Operating modes 

The following operating modes are available: 

Normal operation  

In Normal operation, the controller maintains the setpoint, which can be adjusted via 
the     buttons. The fan can be set to automatic or manual fan speed: Low, medium 
or high.  
The setpoint setting range can be limited to a minimum (P05) and maximum (P06). This 
helps prevent the waste of energy, thus saving costs.  

Tip! 

In Auto Timer mode 

AUTO

, the controller will automatically change over between Normal 

operation and Energy Saving mode according to the 8 preprogrammed timers. The 
display shows the Auto Timer mode symbol 

AUTO

 and the symbol of the operating mode 

currently maintained, either Normal operation   or Energy Saving mode  . 
The setpoints of Energy Saving mode can be adjusted via control parameters  
P01 and P02.  
The default fan speed in Auto Timer mode is automatic fan. 

Auto Timer mode 

Energy Saving mode 

Standby 

When the controller is in Standby mode  , the relevant setpoints of heating or cooling 
are maintained. These setpoints can be adjusted via control parameters P03 and P04. 
Factory setting of both setpoints is OFF, which means that the controller is not acti-
vated when in Standby mode. 

To avoid damage due to moisture in very warm and humid climatic zones resulting from 
lack of air circulation in Energy Saving mode, the fan can be kept running all the time 
(e.g. in apartments or shops during unoccupied periods), when setting parameter P20 
“ON in dead zone”. In this case, the fan keeps running at minimum fan speed 1.

Control sequences 

Used in conjunction with a valve, either for heating / cooling with changeover, heating 
only or cooling only. 

Water-based fan coil
