3 Safety
Correct use
FAM-RD is used as part of X-AIRCONTROL for
radio-based data transmission through ducting.
The data is transmitted in two directions between
zone module and zone master.
Safety
X-AIRCONTROL FAM-RD 7
Correct use requires that both the transmitter
module and the receiver module are placed in the
same duct system, i.e. either in the supply air duct
or in the extract air duct. FAM-RD must not be used
outdoors.
Residual risks
A power failure will interrupt data transmission. If a
system has to be highly reliable and available, you
should take backup measures to prevent problems
in case of a power failure.
Also, the radio communication between the various
nodes of an X-AIRCONTROL system can be inter-
rupted by interference. This, too, may lead to trans-
mission losses.
If a system has to be highly reliable and available, a
wired connection is the better option for data trans-
mission.
Incorrect use
Do not use the product for areas of application that
are not described in this manual.
Do not use the product:
outdoors
in wet areas
in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
Dangers and risks
NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property due to large tem-
perature differences
If any electronic components have been kept in
an unheated area, condensation may form and
damage the electronic components beyond
repair.
– Before you start commissioning, make sure
that all devices have warmed up to the
ambient temperature. Only after about
2 hours will the system have reached
ambient temperature.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property due to foreign
matter and liquids!
Foreign matter and liquids that get into the unit
may damage the electronic parts.
– Remove foreign matter, if any.
– If the device emits a smell or smoke, have it
checked by the manufacturer.
– If liquid gets into the module, let the module
completely dry before commissioning.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property!
Over tightening the fixing screws may damage
the device.
– Tighten the screws only finger-tight.

5 Parts and function
Functional description
FAM-RD is used for two-way radio-based data
transmission through ducting, specifically between:
zone master (ZMA) and zone module (ZMO)
zone module (ZMO) and zone module (ZMO)
Fig. 3: Two-way data transmission via radio link
through ducting
The system uses all the nodes of a network to route
data to its destination.
This is why it is an advantage to have as many
nodes (devices) as possible in a network. Each
node in the RadioDuct network forwards the data
packets it receives from other nodes so that the
packets eventually reach their destination. The net-
work always tries to find the most efficient route.
Such networks are called mesh networks. The con-
Delivery and storage
X-AIRCONTROL FAM-RD 9
nection between the RadioDuct slaves (which are
connected to the zone modules) and the RadioDuct
master (which is connected to the zone master) is
made with a simple procedure using the service
tool.
Security
Radio communication across the entire system is
encrypted and authenticated according to the
AES-128 method. This technology provides high
data security and meets the requirements of the rel-
evant data protection standards.
The transmission output power is adapted to the
transmission distance, 100 mW max. So the system
meets the radio standards applicable to the
2.4 GHz band.
The RadioDuct module allows for frequency hop-
ping to reduce interference caused by other radio
transmitters in the same frequency band. The sys-
tems keeps changing, or hopping, to the radio
channel with the least interference.
Installation example 1
Fig. 4: Radio transmission between zone master
and zone module 1
The connection between the first zone module and
the zone master is made with one FAM-RD at each
end of the transmission route. The zone modules
are interconnected by cables.
Installation example 2
Fig. 5: Radio transmission between zone module 1
and zone module 2
The connection between the first zone module and
the second zone module is made with one FAM-RD
at each end of the transmission route. Zone
module 1 and the zone master as well as zone
modules 2 and 3 are interconnected by cables.

6 Installation
General installation information
Fig. 6: Positioning
Please note:
All modules that should communicate via radio
have to be installed in the same duct system,
i.e. either in the supply air duct or in the extract
air duct.
Place the antenna at least 1 m away from con-
trol dampers, shut-off dampers and measuring
devices.
The distance between the RadioDuct module
and the antenna must not exceed 40 cm.
The distance between the RadioDuct module
and ZMA / ZMO must not exceed 30 m.
Fix the antenna in the middle of the duct wall
(applies to rectangular ducts).

8 Commissioning
General
Commissioning
RadioDuct module commissioning and radio link
setup are part of commissioning of the X-AIR-
CONTROL single room control system and are
carried out by the HVAC contractor, the system
owner or the TROX Technical Service.
Commissioning requires that the ‘RadioDuct Config
Tool’ configuration software is installed on a PC.
Once the software has been enabled, the PC can
communicate with FAM-RDs. The configuration
software is not only used for commissioning, it also
includes functions for diagnosis and for saving the
settings. To make a connection to the PC, you need
one of the following components:
Configuration cable: EasyConnect-CAB
Fig. 17: EasyConnect-CAB
1 PC (by others)
2 USB–RS485 and connecting cable (for a wired
connection)

assigned the zone modul a correct address,
see the segmented display of the X-AIR-
CONTROL zone module Ä ‘X-
AIRCONTROL commissioning and service
manual’ .

X-AIRCONTROL FAM-RD16
Mesh repeater – network setup
If a connection tends to fail of if a connection from a
network node (device) to the master has a poor
signal quality, a repeater is required in the transmis-
sion path. A repeater is just another node in the
mesh network; it receives a signal and amplifies it
before forwarding it.
1. Connect your PC with the module. To do so,
plug the configuration cable (yellow) into
port Service/T1, then start the configuration
software.
For connections with a Bluetooth
adapter module:
Make the connection according to the
instructions supplied.
2. Press the [Push Service] (Fig. 19/1) button
on the module for 2 seconds to activate port
Service/T1.

Commissioning X-AIRCONTROL
After all FAM-RDs have been successfully commis-
sioned, X-AIRCONTROL has to be commissioned
Ä ‘X-AIRCONTROL commissioning and service
manual’ .
Using RadioDuct requires that you set a timeout in
the X-AIRCONTROL master.
You can enter it under ‘Settings
è MODBUS Timeout’ (requires special user
access rights).
You can adjust the timeout (Modbus timeout) to the
actual conditions according to the following exam-
