HVAC Products  6 The settings in detail  23. November 2007 
Required sensors: 
To enable the controller to put the heat pump into operation without control of a buffer 
or combi storage tank, at least the return temperature sensor (B71) and the relevant 
source temperature sensor must be installed. In the case of air-to-water heat pumps, 
the evaporator sensor (B84) is required also.

2840  Switching diff return temp 
If the return temperature exceeds the setpoint by half the switching differential, the heat 
pump will be switched off; if it falls below the setpoint by half the switching differential, 
the controller will put the heat pump into operation.  
If the return temperature setpoint drops below 30 °C, the switching differential is 
reduced in a way that the switch-on point approaches the setpoint. With a return 
temperature setpoint of 20 °C, the switch-on point is identical with the return 
temperature setpoint.

The calculation of the return temperature setpoint is explained on operating line 5810 
(“Differential HC at OT –10 °C”). 
The function is not active when heat compensation is switched on. 
 
Compressor control in plants with buffer or combi storage tank 
The settings apply to compressor 1 and – if present – to compressor 2 also.   
 
If a buffer or storage tank is connected to the same controller as the heat pump, the 
controller uses sensors B4 and B41 for control of the compressor. The switching 
differential (2840) has no impact. 
If there is no sensor B41, heat pump return temperature sensor B71 is used. 
The setting on operating line 2841 defines whether the minimum compressor running 
time (2842) is observed. 
 
As soon as the temperature at both sensors (B4 + B41) drops 1 Kelvin below the flow 
temperature setpoint, a heat request is forwarded to the heat pump. This heat request 
is maintained until the temperature at both sensors reaches the flow temperature 
setpoint.
