700/2 Date/time This function enables the current time and date to be set manually. If the controller's external sensor is equipped with a DCF receiver, the controller receives a DCF 77 time signal and sets the date and time automatically.
Page 62
700/2 Offset room temp. Offset outside temp. The value measured by the sensor is offset by the value that has been set. This com- pensates for external influences on temperature. Adjustment range for room temperature offset: -3.0 to +3.0 K.
700/2 4.4.2.8 Default setting The factory settings can be reset at two levels: Default setting Time programmes Everything Time programmes If "everything" has been selected, the controller starts by searching for eBUS system components. Everything After resetting to the default setting, the controller automatically calls up the installation assistant.
700/2 4.5.2 Sensors If an outside temperature sensor with DCF receiver is connected to the boiler, the date and time are set automatically and the outside temperature is displayed. The temperature sensor integrated in the controller is used for control functions and temperature display in the controller display.
