Curve coefficient
The slopes of the heating /cooling curves indicate how
many degrees the supply temperature is to be in-
creased/reduced when the outdoor temperature
drops/increases. A steeper slope means a higher supply
temperature for heating or a lower supply temperature
for cooling at a certain outdoor temperature.
The optimum slope depends on the climate conditions
in your location, if the house has radiators or under
floor heating and how well insulated the house is.
The curve is set when the heating installation is in-
stalled, but may need adjusting later. Normally, the
curve will not need further adjustment.
Caution
In the event of making fine adjustments of the
indoor temperature, the curve must be offset
up or down instead, this is done in menu 1.1
temperature .
Curve offset
An offset of the curve means that the supply temperat-
ure changes as much for all the outdoor temperatures,
e.g. that a curve offset of +2 steps increases the supply
temperature by 5 C at all outdoor temperatures.
Flow line temperature– maximum and minimum
values
Because the flow line temperature cannot be calculated
higher than the set maximum value or lower than the
set minimum value the heating curve flattens out at
these temperatures.
Caution
Underfloor heating systems are normally max
flow line temperature set between 35 and 45
°C.
Must be restricted with underfloor cooling
min. flow line temp. to prevent condensation.
Check the max temperature for your floor with
your installer/floor supplier.
The figure at the end of the curve indicates the curve
slope. The figure beside the thermometer gives the
curve offset. Use the control knob to set a new value.
Confirm the new setting by pressing the OK button.
Curve 0 is an own curve created in menu 1.9.7.
To select another curve (slope):
NOTE
If you only have one climate system, the num-
ber of the curve is already marked when the
menu window opens.
1. Select the climate system (if more than one) for
which the curve is to be changed.
2. When the climate system selection has been con-
firmed, the curve number is marked.
3. Press the OK button to access the setting mode
4. Select a new curve. The curves are numbered from
0 to 15, the greater the number, the steeper the
slope and the greater the supply temperature.
Curve 0 means that own curve (menu 1.9.7) is
used.
5. Press the OK button to exit the setting.
To read off a curve:
1. Turn the control knob so that the ring on the shaft
with the outdoor temperature is marked.
2. Press the OK button.
3. Follow the grey line up to the curve and out to the
left to read off the value for the supply temperature
at the selected outdoor temperature.
4. You can now select to take read outs for different
outdoor temperatures by turning the control knob
to the right or left and read off the corresponding
flow temperature.
5. Press the OK or Back button to exit read off mode.
TIP
Wait 24 hours before making a new setting,
so that the room temperature has time to
stabilise.
If it is cold outdoors and the room temperature
is too low, increase the curve slope by one in-
crement.
If it is cold outdoors and the room temperature
is too high, lower the curve slope by one incre-
ment.
If it is warm outdoors and the room temperat-
ure is too low, increase the curve offset by one
increment.
If it is warm outdoors and the room temperat-
ure is too high, lower the curve offset by one
increment.
Menu 1.9.2 - external adjustment
climate system
Setting range: -10 to +10 or desired room temperat-
ure if the room sensor is installed.
Default value: 0
Connecting an external contact, for example, a room
thermostat or a timer allows you to temporarily or
periodically raise or lower the room temperature while
heating. When the contact is on, the heat curve offset
is changed by the number of steps selected in the
menu. If a room sensor is installed and activated the
desired room temperature (°C) is set.
If there is more than one climate system the setting
can be made separately for each system.
