Installation and User Guide DEVIreg™ Multi
1 Introduction
DEVIreg™ Multi is 7 channel electronic programmable controller to be installed on
DIN-rail and supposed to be used for controlling electrical heating and cooling systems.
Every channel can be individually set up with three control modes –temperature sensor,
time proportional power regulation without sensor and manually on/off with time period.
Universal analog channels’ inputs can be selected via software between 8 types of temperature
sensors including NTC 15 kOhm at 25 °C. Controller has graphic LCD display, Modbus RS-485
opto-insulated serial interface and 110/230 V AC power supply.
DEVIreg™ Multi has 8 control relays – 2 sets of max. 10 A and 6 sets of max. 6 A; and among
them 4 sets NO and 4 sets NC/NO contacts. Relay control functions can be set up for heating
or cooling systems. Additionally, relay contacts are not connected to a voltage source inside
the controller, and can be used for control systems with any voltage up to 250 V AC.
In addition to 3 control modes, DEVIreg™ Multi has some special functions which can be
programmed for every channel: relay status – opened or closed for ‘Heating On’ mode,
channel activation or deactivation, sensor failure alarm, min. and max. temperature alarms,
cable failure monitoring, relay test, channel on/off, relay cycles’ calculator, etc.
Hardware of DEVIreg™ Multi is based on the Danfoss controller type MCX08M2,
art. no. 080G0307, but is customized with special software.
The product complies with the EN/IEC Standard “Automatic electrical controls for household and similar use”:
• EN/IEC 60730-1 (general)
• EN/IEC 60730-2-9 (thermostat)
More information on this product can also be found at: devi.com
NB: All relevant abbreviations and words in bold are terms used in DEVIreg™ Multi screen
texts with exact the same spelling.

2 Safety Instructions
Make sure the mains supply to the controller is turned off before installation.
Please also note the following:
• The installation of the controller must be done by an authorized and qualified installer
according to local regulations.
• The controller must be connected to a power supply via an all-pole disconnection switch.
• Always connect the controller to continuous power supply.
• Do not expose the controller to moisture, water, dust and excessive heat.
IMPORTANT: When the controller is used for controlling a floor heating element/cable in
connection with a wooden floor or similar material, always use a floor sensor and never
set the maximum floor temperature to more than 35°C.
Note: Product is designed for Over Voltage Category II. When used in fixed installation,
installation must be equipped with transient protection.
3 Mounting Instructions
Please observe the following placement guidelines:
Install the thermostat in an electric cabinet with DIN rail attachment or a separate DIN
attachment according to local regulation on IP classes.
Do not place the thermostat in a way that it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Follow the steps below to mount the thermostat:
1. Click the thermostat on the DIN rail attachment.
2. Connect the thermostat according to the connection diagram and chosen system mode(-s)
3. The screen of the heating cable must be connected to the earth conductor of the
power supply cable by using a separate connector.
4. Turn on the power supply.
Note: Always install the floor sensor in a conduit in the floor construction or similar. The
bending radius of the conduit must be min. 50 mm.

4 User Manual
4.1 Control modes overview
The DEVIreg™ Multi is 7 channels controller and every channel can be individually set up
with one from three control modes:
1. Single sensor control with temperature sensor - ‘1 Sensor’ mode or ‘1S’.
2. Time proportional power regulation – ‘Power Regulation’ mode or ‘PR’.
3. Manually On/Off control with time period – ‘MOn’/’MOf’ mode.
1S mode or Single sensor control
1S mode is control with temperature sensor and adjustable hysteresis. 1S control typically
can be used for Pipe heating, Ground Ice & Snow melting, Cold rooms’ protection, Comfort
Floor heating, Total heating and other applications with temperature control.
This control mode is similar to well-known DEVIreg™ 316 thermostat.
Universal analog channel’s inputs (AI) can be selected via software between 8 types of
temperature sensors including NTC 15 kOhm at 25°C.
This mode can be set up with special function to control Alarm min. and max. temperatures.
Additionally, it can be set up with so called Cable OK? function which uses channel digital
input (DI) with connected Current Monitoring Relay (CMR) to control availability of electricity passing through a heating cable or similar.
PR mode or Power Regulation control
PR mode is time proportional power regulation with a simple duty cycle generator. Time
for status ‘Heating On’ during the chosen mode cycle can be set up by installer. PR control
typically can be used where one wants to dissipate a subjective amount of power.
This mode is also not connected to a temperature sensor and is therefore very suitable for
installation where it is impossible to install temperature sensor.
This control mode is similar to well-known DEVIreg™ 527 controller.
This mode can be set up with so called Cable OK? function which uses channel digital
input (DI) with connected Current Monitoring Relay (CMR) to control power consumption
or similar.

Installation and User Guide DEVIreg™ Multi
Manually On/Of mode
Manually On/Of mode (on the screen – MOn or MOf) is control with setting time period
during which relay status ‘Heating On’ or ‘Heating Of’ will operate.
NB: This mode can be used only on the base of 1S or PR modes and upon its completion controller
returns to the same mode from which it started.

4.4 Control modes, special functions, special statuses and settings
Each of 7 Channels has possibility to be individually set up with one of three control
modes – 1S (1 Sensor), PR (Power Regulation) and MOn/MOf (Manually On/Of).
The controller configurations for these 3 modes are the following:
1. Single sensor control with temperature sensor or 1S: one temperature sensor input,
one relay output;
2. Power regulation control or time proportional power regulation or PR: no sensor
input, one relay output;
3. Heating control Manually On and Manually Off with setting time period or MOn and
MOf: no sensor input, one relay output;
Together with any control mode could be set up or enabled/disabled some special functions
and statuses: “Relay status RO/RC”, “ CableOK?”, “ Relay test 5/30”, “ Channel ON/OFF” and
“Device ON/OFF”. Special functions and statuses are specified in chapters below.
Additionally, any Channel can be set up with status ‘not Active’ or Active = No. It means
Channel does not work at all and “empty” line appears on the Main Screen.
4.4.1 Active and Not Active Channel status
Not Active status can be used for applications there is no need to use full channel set of 7.
And view/line for the Channel which is not used is simply deleted from the screen.
By the way, standard factory setting for DEVIreg™ Multi supposes 1 active Channel #2.
The Main Screen with the only one Active Channel #2 is as on the picture below:
