1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN
MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN from Zennio is a versatile KNX multi-function actuator that
aims at fulfilling the climate control needs of KNX environments with integrated fan coil
units where the fan speed is controlled through an analogue 0-10 VDC signal, while
the gates of the water pipes need to be controlled through binary outputs (relays).
The actuator provides two analogue outputs and four binary outputs, all of which can
be enabled and configured independently, which lets the integrator combine them
as desired to control up to 2 two-pipe or four-pipe fan coil units.
At a glance, the most outstanding features of MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN are:
2 independent analogue 0-10 VDC outputs,
4 independent binary (relay) outputs,
2 independent fan coil functions, to control up to two fan coil units by
means of the above analogue and binary outputs.
4 multi-purpose inputs, each of them configurable as:
➢ Temperature probe,
➢ Binary input (i.e., pushbuttons, switches, sensors),
➢ Motion detector.
10 customisable, multi-operation logic functions.
2 independent thermostats.
Manual operation / supervision of the relay outputs and the 0-10 VDC
signals through the on-board pushbuttons and LEDs.

Master light control for and easy, out-of-the-box control of a set of
luminaires (or functionally equivalent devices) one of which acts as a general
lamp and the others as secondary lamps.
Heartbeat or periodical “still-alive” notification.
The MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN application program focuses on the control of fan coil
drives that consist of two or four pipes (each with its own open/close valve) and a fan
system whose speed is controlled through a 0 to 10 VDC analogue signal (more
voltage means more speed).

1.2 INSTALLATION
MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN connects to the KNX bus through the on-board KNX
connector.
Once the device is provided with power from the KNX bus, both the individual address
and the associated application program may be downloaded.
This device does not need any additional external power since it is entirely powered
through the KNX bus.
Figure 1 MAXinBOX FC 0-10V.
The main elements of the device are described next.
Test/Prog. pushbutton (8): a short press on this button sets the device into
the programming mode, making the associated LED (5) light in red.
Note: if this button is held while plugging the device into the KNX bus, the
device will enter into safe mode. In such case, the LED will blink in red every
0.5 seconds.
Outputs (2) and (6): output ports for the insertion of the stripped cables of
the systems being controlled by the actuator (see sections 2.3 and 2.4).
Please secure the connection by means of the on-board screws.

For detailed information about the technical features of the device and for safety
instructions and on the installation process, please refer to the Datasheet bundled with
the original packaging of the device and also available at www.zennio.com.
1.3 START-UP AND POWER LOSS
During the start-up of the device, the Test/Prog. LED will blink in blue colour for a few
seconds before MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN is ready. External orders will not be
executed during this time, but afterwards.
Depending on the configuration, some specific actions will also be performed during
the start-up. For example, the integrator can set whether the outputs should switch to a
particular state and whether the device should send certain objects to the bus after the
power recovery. Please consult the next sections of this document for further details.
On the other hand, when a bus power failure takes place, MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN
will interrupt any pending actions, and will save its state so it can be recovered once
the power supply is restored.

2 CONFIGURATION
After importing the corresponding database in ETS and adding the device into the
topology of the desired project, the configuration process begins by entering the
Parameters tab of the device.
2.1 GENERAL
The first parameterisable screen available by default is “General”. From this screen it is
possible to activate/deactivate all the required functionality.
ETS PARAMETERISATION
Figure 2 General screen.
Once activated, Inputs, Binary Outputs, 0-10V Analog Outputs, Fan Coils,
Logical Functions, Thermostats, Manual Control (enabled by default) and
Master Light bring additional tabs to the menu on the left. These functions
and their parameters will be explained in later sections of this document.
Sending of Indication Objects (0 and 1) on Bus Voltage Recovery: this
parameter lets the integrator activate two new communication objects (“Reset
0” and “Reset 1”), which will be sent to the KNX bus with values “0” and “1”
respectively whenever the device begins operation (for example, after a bus

power failure). It is possible to parameterise a certain delay for this sending
(0 to 255 seconds).
Figure 3. Sending of Indication objects on bus voltage recovery
Heartbeat (Periodical Alive Notification): this parameter lets the integrator
incorporate a one-bit object to the project (“[Heartbeat] Object to Send ‘1’”)
that will be sent periodically with value “1” to notify that the device is still
working (still alive).
Figure 4. Heartbeat (Periodical Alive Notification).
Note: The first sending after download or bus failure takes place with a delay
of up to 255 seconds, to prevent bus overload. The following sendings match
the period set.

2.2 INPUTS
MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN incorporates two analogue/digital inputs, each
configurable as a:
Binary Input, for the connection of a pushbutton or a switch/sensor.
Temperature Probe, to connect a temperature sensor from Zennio.
Motion Detector, to connect a motion detector (models ZN1IO-DETEC-P
and ZN1IO-DETEC-X from Zennio).
Important: Older models of the Zennio motion detector (e.g., ZN1IO-DETEC
and ZN1IO-DETEC-N) will not work properly with this device.
2.2.1 BINARY INPUT
Please refer to the “Binary Inputs” user manual, available under the MAXinBOX FC 010V FAN product section at www.zennio.com.
2.2.2 TEMPERATURE PROBE
Please refer to the “Temperature Probe” user manual, available under the MAXinBOX
FC 0-10V FAN product section at www.zennio.com.
Note: This device does not include support for custom NTC probes.
2.2.3 MOTION DETECTOR
It is possible to connect motion detectors (models ZN1IO-DETEC-P and ZN1IO-
DETEC-X from Zennio) to the input ports of MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN. This brings the
device with the possibility of monitoring motion and presence in the room, as well as
the light level. Depending on the detection, different response actions can be
parameterised.
Please refer to the “Motion Detector” user manual, available under the MAXinBOX FC
0-10V FAN product section at www.zennio.com, for detailed information about the
functionality and the configuration of the related parameters.

Notes:
The ZN1IO-DETEC-P motion detector is compatible with a variety of Zennio
devices. However, depending on the device it is actually being connected to,
the functionality may differ slightly. Therefore, please refer specifically to the
aforementioned user manual.
Motion detectors with references ZN1IO-DETEC and ZN1IO-DETEC-N are
not compatible with MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN (may report inaccurate
measurements if connected to this device).
When connected to MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN, the rear micro-switch of
model ZN1IO-DETEC-P should be set to position “Type B”.

2.3 BINARY OUTPUTS
MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN incorporates four binary outputs, each of which can be
enabled and configured in parameters independently.
Although in this device they are offered with the aim of controlling the gate valves of
the fan coil tubes (up to four), their parameterisation is similar to that of the individual
relay outputs of any other MAXinBOX actuators. Note that they all work
independently, although it is possible to group them as required (for example, to pen a
gate valve when another one closes) through joint group addresses and to configure
each of them as “normally open” or “normally closed”, to open / close its gate valve on
the reception of a “0” or of a “1”.
Practical usage examples of the different outputs and modules all together are offered
in “Annex I: Independence of the modules” of this user manual.
Please refer to the specific manual “Binary Outputs in MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN”
(available at the Zennio homepage, www.zennio.com) for detailed information.

2.4 0-10V ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
MAXinBOX FC 0-10V FAN incorporates two analogue voltage outputs that provide a
voltage signal in the range 0 to 10 VDC. This voltage will be in accordance to the
percentage values that are received through a specific communication object.
Each analogue output can be enabled or disabled in parameters, and is intended to
control the fan speed of one fan coil unit.
One on-board LED indicator is offered per output to show the status: it will remain off
while the output signal is 0V, and on while it is 10V. Under intermediate values, it will
blink with variable rates (according to the voltage).
ETS PARAMETERISATION
After enabling “0-10V Analog Outputs” in the General screen (see section 2.1), a new
tab will be incorporated into the tree on the left.
Figure 5 0-10V Analog Outputs - Configuration.
The two analogue outputs can be activated independently by marking the checkboxes.
This also brings new tabs to the tree.
