Fig. 3-2 Wiring of NEA H and NEA HT room controllers to NEA H 230 V / 24 V wiring centre Comment: The connection of the reduced mode signal (clock symbol) is optional. The NEA wiring centre provides 2 time switch signals (A and B). Each controller can be assigned to one of the time switch signals.
230V 24V 230V 24V optional Fig. 3-3 Wiring of NEA H and NEA HT room controller without use of wiring centre Note: The signal for reduced mode has to be potential L (230V-systems) or L1 (24V-systems). The signal may be generated by a timer or by a switching contact (common or for each separate controller).
Blocking of cooling mode is done by parameter PE9. It is not provided to connect NEA H or NEA HT room controllers to a NEA HC 24V wiring centre. These controllers are only designed for installations with solely heating mode and would have to be blocked in cooling mode by additional actions.

SERVICE-MANUAL NEA ROOM CONTROLLER 230V / 24V Use of dew point monitors Dew point monitors must be fixed at the coldest point of the flow pipe. Ensure that the dew point monitor (DPM) is in sufficient contact with the ambient air.
Please note that it is absolutely required to connect terminals 2 and 5 of NEA timer to the wiring centre in the shown way! When terminals 3 and 6 of NEA timer are used, programming of the timer has to be done in such a way, that time periods with normal mode are ON, the time periods with reduced mode are OFF.
Parameterisation and special functions Introduction All parameters of the NEA room controllers are preset with values which are suitable for most applications. If necessary to customise the parameterisation, please proceed carefully and note down all changes. You also have the possibility to reset all parameters and settings back to the factory settings by using parameter PE25.

Monitoring of floor temperature characterises the control behaviour of a proportional controller. Floor temperature monitoring by NEA HCT is done by using an The output signal of the controller descends from 100% optional external temperature probe, used as a floor temperature beginning from one end of the proportional band to 0% on the probe (PE17 = 1 or 2).

SERVICE-MANUAL NEA ROOM CONTROLLER 230V / 24V Pump logic The pump logic ensures that the pump relay is switched on as soon as one of the room temperature controllers switches on the valve actuator. Therefore the pump is only activated when there is a real need to heat or cool.
