Digital control sequence 
Action of stages: 
0= cumulative: stage 1 stays on when 2 on comes on 
1= single: stage 1 turns off when 2 on comes on 
2= digital: stage 1 only, stage 2 only, then stage 1 plus 2 
Offset for heating/reverse binary sequences 
Offset for cooling/direct binary sequences 
Activation of reverse/direct (heat/cool) sequence 
OFF=   activates based on demand 
ON  =  follows heat/cool state of controller: Set manually or by 
auxiliary function (FU20-FU23) 
Delay for heat /cool changeover when L23=OFF 
 
➔  Cumulative stage action (L16=0) is typically used in electric heat applications, and single stage action (L16=1) in fan 
speed applications. Digital stage action (L16=2) is especially useful in electric heat applications to generate three 
steps with just two outputs. For example: Step 1=100W, step 2=200W, step 3=300W.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
➔  Switching hysteresis (L21) is the difference between switching on and switching off. A small hysteresis will increase 
the number of switching cycles and thus the wear on associated equipment. 
➔  With switching delay (L22) cumulative stages will not switch on simultaneously. With a sudden demand or initial 
power stage 2 will not start earlier than 10 seconds (default value) after stage 1 has been initiated.
