10.3.2. Minimum limitation of the boiler return temperature
For minimum limitation of the boiler temperature, a minimum limit value can be adjusted.
The switch-on point cannot fall below the minimum limit value. The switch-off point will
then be higher by the amount of the set switching differential.
If the return temperature is limited, the display shows .
10.4. Two-position control
Two-position control controls the boiler temperature by switching a single- or two-stage
burner on and off.
The control's commands to the burner or burner stages are fed to the output relays and
indicated by LEDs.
10.4.1. Control with a single-stage burner
For two-position control with a single-stage burner, the variables that can be set are the
switching differential and the minimum burner running time.
The controller compares the actual value of the boiler temperature with the setpoint. If
the boiler temperature falls below the setpoint by half the switching differential, the
burner will be switched on. If the boiler temperature exceeds the setpoint by half the
switching differential, the burner will be switched off.

Boiler temperature setpoint
If there is no more deviation before the minimum burner running time has elapsed, the
burner will nevertheless remain activated until that time is completed (burner cycling
protection). This means that the minimum burner running time has priority, provided the
boiler temperature will not exceed the maximum limit, which will always lead to burner
shutdown.
