NOTICE
Frost protection operation of a pump, a heating circuit or the DHW circuit is only ac-
tive when the
frost protection icon is displayed. In the stand-by mode ( ) xed set
point control without outdoor temperature sensor does not include frost protection.
8.3 Forced pump operation
When the heating circuit pumps have not been activated for 24 hours, forced operation of
the pumps is started between 12.02h and 12.03h. This is done to avoid that the pumps get
stuck when they are not operated for long periods of time. In the DHW circuit, the circulation
pump is operated between 12.04h and 12.05h, the other pumps between 12.05h and
12.06h.
8.4 Return ow temperature limitation
The temperature difference between the ow and return ow in a network indicates how well
the energy is used: the greater the difference, the higher the efciency. A return ow sensor
is sufcient to evaluate the temperature difference when the ow temperatures are pre-
dened. The return ow temperature can be limited either to a value depending on the out-
door temperature (variable) or to a xed set point. When the return ow temperature mea-
sured at return ow sensor exceeds the limit, the ow temperature set point is reduced. When
the temperature measured at return ow sensor RüF exceeds the return ow temperature lim-
it, the set point of the ow temperature (ow temperature of the heating system, charging
temperature) is reduced. This causes the primary ow rate to be reduced and the return ow
temperature to drop. In systems Anl2.x and 4.1, the 'Max. return ow temperature' parame-
ter (PA4 level) is used for limitation in the primary circuit during DHW heating if it is greater
than the parameter valid for the primary circuit. The 'KP' (limiting factor) determines how
strongly the controller responds when the limits are exceeded in either direction (PI algo-
rithm).
If just the proportional component is to be implemented, set CO5>F16 - 1. This allows the
integral-action component in the return ow temperature limitation algorithm of all control
circuits of the controller to be deactivated. The set point reading (ow temperature of the
heating, charging temperature) blinks to indicate that a return ow limitation is active in the
control circuit concerned.
