It is possible to select or set:
•
The type of optimization: either with a room temperature sensor/room unit or based on
the room model
•
The maximum limit value for the heating-up time
•
The maximum limit value for optimum shutdown
•
Quick setback: yes or no
To perform the optimization function, the controller makes use of the actual room tem-
perature – acquired by a room temperature sensor or room unit – or the room model.
Using a room temperature sensor or room unit, it is possible to have optimum start con-
trol and optimum stop control. To be able to optimally determine the switch-on and
switch-off points, optimization needs to "know" the building's heating up and cooling
down characteristics, always in function of the prevailing outside temperature. For this
purpose, optimization continually acquires the room temperature and the respective
outside temperature. It captures these variables via the room temperature sensor and
the outside sensor and continually adjusts the forward shift of the switching points. In
this way, optimization can also detect changes made to the building and to take them
into consideration.
The learning process always concentrates on the first heating period per day.
When no room temperature sensor is used, the room model only allows optimum start
control.
Optimization operates with fixed values (no learning process), based on the set maxi-
mum heating up time and the room model.
