Use
For control of the room temperature in individual rooms or zones that are heated or
cooled by a heat pump or via actuating devices.
The room temperature controller…
•controls release of the heat pump’s compressor or actuating devices
•switches an auxiliary electric heater
Suited for systems with manual H/C changeover.
Functions
•Manual H/C changeover by pressing the respective button
•Room temperature control with built-in sensor
•
Selection of operating mode via button
•Auto Timer mode with 8 programmable time switches for changeover between Com-
fort mode and Energy Saving mode
•Outputs for release of heat pump and for control of actuating devices in heating or
cooling mode (ON / OFF). Output for auxiliary electric heater
Controller
The controller acquires the room temperature via its built-in sensor and maintains it at
the adjusted setpoint.
The switching differential is 2 K in heating mode and 1 K in cooling mode (adjustable
via parameters P08 and P09).
The display shows the acquired room temperature or the setpoint of the current operat-
ing mode. This can be selected via parameter P15. Factory setting is display of the
current room temperature.
The heating and cooling symbols on the display show the system’s operating
state. Symbol shows when the auxiliary electric heater is in operation.
Symbol cindicates when the heat pump’s compressor is on.
If required, room temperature and setpoint can also be displayed in °F in place of °C.
This is made by changing parameter P14.
Operating modes
The following operating modes are available by pressing the respective button:
In Auto Timer mode AUTO, the controller switches automatically between Comfort mode
and Energy Saving mode according to the 8 programmed time switches. The controller
displays the symbol of Auto Timer mode AUTO and that of the current operating mode,
either Comfort mode or Energy Saving mode .
In Comfort mode , the controller maintains the setpoint, which can be adjusted via the
buttons.
For energy saving purposes, the setpoint setting range can be limited to a minimum
(parameter P05) and a maximum (parameter P06).

•If the minimum limit P05 is set lower than the maximum limit P06, both heating and
cooling are adjustable between these 2 limits.
•For heating or cooling applications:
– The setting range in cooling mode is from P05…40 °C instead of 5…40 °C
– The setting range in heating mode is from 5…P06 °C instead of 5…40 °C

Heating setpoint adjustable 5…21 °C
The setpoints for Energy Saving mode can be adjusted via control parameters P01
and P02.
In Protection mode , the controller monitors the setpoints adjusted for heating and
cooling. If the room temperature exceeds or falls below the setpoint, the setpoint for
Protection is maintained (this independent of the manual H/C changeover status).
These setpoints can be adjusted via control parameters P03 and P04. The factory set-
ting for heating in Protection mode is 8 °C.

When used in connection with a heat pump, output Q13-Q14 (NO contact) must be
connected to the compressor’s control input.
Output Q21-Q22-Q24 must be connected to the compressor’s H/C control input.
Output Q33-Q34 (NO contact) is for connection to an auxiliary electric heater
(RDX43.2).
Button is used for manual changeover from heating to cooling, or vice versa. The
factory setting of the changeover contact is “Open“ for heating and can be changed to
”Closed” for heating using parameter P18.
To avoid damage to the compressor during H/C changeover, a minimum compressor
on / off time can be adjusted via parameters P11 and P12. The factory setting for the
minimum on time is 1 minute and for the minimum off time 3 minutes.

Output Q33-Q34 is for connection to the auxiliary electric heater which is only available
in heating mode, provided parameter P16 is set to 1 (enable). The minimum on time
can be changed via parameter P13 (factory setting is 1 minute).
Auto Timer mode
The controller provides an Auto Timer mode with 8 programmable time switches. Each
time switch can be assigned one or several days. In this mode, the controller switches
automatically between Comfort mode and Energy Saving mode according to the pro-
grammed time switches.
Auto timer in Comfort mode Auto timer in Energy Saving mode
Each time switch has a start time and end time for Comfort mode which can be applied
to several weekdays.
To set the time schedule, keep button depressed for 3 seconds to go to the pro-
grammable timer setting mode. This mode is indicated by displaying Ax (x = auto timer
1...8) and the time of day --:-- blinking.
For each time switch, proceed as follows:
1. Symbols and are displayed. Press or to set the Comfort mode start time
and confirm by pressing .
2. Symbols and are displayed. Press or to set the start time for Comfort
mode or Energy Saving mode and confirm by pressing .
3. Symbol

pressed within 20 seconds. All changes made after the last press of will not be
saved.

2. Press and simultaneously for 3 seconds. Release the buttons and, within 2
seconds, press 2 times.
The display shows “8888“ during this process.
In the second case, or when several time switch sequences overlap, the resulting out-
put is the OR combination of the Comfort mode time of all time switches.

Press or to set the time of day.
2. Confirm the time of day by pressing and the weekday indicator starts blinking.
3. Press or to set the current weekday.
4. Confirm by pressing .
In the event of a power failure, the time, date, last operating mode, last heating/cooling
changeover status, setpoint and auto timer program will be stored. When power re-
turns, this time reappears and starts running again. The time display blinks to indicate
that there was a power failure. Blinking stops when the time and the day are confirmed
by pressing , or when the time is readjusted by following the above procedure.
Replace / remove battery when the “low battery” symbol is activated. The time, date,
last operating mode, last heating/cooling changeover status, setpoint and auto timer
program will be stored.
Error handling
If the room temperature is out of the measuring range (above 50 °C or below 0°C), the
display shows the limiting temperature in blinking figures (e.g. 50 °C or 0 °C).
Should the built-in sensor become defective, the display will show “Err” blinking to draw
the user‘s attention.

Mounting and installation
The room temperature controller is to be mounted on a wall, not in niches or book-
shelves and not behind curtains. Temperature acquisition must not be adversely af-
fected by heat or cooling sources or direct solar radiation. Mounting height is about 1.5
m above the floor.
The controller can be fitted on a recessed conduit box.
Also refer to Mounting Instructions M3075 enclosed with the controller.
•Wiring, fuse and earthing must be installed in compliance with local regulations. It
must be made certain that safety extra low-voltage lines (SELV circuit) are clearly
separated from AC 230 V mains voltage cable
•The cables to the controller carry AC 230 V mains voltage and must be appropriate
sized
•The AC 230 V mains supply line must have an external fuse or circuit breaker with a
rated current of no more than 10 A
After wiring the base and attaching the controller to the base (see Mounting instruc-
tions), remove the battery compartment from the controller until the display is blank.
The controller synchronizes its outputs as soon as the battery compartment is rein-
serted. Then, the controller is ready to be commissioned by qualified staff. The control
parameters of the controller can be set to ensure optimum performance of the whole
system (also refer to “Parameter settings”).
After applying power, the controller makes a reset during which all LCD segments blink,
indicating that the reset has been correctly made. This takes about 3 seconds. Then,
the controller is ready to be commissioned by qualified staff. The control parameters of
the controller can be set to ensure optimum performance of the whole system (also
refer to “Parameter settings”).
•If the controller is used in conjunction with a compressor, the minimum on time (pa-
rameter P11) and off time (parameter P12) must be correctly adjusted in order not
to adversely affect the compressor’s service life
•If the room temperature displayed by the controller does not accord with the room
temperature effectively measured, the temperature sensor can be recalibrated. In
that case, parameter P07 must be changed
•For comfort and energy saving reasons, it is recommended to check the setpoints
and setpoint setting ranges (parameters P01…P06) and, if necessary, to change
them accordingly
