HVAC Products 1 Summary 23.10.2002
1 Summary
1.1 Brief description and key features
•The RVL471 is a multifunctional heating controller for use in residential and non-resi-
dential buildings that have their own d.h.w. heating facility
•Suited for:
−Heating zone control with or without room influence via weather-compensated flow
temperature control
−Precontrol via demand-compensated control of the main / secondary flow tem-
perature
−Precontrol via demand-compensated boiler temperature control. Suited for integra-
tion into heat source cascades or heat generation systems (heat pump, solar,
wood)
•For use in plants with own heat generation or with a district heat connection
•With regard to d.h.w. heating, the RVL471 is suited for plants with d.h.w. storage tanks,
electric immersion heaters and instantaneous systems with own heat exchangers
•The RVL471 has 29 plant types preprogrammed. When a certain type of plant is se-
lected, all functions and settings required for that plant will be activated
•A scalable voltage output DC 0...10 V is used to pass the heat demand signal to other
systems
•A multifunctional relay provides additional control functions, if required
•For direct adjustment of the heating curve, the well known “bar" is used. Digital ad-
justment of the heating curve is possible also. A setting knob is used for making room
temperature readjustments
•All the other parameters are set digitally based on the operating line principle
•The RVL471 is capable of communicating with other units via LPB (Local Process Bus)
•Key design features: Operating voltage AC 230 V, CE conformity, overall dimensions
to DIN 43700 (144 x 144 mm)
1.2 Type summary
The RVL471 is a compact controller that requires no plug-in modules.

2 Use
2.1 Types of plant
The RVL471 is suitable for all types of heating plant that use weather-compensated
flow temperature control. In addition, it can be used for demand-compensated control of
the main flow.
With regard to d.h.w. heating, the RVL471 is suited for plants with storage tanks or
d.h.w. heating via heat exchangers (instantaneous d.h.w. heating).
Main applications:
•Heating zones and d.h.w. heating with own heat generation
•Heating zones and d.h.w. heating with a district heat connection
•Interconnected plants consisting of heat generation, several heating zones and central
or decentral d.h.w. heating
2.2 Types of houses and buildings
Basically, the RVL471 is suited for use in all types of houses and buildings It has been
designed especially for:
•Multi-family houses
•Single-family homes
•Small to medium-size nonresidential buildings
2.3 Types of heating systems
The RVL471 is suited for use with all standard heating systems, such as:
•Radiators
•Convectors
•Underfloor heating systems
•Ceiling heating systems
•Radiant panels
2.4 Functions
The RVL471 is used if one or several of the following functions is / are required:
•Weather-compensated flow temperature control
•Flow temperature control via a modulating seat or slipper valve, or boiler temperature
