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:
Application | Factory setting (P02) |
---|---|
2-pipe | 2 = Cooling only |
4-pipe | 5 = Heating and cooling |
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).

packaging, and, where applicable, any batteries may not be disposed of as
domestic waste. Delete all personal data and dispose of the item(s) at
separate collection and recycling facilities in accordance with local and
