10.15 Controller (Controller settings)
The pumps have a factory default setting of gain (K
p
) and integral
time (T
i
).
However, if the factory setting is not the optimum setting, you can
change the gain and the integral time:
• Set the gain within the range from 0.1 to 20.
• Set the integral-action time within the range from 0.1 to 3600
seconds. If you select 3600 seconds, the controller functions as
a PI controller.
Furthermore, you can set the controller to inverse control.
This means that if you increase the setpoint, the speed is reduced.
In the case of inverse control, you must set the gain within the
range from -0.1 to -20.

In heating systems, an increase in pump performance results in a rise in
temperature at the sensor.

In cooling systems, an increase in pump performance results in a drop in
temperature at the sensor.

General rules of thumb:
If the controller is too slow-reacting, increase the gain.
If the controller is hunting or unstable, dampen the system by
reducing the gain or increasing the integral time.
