NRFC4* is a parameterisable single-room controller with Modbus/RTU communication function. With its fixed applications, the NRFC4* is specially designed for use with fan coil units (FCU) and can be used as a zone controller in residential and commercial buildings in combination with a Modbus/RTU network. The single-room controller detects the room temperature with its integrated temperature sensor and compares it with the setpoint temperature. In the event of a deviation, the heating valve is opened in heating mode, and the cooling valve is opened for cooling mode. At the same time, the connected fan is activated depending on the control deviation and the set configuration. A connectable remote sensor can be used either for detecting the room temperature or as a changeover (C/O) sensor in 2- pipe systems. By means of parameterization, the digital input can be assigned the presence signal function, dew point monitor or detection of a fault message in combination with a filter.
NRFC413MF111
The NRFC413MF111 is suitable for use in 2-pipe systems in combination with a valve for dynamic hydronic balancing (PICV) and 0…10 V actuator control. If an analogue feedback signal is available on the actuator, this can be transmitted to the building management system via Modbus for monitoring. A 3-speed fan can be controlled via three integrated relays. In a 2-pipe configuration, summertime/wintertime changeover (auto-changeover) can be automatically detected if an NTC cable temperature sensor is installed on the supply pipe.
NRFC422MF111
The NRFC422MF111 is suitable for 2-pipe or 4-pipe systems. The valve actuator is controlled via 2- point control. A 3-speed fan can be controlled via three integrated relays. In a 2-pipe configuration, summertime/wintertime changeover (auto-changeover) can be automatically detected if an NTC cable temperature sensor is installed on the supply pipe. The configuration for the underfloor heating is 2-step heating. In wintertime mode, the valve for the underfloor heating is activated in the first step. The second step is activated when the temperature difference between the setpoint and the room temperature is greater than the value of the intermediate step, which was set in the configuration. In the second step, the second valve opens and the fan starts. In summertime mode, the single-room controller operates as a 2-pipe system with a cooling register and a 3-speed fan. The valve for the underfloor heating is then not activated. In the configuration with an electrostatic filter (TiO2/ESP)1) this can be activated via the single-room controller. In this case, the digital input can be used to detect a fault in the air purifier
NRFC423MF111
In conjunction with a 3-speed fan, the NRFC423MF111 can be used in 2-pipe and 4-pipe systems with continuous valve actuators for heating and cooling. In a 2-pipe configuration, summertime/wintertime changeover (auto-changeover) can be automatically detected if an NTC cable temperature sensor is installed on the supply pipe.
NRFC424MF112
For fan coil units with EC motor2) the NRFC424MF112 provides a 0…10 V signal to control the motor. This can be limited by means of min. and max. parameters. A relay can be used to interrupt the supply voltage to the motor when the single-room controller is switched off. The single-room controller supports 2-pipe and 4-pipe applications with 2-point actuators as well as 2-pipe applications with 0…10 V actuators. In a 2-pipe configuration, summertime/wintertime changeover (auto-changeover) can be automatically detected if an NTC cable temperature sensor is installed on the supply pipe. The configuration for the underfloor heating is 2-step heating. In winter mode, the valve for the underfloor heating is activated in the first step. The second step is activated when the temperature difference between the setpoint and the room temperature is greater than the value of the intermediate step, which was set in the configuration. In the second step, the second valve opens and the fan starts. In summertime mode, the single-room controller operates as a 2-pipe system with a cooling register and a 3-speed fan. The valve for the underfloor heating is then not activated. In the configuration with an electrostatic filter (TiO2/ESP3), this can be activated via the single-room controller. In this case, the digital input can be used to detect a fault in the air purifier
Intended use
This product is only suitable for the purpose intended by the manufacturer, as described in the “Description of operation” section. All related product regulations must also be adhered to. Modifying or converting the product is not admissible. Only use this single-room controller as a control element. In cases where a failure or malfunction of the single-room controller could result in personal injury or damage to the controlled system or other property, additional precautions must be built into the system. Other devices such as monitoring or alarm systems or safety or limit controls that are intended to warn or protect against failure or malfunction of the single-room controller must be integrated into the system and maintained.
The NRFC4* is a single-room controller suitable for indoor installation. The most suitable place of installation is approx. 1.5 m above the floor and must be protected from direct sunlight, draughts and sources of heat or cold. The installation is carried out on recessed junction boxes with a minimum diameter of 60 mm.
Fitting and installation
The following conditions must be met or observed during the installation:
Special standards such as IEC/EN 61508, IEC/EN 61511, IEC/EN 61131-1 and -2 and similar were not taken into account. Local requirements regarding installation, usage, access, access rights, accident prevention, safety, dismantling and disposal must be taken into account. Furthermore, installation standards EN 50178, 50310, 50110, 50274, 61140 and similar must be observed. The communication wiring (RS‑485) must be isolated from current-carrying and live installations.
Note
Power supply
The device is suitable for operation at 100…240 V~.
Commissioning
All devices have the same number of buttons and operating logic
Button lock
To prevent unwanted or improper operation in public areas, the buttons can be disabled. The following button combinations can be disabled:
When a button lock is active, pressing the fan button for 5 seconds will temporarily unlock it. The button lock can be activated or deactivated via parameter input on the display or by setting a Modbus parameter.
Backlight
The NRFC4* has a backlight that makes the display easy to read. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed and switches off automatically after a parameterised time
Service parameters
To activate the service menu, when the NRFC4* is switched off, press the v and ▲ keys simultaneously for 5 seconds. The code 01 is displayed. Pressing the operating mode selector activates the next code. The parameter value can be set using the ▲ and ▼ keys. Set parameters are automatically adopted. The available parameters depend on the model installed (see parameter table).

Disposal
When disposing of the product, observe the currently applicable local laws. More information on materials can be found in the Declaration on materials and the environment for this product.
RS-485 bus wiring
The RS‑485 network for field bus protocols must be implemented as per ANSI/TIA/EIA-485-A [half duplex (A (D+)/ B (D−)), galvanically isolated (COM reference), network resistors with Pull-Up (PU), Pull-Down (PD), line-end resistors (EOL: End of Line Termination)]. The devices do not have internal terminating resistors. Therefore, a terminating resistor of 120 Ω (0.25 W) must be connected at the start and end of the bus line, parallel to the A (D+) / B (D−) data lines. It is recommended to use a shielded, twisted cable (1×2+1-wire, 2×2-wire) specifically for RS‑485. It is also possible to use JY( ST)Y cables taking into account the cable impedance of 100…120 Ω and sufficient diameter (0.8 mm or 0.5 mm2). The cable routing must be carried out in line topology. The cable shield of the entire bus line must be connected continuously, and connected to protective earth as directly as possible at one location. The shielding is to be earthed in the plant as follows:
