Introduction

Safety instructions

This document contains important warnings and safety instructions which must be observed and followed by users. Failure to follow these warnings and safety instructions may cause the Room Controller Touch to malfunction.

Intended use

The Room Controller Touch has been designed solely for residential use in private homes and small offices. It is not suitable for industrial use.

The Room Controller Touch is designed to facilitate room climate control via an intuitive LCD touchscreen menu.

This document describes the operation of the Room Controller Touch if used in Effect Regulation mode. Temperature-based control is described in a separate user manual.

| The Room Controller should be set to Effect Regulation mode during installation. This mode is activated if the temperature screen displays a percentage (%) instead of a temperature value (°C). Contact your installer for more information.
---|---

In contrast with temperature regulation, which is based on the measured temperature, the Effect Regulation mode uses a set percentage of time during which the heating should be active to control the room climate. Effect regulation is typically used in situations where no reliable temperature measurements are possible.

| Since the transmission of radio signals is based on a non-exclusive communication channel, interference is possible. As a result, the Room Controller Touch must not be used to control components with safety-related functions, such as devices for protection against overheating, emergency stop or emergency call.
---|---

The use of the device for any purpose other than that described in this document, and failure to observe the warnings and safety instructions it contains, will immediately invalidate the warranty and/or any liability claims.

Instructions for disposal

Do not dispose of this device with regular domestic waste.
Electronic equipment must be disposed of at local collection points for waste electronic equipment and in compliance with the local regulations governing waste electrical and electronic equipment.

About this document

These operating instructions are intended for end users and describe the operation and menu structure of the Room Controller Touch with software version 3v00.U or higher. The Effect Regulation mode is only supported by the software version that ending in “.U”.

Note: The software version is displayed during power-up of the Room Controller Touch, e.g. Display `123.U’ -> Version: 1v23.U.

Certain functions and their availability require the Room Controller Touch to be configured during installation. These functions are marked as (Optional).

| Please contact a suitably qualified electrical engineer for assembly, installation and basic configuration of the device, as well as for its disposal. Faulty installation or configuration may pose a danger to property and persons

Room Controller Touch

Operation

The Room Controller Touch is equipped with a backlit display with touch function. The touchscreen is used to display the information needed for operating the Room Controller Touch.

Note:| The display is designed to respond to push action only. Compared to the touch displays commonly found in smartphones or tablets it may therefore be necessary to press the screen a little more firmly.
---|---

In the idle state, the display shows the latest selected information menu with the backlight switched off. Once it is touched, the display enters the active state. In this state, the backlight is switched on, and if connected to the xComfort Bridge, the display will refresh to get the latest status data.

Note:| To maximize the battery life, there may be a slight delay between the information displayed in the idle state and the actual status as shown in the xComfort Bridge. The maximum possible delay can be reduced by the installer, but this will lead to a reduction in battery life. In all other configurations the display will always show the latest information.
---|---

Child protection

To prevent any unwanted changes, the display can be locked by pressing it at the top for approximately 5 seconds until Loc.’ (flashing) appears on the display. ![](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/9-195.png) To unlock the display, again press the top area for approximately 5 seconds untilULoc’ (flashing) appears on the display.

When locked, the Room Controller Touch will ignore any touch activity on the display; if touched, it will display `Loc.’ (flashing) for a short period, after which it will return to the idle state.

Cleaning mode

To prevent any unwanted changes during the cleaning of the Room Controller Touch, the display can be put into cleaning mode.

| The Room Controller Touch must only be cleaned with glass cleaner or window cleaner, and never with abrasive products.
---|---

In cleaning mode, the Room Controller Touch will ignore any touching activity on the display. The display will then show the remaining time in seconds until the Room Controller Touch switches back to normal operation.

Replacing the batteries

The Room Controller Touch operates with 2x LR03 (AAA) batteries, which are located in the rear section of the device.
Replace the batteries once the low battery indicator appears on the display.

Note:| Optionally, the Room Controller Touch can also be used with an external power adapter. In this case, batteries are not required. Contact your installer for more information.
---|---

| Do NOT press the center of the display when mounting the device!! To correctly mount the device, use both hands and press the outer frame of the Room Controller Touch instead.
---|---

Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular domestic waste. They should be taken to a battery disposal point.

| Never recharge standard batteries!! This entails a risk of explosion.
Do not throw the batteries into fires.
Do not short-circuit the batteries.
---|---

Operation mode

General

The operational functions of the Room Controller Touch are grouped as follows:

Basic functions (the most frequently used functions)
Enhanced functions (functions that are only used occasionally)
Edit functions (functions for changing the settings)

Note:| To start operating the Room Controller Touch and to activate the display, touch the screen once.
---|---

To maximize the battery life, the Room Controller Touch display will enter the idle state after a period of inactivity. In this state, the display shows the latest selected screen with the backlight switched off. Touching the display will return it to the active state. In this state, the backlight is switched on and if connected to the xComfort Bridge, the display will refresh to get the latest status information.

Note:| To return from the submenus to the main screen, press the `screen selection’ area at the top right of the display. The display will automatically switch back to the main screen if it is not touched for 5 seconds.

Basic functions

Show the current regulation percentage value

The temperature screen shows the current active regulation percentage value.

Note:| The active regulation percentage value is the sum total of the pre-defined value and any temporary adjustment (increase or decrease) that has been programmed.
---|---

Adjust the current regulation percentage value

It is possible to increase or decrease the current regulation value. Any increase or decrease will permanently change the predefined setpoint regulation value.

Switch between the pre-defined regulation value (operation mode)
To simplify changing the desired regulation values during the day, the Room Controller Touch supports four different pre-defined and reprogrammable regulation values (operation modes). It is possible to manually switch between these pre-defined regulation values. The pre-defined regulation values can also be used in the week program (if enabled) to automatically switch between the different regulation values at a set time.

Note:| Manually switching between the pre-defined regulation values (operation mode) will deactivate the week program.
---|---

(Optional) Show the outdoor temperature
The Room Controller can show the outdoor temperature if, during installation, the external temperature sensor input is configured for use as an outdoor temperature sensor.

(Optional) Show the floor temperature
This function is available if, during installation, the external temperature sensor input is configured to be used as a floor temperature sensor.
Show the time and the day of the week The current time and the day of week can be displayed.

Show the time and the day of the week
The current time and the day of week can be displayed.

(Optional) Touch button(s)
The touch buttons of the Room Controller Touch can be used, for example, as pushbuttons to control the lights, shutters/blinds in the room, or to trigger scenes in the xComfort Bridge.

Note:| To implement this function, an actuator or intelligent device must be connected to the touch button(s) of the Room Controller Touch during installation. Contact your installer for more information.
---|---

The Room Controller Touch has up to two touch buttons The two touch buttons will function as one 2-pole pushbutton. The touch button on the left controls the ON/UP (short/long press) function while the one on the right handles the OFF/DOWN function.

Enhanced functions

(Optional) Activate/deactivate the week program
The week program can be deactivated (OFF) or activated (ON). If it is deactivated, it is only possible to manually switch between the pre-defined regulation values (operation mode); if it is activated, the operation mode will be based on the programmed week program.

If the week program timer function is enabled during installation, the option to activate or deactivate the week program will be available.

Note:| If the week program is activated (ON), the device will switch to the correct operation mode in accordance with the week program for the current time.
---|---

Edit functions

Change the pre-defined regulation values

The Room Controller Touch supports up to 4 different pre-defined regulation values (operation modes) which can be manually (re-)programmed via the screen.

The initial values used in control mode have to be programmed during installation. The Room Controller Touch uses these pre-defined regulation values for climate control.

(Optional) Edit the week program timer
The week program timer will only be available if it is enabled during installation.

If connected to an xComfort Bridge, the latter will manage the climate control function based on the week program that has been configured on that device. Any changes to the week program should therefore be made on the xComfort Bridge.

For each day of the week, the Room Controller Touch supports up to 6 manually (re-)programmable timeslots during which it will switch from one pre-defined regulation value (operation mode) to another.

(Optional) Edit/set the current time and date
The option to set the time and date manually is not available if the Room Controller Touch is connected to a xComfort Bridge.

| Attention: The time and date are used for the execution of the week program. The time and date need to be set correctly in order for the week program to function properly.
---|---

(Optional) Edit/set the monthly clock correction factor
If the internal clock of the Room Controller Touch is inaccurate, it is possible to configure the number of seconds by which the clock needs to be corrected each month (-99 to +99 seconds).

Note:| The accuracy of each clock may vary slightly, which may cause it to go out of sync with the current time. This will then cause the week program to switch to the desired setpoint temperature either too early or too late.
