The supply temperature is adjusted as the Climate Controller meet the cooling need of the house. C-46 compares the mean value of the readings from the return The Climate Controller C-46 works with the following input: and supply sensors against the average setpoint temperature.
If the water supplied is below a defined trigger value, the Climate temperature readings from the indoor and outdoor sensors. The Controller C-46 switches over to cooling mode. If the water Climate Controller C-46 can also control an external diverting supplied is above the same trigger value and a defined hysteresis valve through a relay contact.
In this switchover mode, the Climate Controller C-46 switches between heating and cooling mode controlled from an external source. There are two ways to set the Climate Controller C-46 in slave mode: • If the Bus slave function is selected from the H/C switchover menu, the switchover function will be controlled from a Controller C-56 Radio.
