INFORMATION

CONCERNING

ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

AND ENVIRONMENT

This product may contain dangerous volt-

age. The product’s housing is not meant 

to be removed. At a supply voltage of 

230V AC the product must be powered 

via a nearby mains switch labelled “Mains 

Switch for CFA freeze protection alarm”. 

The product’s relay switch can be powered 

with 230V. The power must be switched off 

during maintenance. The product is intend-

ed for indoor use only. The product must 

not be subjected to liquid or moisture. The  

product’s exterior can be cleaned using 

a damp cloth. The product is intended for 

mounting on a DIN rail / Norm enclosure in 

a protected space.

2. FUNCTION

CFA is connected to a temperature sensor that  

measures the water temperature in the heating 

coil. The water temperature in the heating coil is  

normally regulated by another regulator/DUC with the  

control signal (0-10 or 10-0V) connected via CFA to the  

control valve. If the water temperature in the coil 

drops without any response from the regulator / 

DUC, CFA starts regulating the control valve.
When the water temperature in the coil drops below 

the pre-set alarm temperature, both relay outlets fall 

(normally activated). 

Daytime mode

During daytime the control signal regulates with a 

proportional band of 4°C. The control signal begins 

regulating when the temperature drops to the pre-set 

alarm temperature plus one degree plus the 

 

proportional band.
Example 1: Alarm temperature = 5°C: The control 

signal begins regulating at 10°C (5+1+4).
Example 2: Alarm temperature = 5°C: At or under 

6°C the control signal is 100%.

DAYTIME MODE

Daytime mode is activated by a short circuit 

between terminals 9 and 12. During daytime 

mode, D4 is shown in the top right-hand corner 

of the display and DI (under °C) is lit to indicate 

that the digital input (DI) is short-circuited.

Night mode / warming function

During night mode (warming function) the water 

temperature in the heating coil is regulated by 

a setpoint that is adjustable between 5 and 50° 

(proportional band: 10°C).

Self-test

During start-up and the replacement of 

 

temperature sensors, CFA performs a self-test. 

Three lines begin to blink at the bottom of the  

display. The current temperature shows up here 

on completion. Interruption on the temperature 

sensor circuit shows up as Er0 on the display, 

and Er1 for short circuit. Upon interruption or 

short circuit, the alarm relays fall and the control 

signal goes to 100%.

3. USE

CFA is an electronic freeze protection alarm with 

a digital display that is used to monitor frost in 

air heating systems that use water as the heat  

carrier.

4. INSTALLATION

CFA is mounted on a DIN rail and is suited to 

Norm enclosures.

5. MAINTENANCE

CFA requires no maintenance.
