parameters. Exit the menu using "Exit" messages or by pressing the knob longer (for
approximately 3 seconds).
7. RESTORING FACTORY SETTINGS AND CHANGING THE LANGUAGE
In order to restore factory settings perform the following steps:
•Keep the knob pressed and turn the controller off and on. A configuration window
"Factory settings" will be displayed.
•If you want to restore factory settings, set YES for "RESET" parameter.
•Select the menu language.
•Store the changes by confirming the parameter "STORING/Exit".
Caution! Reset does not delete the menu language, date and time.
8. DESCRIPTION OF THE MENU PARAMETERS
The user is provided with basic settings. Advanced options are contained in "Settings"
item.
Caution! It is recommended to restore factory settings before configuring a new
controller.
a. Preset temperature
Enables changing the preset heating zone temperature or heating curve in case
the weather-based control is on.
b. Schedule
Hourly schedule of heating zone operation. Enables switching the operation
of the heating zone on/off with an accuracy of hour.
If the operating times of heating zone are selected, the pump and the mixer operate
automatically.
In the situation when the hourly operating schedule is not selected (lack of heat
demand), the pump operates in accordance with the selected setting "Continuous pump
operation", "Time-based pump operation" or "Pump switched off".
The parameters are available in the menu: "Settings —CH Zone", item "Room
thermostat".
c. Heating season
It enables switching off the central heating zone beyond the heating season (SUMMER).
d. Manual operation
Enables test switch-on of the CH pump and closing or opening of the mixer. The test lasts
for one minute or until leaving the menu.
e. Temporary activation
Enables manual switch-on of the heating zone with the preset temperature and operating
time. Upon expiration of the preset operating time, the controller restores automatic
operation.
This function is useful, e.g. for floor preheating or, in case it is necessary to switch on the
heating manually with a constant temperature for a particular period.
Temporary switch-on may be activated regardless (with priority) of the heating season —
SUMMER/WINTER, selected operating schedule or signal from the room thermostat.
It provides the ability to switch-on the heating at any time.
f. Date and time
This windows enable to enter current date and time. Please remember that only correct
settings enable a proper operation of the schedules and controlling algorithms.

EUROSTER 12M –USER MANUAL 6
g. Settings
Contains the settings related to the operation of the heating zone and the feeding sensor.
CH ZONE
•Mixer
Mixer dynamics –determines the time of mixer response to changes in the zone
temperature. An excessive value may cause frequent cycling of the mixer,
whereas the insufficient value may cause slowness in achieving the preset
temperature.
Mixer hysteresis –if the measured temperature of the zone differs from the
preset one by half of the value of the preset hysteresis, then the mixer position
is not corrected.
•Alarm temperature
The zone overheating alarm is generated if the temperature of the zone sensor
exceeds the preset value of the "Alarm temperature". If the alarm temperature is
maintained longer than for one minute, then the pump is switched off.
The alarm temperature should be preset as the maximum safe temperature for
a particular heating zone. In the case of floor heating, it is recommended for the
alarm temperature not to exceed 50°C.
Caution! Incorrect setting of temperature level may cause improper operation
or major failure of the system components.
•Weather compensator
Using weather compensation enables to achieve thermal comfort regardless
of external temperature.
Upon switching the weather compensation on, set the temperatures of the heating
zone for three outside temperatures. Based on them, the controller calculates the
currently required heating zone temperature.
Caution! Temperatures must meet the condition of: T10°C≤T0°C≤T-20°C,
otherwise the control will not work properly.
•Room thermostat
Enables switching on room thermostat control and includes the operating
parameters in the situation if the hours are not selected in the schedule.In such
case (not selected hour in the schedule or open contacts of the room thermostat),
the pump operates in one of the three modes:
oContinuous —the pump operates continuously, the zone temperature
is reduced by the parameter "Temperature reduction".
oTime-based operation —the pump operates with a preset operating and
idle time period. In the operating time the preset temperature is reduced
by the parameter "Temperature reduction".
oSwitched-off —the pump is not operating, the mixer is closed.
•Automatic operation
Function enabling automatic switch-off if the temperature of the weather sensor
(outside) exceeds the preset value of "Switch-off temperature".
The heating will be restarted if the external temperature drops below the value
of "Switch-on temperature".
SUPPLY
•Feeding sensor ON/OFF
This item enables the controller operation with the feeding temperature sensor
switched off. In that case, the CH pump and the mixer operate based on the
schedule and the signal from the room thermostat.
•Shutdown temperature
Below this temperature, the CH pump is being switched on, and the mixer is being
closed. If the feeding temperature rises above "Shutdown temperature" by 2°C,
the pump is being switched on, and the mixer is being opened.
•Alarm temperature

EUROSTER 12M –USER MANUAL 7
Exceeding the feeding alarm temperature activates the alarm algorithm
to attempt to cool down the boiler. The heating zone is heated up to the alarm
temperature of the zone.
•Correction of sensors
Correction of temperature sensors allows to correct temperature reading errors,
such as the ones resulting from improper contact between the sensor and the
pipe.
9. CONTROLLER OPERATION
The temperature of the heating zone is adjusted with the PI algorithm (proportional-
integral algorithm), which enables obtaining fast and accurate control for different loads.
The controller controls the temperatures of the boiler and the controlled zone.
Periodically, it calculates the difference between the preset and measured temperature.
If the difference exceeds half of the hysteresis value, then the mixer position is corrected
with the speed determined by "Dynamics" parameter. If the mixer was switched on to
operate at the same direction by at least 100 s, the controller switches the valve actuator
permanently to set it in the limit position.
The CH pump is switched on if the temperature of the feeding sensor exceeds the value
of the "Shutdown temperature" parameter by 2°C, and it is switched off if the
temperature of the feeding sensor drops below the shutdown temperature.
The heating zone is switched off if:
•The heating season (WINTER) is switched on.
•The current time is selected in the schedule.
•The room thermostat is active or operation with room thermostat is switched off.
•Automatic operation is switched off or the mean outdoor temperature is lower
than the switch-off temperature in the case of switched on automatic operation.
•The feeding temperature is higher than required or the feeding temperature
sensor is switched off.
CAUTION! The temperature preset for a heating zone is not displayed if:
•The feeding sensor temperature is lower than the shutdown temperature.
•The room thermostat reached the preset temperature and switched off the zone
(pump operation switched off).
•There is a stoppage set up in an operation schedule.
•The zone was switched off automatically (it is warm outside).
10. ANTI-STOP SYSTEM
Anti-Stop system activates the pump and the mixing valve directly upon each switch-on
of the controller (also upon restoring factory settings), and later —every 10 days. During
its operation, "AT" letters flash at the display.
If an alarm situation (overheating or sensor damage) occurs when the Anti-Stop system
is active, the operation of the Anti-Stop system will be ceased.
11. ALARM SITUATIONS
To ensure safe and reliable operation, the controller features a number of protections.
The list of alarm events is shown in the table below. In case an alarm situation occurs,
audible alarm is generated, and a relevant message is displayed. Upon resolution
of the alarm situation, the controller automatically resumes operation.
