ADI CD boiler - Technical Manual Summer/winter heating limit The summer/winter heating limit (730,1030,1330) is used to switch the heating on and off in the course of the year, depending on the outside temperature. In Automatic operation, switching on/off takes place automatically, so there is no need for the user to do this manually.
Page 45
ADI CD boiler - Technical Manual Flow temperature setpoint limits Using this limitation, a temperature range for the flow temperature setpoint can be defined. If the flow temperature setpoint called for by the heating circuit reaches the relevant limit and the request for heat increases or decreases, the flow temperature setpoint is maintained at the maximum (741,1041,1341) or minimum (740,1041,1341) limit.
