In order to get the ultimate benefit from your RCU 10 communications unit you should read
through these Installation and Maintenance Instructions.
Installation date
Installation engineers
MAC ID

To be completed when the communications unit has been installed

The RCU 10 consists of a communications module, a
GSM modem with an antenna and a separate power
supply unit with jack for plugging into a wall socket.
The antenna can be placed outside the enclosure.
The RCU 10 enables operations to be controlled and
monitored using a computer connected to a local net-
work or via the Internet. The integrated GSM module
also enables control and monitoring by sending text
messages from a mobile phone. For the GSM function
to work, the communications module must be
equipped with a valid GSM subscription. This may for
example be a cash card or a special telematics sub-
scription.
It is possible to connect to the RCU 10 two indepen-
dent switch functions to detect external events such as
a movement alarm or freezing protection.
Note that all configuration of the unit requires that a
computer is connected, even if only text messaging is
going to be used.

Product description
NOTE!
If a SIM card is used, it must be
configured so that a PIN code is not
used to obtain connection. This can be
done in a mobile telephone or by the
service provider.

Installation
RCU 10

Stick the product label securely to the cover. The label
can be placed in any orientation, depending on the
location of the unit.
Open the plastic cover by separating its two halves.
The RCU 10 is placed outside the heat pump and its
best location is mounted on a wall.
Connect the communication cable in accordance with
the appropriate product description. Then continue with
the instructions under the heading “Final installation”.
FIGHTER 360P
Connect the black communication cable (105) from
the heat pump to the RCU 10, position (4).
Earlier versions of the FIGHTER 360P do not have the
cable (105). Then connect the accompanying black
communication cable between the RCU 10 position
(4) and the heat pump modular connector that is on
the CPU card (34). For communication to work, the
CPU card in the FIGHTER 360P must have version
number 2.00 or higher.
FIGHTER 1230
Connect the accompanying black communication
cable between the RCU 10 position (4) and the heat
pump modular connector that is on the CPU card (34).
For communication to work, the CPU card in the
FIGHTER 1230 must have version number 1.03 or
higher.

Final installation
Connect the 4-pole modular cable to the network
adapter output. Plug the network adapter into a near-
by wall socket. Refit the plastic cover to the RCU 10.
The heat pump must be configured, to permit commu-
nication with the RCU 10. This is done via the service
menus. Refer to the “Installation and Maintenance
Instructions” for the respective products.
Tip: Try to find a wall socket for the network adapter
that is fed from a different fuse than the fuse for the
heat pump supply. The RCU 10 will then be able to
detect if the heat pump shuts down.

FIGHTER 1320
Connect the accompanying black communication
cable between the RCU 10 position (4) and the heat
pump modular connector that is on the CPU card (34).
For communication to work, the CPU card in the
FIGHTER 1320 must have version number 1.10 or
higher.

The RCU 10 has a connection (5) for 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet.
Connect the unit to a network, or alternatively direct to
a computer with the Ethernet cabling. For connection
to a router or a hub/switch a straight-through cable
must be used, and for direct connection to a computer
a crossover cable must be used.
A network with the RCU 10 connected to a router or
hub/switch is recommended. For connection direct to
a computer with Internet connection, two network
cards are required in the computer, and it must run
continuously in order to provide the RCU 10 access to
the Internet.
Internet connection is not necessary to be able to
install and configure the unit, but is required for
access to the unit via the Internet.

The RCU 10 contains a GSM modem, that can be
used for sending and receiving text messages, and for
reading log files generated by the product.
Antenna
The RCU 10 is delivered with an antenna, that is ini-
tially kept rolled up inside the outer casing. If reception
at the installation site is poor, try moving the antenna
outside the box. The antenna section has a piece of
self-adhesive tape that can be used to secure the
antenna, for example to a window.

The RCU 10 has two digital inputs (7) (optically isolat-
ed) for connection of an external signal. The inputs
shall be 10 – 24 VDC for an active high signal and 0 –

SIM card
The modem requires a 3.3 V SIM card. See the illus-
tration below for installation instructions. The SIM card
must be configured so that a PIN code is not used to
obtain connection. This can be done in a mobile tele-
phone or by the service provider. For a telephonic
data connection to the RCU, the SIM card needs to
have a special telephone number for computer com-
munication. Refer to the section “Web interface – Set-
tings” > “Modem” for further information.
If a cash card is used, remember to refill it at regular
intervals so that communication is not cut off by the
operator.

The RCU configuration software is a PC-based pro-
gram that can be used to prepare different network-
parameters in the RCU 10. The program can search
for RCU 10 units on an Ethernet network, after which
the IP address, network mask, gateway, DNS, etc.
can be set. DHCP can also be activated in the unit.
Install by running the installation program Setup-Net-
BiterConfig.exe that is on the supplied CD.
