Installation Guidelines:
- Mount at 1.5m height (seated head level)
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Avoid near heat sources (radiators, lamps)
- Avoid near air vents
- Allow air circulation around sensor
Enhanced Environmental Monitoring:
The MTN683901 adds humidity measurement for comprehensive climate control:
Humidity Sensor Specifications:
- Type: Capacitive polymer sensor
- Range: 0-95% relative humidity
- Accuracy: ±2% RH (10-90% RH)
- Response time: 30 seconds (63% of step)
- Long-term stability: <0.5% RH per year
Calculated Values:
- Dew point temperature
- Absolute humidity
- Enthalpy
- Comfort index (PMV/PPD)
Applications:
Museum and Gallery:
- Maintain 50±5% RH for artifact preservation
- Prevent condensation on cold surfaces
- Monitor seasonal changes
Swimming Pool Areas:
- Control ventilation based on humidity
- Prevent mold and corrosion
- Optimize energy recovery
Clean Rooms:
- Monitor critical humidity levels
- Alarm on deviation
- Data logging for compliance
Dedicated FCU Control:
The MTN684032 provides complete control of 2-pipe or 4-pipe fan coil units:
Output Configuration:
- Fan: 3-speed (high/medium/low) or 0-10V continuous
- Valve: 2-point or PWM heating
- Valve: 2-point or PWM cooling (4-pipe)
- Auxiliary: Electric heater stage
Control Modes:
| Mode | Description | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling only | Valve + fan for cooling | Summer operation |
| Heating only | Valve + fan for heating | Winter operation |
| Auto changeover | Automatic mode switch | Transition seasons |
| Fan only | Ventilation without conditioning | Free cooling |
| Off | All outputs disabled | Unoccupied |
Energy Optimization:
- Fan speed follows valve opening (not independent)
- Minimum run time prevents short cycling
- Setback temperature when unoccupied
- Window contact disables conditioning
Variable Air Volume Control:
The MTN684064 manages air flow in VAV boxes for zoned HVAC systems:
Measurement:
- Differential pressure: 0-500 Pa
- Air flow calculation: Based on K-factor
- Temperature: Supply and room air
- Damper position: 0-100% feedback
Control Functions:
- Constant volume: Maintain set flow rate
- Constant temperature: Maintain set room temp
- Dual maximum: Limit both flow and temp
- Night purge: Free cooling with outside air
Pressure Independence: The MTN684064 maintains set flow regardless of duct pressure variations:
- Measures actual flow via pressure drop
- Adjusts damper to compensate
- Stable room conditions despite system changes
Flexible Integration:
The MTN689701 bridges non-KNX devices with KNX systems:
Input Configuration:
- 4* analog inputs: 0-10V, 4-20mA, NTC, dry contact
- 2* digital inputs: Potential-free contacts
- Resolution: 10-bit (1024 steps)
- Update rate: 100ms
Output Configuration:
- 2* analog outputs: 0-10V, max 10mA
- 2* relay outputs: 10A/250V AC
- PWM output: For LED dimming or valve control
