Notes

Security

CAUTION
National safety regulations
Failure to comply with national safety regulations may result in personal injury and property damage

• Observe any national provisions and comply with the appropriate safety regulations.

Mounting and installation

Mounting

• The device is suitable for mounting on a recessed square conduit box with 60.3 mm fixing centers.
• 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.
• Avoid unheated (uncooled) building area such as outside walls.
• Seal the conduit box or the installation tube if any, as air currents can affect sensor readings.
• Adhere to allowed ambient conditions.

WARNING
Device damage
Carefully read all wiring diagrams prior to installation to avoid damage to the device caused by incorrect wiring of high or low voltages.

See Mounting Instructions A6V13989826 (RDF400BN), A6V12905642 (RDF440BN) or A6V14064629 (RDF460BN) enclosed with the thermostat.

Wiring

WARNING
Wire, protect and earth in compliance with local regulations. Risk of fire and injury due to short-circuits!

• Adapt the line diameters as per local regulations to the rated value of the installed overcurrent protection device.
• The power supply line (AC 100…230 V or AC 24 V) must have an external circuit breaker with a rated current of no more than 10 A.
• Disconnect from supply before removing the device from its mounting plate.
• Isolate the cables of all SELV terminals for AC 100…230 V, e.g., BACnet/Modbus communication input BN+, BN- and REF for AC 100…230 V.
• Nominal power of electrical heater needs to be lower than 0.8 kW, additional security element must be installed. (RDF400BN, RDF460BN)

Commissioning
After first power-up, all LCD segments light up for about 3 seconds. Afterwards, the device enters parameter setting mode and is ready for commissioning by qualified HVAC staff. When commissioning is finished and user exits parameter setting mode, the device restarts and is ready for normal operation.
The control parameters of device can be adjusted to ensure optimum performance of the entire system (see Control parameters in Basic documentation).

Applications and settings
The room thermostats are delivered with a fixed set of applications and related parameters. Select and activate the relevant application and settings during commissioning using one of the following tools:

• Local HMI
• BACnet/Modbus commissioning tool
• Siemens smartphone app Quick Config

Commissioning via smartphone application Quick Config
The setting via the smartphone application Quick Config is used to set the application and parameters settings of the thermostat.
This tool allows for wireless setting of the thermostat with smartphone and read/write parameters.
The commissioning tool works directly after users scan either the antenna area of the thermostat or the NFC area on the individual package box.

NOTICE! Before scanning, users need make sure smartphone NFC area to ensure communication between smartphone and thermostat.
In addition, users can:

• Scan the antenna area without powering on the thermostat.
• Scan the NFC area without unpacking the thermostat from the individual box.

Notes
The commissioning via smartphone application Quick Config can be disabled via parameters to avoid unexpected changes of the thermostat.

Control sequence
Set the control sequence via parameter P02 depending on the application. Factory setting:

Surge protection at power-up
When the thermostats are powered, the control outputs start at random to protect the electric system against overload. It takes up to 3 seconds for all thermostat outputs to function properly.

• Measured value adjustment
  The device has an internal sensor or external sensor connected via X1 for accurate temperature display. If the temperature reading is affected by the installation location, adjust the sensor via parameter P13 to correct the readings.

• Setpoint and range limitation
  For comfort and to save energy, we suggest to review all setpoint related parameters and adapt them as needed.

• MAC address (BACnet)
  The MAC address is assigned to “4” (factory setting). If necessary, engineer/installer can change the address value using the parameter P93.

• Device address (Modbus)
  The device address is assigned to “1” (factory setting). If necessary, engineer/installer can change the address value using the parameter P93.

• Baud rate
  The Baud rate is selectable. Five options, auto, 9600 bps, 19200 bps, 38400 bps and 76800 bps, are available for the BACnet network (38400 bps is default). Four options, auto, 9600 bps, 19200 bps and 38400 bps, are available for the Modbus network (19200 bps is default).

• Modbus data frame format
  Modbus data frame format can be set to 1 = 1/8/E/1, 2 = 1/8/O/1, 3 = 1/8/N/1 or 4 = 1/8/N/2 (1/8/E/1 is default).
