1 CENTRALISED MANAGEMENT BY ZONE TIMER FOR COMFORT UNIT The comfort units (ductable, air handling units or cassettes), which are all independent, are equipped with a V300 control. Each comfort unit has its own comfort temperature sensor. A centralised timer comprising a zone controller and a wired LCD terminal in an electrical cabinet outside the zone enable remote centralised management of this loop.
(4) Contact inputs to override the installation in Comfort/Economy/Frost protection or Off mode (priority) (5) Authorising operation of the electric heaters on the comfort units (for bypass, etc.) (6) 230V output for automatic operation control (On/off) of ancillary equipment (AHU, extractors, etc.) (7) O utdoor temperature sensor option (activation limit for electric heaters on comfort units and/or advance heating restart). (8) RS485 communication bus: 2 shielded twisted pairs for connection → Terminal – Controller → Master and Slave controllers → Zone timer – Master or Individual controller 3 ZONE TIMER USER TERMINAL 1) Display: The permanent display shows: - The current time and day - The general state of the building (Auto or Override in progress) - The state of the central changeover (if option included) - The number of zones declared in the building 2) Navigation keys: These are used to enter settings (parameters, diagnostics, settings, etc.) 3) Validation key ...
▪ Outdoor temperature sensor (depending on options) - To be wired to sensor S1- ┴ (terminal 31-32) - Enables: 1) activation limit for electric heaters on the comfort units 2) the installation to be started in advance for heating ▪ 230V – 10 A max. contact output slaved to a time schedule (auxiliary control): The 230V EH output is then considered as a separate zone and can be switched ON/OFF by the time schedule for this zone (e.g. start-up of auxiliary equipment: extractor, fan, etc.). This zone appears as "Zone 1 6" on the display. ▪ Display keys locked (securing access to operate the installation, etc.) 5 V300 ZONE TIMER PARAMETERS AND DIAGNOSTICS ▪ Two levels are available: - Level 1: settings - Level 2: system start-up Level 2 "System start-up" must be used with care: these settings configure the installation, therefore modifications must only be made with full knowledge of the situation. Ciat accepts no responsibility for operating malfunctions on the installation resulting from incorrect configuration ▪ Level 1 "Settings" access: - From the main screen - Press and hold the ...

▪ O n the main screen, the MENU key is used to successively select and view the state of all zones, each declared zone, then zone 1 6 if it has been declared (the ZONE indicator flashes). The MENU key can then be used to access the "set timer" menu, before returning to the main screen. ▪ T he key is used to enter the selected zone sub-menu. The MENU key is used to navigate within this sub-menu, and to return to the zone's main screen. If none of these menus is confirmed using the key within 10 seconds, the display automatically returns to the main screen. ▪ I t is also possible to access the parameter and diagnostic menus from the main screen, in the same way as on a V300 room terminal. 11 MAIN MENUS → From the main screen: Access by successively pressing the "MENU" key → 4 main menus: Main screen/All Zones/Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone x…/ Zone1-6 (if present) / Set Timer scroll successively. → The general Building override is performed in the "All Zones" screen → T he Override/Time schedule/Setpoints sub-menus are accessible from the following menus: All zones (general building...
