Summary

1.1

Brief description and key features

• The RVD230 is a multifunctional heating controller for controlling the flow temperature
of the heating circuit and of d.h.w. heating
• The controller's field of use covers exclusively plants with district heat connections. It
has been specially designed for small to medium-size residential and nonresidential
buildings
• The RVD230 has 7 heating circuit types and 11 d.h.w. plant types preprogrammed. By
combining the different plants, it is possible to configure 28 plant types. The configura-
tion activates all functions and settings required for the respective type of plant
• In terms of control, the RVD230 is designed as a flow temperature controller. Control
can be effected in 1 of 5 different ways:
Weather-compensated control of the heating circuit flow
−
Weather- and room temperature-compensated control of the heating circuit flow
−
Room temperature-compensated control of the heating circuit flow
−
Demand-dependent control of the common flow
−
Demand-compensated precontrol
−
• In terms of d.h.w. heating, the RVD230 is designed for the following types of applica-
tions:
D.h.w. heating with coil type storage tanks
−
D.h.w. heating with stratification storage tanks
−
Direct d.h.w. heating via heat exchanger
−
Common or separate heat exchangers for the heating circuit and d.h.w. heating
−
2-stage separation of the d.h.w. from district heating
−
• The RVD230 is suited for the control of 2-port and 3-port valves as well as diverting
valves and pumps, including variable speed pumps
• For the direct adjustment of the nominal room temperature setpoint, a setting knob is
available. All the other parameters are set digitally based on the operating line principle
• Key design features: Operating voltage AC 230 V, CE conformity, overall dimensions
to DIN 43700 (96 × 144 mm)
