Adjusting the timer Adding a time frame: When the Timer option is activated, a timer is indicated in which time frames for the function can be adjusted. The time frames can be adjusted in steps of 15 minutes. First of all, an overview of the current adjustments is displayed. For each day of the week there is an overview display.

Step-by-step parameterisation 4. Adjusting the operating mode The DeltaTherm ® HC heating controller is a controller that offers a broad variety of functions to the user. At the same time, the user has a lot of freedom After commissioning, the heating circuit is in automatic mode. The operating in configurating them.

Furthermore, measured and bal- Deactivated), the temperatures of the relevant sensors and the relays states are ance values as well as messages are indicated.
Heating When a line with a measurement value is selected, another sub-menu will open. In this menu, all adjustments for the heating part of the arrangement or for the heating circuits respectively can be made. Shared relays for demands, loading pumps or valves can be activated, heating circuits can be confi gured and optional functions can be selected and adjusted.
Page 26
Demand For demand of a boiler, for example, the shared relays Demand 1 and Demand 2 are available. The options Boiler pr. min and Boiler pr. max can be activated for the shared relays, allowing temperature-dependent control of the boiler de- mands.
Heating circuits The controller has 1 mixed and 1 unmixed weather-compensated heating circuit and is able to control up to 5 further mixed heating circuits by means of extension modules. The heating system Constant aims to keep the set fl ow temperature to a con- stant value which can be adjusted by means of the parameter Set temperature.

Day / Night: A reduced set fl ow temperature (night correction) is used during night operation. Day / Off: The heating circuit and the optionally activated afterheating are switched off during night operation. Room / Off: The heating circuit and the afterheating are switched off during night operation.

To each room thermostat, an additional relay can be allocated. That relay will be energised if the temperature at the allocated sensor falls below the adjusted room temperature. This way, the room in question can be unlinked from the heating cir- cuit via a valve as long as the room temperature is reached has the desired value.

Thermal disinfection This function helps to contain the spread of Legionella in DHW stores by system- atically activating the afterheating. Due to the fl exible control logic, the exact time of thermal disinfection is not predictable. In order to set a fi xed time for the disinfection, the starting delay can be used.

Troubleshooting If a malfunction occurs, a message will appear on the display of the controller. WARNING! Electric shock! Upon opening the housing, live parts are exposed! Î Always disconnect the controller from power sup- ply before opening the housing! The controller is protected by a fuse. The fuse holder (which also holds the spare fuse) becomes accessible when the cover is removed.
