Bluetooth radio can be disabled by setting
register 4×007 to 0.
The code can be changed via:
• “OneLink” application
• using the configuration menu in the display, see page 15
for instructions.
Firmware update
By regularly searching for and carrying out firmware
upgrades, you ensure optimal performance and the latest
functionality of your UltraLink.
How to upgrade your rmware
1. Open OneLink app and log in to UltraLink
2. Go to “Configuration” > “Device info”
3. Click on “Firmware update”
Maintenance
The FTCU does not normally require any maintenance. The
visible parts of the device can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Controller FTCU Ø125
Serial no. 132600052
UltraLink

Settings for override
The FTCU has two different override functions that can
be initiated either over the bus or with analog input (only
in case of input voltage range of 2-10 V or 10-2 V). If
controlled via bus (register 4x071 = 0), then the damper
can be forced (register 4x151) to fully open or fully closed
position, or the flow rate setpoint can be set to minimum
or maximum flow rate setpoint (according to registers
4x315 and 4x316, respectively). If the unit is controlled with
analog input (4x071 = 1), then the damper can be forced
to fully closed position (regardless the settings in register
4x501, which represents the minimum angle (fully closed)
of the damper in normal mode).
Override function by bus
1. Normal mode, no override (register 4x151 = 0).
2. Go to maximum flow rate setpoint (register 4x151 = 1).
3. Go to minimum flow rate setpoint (register 4x151 = 2).
4. Go to fully open damper position (register 4x151 = 3).
5. Go to fully closed damper position (register 4x151 = 4).
If an override is initiated, it can be restored either manually
by setting register 4x151 to 0, or automatically after the
predefined override timeout in register 4x150.
Analog override function
In analog mode (4x071 = 1), the override function can only
be called if input voltage range is set to 2-10 V or 10-2 V
(4x500 = 2 or 3, respectively) and the controlled variable is
flow rate (4x070 = 2). If these settings are active, the over-
ride function is set as follows:
1. Normal mode, no override (input voltage ≥ 2 V).
2. Go to fully closed damper position (if input voltage is
lower than the value defined in register 4x511).

PLEASE LOOK IN THE APPENDED MODBUS REGISTER FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CHANGE REGISTER
VALUES. SOME VALUES HAS SCALE FACTORS AND SOME VALUES OCCUPY TWO REGISTERS!
All available settings are presented in the appendix. The settings can be changed via the RS485 bus and can be
done from any device and configuration that can communicate using Modbus, but it can also be done via the One-
Link app. For more register details see appendix.
Digital communication settings
Registers 4x001-4x009 are used to configure communica-
tion settings. When initializing contact for the first time the
default settings will be active;
Modbus id: Last three digits in the serial number
(also visible in the display if the product
has power)
Baud rate: 19200
Parity: Odd
Stop bits: 1
After updating any of the communication parameters the
product needs to be power cycled for the changes to take
effect.
Control settings
The FTCU can be read and controlled in several different
ways. Primarily you need to set the following registers to
determine what variable you will use to control the device
and if the control signal is analog or digital;
1. Configure register 4×070 for what kind of set point you
will control the device with (0 = no control, 1 = damper
position, 2 = flow rate).
2. Configure register 4×071 for Modbus control of set
points with “0” (0 = bus, 1 = analog).
3. During operation set points can be applied using regi-
sters 4x302 (damper position) and 4 × 314 (flow) depen-
ding on the setting from point 1 above. The set point for
damper position has predefined limits 0–100%, where
0% means fully closed and 100% means fully open. The
limits for flow has default values according to the table
below but can be modified using registers 4 × 315 and
4 × 316. The default maximum values corresponds to the
upper limit where accuracy is guaranteed. The value can
be set higher, but this may cause worse accuracy of the
readings.
Default values for the relevant registers are according to the
table below. (Default values for flow max corresponds to 15
m/s).

Analog communication settings
Analog in settings via modbus
If using analog communication (4×071=1) you need to specify the operational voltage
range and also corresponding max and min values;
1. Configure register 4×500 for analog in level configuration ( (0) 0-10V, (1) 10-0V, (2)
2-10V, (3) 10-2V) if you are using analog control of the set points. (If set points are
controlled via bus this point can be ignored)
2. Configure registers 4×501–504 with relevant data for max and min levels for the
voltage range selected in previous step. Register 4×501–502 are used if the device
is controlled with angle (4×070=1) and registers 4×503–504 are used if the device is
controlled using flow (4×070=2). If set points are controlled via bus this point can be
ignored.

Analog out settings via modbus
Analog out is always active but you need to specify what kind of data you want to read on the
two ports;
1. Configure registers 4 × 401 and 4 × 431 for the variables you want to read on the analog out
terminals (0 = Flow, 1 = Temperature, 2 = Damper position, 3 = Cooling, 4 = Heating).
2. Configure registers 4 × 400 and 4 × 430 for analog out level configuration ( (0) 0-10V, (1) 10-0V,
(2) 2-10V, (3) 10-2V)
3. Configure registers 4 × 401–409 and 4 × 431–439 with relevant data for max and min levels
for the voltage range selected in step 2. You only need to configure the max and min values
corresponding to the variable selected in step 1.
Default values for the relevant registers related to “Analog Out 1” are according to the table
below (Default values for flow max corresponds to 7 m/s).

Error codes
If a problem occurs the status light will start to flash and an
error code will be displayed. Listed in the table below are
their problem and possible solution.
I cannot nd the sensor model I’m trying to pair
Check that you have the latest firmware installed in your
UltraLink. See “Firmware update” on page 14.
Error code Problem Comment
Err001 Motor not working correctly Check motor cables and connections
Err002 Angle sensor not working correctly Try to recalibrate using OneLink app
Err003 Flow set point not reached Check if the AHU supplying enough air
Err004 Problems with flow measurement Might be caused by:
• something blocking the flow sensors
• an electronic fault
• the flow sensors are not connected properly into the display unit
• the sensor body is flawed
• design of duct system is causing severe turbulence/disturbance
Err05 External sensor low battery
Err06 External sensor not reporting
If digital communication fails, please verify the follow-
ing before contacting support
• Check settings for Baud rate, parity and stop bit and
make sure the master uses the same settings as the
UltraLinks. This can be done with a mobile phone and
the OneLink app.
• -A and +B are continuously connected between all the
products without any mixups of -A and +B.
• Bus layout is not allowed to be “star connection”.
• The cables for power supply are connected identical
on all products and transformers connecting G to G
(24V) and G0 to G0 (GND).
• The shield is continuous along the bus and grounded
only at the transformer and the last UltraLink on the
bus.
• There are not more than 30 devices on the bus. (Install
a repeater if you have more than 30 devices.)
• The total length of the bus is maximum 300 m. (Install
with a repeater if you have more than 300 m bus cable.)
• Try to establish communication with a PC using Con-
figuration Tool and a biased RS485-USB converter.
• Keep the total length of stubbs (such as the pre-
mounted cable) of a buss with 30 devices, no more
than 20 meters.
If analog signals fails, make sure to doublecheck the
following
• Measure voltage on the screw terminal, the voltage
should be the same as that on the BMS controller.
• If the voltage is not correct, check that the wire is firmly
attach to the terminal of the UltraLink. If it is not, then
the UltraLink might not be able to pick up the signal.
Problems accessing UltraLink via Bluetooth
• The UltraLink must have the Bluetooth logotype on
the lid of the display unit in order to have a Bluetooth
function.
• To access the UltraLink via Bluetooth, the correct PIN
code must be input before being able to connect.
Verify with administrator that the PIN code is correct if
you cannot connect.
