4.1 Mounting and installation
Mount the room thermostat on the conduit box. Do not mount on a wall in niches or
bookshelves, behind curtains, above or near heat sources, or exposed to direct
solar radiation. Mount about 1.5 m above the floor.
Mounting /
dismounting
• Mount the room thermostat in a clean, dry indoor place without direct airflow
from a heating / cooling device, and not exposed to dripping or splash water.
• RDF301...: In case of limited space in the conduit box, use mounting bracket
ARG70.3 to increase the headroom by 10 mm.
• Before removing the front cover, disconnect the power supply.
Wiring
See Mounting Instructions enclosed with the thermostat.
M3171... [3], M3076.1 [3a]
• Comply with local regulations to wire, protection and earth the thermostat.
• The device has no internal fuse for supply lines to fan and actuators. To avoid
risk of fire and injury due to short-circuits, the AC 230 V mains supply line must
have a circuit breaker with a rated current of no more than 10 A.
• Properly size the cables to the thermostat, fan and valve actuators for
AC 230 V mains voltage.
• Use only valve actuators rated for AC 230 V.
• The wiring cross section used for power supply (L, N), fan (Q1, Q2, Q3,N) and
230 V outputs (Yx -N) must be adapted to the preceding overload protection
elements (10A) under all circumstances. Comply under all circumstances with
local regulations.
• Cables of SELV inputs X1-M/X2-M: Use cables with 230 V insulation, as the
conduit box carries AC 230 V mains voltage.
• Inputs X1-M or X2-M: Several switches (e.g. summer / winter switch) may be
connected in parallel. Consider overall maximum contact sensing current for
switch rating.
• KNX communication cables (input CE+ / CE-): Use cables with 230 V
insulation, as the conduit box carries AC 230 V mains voltage.
• No metal conduits.
• No cables provided with a metal sheath.
• Disconnect from supply before opening the cover.
• When a KNX bus power supply is connected on the line with communicating
thermostats and Synco controller, the internal KNX power supply of the Synco
controllers must be switched off.
