Why do I need a heating program?
Unlike standard controls, the RC30 offers more choice than just
ON/OFF. Modern heating systems offer a choice of heating
programs. A heating program sets the times at which the system
automatically switches between two different room temperatures.
The first setting, called „day mode“, is for when the building is
actively occupied and a higher temperature is required. The
second setting, called „night mode“ is not just for the night but for
any time when you want to maintain a lower temperature i. e. when
the building is unoccupied or when everyone is in bed at night. This
enables you to set a reduced room temperature at night or at other
times when a reduced temperature is sufficient (also known as
"night setback"). You can save a lot of energy by choosing a
heating program to match your lifestyle.
The RC30 offers four options on "night mode" for reducing the
room temperature. Your installer will select and set up one of these
options according to your requirements:
–
"OUTSIDE STOP" (also possible without remote control,
outside sensor required)
"Outside stop" switches the heating circuit according to the
outside temperature and the set frost protection temperature
(see Chapter 5.8.10 "Frost protection", page 39).
Above the frost protection temperature the heating circuit is
switched off. Below this temperature the system heats to the
set night mode temperature.
–
- "ROOM STOP" (only possible with RC30 in reference room)
"Room stop" switches the heating circuit according to the room
temperature.
Above the set room temperature the heating circuit is switched
off. Below the set room temperature the system heats to the set
night mode temperature. This function requires the RC30 to be
located in the reference room.
–
"STANDBY" (also possible without remote control)
Here the heating circuit is simply turned off in night mode. You
must activate frost protection monitoring (see Chapter 5.8.9
"Frost protection type", page 38).
