Siemens Synco 900 system. When using products of other manufacture not specified by Siemens, functionality must be ensured by the user. In that case, Siemens will not render any services and will not provide any warranty 8/76...
System overview System functions The Synco 900 system offers you a host of choices. In addition to room climate and DHW heating control, the system enables you to control lights and blinds and to monitor fire detectors and door / window contacts.
Release of ventilation Relays can be used to enable or disable ventilation stages. Venti- lation is enabled with the help of switching groups. 10/76 Building Technologies Synco 900 Operating Instructions CE1B2707en HVAC Products System overview 19.07.2006...
The light settings and blind positions can be jointly stored as a scene or jointly readjusted when calling up a scene. 11/76 Building Technologies Synco 900 Operating Instructions CE1B2707en HVAC Products System overview 19.07.2006...
Prerequisite for this operation is that the light and blind actua- tors used have a binding facility for KNX-RF (Siemens GAMMA wave or Hager tebis TX Funk) or KNX TP1. Supervisory functions The central apartment unit monitors the connected window contacts, door contacts and smoke detectors.
System components The following components can be used in the Synco 900 system or can be combined with it: Synco QAX910 Central apartment unit QAW910 Room unit QAA910 Room temperature sensor QAC910 Meteo sensor RRV918 Heating circuit controller, controls up to eight 2-position...
