General Information

... and hints on saving energy:
When the regulator settings are altered the
regulator reacts with a time lag. Every 20 sec-
onds the processor compares all desired and
actual values and carries out all necessary
corrections with the necessary speed.
The room in which the room temperature reg-
ulator is mounted (control room) determines
the temperature for all other rooms.
I.e. the room temperature in the control room
acts as a control input for the entire heating
network.
For this reason all thermostat regulated radia-
tors located in the control room must be
opened completely at all times. Otherwise the
thermostat valves would reduce the heat sup-
ply although the regulator constantly requires
more heat (see also chapter 4.1).
If in the adjoining rooms a lower temperature
is wanted or if the radiator should be turned off
completely, the (thermostatic) radiator valves
must be set accordingly.
Since the room where the room temperature
regulator is mounted acts as a control room,
any external heating sources (e.g. insolation,
tiled stove, etc.) can result in insufficient
heating of the remaining rooms (the radiators
stay cold). In order to avoid this the room
temperature sensor RF 1 can be used
according to the notes in chapter 2.2,
chapter 5.1 and chapter 6.7.
When the room temperature is reduced during
the day or during the night a lot of energy can
be saved.
If the room temperature is reduced by 1 K (°C)
this can save up to 5% of energy.
It is not recommended to let the temperature
of daily heated rooms drop below +15°C.
When the room is heated up again the com-
fortableness is diminished by the walls which
are cooled down. So if one wants a real com-
fortable room temperature the regulator must
be turned up and so a lot more energy is used
up than is in case of an even heat supply.
If the building has good thermal insulation it is
possible that the set economic temperature is
not reached. But even in this case energy is
saved since the heating system is not activat-
ed.
In this case the starting time for economical
operating mode can be set earlier.
Do not let windows stand ajar for airing the
rooms since this would constantly withdraw
heat from the room without improving the air in
the room considerably. Do avoid continuous
airing!
It is better to air the room briefly but properly
(open the windows completely).
Set the temperature regulator to a lower value
during airing.
