FCR230
Room controller for controlling fan-coil units
FCR-230 is a room controller intended for controlling fan-coil heaters/
coolers and thermal actuators or 3-point actuators. Installation is
directly on the wall or on an electrical connection box. The fan can be
set to one of three speeds.
FCR-230 has change-over function and can be used for 2-pipe or
4-pipe systems.
For integration into a system, FCR-230 has communication via
RS485 (Modbus, BACnet or EXOline). The device can be congured
using the application Regio tool (version 1.3-1-05 or later), which can
be downloaded from the Regin web site (www.regin.se).

Installation
Place the controller in a location that has a temperature representative for
the room. A suitable location is approx. 1.6 m above oor level in a place
with unobstructed air circulation.
Depress the locking tab in the upper edge of the controller with a
screwdriver. Carefully turn the screwdriver until the bottom plate and the
electronics unit are slightly separated (see gure 1). Then use the cutout
that becomes visible in the edge of the bottom plate to open the upper
edge completely (see gure 2). Do the same thing in the lower edge of the
controller.

Lift the electronics unit up from the bottom plate. The bottom plate with
terminals has a number of hole combinations. Select suitable holes and
fasten the bottom plate on the wall or connection box, so that the arrows
on the bottom plate point upwards. Do not tighten the screws too hard!
Note: FCR-230 does not indicate fan breakdown or overheating of the
heating coil. Therefore, all connections must be made externally. An
overheating protection or similar can be used to disconnect the supply
voltage.
Disconnection
FCR-230 should be connected to a switch or circuit breaker in the
building installation. This switch should be in close proximity to the
controller and within easy reach of the operator, and should be
marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.
Always use the circuit breaker to disconnect the controller from the
mains supply during maintenance of the fan-coil and actuators.
Settings
Control modes
FCR-230 can control heating and cooling in sequence or be set to
seasonal switching between heating and cooling (change-over, see
below).
Change-over function
FCR-230 has an input for change-over that automatically resets the
output DO4 to operate with heating or cooling function. When the con-
troller is used together with a 3-position actuator, output DO5 is also
a󰀨ected by the change-over function in accordance with the above. A
sensor of type PT1000 can be connected to the input and be mounted
so that it senses the temperature on the supply pipe to the coil.
When the temperature exceeds 28°C, the output function is set to
heating and when the temperature drops below 16°C, the output is
set to cooling. As an alternative, a potential-free contact can be used.
The input function can be set to NO/NC.
To ensure satisfactory functioning when using a sensor, the system
must have continuous primary circuit circulation. When the change-
over function is not used, the input must be left disconnected.
When using an electric heater and the change-over function is set to
heating, the sequence of operation for FCR-230 will be heating/heat-
ing and DO5 will be activated rst.
If a change-over sensor is not connected, the sequence will be heat-
ing/heating. If cooling is to be used in the sequence, parameter 2
(change-over mode) must be changed manually.
Operating mode
There are four di󰀨erent operating modes. Switching between these
modes is performed locally.
Comfort: is shown in the display. Heating and cooling have a
smaller neutral zone NZC. An occupancy detector can be connected
to the DI in order to select between Comfort and Economy. Switching
between Comfort/Economy and O󰀨 can also be done via the On/O󰀨
button. Comfort/Economy is selected via the parameter list.
