Required sensors:
To enable the controller to put the heat pump into operation without control of a buffer
or combi storage tank, at least the return temperature sensor (B71) and the relevant
source temperature sensor must be installed. In the case of air-to-water heat pumps,
the evaporator sensor (B84) is required also.
Line no.

Switching diff return temp
If the return temperature exceeds the setpoint by half the switching differential, the heat
pump will be switched off; if it falls below the setpoint by half the switching differential,
the controller will put the heat pump into operation.
Switching differential
return temperature
If the return temperature setpoint drops below 30 °C, the switching differential is
reduced in a way that the switch-on point approaches the setpoint. With a return
temperature setpoint of 20 °C, the switch-on point is identical with the return
temperature setpoint.

Return temperature setpoint
The calculation of the return temperature setpoint is explained on operating line 5810
("Differential HC at OT –10 °C").
The function is not active when heat compensation is switched on.
Overview of setpoint and control sensor selection
Various factors determine which sensor is used to control to which setpoint. The
following table provides an overview on plant configurations and the sensors used to
control to which setpoint. Requirement is always a valid heat demand to the heat pump.
Response in case of faults is not considered here and not all listed cases may
represent reasonable plant configurations.
