Product overview

The thermostat is primarily designed for use in systems equipped with 4-pipe fan-coil units. It may also be used in other heat / cool systems, including split systems and air to air heat-pumps.
The thermostat controls room temperature by sequencing the operation of heating and cooling. A selectable dead-band prevents overlap of heating and cooling processes. For systems equipped with compressor derived cooling, including heat-pumps, a selectable compressor delay timer is also included. If used to control a heat-pump, the reversing valve can be energisation on either a heat or cool demand.

Installation

  • First remove the wallplate from the back of the unit.Danfoss RET230 HC1 Electronic Heat Cool Thermostat with Auto Changeover - parts
  • Ensure that there is a minimum of 50mm above the unit and 100mm below the unit in order to mount the plug-in module.
  • Fix at a height of approximately 1.5m from the floor, away from draughts or heat sources such a fan-coil outlets, sunlight or office equipment.Danfoss RET230 HC1 Electronic Heat Cool Thermostat with Auto Changeover - parts1

Commissioning

Prior to re-fitting the thermostat to the wallplate, the DIL switches on the rear of the unit must be set to the desired setting.Danfoss RET230 HC1

DIL Switch descriptions

Switch 8: If set to On/Off, both heating and cooling stages operate in on/off mode. If set to Chrono, heating stage operates in chrono-proportional modes, cooling continues in On/off mode.
Switch 7: Active only if switch 8 is set to Chrono. This switch determines the number of cycles per hour that the thermostat will impose on the system, the options are three 20 minute cycles or six 10 minute cycles.
Switch 6: Allows Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature scaling to be selected.
Switch 5: Enables or disables a compressor delay timer which is activated at the end of each cooling call. This feature need only be used where cooling is provided by a compressor as opposed to chilled water. Set to Cmp del if a compressor delay is required, otherwise leave set to No Cmp del.
Switch 4: Active only if switch 5 is set to Cmp del. The options are 3 or 4 minutes.
Switch 3: Allows dead-band between heating and cooling to be set, options are 2°C or 4°C.
Switch 2: Allows application to set as fan coil or as heat pump. If heat- pump is selected, the output normally used to operate the heating valve is re- assigned to the heat-pump reversing valve, the compressor stop/start signal for both heat and cool calls is re-assigned to the relay normally used to operate the cooling valve.
Switch 1: The function of this switch is dependent upon the setting of switch 2:

  • Switch 2 set to Fan-coil: Leave set to TS2
  • Switch 2 set to Heat-pump: allows the reversing valve to be set up to be energised in heating mode (R+), or energised in cooling mode (R-)

Mounting thermostat to the wallplate

  • To mount the thermostat to the wallplate, align the tabs on the top of the thermostat with the apertures in the wallplate and hinge the thermostat down, pressin firmly to engage the securing clip in the wallplate.Danfoss RET230 HC1 Electronic Heat Cool Thermostat with Auto Changeover - parts7

Locking & limiting

  • To lock or limit the setting range turn the setting dial to 3 and remove knob.
  • Position the locking springs on the rear of the dial to the desired position and re-mount the knob ensuring that number 3 on the dial aligns with the reference mark on the case.Danfoss RET230 HC1 Electronic Heat Cool Thermostat with Auto Changeover - parts8
