General characteristics Micronet is a Microprocessor control panel designed to govern the operation of indoor units installed as part of the ERGO system, Large or Small version. The controllable units include FLAT fan coil units. The LARGE solution provides for all controllers (up to 126) to be connected to the supervisor software via an RS485 connection bus with Modbus protocol integrated in each controller.
In the LARGE version, the supervisor software can ascribe 4 degrees of autonomy to the MICRONET controller, depending on the level of remote control that has been assigned via the software: LOCAL: all functions may be accessed from the local control panel, including speed and temperature selection and setting of the cooling or heating mode.
Selector of operation LED indicating cooling mode Button for selecting Cooling/Heating SUPERVISOR NETWORK LED Thermostat LED indicating heating mode Function selector The function selector enables the user to select the desired function and fan speed of the unit. Specifically, the following options are available: OFF: to shut down the unit AUTO: automatic selection of fan speed according to the difference between the...
Temperature scales The serigraphic pattern around the thermostat selector represents a temperature scale which ranges from a minimum to comfort to maximum setting. Depending on the operating mode - cooling or heating - the scale will correspond to different temperatures as shown in figure 2. Temperature scales Cooling Heating...
Instructions for installing Micronet Important: The Micronet controller has been designed for fan coil units belonging to the FLAT series; should you wish to use it to control other types of units, you must make sure that the operating limits are complied with (see relevant section herein).

Setting the function dipswitches: 1. Take off the controller cover by removing the screw at the bottom. Important: to make subsequent assembly easier, be careful not to change the position of the two rotary controls (function selector and thermostat) and their respective potentiometers on the electronic card. 2.
Description of functions Room thermostat with control over air temperature: Fan speed is automatically adjusted based on the difference between the temperature set on the thermostat and the actual room temperature. This function is turned on by setting the speed selector on “Auto”. In the other positions the fan will simply be switched on and off.

Timing Available only for Micronet panels installed directly on fan coil units, this function starts up the fan at regular intervals (every 10 min.) and runs it at medium speed for 2 min. once the temperature inside the room has reached the level set on the thermostat.
