distribution system. The gradient of the heating curve describes the relation between the change in the supply 
temperature and the change in outside temperature. In the case of large heating surfaces (and therefore low supply

Atdifferenttimesoftheday,accordingtothetimeprogrammeintheRoomUnit,theroomtemperaturesetpointwill
cause a parallel shift of the heating curve. The change in supply setpoint due to the room setpoint is dependant on the 
actual value of the outside temperature and the selected heating curve.

SR1 (room setpoint) = 18°C
=> S1 (supply setpoint) = 45°C

note
The room setpoint value is sent from the Room Unit to the System Controller by a wireless signal. There can  -
be a short delay in response between a room setpoint change and the system controller changing the supply 
setpoint.
