Notes
Security

CAUTION
National safety regulations
Failure to comply with national safety regulations may result in personal injury and property
damage.
● Observe national provisions and comply with the appropriate safety regulations.

Engineering
Device address The device address is assigned to “1” (factory setting). If necessary, engineer/installer can
change the address value using the parameter P81.

Baud rate The Baud rate is selectable. Four options, 9600 bps, 19200 bps 38400 bps and 57600 bps,
are available for the Modbus network (19200 bps is default).

Parity Parity can be set to none, odd or even (even is default).

Mounting and installation

7
Siemens A6V12005486_en--_d
Smart Infrastructure 2022-11-14
Mounting ● Mount the room thermostat on a recessed square conduit box with 60 mm fixing centers.
● Do not mount on a wall in niches or bookshelves, behind curtains, above or near heat
sources, or exposed to direct solar radiation.
● Mount about 1.5 m above the floor.
● Mount the room thermostat in a clean, dry indoor place without direct airflow from a
heating / cooling device, and not exposed to dripping or splash water.
● In case of limited space in the conduit box, use mounting bracket ARG70.3 to increase
the headroom by 10 mm.

WARNING
Device damage
Carefully read all wiring diagrams prior to installation to avoid damage to the device caused
by incorrect wiring of high or low voltages.

Wiring ● See Mounting Instructions A6V12060783 enclosed with the thermostat.

● Comply with local regulations to wire, protect and earth the thermostat.
● The device has no internal fuse for supply lines to fan and actuators. To avoid risk of
fire and injury due to short-circuits, the AC 230 V mains supply line must have a circuit
breaker with a rated current of no more than 10 A.
● Properly size the cables to the thermostat, fan and valve actuators for AC 230 V
mains voltage.
● Use only valve actuators rated for AC 230 V.
● Adapt the wiring cross section for power supply (L, N), and 230 V outputs (Yx-N) to
the preceding overload protection elements (max 10 A) under all circumstances. Comply
with local regulations under all circumstances.
● Cables of SELV inputs S1 (X2)-M / B1 (X1)-M: use cables with min 230 V insulation,
as the conduit box carries AC 230 V mains voltage.
● Inputs S1 (X2)-M / B1 (X1)-M: several switches (e.g. summer/winter switch) may be
connected in parallel. Consider overall maximum contact sensing current for switch
rating.
● Selectable relay function: Follow the instructions in Basic documentation A6V12114068
to connect external equipment to the relay outputs.
● Isolate the cables of Modbus communication input A+, B- and REF for 230 V.
● Disconnect thermostat from power supply before removing from the mounting plate.
● The device does not support hot-plug.
Operating mode
In Protection mode, press any button to activate the screen, then press the mode button to
change to another operating mode.
Commissioning
Applications The room thermostat is delivered with a fixed set of applications.
Select and activate the relevant application during commissioning using one of the following
tools:
● Local DIP switch and HMI
● Modbus commissioning tools
Set the DIP switches before snapping the front panel onto the mounting plate, if you want to
select an application via DIP switches.
All DIP switches need to be set to “OFF” ("remote configuration"), if you want to select an
application via commissioning tools.

8
Siemens A6V12005486_en--_d
Smart Infrastructure 2022-11-14
 After power is applied, the thermostat resets and all LCD segments light up, indicating that
resetting was correct. After the reset, which takes about 3 seconds, the thermostat is ready
for commissioning by qualified HVAC staff.

Display “NONE” If “NONE” is displayed on the LCD, the DIP switches are set to OFF-OFF-OFF for remote
configuration, but the application has not yet been assigned to the device. The application
can be set using commissioning tools via RS485 Modbus.
Note

When the application is changed, the thermostat reloads the factory settings for all control
parameters, except baud rate (P82), parity (P83) and zone addresses (P81)!

Control The thermostat's control parameters can be set to ensure optimum performance of the entire
parameters system.
The parameters can be adjusted via
● Local HMI
● Modbus commissioning tools

Control sequence The control sequence may need to be set via parameter P01 depending on the application.
The factory setting for the 2-pipe application is “Cooling only”; and “Heating and cooling” for
the 4-pipe application.

Compressor-based application

When the thermostat is used with a compressor, adjust the minimum output On-time (P48)
and Off-time (P49) for Y1/Y2 to avoid damaging the compressor or shortening its life due to
frequent switching.

Calibrate sensor Recalibrate the temperature sensor if the room temperature displayed on the thermostat
does not match the room temperature measured (after minimum 1 hour of operation). To do
this, change P05.

Setpoint and range We recommend reviewing the setpoints and setpoint ranges (P08…P12) and changing them
limitation as needed to achieve maximum comfort and save energy.
