Warning/Caution Notations

WARNING:

Personal injury, or loss of life may occur if you do not follow a

procedure as specified.

CAUTION:

Equipment damage, or loss of data may occur if you do not

follow a procedure as specified.

Functions

The controller measures the room temperature with its integrated sensor or external

return air temperature sensor (QAH11.1)—if used—and maintains the setpoint by

delivering control commands to the two-position (on/off) valve.

The switching differential is adjustable; it can be 2°F (1°C) or 7°F (4°C) in Heating

mode, or 1°F (0.5°C) or 3.5°F (2°C) in Cooling mode.

Fan Operation

The fan is switched to the selected speed via control output 11, 10 or 9 (Low, Medium

or High).

When the Temperature-dependent fan control function is activated (can be selected

with DIP Switch No. 1), the fan and valve are switched ON or OFF depending on the

temperature.

It is switched OFF by:

•Leaving the Heating or Cooling sequence, if the function Temperature-dependent

fan control is activated.

•Manually changing to Standby , if room conditions do not call for Freeze Protection

mode.

•Activating an external operating mode changeover switch, if installation conditions

do not call for Energy Saving or Freeze Protection mode.

•Turning the controller’s power supply OFF.

Heating/Cooling Mode

Output terminals 7 and 5 (neutral) command the control valve.

Output terminals 7 and 5 are open (0 Vac) when:

1. The measured room temperature is at half the switching differential below the

setpoint (Heating mode), and

2. The valve has been fully closed for more than one minute.

Output terminals 7 and 5 are closed (120 Vac) when:

1. The measured room temperature is at half the switching differential above the

setpoint (Heating mode), and

2. The valve has been fully open for more than one minute.

NOTE: Output terminals 7 and 5 deliver a control command only for fail-safe open

(Normally Open) valve/actuator assemblies. Fail-safe closed (Normally

Closed) valve/actuator assemblies cannot be used with the RCC10U

Controller.

Return Air Temperature

The RCC10U provides control based on either the measured room temperature or the

fan coil unit’s return air temperature.

Changeover is automatic if a QAH11.1 cable temperature sensor is connected to the

device. Place the sensor in the return air duct and terminate to the controller.

Order the QAH11.1 separately for return air sensing.

The controller uses the water temperature measured by the changeover sensor

(QAH11.1) to switch from Heating to Cooling mode, or vice versa. When the water

temperature is above 82°F (28°C), the controller switches to Heating mode; below 61°F

(16°C) it switches to Cooling mode. If the water temperature is between the two

changeover points immediately after switching on, the controller will start in the Heating

mode. The water temperature is measured at one-minute intervals and the operational

status is updated.

Remote Changeover

Heating/Cooling

An electric switch placed between input terminals 2 and 3 can

facilitate remote changeover. Terminals 2 and 4 must be bridged.

When the switch is closed, the Cooling mode is selected. When the

switch is open, the Heating mode is selected. Up to ten thermostats

can be connected in parallel.

Heating only

For heating only applications, input terminals 2 and 3 are open.

Cooling only

For cooling only applications, input terminals 2 and 3 must be

bridged with wire.

Purging Function

The changeover sensor initiates the change from Heating to Cooling mode even if the

two-way valves are shut down for a long period of time. To ensure this function, the

valves are opened for one minute at two-hour intervals.

After power is reset to the controller, the heating and cooling valve will open for one

minute to flush pipes, for accurate remote changeover sensing. When this function is

completed, the changeover sensor will select the correct mode.

Setpoint Limit Stops

The room temperature setpoint can be limited in increments of 2°F (1°C) by using the

minimum and maximum setpoint limit stops. This prevents unauthorized setpoint

adjustment.

To set limit stops, remove the setpoint knob by pulling straight off the shaft. Reposition

gray tabs for high and low stops in the holes around the perimeter of knob as required.

See Figure 2.

Figure 2. Setpoint Limit Stops.

Operating Modes

The following operating modes are available:

Normal Operating Mode

Heating or Cooling mode with automatic changeover and with manually selected fan

speed: (Low), (Medium), (High). In Normal operation, the controller maintains

the adjusted setpoint.

Freeze Protection Mode

The Freeze Protection function is activated only when DIP Switch No. 4 is set to OFF.

Freeze Protection mode can be activated by:

•Manually switching to Standby .

•Activating the external operating mode changeover switch, if DIP Switch No. 2 is set

to OFF.

If the room temperature falls below 46°F (8°C), the controller will automatically switch to

Freeze Protection mode. In that case, the heating valve opens and the fan operates at

the selected speed. If the Standby mode is selected, the fan will operate at low speed.

The room temperature is maintained at a setpoint of 46°F (8°C) and the setpoint

adjusted by the user will be ignored.

If Freeze Protection operation is locked (DIP Switch No. 4 in position ON), Standby is

also locked, which means that the controller will switch to OFF instead of Standby.

Energy Saving Mode

In Energy Saving mode, the heating setpoint is 61°F (16°C) and the cooling setpoint is

82°F (28°C), independent of the position of the setpoint knob. This operating mode will

be activated when input D1 for operating mode changeover is active and DIP Switch

No. 2 is set to ON.

When the DIP switch is in Energy Saving mode and the fan speed control is set to

Standby, the Energy Saving mode takes precedence over Standby mode. When the

room temperature drops below the Energy Saving setpoint, the fan operates at low

speed until the energy load is satisfied; then the fan turns off. Low fan speed will be

selected even though the fan switch is on Standby.

Operating Mode

Changeover Switch

A changeover switch can be connected to status input D1–GND. When the switch

closes its contact (such as, caused by an open window), the operating mode will

change from Normal operation to Energy Saving mode (if DIP Switch No. 2 is set to

ON), or from Normal operation to Standby (if DIP Switch No. 2 is set to OFF). If the

room temperature falls below 46°F (8°C) and if DIP Switch No. 4 is set to OFF, Freeze

Protection mode will become active.

The operating action of the switch (NC or NO) can be selected by DIP Switch 3.

Mechanical Design

The unit consists of two parts:

•A plastic housing which accommodates the electronics, the operating elements and

the built-in room temperature sensor.

•A controller base.

The housing snaps into the top of the mounting base and is secured with a screw at the

bottom.

The wire terminal block is mounted on the base; the DIP switches are located at the

rear of the housing.

To access the DIP switches, remove controller from controller base. See Figure 3.

Mounting,

Installation and

Commissioning

•The unit can be located on a wall or inside a fan coil unit. Do not mount in direct

sunlight or near other heat or refrigeration sources.

•Mounting height is approximately 60 inches (150 cm) above the floor, when using

the wall mounting option. See Figure 5.

•The unit can be fitted to most commercially available recessed electrical wall boxes

or directly on the wall. A Wall Box Adapter Kit (ARG70), ordered separately, is

recommended but not required to mount an RCC10U controller to a

2-inch × 4-inch electrical wall box. An ARG70 is required for 4-inch × 4-inch electrical

wall box mounting. The wall plate will cover the drywall cutout.

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

•After applying power, the controller makes a reset during which the fan LED flashes

indicating that the reset has been accomplished. This takes about three seconds.

When the LED stops flashing, the controller is ready to operate.

Figure 5. Acceptable Mounting Height in Inches.

•Prior to fitting the changeover sensor, apply thermal conductive paste on the pipe

where the sensor is to be placed. Secure with plastic cable ties.

•The sensor is not position sensitive.

•The cables used must meet the insulation requirements for live voltage.

•The control valve is fully open for one minute upon start-up to determine if it is in

Heating or Cooling mode (purging function).

•User input via setpoint knob or operating mode/fan speed selector results in

instantaneous response. There is a one-minute delay before changes made to

temperature sensing and changeover are implemented.

WARNING:

Sensor inputs 1, 2 and 3 carry live voltage potential. If the sensor’s cables

must be extended, the cables used must be suited for live voltage.

•Installation Instructions are included with the controller.
