1.4       Target audience, prerequisites

                       This document assumes that users of the RDF880KN..room thermostats are
                       familiar with the ETS tools and can use them.
                       It is also assumed that these users are aware of the specific conditions associated
                       with KNX.
                       In most countries, specific KNX know-how is conveyed through training centers
                       certified by the KNX Association (see www.knx.org/).
                       For reference documentation, see section 1.2.

                       1.5       Conventions used in this document

                       Throughout this document, parameters are specified as P[parameter number].
                       For example, P30.

                       1.6       Glossary

                       The inputs, outputs and parameters of an application can be influenced in various
                       ways. These are identified by the following symbols in this document:

         ETS           Parameters identified by this symbol are set using ETS.

STOP      Note!        The setting of RDF880KN... parameters is only supported by the following
                       tool versions:
                          – ETS4 or higher

                       Inputs and outputs identified by this symbol communicate with other KNX devices.
                       They are called communication objects (CO).
                       The communication objects of the RDF880KN… room thermostats work in S-Mode
                       mainly. These objects are described accordingly.

                       A list of the parameters is shown in section 3.13.

3.        Functions
                       3.1       Room temperature control

General note:          Information for setting the control parameters (e.g. P02) is described in
Parameters             section 3.13.

Room temperature       The thermostat acquires the room temperature using its built-in sensor, external
control                room temperature sensor (QAA32), or external return air temperature sensor
                       (QAH11.1), and maintains the setpoint by delivering actuator control commands to
                       the heating equipment. The following control outputs are available:
                       • SPDT relay On/Off control with free potential free input AC 24…230 V

                       The switching differential or proportional band is 1 K for heating mode (adjustable
                       via P30).
                       In addition, VRF HMI can be used for sending setpoint adjustment commands to
                       corresponding indoor VRF unit via a third party KNX/VRF gateway and the
                       temperature control is determined by the values between the room temperature
                       detected by VRF indoor unit and temperature setpoint received from RDF880KN…

Display                Use  and  to select and display either the acquired room temperature or
                       relative humidity. Both values are obtained via built-in sensors. There is no
                       humidity control function in the unit. The relative humidity value is displayed to
                       advise the users to switch the VRF operating mode to Dehumidification (if
                       available) to maintain a comfort environment.

                       The temperature display can be set to acquire room temperature or the Comfort
                       setpoint, which is selected via P06. The factory setting displays the current room
                       temperature and relative humidity.

                       Use P05 and P23 to calibrate the room temperature value in degree Celsius °C
                       and the relative humidity value in % respectively while  F is not available in this
                       unit.

                       The acquired room temperature (built-in or external sensor) is also available as
                       information on the bus.

                       If the outdoor temperature is available via KNX bus, then use  and  to select
                       the outdoor temperature. The temperature value is a display-only information.

3.2       Operating modes

                       The thermostat's operating modes can be influenced in different ways (see below).
                       Specific heating and cooling setpoints are assigned to each operating mode.

Comfort and Economy    In Comfort or Economy mode, the Screen Saver mode normally displays the room
modes                  temperate as follows:

                       When users touch the temperature display, the normal display shows (see the
                       figure on the left side with both UFH and VRF applications below).

                       Touch the    icon to display the current VRF operating mode. Use +/– to change
                       the VRF operating mode.

                       If P02 = 2, the following operating mode for UFH can be selected via  or  :
                       Comfort (ON), Economy (ECO)

Smart Infrastructure                                                                           2021-03-22
Protection mode                 Under the normal display (see above section), press       and use +/– to select
                                OFF to turn off the unit. In Protection mode, the Screen Saver mode displays OFF:

                                When users touch OFF, the thermostat changes to ON first and then returns to
                                Comfort or Economy mode. Then it displays the setpoint adjustment screen.

                                Touch +/– to adjust the room temperature setpoint.

                       Notes:   •     In Economy mode, the       icon does not display since the setpoint is not
                                      adjustable.
                                •     In Protection mode, both the     and     icons do not display since both
                                      setpoint and fan speed are not adjustable.

                                                                                                              15 / 60

Smart Infrastructure                                                                                      2021-03-22
The thermostat sends the effective room operating mode on the bus.

   Room operating mode:   The following operating modes are available for UFH application only. For VRF
   State                  HMI, ON and OFF are used instead of Comfort and Protection modes.

Auto Timer                In Auto Timer mode, the operating mode is set using the bus only.
                          If no time scheduler is present, Auto Timer is replaced by Comfort.

                          Note that for this unit, the use of Auto Timer mode is related to UFH application
                          mostly.

Comfort                   In Comfort mode, the thermostat maintains the Comfort setpoint.
                          This setpoint can be defined using P08, P09 and P10. It also can be locally
                          adjusted using +/– after touching the    icon or using the bus. The setpoint in
                          Comfort mode is shared by both UFH and VRF applications.
                          In Comfort mode, touch the      icon to set the fan speed of the VRF indoor unit to
                          either automatic (A - AUTO) or manual fan speed (1/2/3).

Economy                   In Economy mode, the UFH and VRF applications work differently.

                          The thermostat switches to Economy mode when users touch the         icon and use
                           or  to select ON (Comfort) or ECO mode (available if P02 is set to 2).

                          For UFH, when ECO mode is selected, a fixed heating setpoint is used for the
                          heating control to reduce energy consumption when the area is unoccupied or
                          during sleeping time. The heating setpoint is defined via P11.

                          For VRF, when ECO mode is selected, the low power mode is used. Therefore,
                          ECO mode is not recommended for VRF system with multiple indoor units.
                          Normally, a master VRF room unit in the system is used to select the ECO mode
                          for all indoor units connected to the same system. i.e. others are slave room units
                          and not able to select ECO mode.

                          Due to the complexity of ECO mode, it is not recommended to enable ECO mode
                          (i.e. P02 = 2) when both VRF and UFH applications run at the same time in one
                          RDF880KN.. unit. (see Dip switch settings in Functions)

Protection             The thermostat switches to Protection mode by touching the           icon and using +/-
                         to select OFF.

                         For UFH application, OFF means frost protection (factory setting 8 °C, can be
                         disabled or changed via P65). For VRF application, it means turning off the indoor
                         unit.

                         If RDF880KN.. is set with both UFH and VRF applications via DIP switch, users
                         can press      icon once and use +/- to select:

                         1. to turn on UFH (       ) application only
                         2. to turn on VRF (                          ) application only
                         3. to turn on both UFH (      ) and VRF (                         ) applications
                         4. OFF to turn off both applications

Delay Off Timer          When P28 = ON (enable), the symbol             appears next to the     icon.

                         Press      icon twice and use +/- to set the delay-off time for the unit. Then, press
                         the hour location (i.e. x h) to confirm the required time and return to the normal
                         display mode. The Delay Off Timer mode icon is displayed when the count-down
                         starts.

                         To cancel, set the delay-off timer to 0 h.

                                                                                                            17 / 60

3.3          Room temperature setpoints
                                       3.3.1    Description

Setpoint mode                     Touch the     icon when it is available on the display and press +/– to adjust the
                                  desired room temperature setpoint.

   Comfort mode                   The factory setting for the Comfort basic setpoint is 21 °C. It can be changed in the
                                  thermostat’s EEPROM using P08 or the bus with the communication object
                                  "Comfort basic setpoint". The last option selected is always used.
                                  The Comfort setpoint can be adjusted using +/–, or the bus from a remote device
                                  such as a touch panel, or operating unit. The last option selected is always used.
                                  The same Comfort setpoint is shared by both VRF HMI and UFH applications for
                                  control purpose.
Temporary setpoint                If the "Temporary setpoint" function is enabled using P69, the Comfort setpoint is
                                  set back to the Comfort basic setpoint stored in P08 when the operating mode
                                  changes. This function works for UFH application only.
Setpoint limitation               For comfort or energy saving purposes, the setpoint setting range can be limited to
                                  a minimum (P09) and maximum (P10).

P09 < P10                         •    If the minimum limit P09 is set lower than the maximum limit P10, heating and
(Comfort concept)                      cooling setpoints can be adjustable between these two limits. Note that for
                                       UFH application, only heating setpoint is relevant.

                                  •    The customer adjusts the desired setpoint and the thermostat controls the
                                       room temperature accordingly.
                       Example:                                                 Cooling setpoint adjustable: 18…25 °C
                                                                                Heating setpoint adjustable: 18…25 °C
                                      5°C        18°C     25°C         40°C
                                                  P09      P10                  Note that cooling setpoint applied to
                                                                                VRF only.

Economy mode                      Use P11 to adjust the Economy mode heating setpoint for UFH application.
                                  The heating setpoint is factory-set to 15 °C.

Protection mode                   Use P65 to adjust the Protection mode heating setpoint for UFH application.
                                  The heating setpoint is factory-set to 8 °C (frost protection) and to OFF for cooling.

               Caution            If a setpoint (Economy or Protection) is set to OFF, the UFH application in the room
                                  thermostat does not control the room temperature in heating mode. This means
                                  that there is no protective heating function and there exists a risk of frost in heating
                                  mode!
                                  The Economy setpoints are accessible at the Service level (P11) or via tools (ACS
                                  or ETS). The Protection setpoints are accessible at the Expert level (P65).

                             overwritten by the Comfort setpoints of the room group (e.g. every 15 minutes).

                       On the RMB795B central control unit (software version 2.0 or higher), you can
                       define the conditions required for the unit to forward the setpoints:
                       • Always (every 15 minutes)
                       • Not in Comfort mode

     Note: The VRF outdoor unit and KNX power supply unit are not shown in the diagram.

     Since all VRF brands have their own communication protocols between their own remote control unit (RCU) and VRF
     equipment (e.g. indoor or outdoor units), RDF880KN... can send all standard KNX commands (S-Mode KNX objects) via
     the KNX bus to a third party KNX/VRF gateway (as a protocol converter) and then communicate indirectly with the VRF
     indoor or outdoor units. Effectively, it works similarly like a RCU of a VRF system.

3.5        Additional functions

External/return air            The thermostat acquires the room temperature through its built-in sensor, external
temperature sensor             room temperature sensor (QAA32), or external return air temperature sensor
                               (QAH11.1) connected to multifunctional input X1 or X2. Input X1 or X2 must be
                               configured accordingly. See section 3.9.

Minimum output                 Limit the On/Off switching cycle to protect the HVAC equipment (e.g. a
ON-time/OFF-time               compressor) and to reduce wear and tear. The minimum output ON-time and OFF-
                               time for 2-position control output can be adjusted from 1 to 20 minutes using P48
                               and P49.

                               This function applies to UFH only and the factory setting is 1 minute.

                               Re-adjusting the setpoint or heating/cooling mode changeover immediately results
                               in calculation of the output state; the outputs may not hold the minimum 1-minute
                               On/Off time.

                               If P48 or P49 is set to above 1 minute, the minimum On/Off time for the control
                               output is maintained as set, even if the setpoint or changeover mode is readjusted.

Floor temperature              The floor temperature should be limited for two reasons: Comfort and protection of
limitation function            the floor.

                               The floor temperature sensor, connected to multifunctional input X1 or X2, acquires
                               the floor temperature. If it exceeds the parameterized limit (P51), the heating valve
                               is fully closed until the floor temperature drops to a level 2 K below the
                               parameterized limit.

                               Factory setting of this function is “OFF” (disabled).
                               Input X1 or X2 must be configured accordingly (P38 or P40 = 1).
                               See section 3.9.

3.7       Control outputs (UFH only)

Overview of control    Outputs Q14 and Q12 deliver the Normal Open (NO) and Normal Closed (NC)
outputs                commands to the 2-position valve.
Heating output
                       Both outputs are potential-free, depending on the Q11 input. Q11 can accept AC
control signal
                       24…230 V input voltage.
(2-position)
                       Output Q14 (NO) will be closed or output Q12 (NC) will be opened when the
                       acquired room temperature is below its setpoint.
                       Q11 and Q14, or Q11 and Q12 can be used as a relay contact for switching the
                       boiler on and off.

3.8        Fan control via VRF HMI only

                       The fan operates in automatic mode or at the selected speed in manual mode.

                       The number of manual fan speed stage depends on the P53 and its factory setting
                       is 3-speed. For some VRF indoor units, they can have 5-speed or even 7-speed
                       fan stage in manual mode.

                       Touch the      icon when available and use +/– to adjust the fan speed.

                       Both the      and      icons display when manual fan speed is selected.

                       Some VRF indoor units provides a swing function. The RDF880KN.. unit can fulfill
                       this special need via P54 and it can provide max.10 positions.

                       Normally, if VRF indoor unit does not require swing function, P54 = 0. However,
                       when P54 ≠ 0, the swing function is shown on the LCD display below:

                       If A (Auto) is selected, the VRF indoor unit swings up to the maximum position set
                       via P54. Otherwise, use + or – to select a fixed position.

                       e.g. if P54 = 5, the available positions are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

                                                                                                       31 / 60

                                 The thermostat has two multifunctional inputs X1 and X2. An NTC type sensor,
                                 such as the QAH11.1 (AI, analog input) or a switch (DI, digital input) can be
                                 connected to the input terminals. The functionality of the inputs can be configured
                                 using P38 or P39 for X1 and P40 or P41 for X2.

                                 The current temperature or the state of inputs X1 or X2 is available on bus for

3.10 Handling faults

Room temperature out     When the room temperature is out of the measuring range (that is, above 49 °C or
of range                 below 0 °C), the limiting temperature flashes.
                         In addition, the heating output is activated if the current setpoint is not set to "OFF",
                         the thermostat is in heating mode and the temperature is below 0 °C.
                         For all other cases, no output is activated.
                         The thermostat resumes Comfort mode after the temperature returns to the
                         measuring range.

Fault “Er1” on display   If the built-in sensor fails and no external sensor is connected, the thermostat
                         displays error message Er1. This means that the thermostat must be replaced if
                         the room temperature is acquired with the built-in sensor.

                         For error status messages on the bus, see section 3.11.4.

Power failure            In the event of a power failure, all working conditions (operating mode, setpoint, fan
                         speed, and all control parameter settings) are stored without time limitation.
                         When power returns, the thermostat reloads this data and continues to work in the
                         same conditions as before.

3.11 KNX communications

                       The RDF880KN..KNX room thermostats support KNX S-Mode.
                       S-Mode         Standard mode; engineering using group addresses.
                          3.11.1 S-Mode

                       This mode corresponds to KNX communications. Connections are established via
                       ETS by assigning communication objects to group addresses.

                          3.11.2 Send heartbeat and receive timeout

                       In a KNX network, S-Mode communication objects can be exchanged between
                       individual devices. The Receive timeout defines the period of time within which all
                       the communication objects requested from a device is received at least once. If a
                       communication object is not received within this period, a predefined value is used.
                       Similarly, the Send heartbeat defines the period of time within which all the commu-
                       nication objects requested must be transmitted at least once.

S-Mode                 Fixed times are specified as follows:
                       • Receive timeout:       31 minutes
                       • Send heartbeat:        15 minutes

                         Room operating mode:
                                                    Receive             31                Comfort

                          3.11.3 Startup

Startup delay          After a reset, it takes approximately 5 minutes for all the connected room
                       thermostats to restart randomly. The delay (TWaitDevice) is determined by the
                       thermostat's device address. This avoids overloading the mains power supply and
                       reduces loads of KNX bus. i.e. not all thermostats transmit data at the same time.

                                                                                                       35 / 60

3.11.4 Fault function on KNX

                                 If a fault occurs (e.g. digital fault input, dew point, or communication configuration)
                                 then a fault signal is sent via the bus.
                                 An RDF880KN.. room thermostat listens on the bus and sends its fault signal when
                                 the fault has the highest alarm priority. This ensures that the management station
                                 (BACS) does not miss any alarms.
                                 If several alarms occur at the same time, the alarm with the highest priority is
                                 displayed first and is sent via the bus.

                                 Fault transmission is different in S-Mode:

                                       This error will not be sent via the bus (because there is either no bus, not sufficient bus power
                                       supply, the bus is overloaded or the bus signal is distorted).

Priority of alarms               • Priority order is 1…4.
                                 • External faults 3 and 4: If faults are active, AL1 and AL2 display alternately.
                                   Only the fault with the highest priority will be sent via the bus.

                                 A supervisory alarm system may command the thermostat to stop sending fault
                                 signals to the bus using the communication object "Fault transmission"
Fault transmission               (disable/enable).
                                 This has no impact on the local display of faults.
                                 After a timeout of 48 hours, the forwarding of fault signals will automatically be
                                 enabled again.
