3 Equipment description
The MD15-CFL-902 is a small, radio-controlled
actuator with a lifetime battery charge for room
temperature control.
The radio small actuator for thermostatic
valves is mounted directly onto the standard
radiator valves. The radio small actuator is
used for room-specific temperature regulation
in heating systems.
The actuator is radio-controlled based on the
non-proprietary EnOcean radio protocol.
3.1 Components
01 Union nut Used to fasten the MD15-CFL-902 to the radia-
tor valve.
02 Alignment marking The marking moves in the direction of the radio
small actuator during adjustment.

messages arise, carry out the actions described in the section “System malfunctions” on
page 10.
4.2 Cleaning
The MD15-CFL-902 radio small actuator should be cleaned as necessary. There is no
prescribed cleaning interval.

5 System malfunctions
5.1 Battery monitoring
The battery level is continuously monitored. If the battery level is too low, a radio signal
is transmitted to the radio partner and 2 acoustic signal tones are emitted in succession
every 6 hours. If this message is active, the remaining battery level is < 5%.
NOTE
You must replace the device within the next 3 months.
See chapter 5.3.1 "Replacing the MD15-CFL-902", page 10.
As the battery level decreases, the interval between the acoustic signals becomes
shorter. The number of signal tones increases to 4 x 1 signal tones every 3 hours.
If the remaining battery level is insufficient to maintain motorized operation, the actuator
moves to the safety position of 50%.
Radio communication with the radio partner still functions in this operating state.
5.2 Malfunction messages
Malfunction messages are not automatically displayed. These messages are transmitted
via radio to the room control module or a read-out device.
NOTE
If the communication with the radio partner is disrupted, the “emergency mode” status bit
(self-controlled mode) is set (and can be evaluated for service diagnostics).
After the malfunction has been rectified (see the documentation of the radio partner), the
radio partner is automatically resynchronized.
5.3 Rectifying malfunctions
5.3.1 Replacing the MD15-CFL-902
The MD15-CFL-902 has a lifetime battery charge.
If the battery level of the device is too low, observe the following:
►Replace the entire device.

6.1 Compliance statement
Compliance statement
This device complies with section 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
Modifications not expressly approved by this company could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signal
The radio device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limit for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the OET
Bulletin 56 Supplement C in the USA and by the Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety
Code 6 in Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and established
permitted levels of RF energy population. These guidelines are based on the safety stan-
dards previously set by international standard bodies. These standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of their
ages and health.
This device and its antenna may not be located too close to or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device is capable of compliance with localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for
uncontrolled environment/general public exposure limits specific in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures spec-
ified in IEEE Std. 1528-2003 December 2003.
Class A digital device or peripheral
The MD15-CFL-902 is a digital device that is marketed for use in a commercial, industrial
or business environment, exclusive of a device which is marketed for use by the general
public or intended to be used in the home.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital
device, pursuant to section 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the function manual,
may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.
