Boiler control functions
SMGB0066 rev.0 - 12/2009
EP2 Integral Factor Required Load - Boiler/Electric Heater Control (default 2.5 %/Kmin.)
EP16 Proportional Band Required Load - Boiler/Electric Heater Control (default 6 K/100%)
EP31 Supply Setpoint Control Offset (default 4 K)
It is not normally recommended to change these parameters. They have been selected during laboratory tests for best
performance in most situations.

This function helps prevent the boiler operating unless the heat pump is already providing heat. When the heat pump
isin“thermo-off”state(compressoroff)orin“defrost”,thedifferencebetweenthesupplytemperatureTSUPandreturn
temperature TRET will be small (or negative in case of defrost) since no heating is provided. The boiler is prevented
from switching on until this difference is greater than the Supply-Return Difference Limit (P32). A +/-0.5K control
differential is applied.
TSUP-TRET > P32 + 0.5K Boiler is allowed to switch on.
TSUP-TRET < P32 – 0.5K Boiler is not allowed to switch on.
Whentheboilerstartsfromcold,thesupplytemperaturecandropforasmalltimeasthecoldwaterintheheat
exchanger is pumped into the system. This function would then cause the boiler to be switched off. In order to prevent

This function can be disabled by setting parameter P32=OFF.
P32 Supply-Return Difference Limit (default 3K)
EP36 Boiler Delay Time (default 5min)
A high value of P32 will prevent the boiler switching on until a large temperature difference is seen by the System
Controller.WithalowvalueofP32orwiththefunctiondisabled,theboilermaystartmoreoften,forexampleduring

note
This check is ignored if the Heat Pump is switched off or has a fault -
