Page 6: Temperature measurement has a measurable range of 0 – 40 °C / 32 – 99 °F and a controllable range of 5 – 35 °C / 40 – 95 °F. The resolution is 0.5°C / 1°F. For a 2-pipe system, a remote water temperature sensor must be present when in 2H or 2P mode. If the sensor is not connected or shorted, the thermostat will display E1 and turn off heat/cool outputs. When the temperature is below 0°C / 32°F, the display shows LO, and when above 40°C / 99°F, it shows HI. The power supply is 24VAC ± 20%, with a relay contact voltage of 24VAC 50/60 Hz and a maximum current of 1A. The sensing element is a 10K NTC Type 2 thermistor. The operating humidity is 5 – 95% R.H. non-condensing. The drain pan indicator activates when a +24VAC signal is triggered at the DP terminal, turning the fan off and closing all water valves. The defrost indicator activates when the room temperature is below 5 °C / 41 °F or the remote water temperature sensor is below 1 °C / 34 °F. In a 2-pipe system, the valve output should be on to keep water flowing.
Page 7: Operating mode functionality There are 4 operating modes: Off mode: Heat/Cool/Fan outputs are always OFF. Heat mode: Heat turns ON when room temperature is lower than setting temperature. Heating protocol for all Unilux fan coil models without auxiliary heat includes specific setpoints and outputs. Heating protocol for Unilux fan coil units with auxiliary heat includes specific setpoints and outputs. When call for heat and remote temperature is below 29.5°C/85°F, the hot water valve does not open, and auxiliary heat turns ON. There will be a 5 minute delay in the electric heater activating to allow the system to purge. When call for heat and remote temperature is higher than or equal to 29.5°C/85°F, auxiliary heat does not turn on, and the hot water valve opens.
Page 8: Cool mode activates when the room temperature exceeds the set temperature. The cooling protocol for Unilux fan coil units includes specific setpoints and output controls. In auto mode, the output switches on or off based on both heat and cool setpoints, which must have a 2°C / 4°F dead band. There is a minimum 4-minute switching off time when transitioning between heat and cool modes. The heat icon flashes on the thermostat in heat mode, while the cool icon flashes in cool mode. For a 2-pipe fan coil system, a remote water temperature sensor is required. Heat control is activated when the remote temperature exceeds 29.5°C / 85°F, and cool control is activated when it drops below 18.5°C / 65°F. In a 4-pipe fan coil system, control switches to heat when the room temperature is below the heat setpoint and to cool when it is above the cool setpoint. The auto protocol for Unilux fan coil models without auxiliary heat includes specific outputs for heat and cool setpoints. The document outlines the necessary spans for temperature control in both modes.
Page 9: Auto protocol for Unilux fan coil units with auxiliary heat includes settings for heat setpoint, cool setpoint, and deadband. Auxiliary heat activation has specific turn-on and turn-off procedures. There is a 5-minute delay in the electric heater activating to allow the system to purge. Fan speed can be adjusted directly at the home screen. Pressing the [FAN] button allows selection of fan speed: Low, Med, High, or Auto. In Auto Fan Speed mode, if there is no heat or cool demand, the fan speed remains at Low. Fan output is influenced by the difference between room temperature and setting temperature.
