RC21 Remote adjuster with thermostat
The RC21 is an optional accessory and is normally not included in the scope of supply.
The remote adjuster with integrated thermostat RC21 provides you with easy to use temperature controlled adjustment of
heating from within your living space.
Settings
The dial is used to parallel translate the heating curve. The flow temperature (still regarding the outdoor temperature) is raised or
lowered respectively by your adjustment. When the dial is turned all the way down, the heat circuit is switched off. Frost protection
stays active to prevent damage.
Temperature Sensors
The RC21 contains a temperature sensor which is used by the controller. If the settings in the controller allow it, the sensor is
used to alter the flow temperature. The switch changes the operation mode of the controller.
In Timer mode the temperature is controlled according to the set thermostat periods.
In Timer mode the temperature is controlled according to the set thermostat periods.
In Continous day mode the set periods are ignored and the temperature is controlled according to the Day time settings. In
Continous night mode the temperature is usually set to lowest. This setting is best suited for periods of long absence like
e.g. holidays.
Installation
Carefully remove the dial from the casing with a screwdriver. Loosen the screw beneath. Remove the bright part of the casing
from the black socket.
The RC21 is connected via terminal block to the controller.
The RC21 is suited for low voltage only!

Installing the Temperature Sensors
The controller operates with Pt1000 temperature sensors which are accurate to 1 °C, ensuring optimal control of system func-
tions.
If desired, the sensor cables can be extended to a maximum of 30 m using a cable with a cross-section of at least
0.75 mm². Ensure there is no contact resistance! Position the sensor precisely in the area to be measured! Only use
immersion, pipe-mounted or flat-mounted sensors suitable for the specific area of application with the appropriate
permissible temperature range.
Low-voltage cables such as temperature sensor cables must be routed separately from mains voltage cables. Feed
temperature sensor cables only into the left-hand side of the unit, and mains voltage cables only into the right-hand
side.

Consider the explanations for the individual parameters on the following pages and check if further settings are
necessary for your application.
1. Measurement values
Serve to display the current measured temperatures.
If ‚error‘ appears on the display instead of the measurement
value, there may be a defective or incorrect temperature sensor.
If the cables are too long or the sensors are not well-placed, small
deviations in the measurement values may occur. In this case, the
display values can be compensated by adjustments in the con-
troller - see ‚Sensor calibration‘. The selected program, con-
nected sensors and the specific model design determine which
measurement values are displayed.
2. Statistics
Serve for function control and long-term monitoring of the system.
For system data statistics it is essential for the time to be set
accurately on the controller. Please note that the clock con-
tinues to run for about 24 hours if the mains voltage is inter-
rupted, and afterward must be reset. Improper operation or an
incorrect time may result in data being cleared, recorded incor-
rectly or overwritten. The manufacturer accepts no liability for
the recorded data!

times and the correspondingly set target flow temperatures!
Manual
In ‚Manual‘ mode, the individual relay outputs and the connected consumers can be checked for proper functioning and correct
assignment.
The operating mode ‚Manual‘ may only be used by specialists for brief function tests, e.g. during commissioning! Func-
tion in manual mode: The relays and thus the connected consumers are switched on and off by pressing a key, with no
regard to the current temperatures and set parameters. At the same time, the current measurement values of tem-
perature sensors are also shown in the display for the purposes of function control.
5. Settings
The basic settings for the control function of the heating circuit are applied.
Basic settings applied.
By no means does the controller replace the safety appliances on
site!
Operating mode
Heating= Automatic/Normal mode using the set times.
Reference Value = Fixed flow temperature regardless of the outdoor temperature. The desired flow temperature must be set in
Menu 4.3 .
14 days reference value program = For the next 14 days, you can enter the menu 4. temperatures for the next 14 days. After 14
days, the reference temperature of the 14th day is used continuously until the operating mode is changed. Different temperature
values can be set in menu 4.4 for every individual day.
S/W Day
Summer / Winter changeover in daytime mode
If this value is exceeded at the outdoor sensor the controller automatically switches the heating circuit off = Summer mode. If the
outdoor temperature drops below this value, the heating circuit is switched on again = Winter mode.
In addition to the operating times in normal daytime operation, this setting is also valid for times with activated comfort.
S/W Night
Summer/Winter changeover in night-time mode
If this value is exceeded at outdoor sensor S1 during the nighttime mode times, the controller automatically switches the heating
circuit off = Summer mode. If the outdoor temperature drops below this value, the heating circuit is switched on again = Winter
mode.
Curve
Type and slope of the heating characteristic curve
15

The characteristic curve is used to control the heat dissipation of the heating circuit relative to the outdoor temperature. The
demand for heat differs due to factors such as the type of building, heating, insulation and outdoor temperature. For this reason,
the controller can operate with a normal straight curve (setting ‚simple‘) or split curve (setting ‚split‘).
If ‚simple‘ is selected, the curve is adjusted using the graphic diagram. While setting the slope, the controller also shows the slope
value and the calculated target flow temperature at -12 °C as a reference point.
If ‚split‘ is selected, the curve is set in the following steps:
1. Slope over outdoor temperature for change
2. Outdoor temperature for slope change
3. Slope below outdoor temperature for change
While setting the slope, the controller also shows the slope value and the calculated target flow temperature at -12 °C as a ref-
erence point. In case of repeated adjustment of the split curve, the settings appear in reverse order.
The diagram shows the influence of the selected characteristic curve
steepness (standard curve) on the calculated reference flow
temperature of the heating unit. The correct characteristic curve is determ-
ined by defining the intersection point of the maximal calculated flow tem-
perature (=design temperature) at minimal outdoor temperature.
Example: The design temperature of the heater 60 °C flow at lowest out-
door temperature according to calculation of heat requirement
-12 °C. The intersection point renders a slope of 1.2 as the setting.
Day Correction
Parallel characteristic translation
The day correction causes a parallel shift of the heating curve during daytime operating hours, because with certain outdoor tem-
peratures the building might not be optimally heated with the set heating curve. With a non-optimised heating curve, the following
situations frequently occur: hot weather = room too cold/cold weather = room too hot. In this case, the slope of the curve should
be reduced stepwise by 0.2 points and increases the day correction
by 2 ... 4 °C each.
Night Correction
Parallel characteristic translation
The night correction produces a parallel translation of the heating characteristic during the nighttime operating hours. If a neg-
ative value is set for the night correction, the reference flow temperature is lowered accordingly during the nighttime operating
hours. In this manner, primarily at night, but also during the day when no-one is at home, the room temperature is lowered, thus
saving energy. Example: A day correction of +5 °C and a night correction of -2 °C produces a reference flow temperature in night-
time operation that is 7 °C lower.
Comfort Temperature Boost
Parallel characteristic translation
The comfort temperature boost is added to the set day correction. In this manner it is possible to carry out quick heating and/or
raise the temperature of living spaces at a certain time each day.
Heating Circuit Reference
If operating mode ‚Reference value‘ is selected, see " Operating mode " on page 15, the reference flow temperature must be set
here, regardless of the curve and outdoor temperature.
Max. Flow
This value is the upper limit of the reference flow temperature of the heating circuit If however, the temperature of the heating cir-
cuit exceeds the set value, the heat circuit shuts down until the temperature falls below this value. The system purged for 55
seconds every 5 minutes.
The customer must provide an additional limiting thermostat which is connected to the pumps in series (eg underfloor
heating) for safety.
16

Turn off HC
Summer: HC turns off when the summer/winter changeover (outside temperature) is exceeded.
Summer + Room: HC is turned off when the summer/winter changeover (outside temperature) or the room setpoint temperatures
are exceeded.
Heat request
MHCC can request a heat source (burner, heat pump, ...) if the heating circuit does not have enough energy (VL temperature).
Therfor either the signal output V1 is used or the request is transferred via the CAN bus to another controller in the CAN network.
Switching: Request is made via signal output V1.
Output signal to V1: "no request" = 0V, "request" = 10V
If a potential-free contact is required for the heat source, an external switching relay (Art. no. 77502) must be con-
nected to V1. see " External relay at signal output V(X) (0-10V / PWM) " on page 23.
Modulating: Request is made via signal output V1. The MHCC outputs the requested temperature (calculated target VL) as a
voltage via the signal output.
Example: Calculated target VL heating circuit 43 ° C, measured VL at sensor S2 40 ° C.
If the VL sensor exceeds the setpoint VL by 2K (preferece/actual -) for more than 2 minutes, the MHCC requests a heat source
with 4.3V (corresponds to 43 ° C setpoint VL).
The requested temperature can be raised with the value "Mod.Offset". 0.1V correspond to 1 ° C. If you set an offset of 0.5V, this
results in a requested temperature of 48 ° C or 4.8V (43 ° C corresponds to 4.3V + 0.5V (offset) = 4.8V corresponds to 48 ° C)
CAN: Request is made via the CAN bus; the heat request must be activated (switching or modulating) on a controller in the net-
work.
This controller receives the request via the CAN bus and passes it to the connected heat source.
Eco mode (during solar charge)
The economy mode for this function can be operated in 2 different variants:
Shutdown: The function is not started with an active solar charge.
Lowering: The Energy saving mode switches the heating on when T eco is undershot and heats up to T eco + hysteresis when
solar charge or solid fuel boiler is active.
Reference/Actual -
Switch on hysteresis for additional heating
This setting determines the allowed undershoot of the heating circuit temperature below the calculated reference fl ow tem-
perature. If the heating circuit flow temperature and the storage temperature drop below the reference flow temperature by this
value, the additional heating will start the additional heat source after a 1 minute delay.
Heat request is started when the flow temperature is continuously below reference temperature for 1 minute.
14-day Reference
If operating mode‚ 14-day reference value‘ is selected see " Operating mode " on page 15, the reference flow temperature for
each of the 14 days can be set here. In Menu 4.4.1, the starting time of the program is shown. To restart the reference program,
press ‚restart‘.
Pressing ‚restart‘ again will reset the 14-day reference program and restart it at Day 1.
17

6. Protective Functions
The 'Protective functions‘ can be used by specialists to activate and set vari-
ous protective functions.
By no means does the controller replace the safety appliances on
site!
Seizing Protection
If the anti-seizing protection is activated, the controller switches the heat pump and the mixer on/off at 12:00 noon for 5 seconds to
prevent seizing of the pump/valve after long periods of inactivity.
Frost Protection
If the external temperature on sensor S1 goes below 1 °C and the heating circuit is turned off, the heating circuit will automatically
be turned on if the frost protection is activated and the reference flow temperature is set at the minimum flow temperature set
under see " Min. Flow " on page 18. As soon as the outdoor temperature exceeds 1 ° C, the heat circuit is switched off again.
Switching the frost protection function off or setting the minimum flow temperature too low can lead to severe damage
to the system.
Min. Flow
The minimum flow temperature is the lower limit of the heating curve, and by this, the reference flow temperature of the heating cir-
cuit. In addition to that, the minimal flow temperature is the reference flow temperature for the frost protection function.
Max. Flow
This value is the upper limit of the reference flow temperature of the heating circuit If however, the temperature of the heating cir-
cuit exceeds the set value, the heat circuit shuts down until the temperature falls below this value. The system purged for 55
seconds every 5 minutes.
The customer must provide an additional limiting thermostat which is connected to the pumps in series (eg underfloor
heating) for safety.
Discharge Protection
When activated, the heating circuit pump is switched off when the specified flow temperature is not reached, even though the mix-
ing valve is at least somewhat open. Every 5 minutes, the system checks if the flow temperature has been reached.

7. Special Functions
Used to set basic items and expanded functions.
The settings in this menu should only be changed by a specialist.
Sensor Calibration
Deviations in the temperature values displayed, for example. due to cables which are too long or sensors which are not posi-
tioned optimally can be compensated for manually here. The settings can be made for each individual sensor in steps of 0.5 °C.
Settings are only necessary in special cases at the time of initial commissioning by the specialist. Incorrect meas-
urement values can lead to unpredictable errors.
Commissioning
Starting commissioning help guides you in the correct order through the basic settings necessary for commissioning, and
provides brief descriptions of each parameter in the display. Pressing the ‚esc‘ key takes you back to the previous value so you
can look at the selected setting again or adjust it if desired. Pressing ‚esc‘ more than once takes you back to the selection mode,
thus cancelling the commissioning help see " Commissioning help " on page 13
May only be started by a specialist during commissioning! Observe the explanations for the individual parameters in
these instructions, and check whether further settings are necessary for your application.
Factory Settings
All settings can be reset, returning the controller to its delivery state.
All of the controller‘s parametrization, statistics, etc. will be lost irrevocably. The controller must then be commissioned
once again.
Mixer
Here individual parameters for mixer control can be changed.
Turn Time
The mixer is switched on i.e. is opening or closing for the time span set here, then the temperature is measured to control the flow
temperature
Pause Factor
The calculated pause time of the mixer is multiplied with the value set here. If the pause factor is ‚1‘, the normal pause time is
used, ‚0.5‘ will use half the normal pause time. Setting the pause factor to ‚4‘ would quadruple the pause time.
Increase
If the temperature rises very fast, this value is added to the measured flow temperature so that the mixer’s reaction is stronger. If
the measured temperature does not rise any more, the measured value is used again. The measurement occurs once every
minute.
Settings are only necessary in special cases at the time of initial commissioning by the specialist. Incorrect meas-
urement values can lead to unpredictable errors.
Room Controller heating circ. (X)
The settings necessary for the optional room controller RC21 are set in this menu. The three modes, ‚Continuous Day‘, ‚Continu-
ous Night‘ and ‚Time controlled/Automatic‘ can be switched at the RC21. Additionally the reference temperature of the flow can
be parallel translated by turning the control wheel. If the wheel is set to minimum, only the minimum values that can be set in the
protective functions menu will be used.

Room Controller
This value is used to appoint the amount of influence the room temperature has on the reference flow temperature, as a per-
centage. For each degree deviation between room temperature and set point temperature, the percentage set here is added
from the calculated set flow temperature to the set flow temperature or subtracted from it until the min. or max flow values.
Example: Reference room temp.: e.g. 25 °C; room temp.: e.g. 20 °C ±5 °C. Calculated reference temp.: e.g. 40 °C: room con-
troller: 10 %= 4 °C 5 X 4 °C= 20 °C. Accordingly, 20 °C are added to the reference flow temperature, giving 60 °C. If the value is
higher than the one set in max. flow temp, the resulting temperature is the one set in max. flow temp.
Room Reference (Day)
The desired room temperature for day mode. As long as this temperature is not reached, the reference flow temperature is
raised and/or lowered according to the percent setting in ‚room controller‘. If ‚room controller‘ is set to 0 %, this function is deac-
tivated.
Room Reference (Night)
The desired room temperature for night mode. As long as this temperature is not reached, the reference flow temperature is
raised and/or lowered according to the percent setting in ‚room controller‘. If ‚room controller‘ is set to 0 %, this function is deac-
tivated.
In the modes ‚Set point‘ and ‚Set point program, the room controller has no influence.
Thermostat (X)
The room controller is selected here. If no room controller is connected and a room controller is connected via the CAN Bus,
another room controller can be selected here.
The CAN bus ID of a controller is shown in the respective controller menu under 7.7.4. special functions - network. In °CALEON
see the CAN Bus ID in the expert menu under Network. Choose the Room Controller with the CAN Bus ID of the corresponding
controller.
Eco Display Mode
In Eco Display Mode the backlight of the display is switched off if no buttons are pushed for 2 minutes.
If a message exists, the backlight does not switch off until the message has been scanned by the user.
Network
If applicable, the network settings of the connected data logger have to be adjusted
Access Control
This menu lets you give up to 4 users access to the data logger. The users that are registered then have access to the controller
or respectively the data logger.
To add a user in the list, select <add user>. Leave the now visible menu open und connect to the address of the connector or
respectively the data logger. Your user name is going to appear in this menu and can be selected and confirmed with ‘OK’.
Note
You can find the address of the connector or respectively the data logger on the address sticker on the outside of the casing.
Pointers and help on how to establish a connection you can find in the enclosed SOREL connect instructions or the instructions
of the data logger.
Select a user with ‘OK’ to grant access.
To revoke access again, choose one of the users from your list and choose <remove user>.
Ethernet
The data logger‘s Ethernet connection settings can be set using this menu.
MAC Address
Displays the individual MAC address of the data logger.
Auto-Configuration (DHCP)
If auto-configuration is activated, the data logger requests IP addresses and network parameters from a DHCP server that
assigns an IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP and DNS server IP. If you deactivate the auto configuration (DCHP), you will
have to make the required network settings manually!
IP-Address
Please refer to the router configuration for the IP address to be set.
Subnetz
Please refer to the router configuration for the subnetz to be set.
