Room operating unit EGS52/15 allows you to switch over the controller's mode remotely. Room operating unit EDB100 can also be connected via the device bus and used to switch the mode over. The mode on the EQJW145 can also be changed using a control station via Modbus. In case of contradictory commands, the following priority applies: direct settings on EQJW145 have priority 1.

EQJW145: Heating controller Commissioning A limit value of between 16 and 60 pulses / minute cannot be entered because the measurement accuracy required for control is no longer available in this range. If a value in the range from 60 to 16,000 has been...
Page 32
EQJW145: Heating controller Commissioning Maximum permitted DHW temperature SP35 This SERVice parameter is used to impose an upper limit on the temperature for domestic hot water, which can be set with the lower rotary switch. If the rotary knob used to set the values is turned further to the right (increase values) although the upper limit value has already been reached, the display will automatically show the lowest value, which is increased again.
When heat from another device is requested via the device bus, SP42 can be used to make the EQJW145 control to a setpoint that is higher by the amount entered for SP42 (0K to 30K) than the amount actually requested by the other device.

EQJW145: Heating controller Commissioning 2 = 2nd tank charge pump (only MOD1, 2) The 2nd tank charge pump is switched on if the actual value for the flow temperature is greater than the setpoint temperature for the DHW for start of heating + setpoint boost DHW (see SP38).
Page 36
EQJW145: Heating controller Commissioning Optimisation SP53 When the optimisation function (SP53 = 1) is enabled, it has the effect that the selected room temperature is actually reached in normal mode at the point in time that was set in the switching programme. The usage times should therefore be set as they are actually needed.
Page 37
EQJW145: Heating controller Commissioning When the optimisation function is switched off (SP53 = 0), the heating is also switched off initially on changing from normal to reduced mode if the room temperature is at least 2.5 K higher than the setpoint for reduced mode. Not until the room temperature has fallen back to the setpoint does the heating mode start again in accordance with the heating characteristic.

EQJW145: Heating controller Operation 4.7.1 Notes on the boosted DHW temperature The boosted DHW temperature is intended for thermal disinfection of hot water preparation. The higher temperature should destroy germs (legionella). To achieve this aim reliably, the return temperature limitation (see SP27) and power/flow limitation (see SP29ff) functions are not enabled with an increased DHW temperature.
EQJW145: Heating controller Operation This means that the controller is set to normal hot water mode every night. This switching command may only be deleted if it is replaced by other switching commands . You are recommended to note any change to the weekly switching programme in the relevant table in section 15.
EQJW145: Heating controller Operation 4.8.3 Enter a switching command Turn the input knob until you reach the next empty switching command. Push the input knob. • The new switching command is shown. Turn the input knob. • The time for the switching command is changed.
