The function is especially useful when control is performed using

The device is fastened using 4 screws.

CE mark/Electromagnetic compatibility
The FCP controller is compliant with the EU standards on electromagnetic
compatibility, while quality and safety are ensured by the CAREL ISO
9001 certified design and production system and by the CE mark on the
product.

2. USER INTERFACE
The status of the controller is displayed using LEDs that are only visible
with the cover open.
The LEDs indicate:
• power on;
• serial connection status;
• aalarm status.

To set the operation of the controller, 4 trimmers and 4 dipswitches are

available for the main functions, while internal parameters are used to set
all the other functions. The parameters can be set using the programming
key, while access to the parameters for display and setting, as well
as access to the variables that represent the status of the controller, is
available via serial line.

3. INSTALLATION
To install the controller, proceed as follows, with reference to the
connection diagrams shown at the end of the manual. If a shielded cable is used to connect the load, both ends of the shield
should be earthed.
Important: 230 Vac mains voltage present on the board. On the controller side, the shield should be earthed using a metal cable
clamp screwed to the earth bar before the terminals.
Il regolatore può essere installato in ambienti esterni considerando le
avvertenze di seguito riportate:
• Connect the power supply: Fit a 10A T (or lower rating) fuse in the
power supply line (live L), based on the maximum current expected.
• Connect the probes and control signals: the probes can be installed at
a maximum distance of 10 m from the controller, as long as cables with
a minimum cross-section of 1 mm2 are used. To improve immunity to
disturbance, use shielded cables (connect just one end of the shield
to the earth).
• Program the instrument: for a more detailed description see the
chapter “Programming the instruments”.
• Connect the load: the load should only be connected after having
programmed the controller. In this regard, the maximum current Fig. 3.a
indicated in the “technical specifications” must be considered. The load
may be made up of multiple fans in parallel, as long as the maximum To ensure compliance with the safety standards, the electrical system

devices (contactors, circuit breakers or similar). Reduce the path of the
probe cables as much as possible, and avoid spiral paths that enclose

6.2 Configuring the probes and selecting

the range of measurement
The values of the set point and differential are always internally expressed
as a % of the range of measurement used, so as to be able to manage
different types of probes at the same time. For ratiometric pressure
probes, the range of measurement is the rated value of the probe. For
temperature probes, the range of measurement can be set by parameter
and can be limited compared to the maximum rated value of the probes
used, so as to improve the resolution of control.

NTC 50kΩ @25°C 0…+120 °C +20…+120 °C
Tab. 6.d
The default range, for both types of probes, has an interval of 100°C so as
to simplify the conversion of the set point and above all the differential
into a percentage.
The values measured by the probes are digitally filtered to attenuate any
external disturbance. The filter can be set by parameter.

6.14 Alarm situations and alarm management

Alarm status is activated in the event of:
• activation of the thermal protector (or in any case, the opening of the
contact connected to the digital input configured as the alarm input);
• fault on probes B1 or B2;
• error reading/writing the parameters saved in non-volatile memory
(EEPROM).
The alarm status is signalled by the red LED, depending on the causes, in
order of priority:
on steady parameter alarm
1 impulse probe alarm
2 impulses digital input open alarm

In the event of more than one alarm at the same time, the signal with the
highest priority is shown.

Warning: if digital input ID1 is set as normally open, the alarm is

active when ID1 is closed.

The probe fault alarm is generated if the probe is disconnected or short-

circuited. Only the probes enabled by parameter and/or dipswitch are
managed (probe B1 is enabled by default, while probe B2 can be enabled
by dipswitch).
In alarm status, the controller output provides one of three possible
voltage values, with reference to the mains voltage, which can be set
by parameter: 0%; 50%; 100% (default). Normal operation is restored
automatically as soon as the alarm situation is resolved. In the event
of alarms due to errors when reading/writing the parameters, the
parameters take the default values. The alarm is reset only when a correct
parameter copy operation is performed using the key or the parameters
are written from the supervisor. If the alarm persists, the EEPROM is faulty
