One System, Numerous PossibilitiesFC Control System for Heating Products
FC Control enables many smart and automated functions and allows you to optimise your comfort with minimum effort, customised to your specific needs. Today, different Frico product groups such as air curtains, fan heaters, radiant heaters and convectors can be installed in the same system, with great benefits.

Smart Functions for Energy-Efficient Heating
The FC system has many smart and energy-saving functions, including adaptive start, weekly program and open window detection.
Heaters can be grouped for local control and supplemented with sensors for precise regulation. In addition, the system can be expanded with accessories for further energy savings.

Smart temperature-based output control
The temperature-controlled output regulation (periodised; PI control) is a stepless control that precisely adapts the energy output to the current demand.
){kind=icon}
Open window detection
Airing mode, which saves energy, e.g. when windows are open. If the temperature suddenly drops, the heating is reduced to 10 °C for 15 minutes and then automatically returns to the previous setting.
){kind=icon}
Easy set-up and operation
The system automatically detects any products or sensors that are connected to it and immediately becomes functional. If anything is removed, a notification is sent out, and the system remains operational according to the new conditions.

Create groups
Heaters can be grouped, sharing a common setpoint. Each group can have its own local sensors to control one or more units based on the current conditions. This allows local temperature control and optimal comfort in different areas of the facility.
One FCPOBH is used per group.

Adaptive start
The adaptive start function allows the control to learn when it needs to start in order to attain a given set point temperature at a given time of the day in the environment in which it is used.

Automatic heat blocking
To avoid unnecessary heating, the system automatically blocks any additional heat when the outdoor temperature reaches a given value (15°C by default).
Additional Features with Accessories
){kind=icon}
Create zones
Available with FCLAP and additional control systems (FC111/113).
With the zone function, multiple heaters can be grouped with separate setpoints. Specific sensors can be connected to different units, and the grouping is easily managed in the Frico Control app.

The right temperature at the right time
Available with FCLAP
Create custom weekly schedules, activate the away timer or use the boost function for temporary extra heating – all directly in the app. With a presence sensor connected via the universal input, the heating is automatically adjusted when someone is present.
){kind=icon}
Optimal heating comfort
Available with FCBB/FCBBRF
A black bulb sensor measures the operative temperature, i.e. the perceived temperature from radiant heat, ensuring the heater delivers exactly the amount of heat needed for a comfortable indoor climate while saving energy.
){kind=icon}
Modbus/0–10 V connection
Available with FCBAP
With the FCBAP accessory, the FC system can be connected to a higher-level control system (BMS) for monitoring and control. Communication is carried out via analogue 0–10 V signals, potential-free contacts, or Modbus RTU (RS485).
