Description
Introduction
The ABB Caldion® Room Temperature Controller (SKU: CAR/U4.2.1.1-71, Product ID: 2TAZ741010R2001) is a specialized HVAC control solution engineered for fan coil unit (FCU) systems. Designed for flush-mounting in standard British Standard (BS) flush boxes, this black frameless controller features a capacitive touch interface and a large display for intuitive room climate management. Operating either as a standalone device or integrated into a KNX system via its built-in bus coupling unit, it offers flexible deployment options for commercial and residential automation projects. This device is part of our KNX panel products range.

Compatible with 2-pipe, 2-pipe with electric heater, and 4-pipe fan coil configurations, the CAR/U4.2.1.1-71 provides direct control over 0-10V or on/off valves along with 3-speed fan control. Additionally, the unit features an integrated temperature sensor and two binary inputs designed for monitored parameters such as window contacts, dewpoint sensors, and condensate alarms.
