NIBE - Wired connection - Multi-zone heating/cooling

What do you need?


In short

Extra information

General

  • Specific electrical wiring is required.



Your Niko Home Control installation meets the following requirements:

  • It has a connected controller II.

  • It is configured with the most recent programming software (version 2.17 or higher).

You need the following if you want to use the Niko Home control multi-zone thermostat control:

  • a switching module for Niko Home Control (550-00103 or 550-00106) with at least one free output

  • a digital potential-free sensor module for Niko Home Control (550-00210) with at least one free input

  • a heating or cooling module for Niko Home Control (550-00150) (per four zones, an extra module is needed)

  • one thermostat per zone:

    • a Digital black, 24 V (550-1800X)

    • a push button with LED(s) and comfort sensors

Your partner system meets the following requirements:

  • It is a NIBE F- or S-series heat pump system.

The partner system has to be configured to enable correct heating/cooling contact use.


Wiring diagrams for multi-zone heating/cooling

The below table shows several options on how you can use Niko Home Control with your NIBE system and enable Niko routines (solar and peak mode).

Assign one auxiliary output as 'release heating' via the control module:

  • F-series: via menu 5.4

  • S-series: via menu 7.4.

Configure the heat pump to auto mode to enable this set-up:

  • F-series: via menu 4.9.2

  • S-series: via menu 4.1

  • No direct connection needs to be made with the heat pump.

  • Only multi-zone valve control is required.

The heat pump switches between heating and cooling depending on the weather. The Niko Home Control push buttons with LED(s) and comfort sensors must be forced/blocked in the relevant mode via the digital potential-free sensor module for Niko Home Control (550-00210). 
Configure the heat pump to auto mode to enable this set-up:

  • F-series: via menu 4.9.2

  • S-series: via menu 4.1

  • The auxiliary contacts provide the signal from the heat pump to the Niko Home Control installation to switch from heating to cooling mode and vice versa.

Assign two auxiliary outputs as 'activate cooling (N.C.)/activate heating (N.O.)' via the control module:

  • F-series: via menu 5.4

  • S-series: via menu 7.4.

Configure the heat pump to auto mode to enable this set-up:

  • F-series: via menu 4.9.2

  • S-series: via menu 4.1

  • The heat pump's auxiliary contacts capture the signal from the Niko Home Control installation to switch from heating to cooling mode and vice versa.
    One auxiliary contact can be programmed to block the heating, while another blocks the cooling. Note that if an auxiliary contact is closed, its function is disabled.
    Five to nine auxiliary contacts are available depending on the heat pump series (F or S).
