Quick Start-up 1 Introduction This manual explains basic procedures for using the controller, setting up the built-in application and information on connection details. It is recommended to read this manual before using the controller. For detailed operating procedures and troubleshooting information, see user manuals: FCU Programming, FCU Application, FCU Hardware, FCU Updater.
The iSMA-B-FCU controller comes in a box along with the connectors and the iSMA-B-FCU installation instruction. 2.2 Tools To safely and properly set up the iSMA-B-FCU controller, the flat head screwdriver 3.0 x 0.5 mm is necessary. 2.3 Dimensions and Mounting The controller dimensions and mounting details are presented on the figure 1.
Note: The detailed information about the DIP switches configuration is available in the FCU Hardware manual. The iSMA-B-FCU controller configuration step by step is described in chapter 3 of this document and consists of steps: Step 1: configuration of the PROTOCOL DIP switch responsible for selecting used protocol and its baud rate, and restoring the controller to the default settings;...

ON (1) ON (1) BACnet Slave Table 4. Protocol configuration 3.2.2 Restoring Default Settings To restore the default iSMA-B-FCU device settings, follow the steps below: • Turn off the power supply. • Set the 6 switch of the PROTOCOL DIP switch to ON.
Quick Start-up 3.3 Step 2: Setting Controller Address 3.3.1 MAC DIP Switch Configuration For the controller to operate correctly in the network, its address needs to be set to the desired value. The controller address is set by the MAC DIP switch. The state of the MAC DIP switch represents binary information of the controller address.
For another address DIP switch configuration, see the iSMA-B-FCU Hardware manual. 3.4 Step 3: Choosing the FCU Pipe Type The iSMA-B-FCU can be used in 4-pipe installations as well as in 2-pipe installations. In order for the controller to operate correctly in the application, it is necessary to know the fan coil pipe type and set the CFG DIP switch to the corresponding settings as described below.
Figure 4. 2-pipe FCU installation For connection details go to steps 6, 7, and 8. For more information on configuring the FCU pipe types, check the iSMA-B-FCU Application manual. 3.5 Step 4: Switching Between 1 Heating Stage and 2 Heating Stages Modes The fan coil unit can operate with one heating device or with two heating devices.

Otherwise, when using only the first stage cooling, the O5 output can be used for digital control of the first stage cooling actuator. Figure 8. Cooling actuators connection For more information on control types and connection details, check the iSMA-B-FCU Application manual and iSMA-B-FCU Hardware manual. www.ismacontrolli.com DMP245en | 1st Issue rev.
By default, the sensor’s type, served by the controller’s inputs S1 and S3, is the 10K3A1 NTC. The temperature sensor type can be changed using the iSMA Tool software. Figure 9. FCU connectors 3.8.1 Temperature Source: iSMA-B-LP/Touch Point Room Panel Figure 10.
