3.2. Function overview 
•  5 controllable temperature zones, extendable to 8 
•  Up to 3 thermal actuators can be connected per zone 
•  Normally open and normally closed thermal actuators 
can be used 
•  Integrated pump relay 
•  Boiler feedback 
  – Analog (only HCE 80/HCC 80) 
  – Integrated relay with floating contact 42 V AC/DC 
     (only at HCE 80R/HCC 80R) 
  – Wireless via relay HC60NG/R6660D 
•  Underfloor heating controller can be switched between 
heating and cooling 
•  1 antenna can be used for 3 controllers 
•  Internal or external antenna can be used 
•  Rapid mounting by screwless terminals of the thermal 
actuators 
•  Intelligent controlling via fuzzy logic 
•  Simple diagnosis of the wireless transmission 
•  Operating state display via LEDs 
 
4. Creating a zoning plan 
Within a building rooms (zones) can be controlled with dif-
ferent room setpoint temperatures. The thermal actuators of 
the allocated zone (room) are controlled depending on the 
room setpoint temperature. 
 
 
A maximum of 5 temperature zones can be set 
for each underfloor heating controller. This num-
ber can be increased to 8 by using the expansion 
module HCS 80. 
A maximum of 3 actuators can be connected in 
each zone.

4.1.  Specifying temperature zones 
► Specify the number of zones and corresponding rooms. 
► Allocate the corresponding room device, for example 
HCW 82, CM67z, and the required thermal actuators to 
each zone. 
► Label the room devices and thermal drives for the respec-
tive zone (refer to the fold-out page Fig. 4, Z1...Z8). 
 
4.1.1.  Example of zone divisions 
living room
dining room
kitchen
hall
bedroom
bathroom
toilet
 
Explanation of this example: 
•  The living area is covered by six temperature zones. The 
additional module HCS 80 is required for this parti-
tioning. 
•  The underfloor heating controller controls 8 actuators. 
 
5. Installation 
 
WARNING 
 
Insufficient data transfer! 
Interference of the radio receiver in the 
device through metallic objects and 
further radio devices. 
► When selecting the operating site 
ensure that the distance to radio de-
vices such as radio headphones, 
cordless phones, etc. according to 
the DECT standard amounts to at 
least 1 m. 
► Ensure that there is sufficient dis-
tance to metallic objects. 
► Select another installation site if the 
radio interference cannot be rectified. 
 
 
WARNING 
 
Damage to the underfloor heating 
controller! 
Short-circuiting through humidity and 
moisture. 
► Mount the device at a site that is 
protected against humidity and mois-
ture. 
 
The underfloor heating controller was designed for installa-
tion in a distributor box. If insufficient space is available, 
select an area where the underfloor heating controller can 
communicate with the setpoint adjusters by radio without 
interference and that is protected from moisture and water. 
 
The underfloor heating controller can be installed in one of 2 
ways: 
•  Wall installation 
•  DIN rail installation
