Operating instructions for X2 devices with touch display
The X2 operating system was designed for universal controllers and sensors. Devices based on the X2 operating system
contain a multitude of standardized functions and application possibilities. From simple ventilation controllers for domestic
applications to HVAC system solutions for entire buildings. There is a suitable solution for almost every application. With the
EasySet program, the controllers can be conveniently read out, programmed and transferred to other controllers.

displayed. It is possible to omit the display of the current value. In this case the setpoint will be shown on the large digits and
nothing is shown on the small display.
The X2 device allows for various ways of user access and display screen configurations. The actual display my differ
from the samples below.
Procedure
1. Press the ( / / ) button briefly to go to the first control loop.

➔Top bar indicates control loop (1-4).
2. Change the setpoint with the ( ) or ( ) button.
The setpoint is automatically saved after 2 seconds.
3. Press the () button to go to the next control loop.
3.4 Manual Controlling Mode
The hand symbol is displayed during a pending delay, if a time schedule is overridden or a fan is in manual.
In case a start-up delay is active: - The controller remains switched off and displays the hand symbol until the delay has
elapsed. Then the controller switches on and the hand symbol goes out.

3.5 Protection (OFF) Operating Mode
The X2 device runs in protection mode. The system is protected against overheating and frost if enabled. Inputs are
monitored for alarms.
3.6 Holiday Mode
If an annual time schedule is active, the X2 device runs in standby. The system is protected against overheating and frost if
enabled. Inputs are monitored for alarms.
3.7 Power Failure
All parameters and set points are memorized and do not need to be re-entered. The switch-on behavior on return of the
power supply is set by the technician.
If a real-time clock is present, the clock and time schedule settings are retained for 48 hours after the device has been
powered for at least 10 hours.
For additional information see chapter 5.1, page 9.

4Applicationspecific Operation
The X2 device allows for various ways of customized operation, user access and display screen configurations.
4.1 Idle Display
The idle display is activated when no key has been pressed for 30 seconds.
The idle display can be deactivated by the technician.
If deactivated, the display will remain in the last used window.
4.2 Fan Coil Mode
In "Fan Coil Mode" there is just one control loop and one active fan.
Procedure
1. Press the ( / / ) button briefly to go to the control loop.
➔Input value and setpoint are displayed.
2. Change the setpoint with the ( ) or ( ) button.
The setpoint is automatically saved after 2 seconds.
3. Press the () button briefly to change the fan speed.
➔The side bar indicates the actual fan speed. The fan speed will
alternate between FSP0 -> FSP1 -> FSP2 -> FSP3 -> AUTO –> FSP0
FSP0 may be disabled by settings, the number of available fan speeds
may be different.
FSPx = FanSpeed 0-3
4.3 Override of secondary set point in cascade control
If cascade control is active (with VAV for example) or if the setpoint is controlled by an input, the user can manually select the
set point (the loop is then changed to constant air volume mode). This function is helpful for tuning the VAV system. While the
secondary loop is displayed change the set point with UP/DOWN. The hand symbol appears. Change setpoint again to cancel
cascade override. The hand symbol disappears.
With cascade control or if the setpoint is controlled by an input, manual override of the setpoint can be deactivated.
This is defined by the technician in the controller settings.
If manual override for cascade controls is deactivated, the secondary control loop will not be shown on the display.

5Extended Operating Level
5.1 Clock Operation
Overview
This section gives an overview of the clock and the available timed functions of the X2 controller.
Note on Accuracy
Warning: The TCX2-40863 and X2 devices with a "C" addition (e.g. TRI2-FU-TH-221.202C) have a real-time clock.
This clock is accurate to two seconds a day.
Other TCX2 series devices may have no time functions or if they do, they calculate the time based on the
processor's internal clock speed. This time source is accurate to approx. 2 minutes per day. If the controller uses its
time program functions, it is therefore necessary to synchronize the time of these controllers at least every 24
hours with an exact time base.
Time Programs
The TCX2-40863 and devices with a "C" addition (e.g. TRI2-FU-TH-221.202C) have a real-time clock with a
maintenance-free power backup.
Up to 12 time and weekday programs or annual holidays can be programmed (Pr01 to Pr12). Schedules can change the
operating mode of the controller (on, off, occupied, unoccupied), change the fan status, position an output directly or change
a setpoint.
The summer/winter time changeover can be activated by the technician via user parameters.
A flashing clock indicates that the time has not been set or that the terminal has been without power for more than 48
hours. The time must be set for the schedules to work.
