Salus Controls FC600

Compatibility

Compatible with EpiSensor Edge over Zigbee.

Pair it with the Zigbee radio on an EpiSensor Gateway. Edge reads it locally on the Gateway.

Edge reads 10 values from it, listed under Interface.

Specifications

It measures room temperature every 15 seconds over 0 to 45 °C. Two inputs, S1 and S2, change what it does. S1 takes a heat/cool changeover switch or a 10 kΩ NTC pipe sensor. S2 takes an occupancy contact, such as a hotel key card switch that sends the room to ECO or standby, or an external 10 kΩ NTC room sensor that replaces the internal one. Control is TPI or span, and it keeps frost protection at 5 °C even in standby.¹

Power

Mains. 230 V AC +10 % −15 %, 50 Hz on terminals L and N. The same supply feeds the 230 V AC valve and fan outputs, and user settings survive a power cut.¹

Outputs

V1 and V2 valves, F1 to F3 fan speeds, all 230 V AC¹

Output rating

5(2) A²

Systems

2-pipe or 4-pipe fan coils¹

Setpoint range

5 to 40 °C¹

Measuring range

0 to 45 °C¹

Display resolution

0.5 °C or 0.1 °C, selectable¹

Temperature offset

−3.0 to +3.0 °C in 0.5 °C steps¹

Temperature sampling

Every 15 seconds¹

Sensor inputs

S1 and S2, NTC 10 kΩ, B25/50 = 3950 K¹

Control algorithm

TPI or span, set by parameter d15¹

Frost protection

5 °C, always on¹

Operating conditions

0 to 50 °C, below 95 % RH non-condensing¹

Ingress protection

IP30, indoor use only¹

Mounting

Flush, in a 60 mm wall box¹

Dimensions

86 × 86 × 42 mm²

Wireless

Zigbee, 2.4 GHz²

Where it is used

• Fan coil schedules checked against HVAC energy: the running state shows when each room calls for heating or cooling, beside the metered supply to the fan coils and plant.

  HVAC energy monitoring for commercial buildings

• Hotel rooms, with a key card switch on S2 sending an empty room to ECO or standby and Edge setting the occupied setpoint and fan mode.

• Room temperature and heating or cooling demand logged per zone, to check comfort against the schedule the building is meant to run.

  Indoor environmental monitoring

Interface

Readings and settings, with units and ranges where Salus Controls publishes them. R readable, R·W readable and writable.

The thermostat answers on endpoint 9. Zigbee2MQTT’s converter configures it to report room temperature, heating setpoint, system mode, fan mode, running mode and running state.⁴

There is one writable setpoint, occupied_heating_setpoint, from 5 to 40 °C in 0.5 °C steps. The converter does not expose a separate cooling setpoint.⁴

The preset maps to the thermostat’s own hold types: schedule, temporary override, permanent override, standby and eco.^1, 4

Installer parameters d00 to d34 are set on the thermostat with code 49, and only while it is not connected to a gateway. Set the pipe configuration, the S1 and S2 inputs and the ECO setpoints before pairing.¹

Setup

1. Configure it locally first

   Wire and power the thermostat, then choose 2-pipe or 4-pipe and the S1 and S2 functions. Other installer parameters are reached with code 49. The installer menu is not available once the thermostat is connected to a gateway.¹

2. Open pairing in Edge

   In Edge, open pairing on the Gateway’s Zigbee network so the Gateway accepts new devices.

3. Join from a new thermostat

   On first power-up the display shows UG YES. Press OK, then press OK again when it shows PAIR. The antenna icon appears in the corner of the display while it joins.¹

4. Or join one already in use

   Hold the fan, M and OK buttons for 3 seconds, enter code 55 with the arrow buttons and press OK. Select UG YES, press OK, then confirm PAIR.¹

5. Check a reading and a control

   Check that Edge identifies it as Salus Controls FC600 and that the room temperature matches the display. Change the setpoint from Edge and confirm the display follows it.

Common questions

Does the FC600 need a Salus gateway to work with Edge?

No. Salus uses its UG600 or UGE600 gateway for the Salus Smart Home app, but the FC600 is a Zigbee device with a Zigbee2MQTT converter, so it joins the Zigbee radio on an EpiSensor Gateway directly. It then sits on that network instead of a Salus gateway.^1, 4

Does it work with 2-pipe and 4-pipe fan coils?

Yes. In a 2-pipe system V1 switches the heating or cooling valve and V2 is not used. In a 4-pipe system V1 switches the heating valve and V2 the cooling valve. Parameter d01 selects which.^1, 3

Can the installer settings be changed over Zigbee?

No. Pipe configuration, the S1 and S2 inputs, TPI or span control, the ECO setpoints and the other installer parameters are set on the thermostat in installer mode, which works only while it is not connected to a gateway.^1, 4

What load can the outputs switch?

The valve and fan outputs are 230 V AC and Salus rates them at 5(2) A. The thermostat is supplied at 230 V AC +10 % −15 %, 50 Hz.^1, 2

Can it use a remote temperature sensor?

Yes. A 10 kΩ NTC sensor on S2 replaces the internal sensor, which suits a thermostat mounted away from the room or a return-air measurement. In a 2-pipe system a pipe sensor on S1 can also switch heating and cooling automatically, at 30 °C and 10 °C by default.¹
