5.7  Cold start of plant 
 
 
Note! 
Functions Cold start of plant and Thermal shock protection (TSS) are interlocked. 
Only one function can be activated, but never both at the same time. 
 
When a heating system is switched off for a longer period of time, the actual value will 
drop of course. 
To achieve a faster control response, the controller immediately starts in high-fire 
operation as soon as the control deviation (x-w) drops below a certain limit value.  
 
This limit is calculated as follows:  
 
Limit value = 2 x (HYS1-HYS3)  
 
In that case, the response threshold (q) is inactive, independent of operating mode and 
controlled variable (temperature or pressure). 
 
Operating mode: Modulating, 3-position output 
HYS1 = -5 K  
HYS3 = +5 K 
     w = 60 °C 
 
Limit value = 2 x (-5 - 5) = 2 x (-10) = -20 K 
 
At an actual value below 40 °C, heating up immediately starts in low-fire operation, and 
not in thermostat mode.
