If just one outdoor sensor should be connected, connect it to AF1. This outdoor temperature is
then used also for HK2 and HK3.
5.2.1 Gradient characteristic
Basically, the following rule applies: a decrease in the outdoor temperature causes the flow tem-
perature to increase. By varying the
Gradient and Level parameters, you can adapt the charac-
teristic to your individual requirements. Increasing
Gradient results in a higher flow tempera-
ture, decreasing
Gradient in a lower flow temperature. The parameter Level performs a parallel
transport of the heating characteristic in an upward or downward direction.
Outside the times-of-use, reduced set points are used for control:
Reduced flow set point =
Flow set point – Set-back difference.
The
Max. flow temperature and Min. flow temperature parameters mark the upper and lower lim-
its of the flow temperature. A separate gradient characteristic can be selected for the limitation
of the return flow temperature.
Examples for adjusting the characteristic:
4
Old building, radiator design 90/70:
Gradient approx. 1.8
4
New building, radiator design 70/55:
Gradient approx. 1.4
4
New building, radiator design 55/45:
Gradient approx. 1.0
4
Underfloor heating depending on arrangement: Gradient smaller 0.5

5.2.2 4-point characteristic
The 4-point characteristic allows you to define your own heating characteristic.
It is defined by 4 points for the
Outdoor temperature, the Flow temperature and the Return flow
temperature. The Set-back difference at points 2 and 3 indicates how much the flow temperature
is reduced outside the times-of-use.
