Function The controller measures the room temperature with its integrated sensor and maintains

the set point by delivering 0 to10 Vdc control commands. The RCU50U and RCU50.2U

provide P-control. With the RCU50U, the proportional band can be 2°F or 7°F (1°C or

4°C) in heating mode and 1°F or 3.5°F (0.5°C or 2°C) in cooling mode (selectable with

DIP Switch No. 4). With the RCU50.2U, the proportional band is fixed, 7°F (4°C) in

heating mode and 3.5°F (2°C) in cooling mode.

• RCU50U – When in the heating mode, on increase in temperature, the output signa

goes down (Reverse Acting - R.A.) from 10 to 0 volts. When in cooling mode, on

increase in temperature, the output signal goes up (Direct Acting - D.A.) from 0 to 1

volts.

• RCU50.2U – The output signal can be reversed 0 to 10 or 10 to 0 volts via the DIP

switch.

Minimum Limitation of

Cooling Signal

RCU50U

Using the potentiometer located on the circuit board, the cooling signal output can be

limited to a minimum value of between 0 and 100%. This can be used to ensure a

minimum supply air volume. When used in connection with a VAV controller, this

setting must be taken into account. To set minimum limitation, use a screwdriver to

adjust the potentiometer (see Figure 3). Values on the scale are percentage of full

operation.

Inversion of Output

Signal

RCU50.2U

With the RCU50.2U, the output signal can be inverted with the help of DIP Switch

No. 1. If set to ON, 0V corresponds to 0% travel and 10V to 100% travel. In position

OFF, 0V corresponds to 100% travel and 10V to 0% travel.

Set Point Shifting

RCU50U Signal Input 1 and 2 is used for outside temperature compensation. Using a 0 to 10 Vd

signal, the set point can be shifted by ±22.5°F at 72°F set point. The neutral position is

at 5 Vdc and means no set point shift.

Automatic Changeover

RCU50U The water temperature measured by the changeover sensor (QAH11.1) is used by the

controller to switch from heating to cooling mode, or vice versa. When the water

temperature is above 82°F (28°C), the controller switches to heating mode; below

61°F (16°C) it switches to cooling mode.

Set Point Limit Stops The room temperature set point can be limited in increments of 2°F (1°C) by using the

minimum and maximum set point limit stops. This prevents arbitrary set point

readjustments.

To set limit stops, remove the set point knob by pulling it straight off the shaft.

Reposition gray tabs for high and low stops in the holes around the perimeter of knob

as required. See Figure 6.

Operating Modes

Normal Mode

When dry contact (D1 and Ground) is open, the set point knob setting takes over

control and normal mode is initiated.

Frost Protection Mode

(RCU50U)

Frost protection mode can be initiated by activating the external operating mode

changeover switch, if DIP Switch No. 1 is set to OFF.

If the room temperature falls below 46°F (8°C), the controller will automatically switch t

frost protection mode. In that case, the heating valve opens and the room temperature

is maintained at a set point of 46°F (8°C). The set point adjusted by the user will be

ignored.

Energy Saving Mode Energy saving mode can be initiated by activating the external operating mode

changeover switch, if DIP Switch No. 1 is set to ON.

In energy saving mode, the heating set point is 61°F (16°C) and the cooling set point is

82°F (28°C), independent of the position of the set point knob.

Operating Mode

Changeover Switch

(RCU50U)

A changeover switch can be connected to status input D1–GND. When the switch

closes its contact (caused by an open window, for instance), the operating mode

changes from normal operation or standby to energy saving mode (if DIP Switch No. 1

is set to ON), or from normal operation or energy saving mode to standby (if DIP Switch

No. 1 is set to OFF).

The operating action of the switch (N.C. or N.O.) can be selected.

Mechanical Design The unit consists of two parts:

• Plastic housing which accommodates the electronics, the operating elements and

the built-in room temperature sensor.

• Controller base.

The housing snaps into the top and bottom of the mounting base.

Notes • In systems without automatic changeover, the temperature sensor can be replaced

by an external switch for manual changeover.

• In systems with cooling only operation, the controller changeover input (terminals 2

and 3) must be bridged.

• In systems with heating only operation, do not connect sensor to, or bridge

controller changeover input (terminals 2 and 3).

Notes, Continued • Check the settings of DIP Switches No. 1 through No. 5 and of the potentiometer of

the RCU50U, and of DIP Switch No. 1 of the RCU50.2U and change them, if

required

• After applying power, the controller makes a reset, which takes about three

seconds; it is then ready to operate.

• The unit can be located on a wall of the room to be conditioned. Do not mount in

direct sunlight or near other heat or refrigeration sources.

• Mounting height is approximately 60 inches (150 cm) above the floor. (See

Figure 8.)

• The connecting wires can be run to the controller from a recessed conduit box.

• The controller should be opened by authorized personnel only.

Figure 8. Acceptable Mounting Height.

• When mounting the unit, attach the controller base first. Then, make the electrical

connections and fit and secure the cover.

• The controller must be mounted on a flat wall and in compliance with local

regulations.

• Any radiator valves in the room must be set to their fully open positions upon start-

up.

• User input via set point knob or operating mode/fan speed selector (RCU50.2U

only) results in instantaneous response. There is a one-minute delay before

changes made to temperature sensing and changeover are implemented.

Drywall Mounting 1. Insert a small screwdriver into the bottom of the controller and press in the tab

located in center of the controller.

2. Lift the bottom of the controller from the controller base and push up to remove

cover from two tabs located at the top of the controller base.

3. Separate the controller base from the controller.
