D 371
07/96
The House Control 371 is a microprocessor-based control that provides individual tempera-
ture control for up to 5 zones. Each zone can be either connected to the boiler (hot water) loop
or to the mixing (warm water) loop. The supply water temperature to the zones is modulated
based on both the outdoor temperature and indoor temperature feedback from each of the
zones. This outdoor reset strategy reduces indoor temperature swings and increases system
efficiency. Other energy saving functions include a heating system Warm Weather Shut
Down (WWSD) and the ability to lower indoor temperatures for a night setback period. The
control has an Optimum Start / Stop function which automatically calculates when to bring
each zone out of night setback in order to ensure they are returned to their normal operating
temperatures as the setback period ends. The 371 allows integration of an indirect fired DHW
tank into the system. This helps provide faster DHW tank pick-up times and greater energy
savings. The control can also receive a setpoint demand on either the mixing loop or the boiler
loop for snow melting, hot tubs, or other loads.
