Safety

CAUTION

National safety regulations

Failure to comply with national safety regulations may result in personal injury and property damage. Observe national provisions and comply with the appropriate safety regulations.

Mounting

• The thermostat is suitable for mounting directly on the wall or on a 4” x 4” conduit box (using the ARG70 adapter plate).
• Recommended height: 1.5 m above the floor.
• Do not mount the devices in recesses, shelves, behind curtains or doors, or above or near heat sources.
• Avoid direct solar radiation and drafts.
• Seal the conduit box or the installation tube if any, as air currents can affect sensor readings.
• Adhere to allowed ambient conditions.

Installation

WARNING
No internal line protection for supply lines to external consumers Risk of fire and injury due to short-circuits

• The AC 24 V mains supply line must have an external circuit breaker with a rated current of no more than 10 A.
• Adapt the supply line cable diameters as per local regulations to the rated value of the installed over-current protection device.
• Disconnect the thermostat from the power supply before removing it from the mounting plate.

WARNING
Relay outputs (DO1, DO2, DO3, DO4 or UO1) connected to mains voltage Injuries caused by electric shock when touching the device

• Adapt the relay cable diameters as per local regulations to the rated value of the installed over-current protection device.
• Use only valve actuators rated for AC 24 V.

Commissioning
The RDB160BNU thermostat is delivered with pre-programmed control sequences. The relevant application and its parameters can be selected using the buttons on the thermostat. This can be done through:

• Setup Wizard : Only appears the first time the thermostat is powered on. It enables rapid system configuration of the most important parameters. For a list of these parameters, please refer to the installation instructions. See chapter ‘Product documentation [▶ 6]’.
• Parameter Menu : Available anytime. Used to access and change the complete parameter set. For a list of these parameters, please refer to the commissioning instructions. See chapter ‘Product documentation

Disposal
The symbol with the crossed-out waste container means that electrical and electronic products and batteries may not be disposed of in normal household waste. They must be placed in separate collection and recycling containers according to the applicable laws. Please also refer to any applicable national labelling requirements. Proper disposal helps save valuable resources and prevents potentially harmful effects to people and the environment. Spent batteries and accumulators that can be removed from old devices for disposal, must be removed and placed in the indicated disposal channels. You are responsible for deleting any personal data from old devices for disposal. The registered manufacturers or distributors of electrical and electronic devices have established a common system for returning old devices. Suppliers of electrical devices must accept the returned devices at no charge. You can return old devices to the original sales location or to recycling or collection centers for old electrical devices. Please contact your regional or municipal offices/authorities for information on recycling centers or collection centers for old electrical devices
