Maximum temperature limitation

MX3O / MX3F:
Maximum temperature limitation 
Adjustment range: 
30.0 ... 200.0 °F 
[0.0 ... 95.0 °C]
in steps of 1 °C [0.5 °F]
Factory setting: 
MX3O:  140.0 °F [60.0 °C]
MX3F:  136.0 °F [58.0 °C]

Minimum temperature limitation

MN3O / MN3F:
Minimum temperature limitation
Adjustment range:
30.0 ... 190.0 °F 
[0.0 ... 90.0 °C]
in steps of 1 °C [0.5 °F] 
Factory setting (Arr = 2 only): 
MN3O:  40.0 °F [5.0 °C]
MN3F:  50.0 °F [10.0 °C]

Minimum and maximum temperature limits can be set for 
the heat exchange function.
The maximum temperature limitation uses sensor 4 as 
reference sensor. 
The maximum temperature limitation function provides 
a maximum tem perature setting, usually to reduce scald 
risk in a storage tank. If MX3O is exceeded, relay 2 is 
switched off until the temperature at sensor 4 falls below 
MX3F

The minimum temperature limitation uses sensor 3 as 
reference sensor. 
The minimum temperature limitation function provides 
a minimum tem perature setting for the heat source in 
system layout 2. If the temperature at sensor 3 falls below 
MN3O, relay 2 is switched off until the temperature at 
sensor 3 exceeds MN3F

Both switch-on and switch-off temperature differences 
DT3O and DT3F are valid for the maximum and minimum 
temperature limitation.
