Operating Instructions
RDF400...
RDF400... – the room thermostat that allows you to set the ideal room temperature.
The thermostat provides Comfort, Energy Saving, and Protection mode and can operate in Auto timer mode using
8 programmable time schedules.
The fan operates either in Auto mode or at a speed selected in Manual mode.
You can either take advantage of the thermostat's factory settings or adjust it as needed.

Comfort mode. The thermostat changes to Comfort
.
The setting range is 5...40 °C, unless limited by parameters P09 and P10.
Adjust fan speed / fan mode
Press the
button until you reach the desired fan mode.
In Auto mode, the thermostat automatically selects the fan speed based on set-
point and actual room temperature. The fan continues to run at low speed
(factory setting) after the room temperature reaches the setpoint .
In manual mode, the fan always runs at the speed that you select:
Low fan speed
Medium fan speed
High fan speed
For a single-speed fan, you can change the mode between

Change thermostat operating
Press operating mode button to change the operating mode display.
In protection mode, the plant stops operating. However, if the room temperature
drops below 8 °C, heating is switched on to protect the room against frost.
Your HVAC installer can change the frost protection limit and set a heat pro-
tection limit as needed:
Changes made by installer:
Frost protection:
........... ˚C
Heat protection:
........... ˚C
In Comfort mode, the thermostat maintains the room temperature on the set-
point which can be readjusted using the + and – buttons.
In Energy Saving mode, the room temperature is maintained at a lower or higher
setpoint, thus saving energy and money.
Adjust parameters P11 and P12 to change the preselected setpoints.
The thermostat can be set to Energy Saving mode either by pressing the ope-
rating mode button if enabled (P02 = 2), or via an external signal (switch) such
as window contact, keycard or presence detector.
In Auto timer mode, the thermostat automatically switches between Comfort
and Energy Saving mode according to the time schedule.
Change from heating to cooling mode
/
Changeover between cooling and heating is either automatic using a heating /
cooling changeover sensor or a remote changeover switch, or manual by
pressing the operating mode button
. No changeover is possible if the
thermostat is configured for cooling only or heating only, (see parameter P01).
