5. Operating modes 5.1 Low-fire operation Low-fire operation means that only small amounts of heat are drawn from the boiler. A 2- position controller maintains the setpoint, switching the burner on and off like a thermostat. This mode of control is known as the thermostat function. An adjustable switching Thermostat function differential ensures that the burner’s witching frequency can be selected, aimed at reducing wear.
5. Operating modes 5.2.2 Modulating burner, analog output In diagram area (1), the thermostat function is active. In area (2), the controller maintains the adjusted setpoint. 7865w05/1099 HYS3 HYS1 100% The positioning signal is delivered as a standard signal via the analog output. The modulating controller must be available and configured in the unit (optional).
5. Operating modes 5.2.4 2-stage burner, analog output In this case, a standard binary signal switches the second stage into circuit with analog output «X1» on reaching the switch-on threshold «HYS1» and switches it out of circuit at the lower switch-off threshold «HYS2». 7865w04/1099 HYS3 HYS2...
5. Operating modes 5.5 Weather-dependent setpoint shift The RWF40... can be configured such that if an outside sensor with an LG-Ni1000 sensing element (e.g. QAC22) is used, a weather-dependent setpoint shift will be implemented. The minimum and maximum setpoint values can be set by the lower setpoint limit «SPL»...
5. Operating modes 5.5.1 Heating curve slope Slope «H» of the heating curve can be used to adjust the setpoint in response to the outside temperature, as shown in the diagram. The common origin of the heating curves is set at (20 °C / 20 °C). The effective range of the weather-dependent setpoint is restricted by the setpoint limits «SPH»...
5. Operating modes 5.6 Response threshold «Q» The response threshold «Q» defines for how long and how low the actual value is allowed to drop before the system switches to high-fire operation. An internal mathematical calculation using an integration function determines the sum of all the areas Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3, as shown in the diagram.
5. Operating modes 5.7 Cold start of the plant When a heating system is switched off for a longer period of time, the actual value will drop of course. To achieve a faster control response, the controller immediately starts in high-fire operation as soon as the control deviation (x-w) drops below a certain limit value.
6. Operation Assignment of levels All levels can be accessed from the basic display via the button, as shown in the diagram. The upper actual value display (red) shows the actual value and the parameter values for the various levels. The setpoint and parameters are shown in the lower section of the display (green).
6. Operation 6.1 Basic display The diagram shows the RWF40... after switching power on. This condition is called the basic display. The actual value and the currently active setpoint are shown here. Manual operation, self-setting, the user, parameter and configuration levels can be activated from here.
6. Operation Initialization All displays light up. The setpoint display flashes for about 10 seconds after switching power on. Manual operation The upper display shows the actual value. The LED for manual operation is on. Depending on the operating mode and the type of controller, the setpoint or the level of the manual actuator position is shown on the setpoint display (green).

8. Configuration 8.3.12 «oLLo» lower working range limit (only with RWF40.0X2B97) The lower working range limit limits the control range in the downward direction. This limitation is independent of the setpoint adjustment and hysteresis 1. If switch-on threshold «SP + Hyst1 < oLLo» falls below the lower working range limit, the switch-on threshold will be replaced by the lower working range limit.
9. Self-setting function 9.1 Self-setting function in high-fire operation «tunE» is only possible in high-fire operation, in the «modulating burner» mode. The self-setting function «tunE» is a proper software function unit that is integrated into the controller. In the «modulating» mode, «tunE» tests the response of the controlled system to steps of the positioning signal according to a special procedure.
