Discharge Air Temperature
Controller
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.
Features •Two outputs for heating and cooling
•Continuous control signal
•PI control
•Electronic
•24 Vac
Application The RCM61.22 is used for controlling discharge air temperature in smaller ventilating
and air conditioning installations (by heating and cooling).
Application examples:
•Individual installations, (kitchens, cloak rooms, storage rooms, etc.)
•Zone control in larger installations
The following units can be controlled:
•Heating and cooling valve actuator
•Air damper actuator
•Step controller or current valve for electric air heater battery
•Signal converter
The temperature controlled by the RCM61.22 can be shifted:
•by the outdoor temperature to obtain summer/winter compensation.
•by a building automation system to obtain set point adjustment (fixed value shift).
Product Number RCM61.22
Ordering When ordering, specify quantity, product number and description.

Function The RCM61.22 provides PI control. The proportional band can be adjusted. The
controller compares the actual value with the set point and generates a proportional
control signal when a deviation occurs. The control signal is continuous and has a range
of 0 - 10 Vdc. When the control signal changes from 0 – 10 Vdc, the correcting variable
changes from 0 - 100%, i.e., there is a proportional relationship between the correcting
variable and the control signal. The adjusted Xp (proportional band) refers to heating
(Y1). The P band for cooling (Y2)is half as wide, making it possible to obtain the same
control quality for both heating and cooling, although the control conditions are different
(nearly the same plant gain with different correcting spans).
Each control output generates a control signal of 0 – 10 Vdc. The outputs are switched
in sequence and their mode of operation is opposed making it possible to provide
sequence control of two actuators with different modes of operation.

Compensation The reference value is fed to the controller, which shifts the set point. There are two
possibilities:
•Universal compensation over the whole setting range or over any part of the setting
range with the help of the RZF61.100 universal shift controller, or from a building
automation system.
•Set point adjustment within ± 10% of the setting range; this is generally made from
a building automation system.

Design Features The RCM61.22 is a small, electronic controller that combines electronics, setting scale
and sensing element into one unit.
The casing is plastic with a removable cover, fully active flexible sensing element, and
removable mounting flange with adjustable positions.
All setting devices and connecting terminals are contained in the housing and
accessible only when the cover is removed.

The scale and slider for setting the desired temperature can be seen through a window
in the cover. Knock-out holes (Pg11) provide entry for the cables.
After fitting the mounting flange to the duct wall, the controller can be installed in seven
different positions so that, with layers of insulation up to 2.76 inches, the controller
housing will not be insulated.
The detector can be bent and adapted to the shape of the duct. It senses the average
temperature in the duct because the measuring element (Ni wire) extends over the total
length of the flexible sensing element.
Unit Combinations The RCM61.22 can control various units with the following characteristics:
•Type of control 10 Vdc
•Operating voltage 24 Vac

Application When the unit is switched off or the power supply interrupted (Terminal G), the
regulating unit is automatically run to the closed or no-load position.
A transformer is required to generate the operating voltage of 24 Vac. When several
units are connected, the size of the transformer is determined by adding up the power
consumption of the individual units. See
Wiring Diagrams
for connecting terminal
designations.
Every output of the RCM61.22 can control up to 10 units (actuators, converters, etc.) in
parallel operation. If a compensation input is used, attention must be paid to the input
signal.
Terminal Z1: Input for universal compensation. The signal + 5V ± 10V
corresponds to ± 100% of the theoretical setting range.
Terminal Z3: Input for set point adjustment (fixed value shift). The signal + 5V ±
5V corresponds to ± 10% of the theoretical setting range.
Mounting Mounting location:
•After the supply air fan, if the latte is mounted after the last air handling unit.
•Otherwise, after the air handling unit, with a clearance of at least 1.64 feet.
The flexible sensing element should be positioned diagonally in the duct, but must not
come in contact with the duct wall.
Installation Instructions are supplied with the unit.
Commissioning The wiring must be checked when commissioning the installation. To facilitate
commissioning, the controller can be operated as a P controller by using a service plug.
The correct operation of the regulating unit can be checked by setting the slider to its
limit positions. The factory-set P band Xp normally gives good control results. If
readjustment is required, the following must be noted:
•In case of instability: Xp must be increased.
•In case of excess stability: Xp must be decreased.
If auxiliary control functions (e.g., limitation, compensation) are fed to the controller, the
controlled value must first be adjusted, with no influence from the auxiliary control
functions. To do this, the terminals for auxiliary units must be disconnected. The
auxiliary values are adjusted only after the controlled value is adjusted.
If a remote setting unit is used, the slider for setting the desired temperature must be set
to “ext”.
