Use

The RDE100.. is used to control the room temperature in heating systems.

Typical applications:

  • Apartments
  • Commercial spaces
  • Schools

For the control of the following pieces of equipment:

  • Thermal valves or zone valves
  • Gas or oil boilers
  • Fans
  • Pumps
  • Floor Heating

Functions

  • Room temperature control via built-in sensor or external input
  • Selection of operating mode with operating mode touch key
  • Setting auto time switch (individual day, 7 days or 5-2 day)
  • Display of current room temperature or setpoint in C or F
  • Touch key lock (manually)
  • Setpoint lock
  • Periodic pump run
  • Optimum start/stop
  • Comfort temperature limitation by Economy setpoint locked
  • Reloading factory settings for commissioning and control parameters
  • One multifunctional input (RDE100.1 only) freely selectable for:
    • Floor Heating temperature limitation function
    • Operating mode switchover contact (keycard, window contact, etc.)

Temperature control
RDE100.. comprises of both 2-position and TPI temperature controls, which can be configured by parameter P78 (Control behavior). 2-position control algorithm is to switch on and off the heating system within a switching differential according to a comparison between the setpoint setting and the measured room temperature.

  • T Room temperature
  • SD Switching differential
  • W Room temperature setpoint
  • Q14 Output signal for heating

TPI (Time Proportional Integral) control algorithm is to periodically switch on and off the heating system. The period time and pulse length of the control signal (PWM) are determined by the setpoint and the measured room temperature

Heating mode

  • T Room temperature
  • Y Output signal for heating (PWM)
  • W Room temperature setpoint
  • YHC Control command “Valve”
  • XpH Proportional band “Heating”

Floor heating limitation function (RDE100.1 only)
The factory setting for this function is Off (disabled) and must be set to “On” if floor heating is used. The external floor temperature sensor is connected to input X1, and acquires the floor temperature. If the floor temperature exceeds the parameterized temperature limit xx ºC (P14 = 1, P15 = 1, P16 = xx ºC), the heating valve is fully closed until the floor temperature returns to a level below the parameterized limit. Typical application is rooms (dry floor). If the application does not require floor heating temperature limitation but instead uses the external sensor as a source for both room temperature display and control, the parameters will have to be set as follows: P14 = 1, P15 = 0. A typical application is a bathroom (wet floor) where a constant floor temperature is required. It is not recommended to have only an internal built-in room sensor for floor heating since there is a potential risk of overheating.

Typical application:
Maximum temperature limitation for underfloor heating systems

Operating mode switchover function
This function allows keycard application, please refer to the section “Operating notes, Economy mode”.

Periodic pump run function
Can only be used when the circulating pump or valve is controlled! This function protects the pump or valve against seizing during longer off periods. Periodic pump run is activated for 3 minutes every 24 hours at 12:00.

Parameter Pump status
P12 = 0 (Default) Pump runoff
P12 = 1 Pump run on

Optimum start control
The purpose of optimum start control is to reach a temperature level 0.25 K below the Comfort setpoint when occupancy according to the time program starts in Auto timer mode. For that purpose, the heating circuit must be switched on at an earlier point in time. The extent of forward shift depends primarily on the outside temperature. The maximum forward shift on time can be adjusted by parameter P89. A Forward shift on maximum “0” means the function is disabled.

Parameter Range Factory setting
Forward shift on max (P89) 0, 0.5,…24 h 0

Optimum stop control
Optimum stop control switches off the heating circuit at the earliest possible point in time so that the room temperature will lay 0.5 K below the Comfort setpoint when the time switch changes from Comfort mode to Economy mode in Auto timer mode. The early shut down maximum time can be adjusted by parameter P90. Early shut down maximum “0” means the function is disabled.

Control behavior P78

The new control algorithm of RDE100.. family offers a choice of control actions that can be configured via parameter P78. This means that optimum control can be selected for every type of application (factory setting “TPI slow”).

2-position, 1 K 2-Position controller with 1 [K] switching hysteresis

2-position, 0.3 K

  • 2-Position controller with 0.3 [K] switching hysteresis.
  • For general control situations. Provides a better comfort than 1 [K] switching hysteresis.
  • Can also be used for difficult control situations

TPI slow
TPI control behavior for slow heating systems that require longer minimum On times and limited numbers of switching cycles per hour.

Typical applications:

  • Floor heating systems, oil-fired boilers
  • Can also be used for all other types of heating applications. (Alternative setting)
Minimum switching on/off time > 4 minutes
Average period time Approximately 20 minutes

TPI medium
TPI control behavior for general heating applications such as radiator systems, thermal actuators, …

Minimum switching on / off time > 1 minute
Average period time Approximately 20-25 minutes

TPI fast
TPI control behavior for fast heating systems that tolerate a high number of switching cycles. Typical applications: electric heaters, gas boilers, fast thermal actuators

Minimum switching on/off time > 1 minute
Average period time Approximately 10 minutes

Do not use TPI fast for oil boilers or electro-mechanical actuators

Mounting and installation notes

Do not mount the thermostat in niches or bookshelves, not behind curtains, not above or near heat sources, and not exposed to direct solar radiation. Mount about 1.5 m above the floor

Mounting Mount the thermostat in a clean and dry location without direct airflow from a heating/cooling equipment, and not exposed to drip or splash water

Note: When RDE100.. is equipped with either China 86 conduit box or BS4662 UK conduit box, ARG70.5 adapter plate is suggested to provide a better fitting installation.

Wiring See Mounting Instructions M1429 enclosed with the thermostat

  • Ensure that wiring, protection and earthing comply with local regulations
  • Correctly size the cables to the thermostat and the valve actuators
  • Use only valve actuators rated for AC 24…230 V
    Warning!
    No internal line protection for supply lines to external consumers. 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 AC 230 V mains supply line must have a circuit breaker with a rated current of no more than 10 A
  • Disconnect from power supply before removing the unit from its mounting plate
  • External Inputs X1, may carry mains potential. Sensor cables or window contact must carefully install before powering up the thermostat

Commissioning notes

Commissioning
After power is applied, the thermostat carries out a reset during which all LCD segments flash, indicating that the reset was made correctly. After the reset, the thermostat is ready for commissioning by qualified HVAC personnel. The control parameters of the thermostat can be set to ensure optimum performance of the entire system. Please refer to Operating Instructions CB1B1422, section “Do you want to change parameters?”.

Sensor calibration
If the temperature on the display does not agree with the room temperature effectively measured, the temperature sensor can be recalibrated. For that purpose, adjust parameter P04.

Setpoint lock
We recommend reviewing the setpoint lock (for public areas) in parameters P06 and P08 and changing them as needed. If the Economy setpoint is locked then the Comfort temperature setpoint can not be set lower than the locked Economy setpoint.

Touchpad scanning rate

Since the thermostat uses touch technology and to minimize battery power consumption, a parameter P21 (adjustable from 0.25 to 1.5 seconds) is implemented for the user to adjust. This function is only valid for the battery-powered version and the default value is 1 second. This means that when, for a certain time, the user does not touch the touchpad, the unit operates in power saving mode and the touchpad is running at a scanning rate of 1 second. (From the calculation – assuming 4 operations per day on the thermostat, the estimated 1-second scanning rate results in a battery life of 1 year. If the user increases the scanning rate, the battery’s life is extended.)

X1 external input
Different parameter setting of X1 external input is described below: Parameter P14=0 (No Input) is a default setting, which provides no external input function.

Digital input
An external contact can switch the thermostat from any operating mode to Economy.

  • Typical applications: Window contact
  • Key card application

Set parameter P14 = 2 (X1 External input = Digital Input) and adapt parameter P17 (Window contact = Normally Open / Closed) accordingly. External sensor (used for controlling) The measured external sensor temperature is displayed and used for calculating heating demand instead of temperature detected by thermostat built-in internal sensor. In case of problems with the external sensor, the thermostat uses the internal sensor instead.

Typical applications: External room temperature sensor Floor heating temperature control bath room Setting parameter P14 = 1 (X1 External input = External Sensor) and parameter
P15 = 0 (Temperature limitation = Off)

Notes for floor heating temperature control:

  • External safety thermostat is needed to prevent overheating of certain floor heating systems!
  • Use of “Comfort setpoint lock” function (Parameter P06) is recommended.

External sensor for Floor heating application with temperature limitation
Refer to Floor Heating application section above when setting parameter P14 = 1 (X1 External input = External Sensor) and parameter P15 = 1 (Temperature limitation = On). Parameter P16 now allows to limit the maximum temperature.

Change of batteries (only with battery-powered version RDE100.1)
If the battery symbol appears, the batteries are almost exhausted and should be replaced. Use alkaline batteries type AAA.

Operating notes

The RDE100.. provides Comfort, Economy, Auto timer and Protection mode. The difference between Comfort and Economy modes is only the room temperature setpoint. The changeover between Comfort, Economy, and Protection mode is made either automatically by the auto time switch or by pressing touch key mode

Comfort mode
When Comfort mode is activated, symbol appears on the display. The setpoint (20 ºC) can be readjusted by pressing touch keys + and –.

Economy mode
When Economy mode is activated, symbol appears on the display. The setpoint (16 ºC) can be readjusted by pressing touch keys + and –. In RDE100.1, a window contact feature is that a user can connect a window contact to the input X1, . Depending on whether the window contact is configured to Normally Open or Normally Close (Parameter P14 = 2, Parameter P17 = 0 or 1), a change in this status will automatically switch the thermostat from any modes to Economy mode. This feature is good for public areas. The factory setting for this function is Off (disabled).

Protection mode

If the temperature falls below 5 ºC, the unit automatically activates the heating output. The symbol appears only, if the icon is enabled via parameter settings

Time switch
When Auto timer mode is enabled, the changeover between the operating modes (Comfort and Economy mode) will take place automatically. There are three options for time switch setting: individual day, 7 day or 5-2 day. You can select Comfort or Economy mode in every 15 minutes interval of the day. The 0:00 to 24:00 hour time bar will allow you to set the mode throughout the selected day(s).

Default value Day/s Comfort mode Economy mode
Mo (1) – Fr (5) 6:00 – 8:00 hr

17:00 – 22:00 hr

22:00 – 6:00 hr
