Operation Setting the system time The current time and date need to be set immediately after start-up and after a power failure lasting more than 72 hours has occurred. This is indicated by the time blinking on the dis- play. The time is already in the edit mode and can be changed directly. The first two instruc- tions steps are then omitted.
Operation Setting the times-of-use Three time-of-use periods can be set for each day of the week. If not all the time-of-use periods are required, the start and stop times of the third time-of-use period (for just two periods) must be set to identical times or, alternatively, the start and stop times of the second time-of-use (for just one period).

Systems Systems The heating system can be designed either as a primary system, secondary system or a sin- gle-stage boiler system. The flow temperature can either be controlled weather-compensated, based on the room temperature or a fixed set point. The hydraulic schematics of the heating system and the con- troller configuration are the factors that determine how the flow temperature is controlled.

Functions of the heating circuit Functions of the heating circuit Weather-compensated control When weather-compensated control is used, the flow temperature is adjusted according to the outdoor temperature. The heating characteristic in the controller defines the flow temper- ature set point as a function of the outdoor temperature (–> Fig. 5). ˚...

Functions of the heating circuit Examples for setting the characteristic: Old building, radiator design 90/70: Gradient approx. 1.8 New building, radiator design 70/55: Gradient approx. 1.4 New building, radiator design 55/45: Gradient approx. 1.0 Underfloor heating depending on arrangement: Gradient smaller 0.5 Weather-compensated control, room set point mode Configuration Functions...
Functions of the heating circuit Note! Particularly for control operation without room panel, the room temperatures for day (Day set point) and night (Night set point) adjusted in the room set point mode only become effec- tive satisfactorily when the heating characteristic has been adapted to the building/heating surface layout.
Functions of the heating circuit Automatic deactivation of the heating The heating is automatically deactivated according to various criteria depending on whether the heating system is equipped with or without a room panel: Weather-compensated control, room set point mode (F1 - 1 and F9 - 1) – without room panel Deactivation during day mode The outdoor temperature exceeds the Day set point by 1 °C.
Functions of the heating circuit Outdoor temperature dependent advance heating Due to low outdoor temperatures, the controller starts heating before the time-of-use period starts in rated operation. The Advance heating time uses a reference outdoor temperature of –12 °C. The advance heating time is shortened when the outdoor temperature is higher. The colder it is outside, the earlier the reduced operation is ended to ensure that the required room temperature is reached at the start of the time-of-use period.
Functions of the heating circuit Remote control Apart from measuring the room temperature, the Type 5257-5 Room Panel (Pt 1000 sensor) provides the following opportunities of influencing the control process: Selection of the operating mode: – Automatic mode – Rated operation (day) –...
Functions of the heating circuit Room temperature-based control A Type 5257-5 Room Panel must be connected for the Room temperature-based control function; however, the control works without an outdoor sensor. The flow temperature is reduced or raised by up to 30 °C when deviations in room tempera- ture occur.
Functions of the DHW circuit Functions of the DHW circuit Fig. 6 · DHW system in a storage tank charging system (a) and in a storage tank system (b) The controller starts charging the storage tank as soon as the water temperature measured at the storage tank sensor (S5 or S2) falls below the DHW set point (P16).
Page 31
Functions of the DHW circuit flow temperature of 20 °C, provided the temperature still lies below the Monitoring value for priority. Three different operating conditions exist: The DHW temperature at S4 (S5/S2) is under the Monitoring value for priority –> the heating circuit set point is reduced.
System-wide functions System-wide functions Automatic summer time/winter time changeover The clock is automatically set one hour forward on the last Sunday in March at 2.00 h and set one hour back on the last Sunday in October at 3.00 h. Configuration Function Summer time/winter time changeover...
System-wide functions Limiting the return flow temperature The temperature difference between the flow and return flow in a network indicates how well the energy is used: the greater the difference, the higher the efficiency. A return flow sensor is sufficient to evaluate the temperature difference when the network flow temperatures are predetermined.
System-wide functions On/off control The flow temperature can be controlled, for instance, by switching a burner on and off. The burner is switched on by the controller when the flow temperature falls below the set point T = 0.5 x On/off differential . On exceeding the set point by T = 0.5 x On/off differential , the burner is switched off again.
Malfunctions Malfunctions The controller’s reaction when a sensor is defective or a sensor is missing is described in fol- lowing: Flow sensor: For three-step control, the control valve takes on the valve position 30 %. For on/off control, the controller regulates the on/off output at 30-minute intervals as long as the time set under Minimum activation time (P14).
