Purpose of this document 1 About this document 1.1 Purpose of this document This document provides detailed information on the functions of the RDB160BN BACnet MS/TP room thermostat as well as on mounting and installing, commissioning and operating the RDB160BN.
Siemens assumes no liability to the extent allowed under the law for any losses resulting from a failure to comply with the aforementioned points or for the improper compliance of the same.
Overview 2 Overview The RDB160BN BACnet MS/TP room thermostats are used for the following types of system: ● Fan coils with On/Off, modulating or DC control outputs (electric heater only with On/Off output): – 2-pipe system – 2-pipe system with electric heater –...

Factory setting is from 0 to 99. Baud rate The baud rate is selectable. Four options are available for the RDB160BN: 9600, 19200, 38400 and 76800 (default setting) bps. The RDB160BN BACnet MS/TP room thermostats are delivered with a fixed set of applications and related parameters.
Temperature control 3 Functions 3.1 Temperature control The RDB160BN BACnet MS/TP room thermostat controls the room temperature with a built-in temperature sensor, an external room temperature sensor (QAA2012) or an external return air temperature sensor (QAP2012.150). It maintains the setpoint temperature by sending actuator control commands to the heating and/or cooling equipment.

Functions Operating modes Comfort mode In Comfort mode, the thermostat maintains the Comfort setpoint temperature. The setpoint can be defined via parameter P64, locally adjusted via the Up/Down buttons or remotely selected via BACnet. Factory setting is 22 °C. The Comfort mode change can be delayed, typically used in combination with a presence detector: ●...

Applications Additional functions External / return air temperature sensor The thermostat measures the room temperature with a built-in sensor, an external room temperature sensor (QAA2012) or an external return air temperature sensor (QAP2012.150) connected to a multifunctional input AI. Input AI must be commissioned accordingly. For detailed information about the input settings refer to chapter 'Multifunctional input, digital input [➙...
Control sequences Blocking a device during fire alarms The RDB160BN thermostat can be completely blocked during fire alarms. This function can only be activated via BACnet (Binary value, 9). If the current value has not been previously set to 0, the function forces the unit to OFF mode and prevents it from being reactivated.

Product no. / 2-position (PWN DC 0…10 V 3-position Control output or On/Off) RDB160BN DO4, DO5 AO1, AO2 DO4, DO5 (2x Triac) AO2 is shared with DC 0…10 V fan and can be used for valve actuators only with 1-, 2- or 3-speed fan application.
Control outputs Fan control No exercises occur for electric heaters. In other words, the function does not impact an electric heater. DC 0...10 V signal AO1 and AO2 can be set as outputs, providing DC 0…10 V signal for modulating valves.
Control type 1-/2-/3-speed DC 0…10 V selected via RDB160BN DO1, DO2, DO3 P77, P30 The type of fan output (DC 0...10 V, 1-, 2- or 3-speed) can be selected via local HMI using parameters P77 and P30 or via BACnet objects.

Control outputs Fan operation NOTICE Fan operation in the dead zone (fan kick) must be changed to disable the fan operation. For detailed information about chilled / heated ceilings refer to chapter 'Chilled ceiling with radiator [➙ 18]'. Fan operation in dead zone (fan kick) In automatic fan mode and a room temperature within the dead zone, the control valve is normally closed, and the fan is at minimum speed.

24 V, DC 0…10 V The documents can be downloaded at http://siemens.com/bt/download With PWM control, it is not possible to ensure exact parallel running of two or more thermal actuators. If several fan coil systems are controlled by the same room thermostat, use motorized actuators with On/Off or 3-position control.
The MAC address must be unique within an MS/TP network. Baud rate The baud rate is selectable via parameter P62. Four options are available for the RDB160BN: 9600, 19200, 38400 and 76800 (default setting) bps. MS/TP Master The maximum number of master units can be set from 0 to 127.
