Building Technologies System overview 23.08.2008
System overview
System functions
The Synco™ living system offers you a host of choices. In addition to room
climate and DHW heating control, the system enables you to control a ventila-
tion system, lighting and blinds, to monitor smoke detectors and door / window
contacts as well as to release air conditioners.
Central unit
Central apartment unit QAX910
The heart of the system is the QAX910 central
apartment unit. It facilitates operation of the entire
system and ensures communication between the
different devices.
Heating / cooling
Models / Combinations
Heating and / or cooling can be performed in different models and combina-
tions:
Heating
•Radiator heating (per room)
•Floor heating (per room)
•Air conditioner (per room)
Cooling
•Central (entire apartment) via common 2-pipe heating/cooling system
•Cooling release output for external component (per room)
•Air conditioner (per room)
Heating / cooling mode
The individual rooms can be configured for pure heating or cooling mode or
for automatic changeover between the two operating modes.
The central apartment unit switches the apartment or individual rooms to
cooling or heating mode as per the settings.
Plants with rooms comprising controllable air conditioners (e.g. air con-
ditioner via Zennio module) can heat or cool rooms independent of
each other.
The rooms are grouped into one apartment. The operating modes and a
holiday/special day program can be set for the apartment. The apartment
operating mode allows for overriding the individual room operating modes.
