2.6.2    Operating According to Outdoor 

Temperature Conditions

The Outdoor Reset Control feature may be used to enhance 

energy efficiency while maintaining optimal heating 

performance. With the Outdoor Reset Control, the central 

heating temperature setting automatically changes according to 

the outdoor temperature and the K-Factor setting.

You can configure the Outdoor Reset Control settings on the 

front panel in the Central Htg Operation menu. Refer to “10.6.2 

Setting the Central Heating Operation on page 42.

Note

The Outdoor Reset Control feature requires 

installation of an outdoor temperature sensor, and it 

only works when the boiler is running in the normal 

operation mode. It does not work when the boiler’s 

front panel displays a fault.

2.6    Operating Modes

2.6.1    Operating in Central Heating Mode

To operate the central heating mode: 

1.  Press the Menu button (

) to access the Main menu and 

select “2. Central Htg Operation” by pressing the OK button 

(

).

2.  In the Central Htg Operation menu, select “1. Central Htg 

ON/OFF” and select “Enable”. Then, select “1-1 CH Set Temp” 

and select a heating temperature setpoint higher than 

current heating temperature. 

 

When the boiler detects a request for heating production 

(from the installation’s room thermostat, for example), the 

3-way valve goes to heating position and the circulating 

pump starts up.

 

If the boiler water temperature is lower than the desired 

temperature setpoint, the boiler ignites and heats up the 

heating installation until the selected boiler temperature 

is reached. The boiler’s electronic control modulates 

the burner output to adapt to the installation’s heat 

requirements at all times and so that the installation’s 

water temperature remains constant. This prevents the 

installation from overheating and reduces heat loss as 

much as possible.

 

When there is no further heating demand (e.g. when 

the desired ambient temperature selected on the room 

thermostat is reached), the burner is extinguished (if it was 

ignited) and the circulation pump continues to run during 

the post-circulation time (minimum 3 minutes), to protect 

the boiler from overheating due to thermal inertia in the 

installation.
