*Installation.
On the top side of the ALFA(NET) 71 PI is shown how the sensors, power supply, relays and 0..10Vdc
PI output has to be connected. After connecting the ALFA(NET) 71 PI to the power supply, a self test
function is started. As this test is finished the measured temperature appears in the display.
And the ALFANET -71 PI is by use of the ALFANET PC-INTERFACE controllable on the PC.
*Control.
The ALFA(NET) 71 PI thermostat can be controlled by four pushbuttons on the front. These keys are:
SET - view / change the setpoint.
UP - increase the setpoint.
DOWN - decrease the setpoint.
°C - hidden push button above the SET key and behind °C symbol.
*Viewing setpoint.
By pushing the SET key the setpoint appears in the display. The decimal point of the last display starts
blinking. A few seconds after releasing the SET key the setpoint disappears and the measured
temperature is shown again in the display.
*Changing setpoint.
Push the SET key and the setpoint appears in the display. Release the SET key. Now push the SET
key again together with the UP or DOWN keys to change the setpoint. A few seconds after releasing
the keys the measured temperature shows again in the display.
*Status of the Relays.
By pushing the hidden °C key the display shows the status of the relays. Each display segment shows
the status of the relay output, showing 0=off and 1=on. The code 110 means relay 1 and 2 are on and
relay 3 is off.
*Viewing the PI-output percentage.
Push the °C and UP keys simultaneously. Now the PI-output percentage is shown in the display.
*Viewing countdown timer for forced heating.
Push the °C and DOWN keys simultaneously. Now the time in hours is being displayed up to the next
forced heating action. If this time is less than 10 hours it will show the time and minutes to go,
seperated by a decimal dot (representation “h.mm”). At active forced heating the most right decimal
dot is lit.

*Adjustment sensors.
The temperature sensor can be adjusted by using the Sensor Offset parameter 05.
Indicates the Sensor e.g. 2°C to much, the Sensor Offset has to be decreased with 2°C.
*Error messages.
In the display of the ALFA(NET) 71 PI the following error messages can appear:
LO - Minimum alarm. Solution E1:
HI - Maximum alarm. - Check if the sensor is connected correctly.
E1 - Sensor-1 failure. - Check sensor (1000Ωat 25°C).
- Replace sensor.
EEE - Settings are lost. Solution EEE:
- Reprogram the settings.
-L- - In case of sensor short-circuit the display alternates between error-code E..
and -L-, as indication for a short-circuit sensor.
-H- - In case of open-circuit sensor the display alternates between error-code E..
and -H-, as indication for a open circuit sensor.
Reset Alarm. When a error-messages appears it can be resetted by pushing the SET key.
The function of this key depends on parameter P37.

*Setting internal parameters.
Next to the adjustment of the setpoint, internal settings can be made like differential, sensor-offset,
setpoint range and the functions of the thermostat.
Push the DOWN key more than 10 seconds, to enter the 'Internal Programming Menu'. In the left
display the upper and lower segment are blinking. Over the UP and DOWN keys the required
parameter can be selected (see table for the parameters).
If the required parameter is selected, the value can be read-out by pushing the SET key. Pushing the
UP or DOWN key to change the value of this parameter.
If after 20 seconds no key is pushed, the ALFA(NET) 71 PI changes to the normal operation mode.
