Zones are the basic element of the REG System and it can manage a maximum of 32 zones. Without Zone, Dehumidifiers, Circuits, and consequently Source cannot be activated.
...
A Circuit, when the zone is activated to heat and/or cool.
A Dehumidifier, when the zone detects that dehumidification is required.
Another Dehumidifier (which in most cases is the same as the previous point), when the zone detects that it is necessary to integrate the heating/cooling function.
...
Note
In a radiant system, each room of the system equipped with a sensor (temperature or temperature + humidity) is managed by a Zone.
...
In a bathroom, the same sensor can control both the radiant floor and a towel heater; in this case, we should configure TWO zones, which use the same sensor.
...
In a mixed system, the same sensor can control the radiant floor in winter and a fan coil in summer; even in this case we should configure TWO zones, which are based on the same sensor.
A zone could NOT be associated with any sensor, for example:
In a bathroom the towel heater may be switched on at certain times, regardless of the sensor reading in the room.
A zone could be used to control the change of air: even in this case the switching on could be timed and not take any sensor into account (see CMV FUNCTION WITH TIMETABLE AND/OR VOC SENSOR).
...
3 Zones must be set up, each corresponding to a circuit.
A Circuit must be associated with each zone, every circuit must have a sensor to control the Flow Temperature (see SET POINT AND SENSORS SETTINGS of the Circuits).
As regards the activation of the zones (or rather, circuits), associate each one with its own timetable to determine the operating status and do not set zone sensor, so that if the timetable is active, the corresponding zone is automatically active.
It is possible to associate an activation/enabling signal (classic room Thermostat)
Associate to the direct circuit the operation of 1 water pump.
Associate to each one of mixed circuit the control of 1 water pump and 1 mixing valve (see WATER PUMPS AND MIXING VALVES SETTINGS)

Descrizione Zona
Ad ogni Zona è assegnata una Descrizione (vedere DESCRIPTIONS), cioè un breve testo (massimo 16 caratteri) che permetta di identificare agevolmente la funzione della Zona, impostabile nella Pagina Zone - Configurazione Zona /1.
Solitamente la descrizione viene associata ad:
un ambiente (Cucina, Salotto, Camera, ecc..)
un Circuito (Miscelato 1, Diretto, Alta Temperatura, ecc..)
un'utenza particolare (Scaldasalviette, Integrazione, Termoarredo, ecc..)
È inoltre possibile non associare nessuna descrizione, in questo modo la zona non verrà visualizzata sul Display REG-TFT o REG-DOT-B; solitamente questa operazione viene effettuata per tutte quelle zone che non si desidera far vedere all'utente finale (ad esempio zone utilizzate come integrazioni negli impianti di raffrescamento).
Le zone senza descrizione non sono visualizzate neanche in telegestione!
Attenzione
Su impianti molto complessi non associare descrizioni alle Zone potrebbe essere fonte di fraintendimenti e complicazioni durante l’assistenze. Quindi sempre meglio assegnare un nome.
Poi se non si vuole visualizzare alcune zone sui display o in telegestione allora dalla sottopagina Configurazione Zona/3:
...
come per gli orologi, è possibile spuntando uno dei due quadratini bianchi sotto Nascondi su TFT/DOT nascondere la zona sul display 1 o sul display 2 (ad esempio se il display 1 è nella zona giorno e il 2 nella zona notte, le zone della zona giorno si possono nascondere dal display 2 e quelle della zona notte dal display 1). Se si spuntano entrambi i quadratini pur avendo una descrizione associata la zona non sarà visualizzata su nessuna interfaccia (display, app, web), ma solo da RegConfig o direttamente dal REG-DIN-8.
Pagina Zone
La pagina Zone è quella più articolata, ha addirittura 4 sottopagine:
Configurazione Zona/1
Configurazione Zona/2
Configurazione Zona/3
Parametri Zona
...
Le sottopagine più utilizzate e con più parametri significativi sono Configurazione/1 e Parametri Zona.
Le altre due sottopagine hanno soprattutto funzioni speciali da usare in casi particolari.
Dalla Pagina Configurazione Zona/2 si può accedere all’utilizzo:
del Segnale Forza Comfort (vedere https://setecna.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBDOCS/pages/3258778805)
della compensazione ambiente (vedere https://setecna.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBDOCS/pages/3258779433)
della modalità Antigelo per le Zone (vedere https://setecna.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBDOCS/pages/3258778720)
delle Zone collegate (vedere https://setecna.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBDOCS/pages/3258778664)
...
Dalla Pagina Configurazione Zona/3 si può accedere all’utilizzo:
delle zone in regime speciale (vedere https://setecna.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBDOCS/pages/3258778692)
della funzione Surplus fotovoltaico (vedere SURPLUS FUNCTION)
della funzione Economy per i deumidificatori (vedere https://setecna.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBDOCS/pages/3258779110)
...
Zone Description
To each Zone is assigned a Description (see DESCRIPTIONS), that is a short text (maximum 16 characters), that easily allows to identify the function of the Zone, which can be set in the Zone Page – Configuration Zone/1.
Usually the description is associated with:
A room (Kitchen, Living room, Room, etc...)
A Circuit (Mixed 1, Direct, High Temperature, etc...)
A particular user (towel heater, Integration, panel radiator, etc...)
It is also possible not to associate any description, in this way the zone will not be shown on the REG-TFT or REG-DOT-B display; this operation is usually carried out for all those zones that you do not want the end user to see (for example, zones used as integration in cooling system).
Zones without description are not displayed even in remote control!
Warning
On very complex system, not assigning descriptions to Zones may lead to misunderstandings and complications during assistance. Therefore, it is always better to assign a name.
Then, if you do not want to show any zones on the displays or in remote control, from Configuration Zone/3 sub page:
...
As with timetable, it is possible, by ticking one of the two white boxes under Hide on TFT/DOT, to hide the zone on display 1 or on display 2 (for example, if the display 1 is in the day zone and 2 in the night zone, the zones in the day zone can be hidden from display 2 and zones of the night zone from display 1). If you tick both boxes while having an associated description, the zone will not be shown on any interface (display, app, web), but you can see it only from RegConfig or directly from REG-DIN-8.
Zones Page
Zones page is the most elaborate one, it even has 4 sub pages:
Configuration Zone/1
Configuration Zone/2
Configuration Zone/3
Zone Parameters
...
The most frequently used sub pages with the most significant parameters are Configuration/1 and Parameters Zone.
The other two have mainly special functions to be used in special cases.
From the Configuration Zone/2, you can access the use of:
The Force Comfort Signal (See USING THE FORCE CONTROL SIGNAL)
Room compensation (see AMBIENT COMPENSATION)
Antifreeze mode for the Zones (see ZONES IN ANTIFREEZE MODE)
The connected zones (see CONNECTED ZONES)
...
From the Configuration Zone/3, you can access to the below functions:
Zoned in special work mode (see ZONES IN SPECIAL WORK MODE)
Photovoltaic Surplus function (see SURPLUS FUNCTION)
Economy function for dehumidifiers (see ECONOMY FUNCTION FOR THE DEHUMIDIFIERS)
...
To create a zone, simply switch the Timetable drop-down menu from NC (Not Configured) to:
COMFORT
ECONOMY
OFF
