Approbations
All de ices of the FC 200 series are manufactured according
D RECT VE 2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment
under consideration of the following harmonized standard:
EN 50581:2012.

2 Overview
All de ices of brand FC 200 (ECE 03-0200-5E-MG) are a stand-alone monitoring and
control unit for up to 200 fans with RS485-based interface of different brands.
A clear and simple menu guide has been realised bilingual (English/German) and offers a
ery easy access to 2 separate, free configurable and indi idual operating closed loop
cycles (Volume, Pressure, Temperature …).
The de ices are chose able as IP65-wallmounted solution or IP20-counter sunk design
a ailable with identic functions as well as customized OEM-solution in front design and
software.
