OVERVIEW
This device is a relay module designed to drive loads (more
precisely, electro-thermal valves or circulators) via radio
in home or office heating/cooling systems. It features 8
independent channels, each of which can be associated with
an independent transmitter (radio thermostat or chronostat).
This system is undoubtedly the best solution for all buildings
in which wires cannot be laid between thermostats and the
heating/air conditioning equipment room.
OPERATION
Each thermostat or chronostat transmitter emits "radio
commands" toward the active antenna according to the
heating and cooling requirements of the room where the
thermostat is located in and according to the programmed
setpoint. These commands are then received by the active
antenna, installed in a suitable position in the room where
the boiler or air conditioning equipment is installed.
The active antenna then transmits digital data to the relay
module via a data cable so that only the relay associated with
the transmitter concerned will switch on or off according to
need. Each relay output can be connected to a valve that will
control the flow of hot/cold water in the heating/cooling unit
present in the room. In addition to the channel outputs, the
device features an "auxiliary" output, which is activated each
time at least one of the actuator outputs (channels 1-2: see
also "Pump Operation") is switched on. While it is operating,
the relay module continuously monitors the status of each
channel in order to detect any transmitter malfunctions.
