Overview

The SALUS WT100 is a weather controller designed to manage the temperature in a heating circuit, typically involving a 3- or 4-way valve with a drive-controlled 3-point mechanism. It also supports the connection of an additional circulation pump and can control a heat source via a dry contact. This device is suitable for households, similar premises, and light industry facilities.

Function Description

The primary function of the WT100 is weather-compensated control, where the heating circuit's preset temperature is determined based on a programmed heating curve and the measured outside temperature. It features automatic detection of heating seasons, can work with a room thermostat, and controls the heat source. The controller also implements return temperature protection to prevent low return water temperatures and offers protection against boiler boiling (for coal boilers) in short-circuit scenarios.

The WT100 is equipped with a timer (clock operation maintained for 48 hours without power) and an intuitive TOUCH&PLAY system for easy operation. Settings are adjusted via a rotary encoder, which can be rotated to increase or decrease values and pressed for selection or approval. A long press (3 seconds) exits a parameter without saving changes. The main menu displays icons representing various functions.

The controller supports several working modes:

  • OFF mode: Turns off the heating circuit, but frost protection remains active if enabled. This mode also turns off the heat source unless a heating buffer function is active.
  • AUTO mode: Room temperature changes according to a time program, with "day" periods using the preset temperature and "night" periods using a decreased temperature.
  • COMFORT mode: Maintains a constant preset room temperature.
  • ECONOMY mode: Maintains a constant decreased room temperature.
  • AUTO-ECO mode: Room temperature changes according to a time program, with "day" periods using the preset temperature and "night" periods completely turning off the heating circuit. Frost protection remains active if enabled.

The Schedule function allows users to define time intervals for decreasing the preset temperature in the heating circuit or for turning the heat source on/off. This enables automatic temperature adjustments, for example, at night or when rooms are unoccupied, to save energy without compromising comfort. Schedules can be set for each day of the week.

The Summer/Winter function manages automatic or manual heating activation. It also allows for domestic hot water (DHW) container loading in summer without heating the central heating system. If an external temperature sensor is connected, the Summer function can be automated based on specified ON/OFF temperatures.

General settings allow adjustment of date, time, screen brightness, contrast, sound, and language. The Information menu provides access to current temperatures and active devices. Additional functions offer user support, such as controlling the heating circuit independently when the heat source support is turned off, or controlling the heating circuit with mixing and optional thermostat influence.

Hydraulic Schemes

The manual provides three hydraulic schemes:

  1. Four-way valve controlling central heating or floor circuit: This scheme uses a four-way valve, a circulation pump, and a heat source. Sensors include room, heating circuit, external (weather), return, and heat source temperature sensors. Recommended settings are provided for radiator and underfloor heating systems, including max temperature, room thermostat status, start pump temperature, and return sensor status.
  2. Three-way valve controlling central heating circuit (with hydraulic coupling): This scheme uses a three-way valve, a circulation pump, and a heat source with a hydraulic coupling. Sensors include room, heating circuit, external (weather), and hydraulic coupling temperature sensors. Recommended settings cover system type, max temperature, room thermostat, start pump temperature, and cooling temperature.
  3. Three-way valve controlling underfloor heating circuit (with hydraulic coupling): Similar to scheme 2 but specifically for underfloor heating. Recommended settings include system type (underfloor heating), max temperature, room thermostat, and start pump temperature.

  • Norms: PN-EN 60730-2-9, PN-EN 60730-1
  • Software Class: A
  • Mounting: On the wall

Usage Features

  • Temperature Sensor Connection: Only CT10 and CT6-P sensor types are supported. Cables can be extended up to 15m with a minimum cross-sectional area of 0.5mm². Proper thermal contact with the measured surface is crucial, often requiring thermoleading paste. Sensors should be isolated from electrical wires and hot parts of the boiler/installation.
  • Weather Sensor Connection: The CT6-P weather sensor should be installed on the coldest, northern wall of the building, under a roof, away from direct sunlight, rain, windows, chimneys, or other heat sources. It should be at least 2m above ground.
  • Room Thermostat Connection: An NO-NC room thermostat can influence the heating circuit. When activated, it reduces the preset heating circuit temperature or turns off the pump, depending on settings.
  • Heat Source Connection: COM-NO terminals provide a dry contact for connecting an ON-OFF heat source (e.g., gas, oil, or pellet boiler). These terminals do not have galvanic isolation from 230V~, so a separate relay may be needed for low-voltage circuits.
  • Service Menu: Accessible via a password, this menu allows advanced configuration of heating circuit, heat source, and protection settings. Parameters include heating curve adjustments, temperature corrections, pump start/min/max temperatures, valve settings, hysteresis, buffer control, and frost protection.
  • Frost Protection: Activates in OFF or AUTO-ECO modes during night-time temperature decreases. If the external temperature drops below 3°C for a set delay (e.g., 4h), the heating circuit pump activates for a period (e.g., 30 minutes). If the mixer sensor temperature remains low, the heat source heats the circuit to the frost protection temperature.
  • Power Stoppage: The controller returns to its previous operating mode after a power outage.
  • Prevention Cooling: Attempts to cool the heat source before it reaches an overheat alarm state.
  • Pump Anti-Standstill Function: Periodically switches the pump on for a few seconds (e.g., every 167h) to prevent immobilization due to scaling. The controller's power supply should remain connected for this function to operate.

Maintenance Features

  • Fuse Replacement: Requires disconnecting the power supply. A 1.25A time-delay subminiature fuse (minimum interrupting current 100A, per IEC 60127) should be used.
  • Documentation Storage: The manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference and transferred to new users/owners if the device is moved or sold.
  • Environmental Conditions: The controller is designed for dry, conductive environments (2nd degree of contamination per PN-EN 60730-1) and should not be exposed to water condensation or direct water contact. It is not suitable for explosive gas or dust environments.
  • Installation Requirements: Must be installed vertically on a flat surface using all mounting points. External circuit wires should be surface-mounted and protected from pulling, loosening, or straining. Cables should not contact surfaces exceeding their operating temperature limits. Installation must be performed by a qualified and authorized technician in accordance with EN 60335-1. Before opening the casing or performing any electrical work, the power supply must be disconnected.
