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
Date __________ Signature __________________________________
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.

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

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.

In “Settings” – “Log” are entered the desired paramet-
ers, logging interval and type of log-in.
The selected parameters and logging interval affect
the total log time. With several selected parameters
and a a more frequent logging interval, the RCU 10
memory fills up more quickly and the total log time is
reduced.
The logging interval defines at which intervals the
logged values shall be saved. Selectable intervals are
every 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 and
60 minutes.
The logging type can be selected from 3 different
modes: No logging, Stop logging when the log is full or
Circular logging (the oldest measured value is erased
and replaced by new when the log is full).
The buttons at the bottom can be used to
mark/unmark all the measured values and save
selected settings.
The log settings menu has differences depending on
which product is used.
The following illustration is from the FIGHTER 1320.
Here the logged values are put on different pages,
that are selected from the scrolling list. The FIGHTER
1130/1230 also has its logged values placed on differ-
ent pages. Otherwise, the logging settings for the dif-
ferent products operate in the same way.
NOTE!
The settings must be saved for
activation to take place.
To change the language used in the RCU 10, click on
the flag for the desired language in the top menu, or
select ”Settings” – “Choose language” and then click

Here all the settings that affect the GSM modem can
be made.
SMS settings
If ”SMS Alarm” is activated, the RCU 10 will send a
text message (SMS) to all alarm recipients as soon as
an alarm is activated by the heat pump.
To enable SMS commands to be sent to the RCU 10,
“SMS Command” must be set to “On”.
If “Number check of incoming SMS” is set to “Off” the
SMS command “?STATUS” is accepted from all tele-
phone numbers (e.g. for demonstration). Note that
other SMS commands always require that the number
has been recorded on a user.
PPP server settings
A PPP server is used to permit incoming connections
to the RCU 10 via the modem. This requires that the
GSM subscription includes a service where a special
telephone number for computer communication is pro-
vided. It is this computer number that will then be used
during a called computer connection to the modem.
The subscription thus has two different telephone
numbers in this case, one for SMS and one for incom-
ing computer connections. Contact your GSM opera-
tor to see if this service will be possible.
The connection can be used to look at web sites or to
fetch a log file from the RCU 10. State the user
name/password that are to be used on logging in, and
which IP address shall be sent out to the person con-
necting. This IP number shall be in the same sub-net-
work as occupied by the RCU 10, and the IP number
must be free. If, for example, the RCU 10 has
193.12.34.21, the issued IP number must be
193.12.34.X, where X is between 1 and 254.

NOTE!
The password is case-sensitive and
only A-Z, a-z and 0-9 are permitted to
be used in the user ID and password,
which means that the symbol
characters cannot be used.
