( ) Number of outputs
Only one fan output at a time is on, either Q1, Q2 or Q3.
The fan operates in automatic mode or at the selected speed with manual mode.
In automatic mode, the fan speed depends on the setpoint and the current room
temperature. When the room temperature reaches the setpoint, the control valve
closes and the fan switches off or stays at fan speed 1
SW 7.2and higher: Parameter P15 (factory setting 0 = fan speed OFF in dead zone)
SW < 7.2 : Parameter P60 (factory setting 0 = fan speed 1 in dead zone)
The individual switching points for ON of each fan stage can be adjusted via control
parameters P55…P57. The fan speed switch off point is 20% below the switch on
point. The diagrams below show fan speed control for modulating PI control.

The diagram only shows the PI controller’s proportional part.
On applications with 2-position control:
1) The switching point for low fan speed (Q1) is synchronized to the heating /
cooling output. Parameter “Switching point fan speed low” P57 is not relevant.
2) The maximum switching range of the fan (XpH
Fan
/ XpC

) is defined by the
switching differential (SDH/SDC) via a look-up table.
