Caution: To avoid interference, keep installation/data
cables away from power cables of more than 50 VAC.
Limitations for radio transmission
The Uponor Climate Control Zoning System II uses radio
transmission. The frequency used is reserved for similar
applications, and the chances of interference from other radio
sources are very low.
However, in some rare cases, it might not be possible to
establish perfect radio communication. The transmission
range is sufcient for most applications, but each building has
different obstacles affecting radio communication and maximum
transmission distance. If communication difculties exist, Uponor
recommends relocating the antenna to a more optimal position
and ensuring radio sources are at least 16" (40 cm) apart for
solving exceptional problems.

System overview
The Uponor Climate Control Zoning System II is for use
with underoor heating installations and combines comfort,
user friendliness and temperature control for each individual
room of a home.
The system consists of a base unit, thermostats and actuators.
The base unit manages the operation of the actuators when
the thermostats detect a demand for the heating.
The system is controlled by different types of thermostats.
Designed for maximum comfort, the thermostats communicate
with the base unit by radio link. It is possible to mix the
different types of thermostats in the same installation.

Uponor actuators
Uponor actuators are mounted on top of the manifold valves
and operated using either on/off signals or pulse width
modulation (PWM) signals.
On/off control
When installing a system with on/off control, manual balancing
of the system is required.
As soon as the temperature measured at a thermostat is lower
(heating mode) than the setpoint temperature, a demand to
change the room temperature is created and sent to the base
unit. The base unit will open the actuators according to current
settings. Once the set temperature is reached, this information
is sent and the actuators are closed. The indicator window on
the actuator shows, with a white bar, how much it is opened.
If the window is completely lled with white it is fully opened,
no white bar shown means the actuator is closed.
Figure 1-9: Actuator valve status
A Actuator has closed the valve (empty indicator)
B Actuator has opened the valve (white indicator)
Autobalancing
The base unit can operate the actuator outputs by either on/off
signals or by Autobalancing (on by default), using PWM signals.
Autobalancing is a function where the system calculates the
actual energy need of single rooms and adapts the output
power of each loop to its length. This means a short loop
might get 20% on time while a long loop might get about 60%.
The automatic balancing continues through the seasons
and throughout the household’s changing lifestyle and
usage patterns, removing the need of manual balancing.
This gives more even oor temperatures and faster system
reaction times with lower energy consumption than any
standard on/off system.
Low hysteresis temperature
Uponor uses a low hysteresis temperature for best performance
of the system. It is used for high-control accuracy by deciding
when to start and stop heating and cooling, based on information
from sensors and setpoint values.
MicroSD card
The system uses a microSD card for cloning automatic backup
(settings and thermostat registration data), manual restoration
of backup, data logging (room data, controller data, system data
and events) and upgrading software.
Time to open and close an actuator is one minute.
