Each decentralised ventilation unit has its own controller. The controller controls all functions that are necessary for operation, e.g. providing the control signal for fans and actuators. With dedicated software and hardware the controller can be configured as a master controller; one master controller is required for each room. Additional inputs and interfaces allow for the connection of components that are required for room control. The RTC interface on the master PCB allows for adding a timer; the Modbus-RTU, Modbus/TCP, BACnet/MS/TP or BACnet/IP interface allows for establishing a connection to BACS (by others). Also, TROX X-TAIRMINAL is a powerful visualisation tool.

Specification text

FSL-CONTROL III is a stand-alone single room control system with a simple timer. Optional expansions, e.g. connection to the BACS with Modbus TCP/RTU, humidity sensors, return temperature sensors, electric valve actuators or pressure-independent control valves, are part of the supply package, but will have to replace the standard components in the following description. A room temperature signal is also required. Various room control panels and sensors are available to provide this signal. Suitable optional equipment is described in the appendix to the following standard equipment for stand-alone operation. We recommend commissioning by our technical service.

General information

Use only cables that are designed for the supply voltage for which they will be used. The length and cross section as well as any contact resistance may increase voltage losses. The power rating of each decentralised ventilation unit in accordance with the following table must also be considered.

A skilled qualified electrician has to select the correct cable types and sizes. This job must only be carried out by specialist electrical companies. The power ratings are listed below.
