This allows an easy overview of functions already saved. With the menu item Funct., an optional function already saved can be temporarily An overview about which sensor has been allocated to which component and deactivated or re-activated respectively. In this case, all adjustments will remain which output has been allocated to which function is given in the Status menu.

Therefore, it will If - is selected, the function will run normally in the software but will not operate not be explained in the individual function descriptions. an output. Relay and signal outputs can be activated separately. Depending on the adjustments made, the following results are possible: In this submenu, relays and / or signal outputs can be allocated to the function se- lected.

Speed control In the Speed adjustment channel, the speed control for the output can be acti- vated or deactivated respectively. If Yes is selected, the channels Min., Max. and Adapter will appear. In the Min. adjustment channel, a relative minimum speed for a pump connected can be allocated to the output In the Max.
Relay option Blocking protection If the Relay option is activated, a relay can be allocated to the output selection. In order to protect the pumps against blocking after standstill, the controller is equipped with a blocking protection option. This option can be activated in the PWM/0-10 V option output selection submenu.
Commissioning 1. Language: Î Adjust the desired menu language. When the hydraulic system is filled and ready for operation, connect the controller to the mains. The controller runs an initialisation phase in which the directional pad glows red. When the controller is commissioned or when it is reset, it will run a commis- sioning menu after the initialisation phase.
Schemes with basic settings The controller is pre-programmed for 36 schemes. The basic pre-adjustments have 7. Scheme (if 6. = Yes): already been made. For backup heating it is necessary to allocate the demand and Î Enter the scheme number of the desired system. the boiler loading pump by means of shared relays.
Page 21
Each basic system has 4 schemes which result from the number of heating circuits. The scheme number consists of 4 digits. The first digit indicates the temperature controls class. The second digit indicates the number of heating circuits, the third and the fourth the desired basic system.

Outside the adjusted time frame the summer temperature night is valid. The operating mode switch of the room control unit is used for adjusting the op- erating mode of the controller. If a room control unit is used, the operating mode can be adjusted by means of the room control unit only.

When the Timer option is activated, a timer is indicated in which time frames for the function can be adjusted. Outside these time frames, the adjusted room tem- perature is decreased by the Correction value. If the heating circuit is in cooling mode, the set room temperature is increased by the Correction value.

If SFB off is activated, backup heating is suppressed when a selected solid fuel Antifreeze function boiler is active. The antifreeze function of the heating circuit can be used to temporarily activate an inactive heating circuit during sudden temperature drop in order to protect it against frost damage.

The Constant mode aims to keep the set flow temperature at a constant value When Humidity is selected, the controller calculates the dew point by means of which can be adjusted by means of the parameter TFlow. the humidity sensor. For activating cooling, 3 modes are available: The minimum flow temperature results from the dew point plus the adjustable correction value.
