DIFFERENTIAL THERMOSTAT
Using two sensors, a differential thermostat can be created. When the temperature difference between both sensors
crosses a preset value, a relay channel can be activated.
To achieve this, the first sensors must know the address of the second one. The second sensor must than be linked to a
relay channel. The temperature difference value is set on the first sensor.
To create a differential thermometer the set temperature difference is added to (or subtracted from) the measured
temperature of the first sensor and this value is than sent every 6 seconds as desired temperature to the second sensor.
The settings can be done via a temperature controller VMB1TC or via the Velbus link program
