Application Selection Guidance

✅ Choose RLE162 if you need:

Dual modulating valves (primary heating valve + secondary mixing valve, Heizung + cooling split range control)

Domestic hot water with legionella disinfection

On-pipe installation without cabinet wiring

Weather-compensated supply temperature control for plate heat exchangers

✅ Choose RLE132 if you only need 3-position floating electric valves (on/off/open-close), no continuous 0~10V regulation.

✅ Choose RWD68 if:

You require visible LCD parameters, pressure/humidity monitoring, or only a single analogue output

Controller will be installed inside a control cabinet

❌ Not suitable for RLE162:

Single-valve only applications (use RWD68 for lower cost)

3-position floating valve control (select RLE132)

Druck, differential pressure or humidity measurement (use RWD68)

BMS/BA network communication (requires full DDC controller)

Duct or room temperature control (RLM162 / RLA162)

Typical Application List

1. Domestic hot water storage tank with legionella disinfection (Hotels, Krankenhäuser, dormitories) ✔
2. Plate heat exchanger secondary supply temperature with weather compensation + dual valve control ✔
3. AHU heating & cooling coil split-range modulation (heat valve + cold valve) ✔
4. Chilled water secondary circuit constant temperature + low-temperature anti-freeze protection ✔
5. High-temperature mixing circuits for underfloor heating ✔
6. Local retrofit projects on building heat metering branches ✔

Full RL…100 Series Model List (All-in-One Local Controllers, RLE162’s Family)

1) Immersion Pipe Type (RLE series, built-in immersion probe, IP65)

2) Duct Mount Type (RLM series, built-in air duct sensor)

3) Wall-mounted Room Type (RLA series, indoor temperature control)

Series Unified Specifications

AC24V power, built-in LG-Ni1000 temperature sensor, local rotary knob setpoint, no LCD display, DIP switch programming, stand-alone operation without field bus, IP65 (RLE/RLM), IP30 (RLA).

RWD Series (Cabinet DIN-Rail Controllers, Not Part of RL…100 Series)

RWD62 / RWD68 / RWD82 are DIN rail mount controllers without built-in sensors; external temperature probes must be wired separately. Do not mix them up with the RLE/RLA/RLM all-in-one range.

Modellbenennungsregel (RL…100 Series)

1. Prefix Letter:

RLE = Immersion (pipe immersion mounting)

RLM = Duct (air duct mounting)

RLA = Room (indoor wall mounting)

2. Numerical Suffix:

127: 2-position switch + differential temperature control

132: 3-point floating switch output

162: Dual DC 0~10V continuous analogue outputs (top configuration in this series)

Einstellung & Ersatzoptionen

1. RLE162, RLE132, RLE127, RLM162, RLA162 are legacy Synco100 products, production is gradually reduced, only stock available.
2. Replacement solutions:

Keep original pipe-mounted all-in-one design: Continue purchasing stock of the same model.

Migrate to cabinet centralized control: Use RWD68 + QAE21 immersion temperature sensor (only single 0~10V output; dual-AO capability is lost).

Typische Verkabelungslogik

Stromversorgung: AC24V

AO1 / AO2 → 0~10V modulating electric control valves

Relay DO → Circulating pump / Fehleralarm

External Ni1000 (QAC22) → Outdoor temperature compensation

Dry contact DI → Time switch / eco setpoint switchover

Leitfaden zur Fehlerbehebung

1. Keine Ausgabe: Überprüfen Sie die AC24V-Stromversorgung; confirm DIP switch mode matches heating/cooling setting.
2. Incorrect temperature reading: Check probe fouling and installation location (install in steady flow area, avoid turbulent zones).
3. Actuator fails to move: Measure DC 0~10V signal to isolate controller fault vs actuator fault.
4. Relay not pulling in: Überlaststrom (>2A) or loose terminal wiring.
