WARNING
Each single operation done on the unit, either installation or maintenance, must be done without main supply on the unit and
external loads. Such operations are permitted only by skilled workers. Industrietechnik is not responsible for possible damages
caused by an inadequate installation and/or by removed or exchanged security devices. The thermostat must be mounted in
places far from heat sources and freely accessible for air convection at a height of approx. 1,5 m. Do not install the thermostat
on particularly cold or heat walls.
APPLICATION
The series of thermostats DB-TA-33A allow the temperature control in buildings interiors for heating, air conditioning with 2 or 4
pipe systems with proportional integral regulation. The unit has one 0..10 V output (2 pipe system) or two 0..10 V outputs (4 pipe
system) according to conguration choosen and it is possible to have:
- in 2 pipe system, local or centralized changeover by a single wire, or automatic changeover according to temperature of water
sensor mounted upstream the valve. In 4 pipe system, the changeover is done automatically according to room temperature.
- switches on/off and 3 speeds (DB-TA-33A-13A) for power on and off the unit and fan-coil
- economy remote function with a single wire
- autotuning function with the use of remote sensor only
The unit has a display with 3 characters for visualizing room temperature, parameters setting and 2 keys +-for parameters setting.

LIVELLO 3: AUTOTUNING
The level 3 is accessible only with the password 8.5 and if the unit uses remote air sensor. With the use of internal sensor it is
not possible to use the autotuning function.
This function allows the calculation of parameters Bp, Ti automatically by doing an on/off cycle.
Before doing such a cycle, set the setpoint for autotuning.
The setpoint for autotuning in 2 pipe system can be done adding or substracting the value of parameter oFA (offset for autotu-
ning) to the setpoint (main setpoint if the contact ECO is opened or economy setpoint if the contact ECO is closed) according to
operating season (see parameters).
In 4 pipe system autotuning is done on setpoint (main setpoint if the contact ECO is opened or economy setpoint if the contact
ECO is closed).
LeA Level for autotuning:
During the autotuning cycle the regulator outputs 0 V or the voltage dened by parameter LEA. The selection is
done automatically considering the season working and temperature from setpoint:
- in heating if temperature is lower than setpoint, the output is equal to LEA Volt.
- in heating if temperature is upper than setpoint, the output is equal to 0 Volt.
- in cooling if temperature is upper than setpoint, the output is equal to LEA Volt.
- in cooling if temperature is lower than setpoint, the output is equal to 0 Volt.
In 2 pipe systems, the active output during autotuning is the 0..10 V single output.
In 4 pipe systems, the active output during autotuning is the 0..10 V heating output if at the beginning of autotuning
cycle temperature is lower than setpoint. On this case autotuning is done in heating. If temperature is upper than the
setpoint at the beginning of the autotuning cycle, the active 0..10 V output is the cooling output. The autotuning is
done on this case in cooling.
Choose a level that avoid high oscillations.
Setting range:
   0...10,0 V default value: 5,0 V
oFA Offset for autotuning: (it appears only for 2 pipe systems)
ECO opened and heating mode: set autotune = SEt - oFA
ECO opened and cooling mode: set autotune = SEt + oFA
ECO closed and heating mode: set autotune = SEo - oFA
ECO closed and cooling mode: set autotune = SEo + oFA
Setting range:
   0...5,0 °C default value: 1,0 °C

AUt Autotuning start:
Setting the paramerter to YES, the autotuning cycle starts at once. During autotuning cycle it is not possible accessing
to setpoint and others parameters. So before starting the cycle, verify parameters are correctly set. If they are not set
correctly it is possible to stop the cycle inserting the password 8.5 and inserting no to parameter AUtor by powering
off and on the unit.
During autotuning cycle the display alternates the indication of temperature and one of the following message:
 AUt :initial phase of autotuning.
At1 :phase 1 of autotuning cycle.
At2 :phase 2 of autotuning cycle.
At3 :phase 3 of autotuning cycle.
At the end of autotuning cycle the display alternates one of the following messages and temperature:
End :autotuning cycle ended. In 2 pipe system proportional band and integral time are calculated. In 4 pipe system

6
proportional band BpH=BpC and integral time Ti are calculated.
ErC :initial autotuning cycle error. The cycle didn’t begin correctly. For instance if operating season is heating in 2 pipe
system and the temperature is upper than the setpoint at the begining of autotuning cycle, it is not possible to
start the cycle. The cycle must begin with the voltage in output set to LEA (see autotuning cycle drawings indicated
above).
Ert :maximum time for autotuning cycle reached. The maximum time for autotuning cycle is 4 hours. If this time is
overcome, this message is shown on the display and parameters Bp and Ti are not calculated.
Er0 :parameters calculated at the end of autotuning cycle are out of range. The maximum or minimum value of para-
meter calculated is assigned. For instance, if Ti calculated is upper than 30 minutes (Ti max), Ti is set to 30. If Ti
calculated is lower than 1 minute, the value 1 minute is set to parameter Ti.

APPENDIX 1
Autotuning
The regulator calculates optimum parameters PI for the room regulated and save them in EEPROM so that when the controller is
powered up after being shut down, the controller does not need to be autotuned again. The regulator use the same parameters
until the cycle is again initiated.
The autotune parameters are only good for the process the autotune function was used on. The autotune function should be
performed again for the following conditions:
- setpoint signicantly changed
- the load is changed or relocated,
- change of position for remote sensor
- other disturbances occur which might change the dynamics of the system.
The autotuned control parameters are not always perfect for every applications, but almost always give the operator a good
starting point from which further renement of control parameters can be performed manually.

8
In some cases the autotune function does not perform well or does not perform at all:
1. The system is affected by process disturbances external to the control loop during autotuning (windows opened, load variation)
2. The system is very dynamic. This is the case in which the heating or cooling power is too high for the volume of room regulated.
Considering the conditions for autotuning cycle, some large overshoots can be veried.
3. The system is very insulated and cannot cool down (heating season) or heat up (cooling season) in a timely manner. For such
systems the autotuning cycle would take a very long time to complete with questionable results.
During autotuning the period of oscillations, overshoots and undershoots are measured. At the end of the cycle Bp, Ti parameters
are calculated.
APPENDIX 2
Manual parameters setting
Proportional band
The width of the proportional band depends of the dynamics of the system. The rst question to ask is, how strong must my
output be to eliminate the error between the setpoint and temperature ?
The larger the proportional band (low gain), the less reactive the process. A proportional band too large, however, can lead to
process wandering or sluggishness. The smaller the proportional band (high gain), the more reactive the output becomes. A
proportional band too small, can lead to over-responsiveness leading to process oscillation.
A proportional band with is correct in width approaches the setpoint as fast as possible while minimizing overshoot. If a faster
approach to setpoint is desired and process overshoot is not a problem, a smaller or narrower proportional band may be used.
If process overshoot cannot be tolerated and the approach to setpoint does not have to be quick, a larger proportional band
can be choosen.
Integral time
With proportional band alone, the process tend to reach a point away from setpoint. This offset is due to the difference betwe-
en the output needed to mantain setpoint and the ouptut of the proportional band at setpoint.
In the case of 2 pipe system with MAr=5V (50% of proportional band) if it is necessary a voltage different from 50% to mantain
the setpoint, the offset is the difference between them.The integral action eliminates this difference.
The integral action eliminates this difference by adding or substracting a value to the proportional action alone.
Integral time is the speed at which the controller corrects for offset. A short integral time means the controller corrects for offset
quickly. If the integral time is too short, the controller would react before the effect of previous output shift, due to dead time or
lag time, could be sensed causing oscillations.
A long integral time means the controller corrects the offset over a long time. If the integral time is too long, the offset will remain
for some time causing slow responding or sluggish control.

Method 3:
A last method that can be used is the open loop test by doing a step change in output signal manually (output 9-10).
The goal is to suppose the response system temperature when a step change is done in output as indicated on the following picture:
1. Put the regulator in manual mode by setting parameter POE from PI to a value from 0 to 10V. Write this value (POE1).
2. Let the temperature stabilizes.
3. Increase the ouput voltage to do a step change. Write the value choosen (POE2).
4. Map the temperature as indicated on picture.
5. The gain of process is given from following expression
To set parameters manually, each parameter must be set. One can apply the method of test and error.
Method 1:
Proportional band setting:
1. Set the parameter Ti to noIin order to put the regulator in proportional regulator only.
2. Set a large proportional band.
3. Change the setpoint a little and observe how the system is reacting. The response will be sluggish.
4. Tighten by decreasing the value in half. Change the setpoint a little and observe how the system is reacting. If the system is
still sluggish and does not oscillate, tighten by decrease the value in half again.
5. Repeat the point 4 until the system begins to oscillate constantly.
6. Multiply last proportional band set by 2.
Integral time added
1. Set a large integral time.
2. Change the setpoint a little and observe how the system is reacting. The response will be sluggish.
3. Tighten integral time by decreasing the value in half and repeat the point 2 until an oscillating response is obtained with a
small setpoint change.
4. Multiply last integral time obtained on point 3 by 2.
Method 2:
Another method is the Ziegler-Nichols method. Repeat point 1 to 4 of proportional band setting in order to nd out the proportional
band that creates stable oscillations. By measuring the period of oscillations and the proportional band limit BpLim set, parameters
Bp and Ti are calculated for regulation.
Decrease of proportional band:
test 1: dotted line
test 2: line with points
test 3: continuous line
Decrease of Ti:
test 1: dotted line
test 2: line with points
test 3: continuous line
Bp= 2 BpLim
Ti = 0.83 period

10
According to Ziegler-Nichols one obtain:
- for a P regulator: Bp = (t1 * K ) / t2
- for a PI regulator: Bp = (1.11 * t1 * K) / t2
Ti = 3.33 * t1
At the end of the test do not forget to set parameter POE to PI in order to use the unit as an automatic regulator.
