7.4.6 Pump setting for domestic hot-water systems 7.4.9 Setting up the PWM input signal Recommended and alternative pump settings: To enable the external control mode (PWM profile A), you need a signal cable connected to an external system. The cable can be Pump setting supplied with the circulator as an accessory.
7.5 Pump performance 7.5.1 Relation between pump setting and pump performance Figure shows the relation between pump setting and pump performance by means of curves. Fig. 18 Pump setting in relation to pump performance Setting Pump curve Function The pump runs at a constant speed and consequently on a constant curve. Constant curve or constant At speed I, the pump is set to run on the minimum curve under all operating conditions.
8. Setting the product Every time you press the push-button, the pump setting is changed. A cycle is five button presses. To select fixed proportional curve, press and hold the push button for 3 seconds. The pump automatically enables the PWM input-signal control mode when the signal cable is plugged in.
