Features
VMF: Variable Multi Flow system. Management and control system of hydronic systems for the conditioning, heating and production of domestic hot water. The VMF system allows complete control of every component of a hydronic system both locally and centrally and, communicating between the various components of the system, manages the performance without ever neglecting the end user's request of comfort, but reaching it as efficiently as possible with energy saving. If you add the advantages deriving from such an innovative control to the flexibility of a hidronic system, you get a more efficient and effective alternative to the variable refrigerant flow systems (VRF). The VMF system is extremely flexible, enough to allow various control and manage steps, expandable at different moments: 1) Control of a single fancoil. 2) Control of a microzone (one MASTER fancoil and a maximum of 5 SLAVE fancoils). 3) Control of multi independent zones system (one MASTER fancoil and a maximum of 5 SLAVE fancoils for each zone). 4) Control of a fancoil system, plus management of the heat pump (if compatible with the VMF system). 5) Control of a fancoil system, heat pump and management of the domestic hot water system (VMF-ACS). 6) Control of a fancoil system, heat pump, domestic hot water production and additional circulators (up to a maximum of 12 using three additional VMF-CRP modules). 7) Control of a fancoil system, heat pump, domestic hot water production, additional circulators and management of heat recovery units, maximum 3, (with the ability to handle up to 3 VMF-VOC sensors) or a boiler. The VMF system can operate and manage, through a VMF-E5N / VMF-E5B panel, a maximum of 64 zones consisting of a MASTER fancoil and a maximum of 5 SLAVE fancoils connected to each MASTER, for a total of 384 fancoils. Besides the central control supplied by theVMF-E5N / VMF-E5B panel, the MASTER fancoils must be provided with a local control interface; this interface can be mounted on the fancoil (VMF-E2 / VMF-E2H) or be mounted into a wall panel (VMF-E4). Different functions can be controlled through the VMF-E5N / VMF-E5B panel, including: - Identify the different zones setting a name for each one. - Check and set the ON-OFF function and the set temperature of each zone. - Set and manage the set temperature of the heat pump. - Scheduling time slots. Simple installation of the fancoil system through the SELF-MONITORING function of the MASTER fancoils.
System components
VMF-E0: thermostat accessory to fix on the side of the fancoil, equipped with air and water sensors as standard, controls 2 pipes, 4 pipes, 2 pipes + Plasmacluster, 2 pipes + UV lamps, 2 pipes + Electric heater systems. Equipped with external contact to be used as low voltage remote ON-OFF. This thermostat can create a single fancoil zone through 2-wire serial communication (1 master + 5 slaves maximum). The thermostat is fuse protected. VMF-E1: like VMF-E0 with extra: - Economy contact/presence sensor. - Auxiliary water sensor for general control in 4-tube systems (with VMF-SW1 accessory). - Serial RS485, protocol ModBus RTU, for centralised control. - Possibility to insert expansion cards for future development. The VMF-E1 accessory must therefore be used in the Masters in the presence of multiple zones, or for communication with the chiller/heat pump. VMF-E18: the same as the VMF-E1, but for fancoils with inverter motors. VMF-E2: this is the user interface on the machine to match to the VMF-E0, VMF-E1 and E18 accessories for the series UL-S-FCXAS, FCX-U (sizes 62-64-82-84-102) FCX180U FHX-U (sizes 62-82). Equipped with 2 selector switches, one for temperature and one for speed control. VMF-E2D: is the user interface (as above) on the machine, to combine with accessories VMF and VMF-E0-E1, dedicated to the series DUALJET. VMF-E2H: this is the User Interface (as above) on the machine, to match to the VMF-E0, E1, accessories dedicated to the HL series VMF-E4: this is the wall mounted user interface, to match to the VMF-E0, VMF-E1 and VMF-E18 accessories for the UL, HL, and FCX series without on-board control. Innovative design, extremely slim and inexpensive, allows control of functions via a capacitive touch keypad with LCD display. The environment can be adjusted with the sensor on the panel (standard), or the sensor of the fancoil which it is connected to, or by their arithmetic mean. It also allows the activa t i on o f t h e a i r p u r i f i e r a c c e sso r y (Plasmacluster / UV Lamp) and the electrical heating element. VMF-E4D:is the variant of the previous code, but with frontal gray Pantone 425C (METAL) VMF-E5B: white recessed panel, with backlit graphic LCD and capacitive keyboard allows the centralised command/control of a complete hydronic system consisting of Fancoils: up to 64 fancoil zones consisting of a master + 5 slaves. Chiller/heat pump equipped with Modu_Control, GR3 and pCO2/PCO controls (accessory required for RS 485 interface with MODU-485A, AER485, AER485P2 / AER485P1); circulators: up to 12 configurable zone circulators; boiler: boiler consensus management for hot water production; heat recovery units: consents up to 3 per programmable recovery units based on the timing and/or by measuring the air quality obtained with the VMF-VOC accessory; domestic water module: complete management of the domestic hot water production through the control of: diverting/circulator valve, integrated resistor, accumulation temperature sensor, antilegionella circuit. VMF-E5N: this is the variant of the previous code, but with black plastic. VMF-VOC : accessories for measuring air quality (see related point in the description of the VMF-E5B). VMF-CRP: accessory module for the control of the boilers, pumps and heat recovery units. VMF-SIT3: Interface cards that allow you to connect
the thermostats VMF and VMF-E0-E1 to a fan motor with high power (for selection see all the documentation of the thermostat and the fan coil).
thermostats for the maximum control in the cold range. VMF-ACS3KM: electrical panel for the complete command/control for hot water storage (3-way control valve, integrated single phase 3kW resistor command, Anti-legionella and temperature sensor). VMF-ACS3KTN: electrical panel for the complete command/control for hot water storage (3-way control valve, integrated three-phase 3kW resistor command, Anti-legionella and temperature sensor). VMF-ACS6KTN: electrical panel for the complete command/control for hot water storage (3-way control valve, integrated three phase 6kW resistor command, Anti-legionella and temperature sensor).
