2 INTRODUCTION
FC BASIC is an electronic controller for 2-4 pipe fan-coils. It controls the fan and the valves that regulate water flow and
can also control a battery of electric heaters for winter operation.
A compact wall-mounted version is available which is easy to install and to wire.

Interface F1
Interface F2
2 pipe installation
A knob on the panel is used to adjust the set point, and two slider switches are used to set
a) the mode
• for Interface F1 (heating/off/cooling)
• for Interface F2 (on/off)
b) the fan speed (low/medium/high).
Some models also feature a remote Heating/cooling control and an economy function.

DELIVERY FAN:
The fan is located just before the finned battery; and it takes back the room air via the inlet air duct.
The air flows across the batteries before being released into the room.
If the control is installed on the fan coil unit itself, an additional return air sensor, positioned in the flow of inlet air detects
the room temperature. In this case, the temperature measurement is valid only if the flow of inlet air is sufficient to nullify
or reduce stratification phenomena in the room.
WATER BATTERY – MOTORISED VALVE
Consists of a water-air exchanger, located internally, across which the inlet air travels.
Hot or cold water, produced by a boiler or a chiller, flows through the exchanger.
There may be a dual battery supply circuit (4-pipes); the 4-pipe configuration may be set up with two motorised valves and
two independent exchangers, or with a single exchanger (2-pipes). In some cases it is important to be able to measure the
temperature of the water supplied to the battery, which may be done with a water sensor located downstream of the
battery’s return and the valve.
(see Anti valve sticking)
ELECTRIC HEATERS
The electric battery may be used to heat air in 2-pipe systems when there is only cold water available (electric heaters in
regulation), or to assist heating using water when room temperature is far from setpoint (2
nd
step electric heaters in
integration).

3 INSTALLATION
The wall-mounted version of FC Basic consists of two parts:
• the first part (connector base plate) contains connectors only, and is anchored to the wall;
• the second part (main interface) contains all electronics and controls, and can easily be fitted onto the first part.
This set-up permits easy installation with no danger of damage to electronic components.
To separate the connector base plate from the main interface, use a tiny screwdriver, insert the screwdriver into the
appropriate holes (at the side of the housing), wrest gently till both parts are separated.
FC Basic can also be installed inside the fan-coil unit. An additional remote air sensor needs to be mounted in the return
air flow on the unit.
3.1 Warnings
INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY!
Due to the numerous functions and versions of controllers available, models offer different functions and options.
The description of the controllers in this document is general and is provided for information only.
For detailed information on the functions available, please contact an authorized dealer or the Sales Office of Eliwell.
Before installation, always read the labels fitted on the device.
Parts which are under hazardous voltage must not be accessible under regular operating conditions.
The device must be adequately protected from water and dust.
Do not install the control in environments with the following characteristics:
• Relative humidity (non-condensing) over 90%,
• Strong vibrations or shocks
• Ongoing exposure to jets of water under pressure
• Exposure to aggressive, polluting atmospheric agents which could cause corrosion or oxidation (such as sulphuric or
ammoniac substances, salt mists, fumes)
• Presence of considerable magnetic or radio interference (such as transmission antennas)
• Exposure to direct sunlight or atmospheric agents.
When connecting up controls with one another, with accessories, electric loads or other devices, take great care in relation
to the following:
• Incorrect connection with the power supply voltage could damage the control.
• Use of wire terminals which are appropriate for the terminals. Slacken the terminal screw, insert the wire terminal,
and then tighten the screw again. Check that it is tight by pulling gently on the wire. Do not use an automatic
screwing machine (or use with a torque setting of less than 50 N*cm)
•Possible electromagnetic interference: wire up low voltage utilities separately from high voltage utilities. Keep
temperature sensor cables and digital inputs separate from cables with inductive loads or power cables as much as
possible.
•Never wire power cables and temperature sensor cables through the same trunking/conduit. The remote sensor wires
must be kept far away from power devices (such as power relays). Make sure the route travelled by these cables is as
short as possible.
• Never apply loads to outputs, greater than those specified herein.
• Observe connection diagrams carefully when connecting up loads.
3.2 Mounting
The controller should be mounted in a room at a location which:
! Ensures easy access for operation
! Is free of curtains, cupboards, shelves, etc…
! Ensure free circulation of air
! Is free of direct sunlight
! Is free of draft (e.g. open window or door)

3.4 Analogue inputs
There are three analogue inputs available:
index Description sensor range meas. range
ST1 NTC sensor input. room temperature (built-in, always
available)
This is the temperature control sensor. It is always
integrated on the PCB.
The selection to use the local or remote sensor is done
through dip switch:
• DIP 6 = universal models
• DIP 4 = specific models
-->see dip switch table
ST2 NTC sensor input. air temperature:
This is the temperature control sensor. It is always
integrated on the PCB, but can be an additional remote
sensor, positioned in the return air flow.
The selection to use the local or remote sensor is done
through dip switch:
• DIP 6 = universal models
• DIP 4 = specific models
-->see dip switch table
ST3 NTC sensor input water temperature:
This is the sensor used to detect water temperature and
it should always be mounted downstream of the valve.
It is involved in consent and operating functions.
This input is also used for models with Remote
Heating/Cooling switch and on all other models for the
Window contact input (connection diagrams)
PLEASE NOTE: ST2 & ST3 are NOT included in the product package.
