Description 

Position ON (Factory Setting) 

Position OFF 

Fan control 

Fan control is temperature-
independent in Normal mode 

Fan control is temperature-
dependent in all operating 
modes 

Display of temperature or setpoint 

Room (or return air) temperature 
display 

Setpoint display 

 

Operating action of switch for external 
operating mode changeover 

Changeover activated when switch is 
closed 

Changeover activated when 
switch is open 

Output sequence 

Heating and cooling (four-pipe) 

Two-stage cooling 

 

 

Mounting, 
Installation and 
Commissioning 
Notes 

 

Mounting location: On a wall or inside the fan coil unit.  

 

Do not mount in niches or bookshelves, behind curtains, above or near heat 
sources.  

 

Do not mount in direct sunlight.  

 

Mounting height is approximately 60 inches (1.5 m) above the floor.  

 

The connecting wires can be run to the controller from a recessed conduit box. 

 

Figure 3.  Acceptable Mounting Height in Inches. 

 

Check the positions of the DIP switches and change them, if required.  

 

After applying power, the controller makes a reset during which all LCD segments 
flash, indicating that the reset has been correctly made. This takes about three 
seconds. Then, the controller is ready to operate.
