4 Functions
4.1 Temperature control
Setting of the control parameters (P01, etc., mentioned throughout the document)
is described in section 4.12.
The thermostat acquires the room temperature via built-in sensor, external room
temperature sensor (QAA32), or external return air temperature sensor (QAH11.1),
and maintains the setpoint by delivering actuator control commands to heating
and/or cooling equipment. The following control outputs are available:
·Modulating PI/P control with DC 0…10 V control output
·Modulating PI/P control with 3-position control output
·Modulating PI/P control with PWM output
·On/Off control (2-position)
The switching differential or proportional band is 2 K (4 °F) for heating and 1 K (2
°F) for cooling (adjustable via parameters P30 and P31).
The integral action time for modulating PI control is 5 minutes (adjustable via
parameter P35).
The temperature unit selection wizard enables to select the preferable temperature
unit display on thermostats between °C and °F under the following two situations:
1. Select application via adjusting DIP switches at the rear of thermostat.
2. Power up the thermostat after successfully connecting the line power.
Follow the steps:
1. Rotate rotary knob to select the preferable temperature unit.
2. Press the button (OK) to confirm the selection, and the thermostat goes to
normal operating page.
·Pressing button (Esc) does not confirm the temperature unit selection.
·If the temperature unit is not selected, °C is used by default.
The display shows the acquired room temperature or the Comfort setpoint, selecta-
ble via parameter P06. The factory setting displays the current room temperature.
Use parameter P04 to display the room temperature or setpoint in °F rather than
°C as needed.
If the thermostat is used in a system with manual heating/cooling changeover
(P01 = 2), the heating and cooling symbols on the display show the terminal
unit’s status. Thus, the symbols are displayed even when the thermostat operates
in the neutral zone. For all other cases, the heating and cooling symbols are
displayed when the heating or cooling output is activated.
Concurrent display of the current temperature or setpoint in °C and °F (parameter
P07) is possible.

4.2 Operating modes
Select the thermostat's operating mode via the operating mode button on the unit
or operating mode input (e.g. keycard occupancy sensor, when X1, X2, or D1 is set
to 3 (P38, P40, P42). A corresponding setpoint is used to maintain the room
temperature at the desired level depending on the active operating mode. The
following operating modes are available:
In Comfort mode, the thermostat maintains the room temperature setpoint which
can be adjusted via the rotary knob. The fan can be set to automatic or manual
fan speed: Low, medium or high.
Economy mode helps save energy. Select it by pressing the operating mode button
if parameter P02 is set accordingly, or if the external operating mode switchover
contact is active (e.g. window contact).
If the external operating mode switchover contact is active, user operations are
ineffective and OFF is displayed. Control will then be according to Economy
setpoints (P11 and P12).
In Protection mode, the system is
– protected against frost (factory setting 8 °C (46 °F), can be disabled or changed
via P65)
– protected against overheating (factory setting OFF, can be enabled or changed
via P66)
The behavior of the operating mode button can be selected via parameter P02:

4.3 Room temperature Setpoints
The setpoint in Comfort mode can be adjusted via the rotary knob.
For Energy Saving purposes, the setpoint setting range can be limited to minimum
(P09) and maximum (P10).
·If the minimum limit P09 is set lower than the maximum limit P10, both heating
and cooling are adjustable between these 2 limits.
·For heating or cooling applications (e.g. single-duct; single-duct & H/C coil):
– The setting range in cooling mode is from P09…40 °C (P09…104 °F) in place
of 5…40 °C (41…104 °F)
– The setting range in heating mode is from 5…P10 °C (41…P10 °F) in place of
5…40 °C (41…104 °F)
·For cooling and heating with electric heater or radiator applications:
–P09 is the setpoint for cooling and P10 the setpoint for heating
– The setpoint can no longer be adjusted via the rotary knob
Examples Single-duct heating or cooling Single-duct cooling
with electric heater/radiator
P09 < P10
Cooling setpoint adjustable 18…25 °C (64…77 °F)
Heating setpoint adjustable 18…25 °C (64…77 °F) Cooling setpoint adjustable 18…25 °C (64…77 °F)
Heating setpoint adjustable 18…25 °C (64…77 °F)
P09 ≥P10
Cooling setpoint adjustable 25…40 °C (77…104 °F)
Heating setpoint adjustable 5…21 °C (41…70 °F)
Cooling fixed = 25 °C (77 °F) (P09)
Heating fixed = 21 °C (70 °F) (P10)
If the "Temporary setpoint function" is enabled via parameter P69, the setpoint
adjusted via the rotary knob is set back to the Comfort basic setpoint when the
operating mode changes.
The factory setting for the Comfort basic setpoint is 21 °C (70 °F) and can be
changed via parameter P08.
Use control parameters P11 and P12 to adjust the Economy mode setpoints.
The heating setpoint is factory-set to 15 °C (59 °F) and the cooling setpoint to
30 °C (86 °F) for cooling.
Use control parameters P65 and P66 to adjust the Protection mode setpoints.
The heating setpoint is factory-set to 8 °C (46 °F) (frost protection) and to OFF for
cooling.

Siemens RDG400 Basic Documentation CE1P3182en
Building Technologies 2015-05-20
If a setpoint is set to OFF (P65, P66), the thermostat does not maintain the setpoint
in the corresponding mode (heating or cooling).
This means no protective heating or cooling function and thus risk of frost in the
heating mode or risk of overtemperature in cooling mode!
4.4 Setpoints and sequences
On single-duct changeover applications, the Comfort setpoints for heating and
cooling sequence are the same (w).
On applications with electric heater, radiator or heating/cooling coil, the Comfort
setpoint is at the heating sequence.
The start of the cooling sequence is linked to "Dead zone" above the Comfort
setpoint. The dead zone can be set via parameter P33.
The setpoints for Economy and Protection mode are below the Comfort setpoints
(heating) and above the Comfort setpoints (cooling).
They can be set via parameters P11, P12 (Economy mode) and P65, P66
(Protection mode).
The control signal for air flow can be limited via parameters P63 and P64.
See section 4.8.1.
To simplify the diagram below, only minimum limitation is shown.

4.6 Additional features
The output signal DC 0…10 V (Y10) can be inverted by means of DIP switch 4
(see section 4.7.3).
To ensure a minimum or maximum supply air volume, the output signal for the air
flow (DC 0...10 V or 3-position) can be limited to a minimum value via parameter
P63 and to a maximum value via parameter P64.
Both values can be set between 0% and 100%.
TRoom temperature
Y10 Control output
wRoom temperature setpoint
XpH Proportional band "Heating"
XpC Proportional band "Cooling"
Vmin Minimum limitation air flow
Vmax Maximum limitation air flow
If Vmin (P63) is set to >0, then a minimum air flow of Vmin is assured in Comfort
and Economy modes.
In Protection mode, the air flow in dead zone is 0.
Example: air flow rate signal in single duct application with electric heater:
Comfort or Economy mode with
Vmin >0 (P63) Protection mode with Vmin >0 (P63) Protection mode (Vmin = 0) Caution! No air flow when electric
heater is active
The water temperature acquired by the changeover sensor (QAH11.1 + ARG86.3)
is used to change over from heating to cooling mode, or vice versa. When the
water temperature is above 28 °C (82 °F) (P37), the thermostat changes over to
heating mode, and to cooling mode when below 16 °C (61 °F) (P36).
If the water temperature is between the 2 changeover points immediately after
power-up, the thermostat starts in heating mode.
The water temperature is acquired at 30-second intervals and the operating state is
updated accordingly.

The sensor or switch can be connected to input terminal X2 (factory setting) or X1
or D1 (switch only), depending on the commissioning of the inputs (P38, P40,
P42).
See also section 4.9.
The thermostat acquires the room temperature via built-in sensor, external room
temperature sensor (QAA32), or external return air temperature sensor (QAH11.1)
connected to multifunctional input X1 or X2.
Inputs X1 or X2 must be commissioned accordingly. See section 4.9.
Application "Single-duct and radiator" can also be used for floor heating.
The temperature should be limited for 2 reasons: comfort and protection of the
floor. It is only available with application "Single-duct and radiator".
The floor temperature sensor, connected to multifunctional input X1 or X2, acquires
the floor temperature. If the temperature exceeds the parameterized limit
(parameter P51), the heating valve is fully closed until the floor temperature drops
to a level 2 K (4 °F) below the parameterized limit. This function is factory-set to
OFF (disabled).
Input X1 or X2 must be commissioned accordingly (P38 or P40 = 1).
See section 4.9.
Living rooms:
Up to 26 °C (79 °F) for long-term presence, up to 28 °C (82 °F) for short-time
presence
Bath rooms:
Up to 28 °C (82 °F) for long-term presence, up to 30 °C (86 °F) for short-time

If the thermostat is used for chilled ceiling, dewpoint monitoring is essential to
prevent condensation. It helps avoid associated damage to the building.
A dewpoint sensor with a potential-free contact is connected to multifunctional input
X1, X2 or D1. If there is condensation, the cooling valve is fully closed until no
more condensation is detected, and the cooling output is disabled temporarily.
The condensation symbol is displayed during temporary override.

The input must be commissioned accordingly (P38, P40, P42).
See section 4.9.
If the button lock function is enabled by parameter P14, the buttons will be locked
or unlocked by pressing the right button for 3 seconds.
If “Auto lock” is configured, the thermostat will automatically lock the buttons 10
seconds after the last adjustment.
The thermostat can be forced into Economy mode (e.g. when a window is opened).
The window contact can be connected to digital input D1 (or multifunctional input
X1, X2). Set parameter P42 (P38, P40) to 3.
The left button switches the operating mode from Economy to Comfort for the
period preset in P68, if the following conditions are fulfilled:
·The operating mode switchover contact is closed (connected to input X1, X2,
D1; parameter P38, P40, P42 set to 3)
·Parameter P68 (extend Comfort period) is greater than 0
During the temporary Comfort mode extension, sandglass symbol appears.
If parameter P68 (extend Comfort period) = 0, extended Comfort cannot be
activated; pressing the left button will show "OFF" (blinking 3 times).
The current operating mode can be forced temporarily into Comfort or
Economy/Protection mode. The time period is adjusted via the rotary knob:
·Extend presence: Set the device to Comfort mode for the selected time period
·Extend absence: Set the device to Economy/Protection mode for the selected
time period
To activate the function, keep the left button pressed and, within 3 seconds, turn
the rotary knob…
·clockwise for extended presence
·counterclockwise for extended absence
The rotary knob adjusts the time period:
·Extend presence: 0.00…+9:30 in steps of 30 minutes; symbol appears
·Extend absence: 0.00…–9:30 in steps of 30 minutes; symbol appears
During the extended presence/absence period, sandglass symbol appears.

4.7.2 Sequences overview (setting via parameter P01)
The sequence can be set via parameter P01, if available.
The thermostats can be used in systems featuring:
·Heating only (P01 = 0)
·Cooling only (P01 = 1)
·Manual heating/cooling changeover (P01 = 2)
·Automatic heating/cooling changeover (P01 = 3)
·Heating and cooling mode (e.g. 4-pipe system) (P01 = 4)
The available modes depend on the application
(selected via DIP switches, see section 4.5).

4.7.4 Single-duct
On single-duct applications, the thermostat controls an actuator (air damper, VAV
system, valve etc.)…
– in heating/cooling mode with changeover (automatic or manual),
– heating only mode,
– or cooling only mode.
Cooling only is factory-set (P01=1).
The output signal for the air flow can be limited to a minimum and maximum value
if required (see section 4.6).
Modulating control: 3-position or DC 0…10 V
The diagrams below show the control sequence for modulating PI control.
