CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations with you new control system for underfloor heating and cooling. The control system has been developed to provide a temperature control system for room heating and cooling, integrating the switching of primary heating and cooling sources with the control of water temperature and mixing devices.
QUICK GUIDES QUICK GUIDE, ANALOGUE ROOM SENSORS These room sensors have an adjustment knob which enables you to increase or decrease the room temperature setting by up to 4°C. Room sensors type REH TM3 and REH TD3 have a slide switch for selecting the sensor's mode of operation. 4 diff erent modes can be selected: Auto, Day, Night and OFF REH TA3 REH TD3...

c. The display will show “CH 1” (channel 1). - Press the OK (√) button. - Select “ON” if this channel (room sensor) is to be controlled by the REH CT3 room controller, otherwise select “OFF”. - Now press the OK button to go to the next channel (CH 2) and repeat this step until all the required channels have been set to “ON”.
QUICK GUIDE, MASTER MODULES REH BA3 masters are preset and need no adjustment - see “Factory settings”. With REH FC-BMS3 masters, you can adjust the operating temperatures for any rooms which are not controlled by a CT room sensor. Setting day temperature REHAU BA3 To adjust the day temperature (indicated by a sun in the display), press the OK button.
TROUBLESHOOTING - If any LED on the master is flashing - see “Error indication”. Room is too cold The room sensor is placed in a position that is not representative of the general temperature in the room. For example mounted on an external wall or near an external heat source. (after running for at least 48 hours) If the room is controlled by a REH CT3 room controller, check that the time and temperatures are set correctly.
Using external switch The day temperature setpoint is defaulted to the factory setting of 21°C and the night temperature to the factory setting of 18°C. These default settings can be changed on the REH FC-BMS3 master. for night setback The current operating setpoint of the master can be forced into night temperature by connecting a separate timing device to the master.

Navigating the menu By using the UP (△), DOWN (▽) and OK/CONFIRM ( ) buttons, you move through the main menu into submenus. These submenus are described below. If you want to change a value, press the CONFIRM ( ) button once, then alter the value with the UP (△) and DOWN (▽) buttons.
Using the supply water sensor A limit sensor must be used with the REH FC-BMS3, but can be used without an outdoor compensation module (WLOC3. In this case, the master will control the temperature of the supply water flowing into the system via a 3- or to limit supply water temperature: 4-port mixing valve and actuator.
Page 11
Max. supply temperature The max. permissible supply water temperature is set according to the design requirements of the installation (line A on the curve). This is the safety maximum. Weather compensation Winter A design outdoor temperature and the corresponding design supply water temperature are set (point B).
Page 12
The offset value is calculated as three times the worst temperature deviation in the system. The maximum permissible BOOST compensation is limited to +/-15°C. The BOOST function is an additional input to the current outdoor temperature compensation calculation and gives the following algorithm: Water supply temperature setpoint = outdoor temperature compensated water supply temp.

Error number will be indicated by the number of flashes, with a pause of less than a 1/2 second between flashes. Indication will be followed by a pause of 2 seconds, after which the sequence will be repeated. Error codes can also be seen in the service menu of REH FC-BMS3 masters (submenu 2).

Flashing output LED (red): A flashing output LED indicates that the room sensor/controller on that channel has a fault/error. Error codes can also be seen in the service menu (submenu 2a). E1, 1 flash The master has lost communication to the room sensor. The fault can be corrected by re-establishing connection to the room sensor. The fault condition will be automatically reset once correct communication is resumed.
In addition to the REH CT3's immediate area of control, set in the ‘AREA’ option of its internal menu, the REH can control the time and temperature characteristics of other sensors (up to 14) connected to the REH FC-BMS3/BA3 master. This maximises comfort and efficiency while saving energy and reducing costs.

ArEA - (group of rooms) The rooms/channels set as part of the REH CT3 area will follow the automatic temperature settings of this room controller (4-event timer, min. and max. floor temperature limits). Set a channel (room) to ON if it is to be part of this area. Example: An area could be the living room, kitchen, and children’s rooms, all of which have a high temperature requirement during the afternoon and early evening and a lower temperature requirement during the morning and night.
Everyday use of the room controller 4-Event Clock Mode The day has been split into 4 events describing a typical day. When the room controller is in 4-event mode, it will automatically change the temperature to the required level at the programmed times. As standard, Wake up the room controller uses 4 events on days 1 to 5 (Monday to Friday) 2 events on days 6 and 7 (Saturday and Sunday).
Programming 4-event times and temperatures For each event, start time and required temperature must be set. Press the OK (√) button for 3 seconds to start programming Example: You want the heating to start at 07:00 in the morning Days 1-5 and the temperature to be 25°C.

PRO - 4-event sequence It is possible to change the factory-set sequence for Days 1-5 (4 events) and Days 6-7 (2 events). Days 1 to 5 are usually Monday to Friday, while Days 6-7 are usually Saturday and Sunday. An event is either a comfort temperature or a setback temperature. You can select from the following sequences, which are displayed in the form of a code.

Reset to factory settings - room controllers NOTE: If more than one REH CT3 is present in the system, please copy this page. Press the pinhole button R for 3 second. and the thermostat will Group Room return to factory settings. Remember to set time, day and area.
Where a radiator circuit is used, it is possible to control room temperature using a special REH CT3 mode called Radiator Mode, thus optimizing energy savings. The controller measures the temperature in the room, and a zone valve is then controlled via the REH FC-BMS3/ BA3 master, which in turn activates the boiler on demand.
INSTRUCTIONS Intelligent Room Sensor with Display - Type REH DT3 Introduction REH DT3 is a room sensor with display. It displays and controls room temperature with the possibility of adjusting the standard set point in the system by ±4°C. It also features mode selection, where Auto, Day, Night and OFF (frost protected) are available, and allows connection of a floor sensor for minimum or maximum floor temperature limitation.
Everyday use: (Home screen functions) Automatic mode: In automatic mode, a clock symbol ( ) is shown along with the actual temperature. The temperature is controlled by the master's comfort setpoint or by a room controller (REH CT) if this REH DT is included in the REH CT's area (zone).
Advanced settings and read-outs: Press the UP (△) and DOWN (▽) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. INFO will be displayed. Continue pressing the UP(△) button until you reach the submenu you want. 3 sec. Select the submenu with the OK (√) button. INFO - Information INFO allows you to view the room and floor temperatures actually measured.
With REH FC-BMS3 masters, the default DAY, NIGHT and OFF temperature settings can be adjusted via the display. Changing the temperature setting on a REH FC-BMS3 master also changes the default temperature for all connected room sensors. However, the temperature setting of each REH TA3, REH TM3 or REH TD3 room sensor is locally adjustable via its own adjustment knob. With this knob, the temperature setting from the master can be increased or decreased by 4°C for that specific room.
