Examples of desired tank temperature or leaving water
temperature. The icon corresponds to the heat emitter
for that zone:
▪
: Underfloor heating
▪
: Fan coil unit
▪
: Radiator
▪
: Domestic hot water tank
Possible actions on this screen
Select slope or offset.
Increase or decrease the slope/offset.
When slope is selected: set slope and go to offset.
When offset is selected: set offset.
Confirm changes and return to the submenu.

Using weather-dependent curves
Configure weather-dependent curves as following:
To define the setpoint mode
To use the weather-dependent curve, you need to define the correct
setpoint mode:
Go to setpoint mode …
Set the setpoint mode to …

INFORMATION
Maximum and minimum setpoints
You cannot configure the curve with temperatures that are
higher or lower than the set maximum and minimum
setpoints for that zone or for the tank. When the maximum
or minimum setpoint is reached, the curve flattens out.
To fine-tune the weather-dependent curve: slope-offset curve
The following table describes how to fine-tune the weather-
dependent curve of a zone or tank:

Energy saving tips
Tips about room temperature
▪ Make sure the desired room temperature is NEVER too high (in
heating mode) or too low (in cooling mode), but ALWAYS
according to your actual needs. Each saved degree can save up
to 6% of heating/cooling costs.
▪ Do NOT increase/decrease the desired room temperature to
speed up space heating/cooling. The space will NOT heat up/cool
down faster.
▪ When your system layout contains slow heat emitters (example:
underfloor heating), avoid large fluctuation of the desired room
temperature and do NOT let the room temperature drop too low/
rise too high. It will take more time and energy to heat up/cool
down the room again.
