CONTROLLER POWER CONNECTION Any project with an ACD controller must be based on calculations and plans that are solely yours and in accordance with applicable regulations. Images and texts in these instructions serve as examples and the issuer does not assume any responsibility for them. The liability of the issuer for unprofessional, incorrect and false information that can result in damage is explicitly excluded.
OPERATION MODES WITH SENSOR FAILURE Sensor T1 is not connected or is faulty. - Heating: The controller switches on the circulation pump. In scheme 1, the mixing valve opens and in schemes 2 and 3 it closes. - Cooling: The controller switches off the circulation pump. Sensor T2 is not connected or is faulty.
AUX FUNCTION AT COM INPUT The COM input can also be used for external actuation of the controller. The external actuation options are set with parameter S1.7. When a short circuit is detected at COM input, the following is activated: - switch from off to on of the heating if the parameter is set to S1.7 = Operation on.
