Specifications sourced from Prolon datasheet PL-DATA-M2000FCU-C/F-EN, REV 7.4.0. Verified September 18, 2026.
Overview
The M2000 FCU controls 2-pipe and 4-pipe hydronic fan coil units from a single space temperature sensor. On 2-pipe systems it changes over automatically between heating and cooling based on water temperature, and it runs automatic purge cycles to verify water temperature and prevent stagnation in the coils. Valves can be driven on/off or modulating, with a separate on/off or PWM modulating auxiliary heat output, and multi-speed fan control. Zone demand data is shared when the controller is connected to a Prolon network.
Best For
- 2-pipe and 4-pipe fan coil units controlled from one space temperature sensor
- 2-pipe buildings that need automatic seasonal changeover at the unit
- Fan coils with a secondary or backup electric heat stage
- Hydronic zones that need coil purge cycles to prevent stagnation

Frequently Asked Questions
How many inputs does the PL-M2000-FCU have?
8 configurable universal inputs. They cover outside temp, hot and cold-water supply temps, supply air, leak alarm, proof of fan, room setpoint, zone temperature, and an alarm input.
What input signal types does the PL-M2000-FCU accept?
10k-3 thermistor and dry contact signals.
Does the PL-M2000-FCU handle 2-pipe changeover?
Yes. On 2-pipe systems it changes over automatically between heating and cooling, and it runs automatic purge cycles to verify water temperature and prevent stagnation in the coils.
Can the PL-M2000-FCU control auxiliary heat?
Yes. A separate auxiliary heat output is available and can be driven on/off or as a modulating PWM output, independent of the heating and cooling valve outputs.
What outputs does the PL-M2000-FCU provide?
5 triac digital outputs rated 10-30 VAC source, 300 mA max with a self-resetting fuse, plus 3 analog outputs at 0-10 VDC, 40 mA max with a self-resetting fuse.
