Heating and cooling

On 4-pipe applications, the thermostat controls 2 valves in heating and cooling mode, heating / cooling mode by manual selection, or heating and cooling mode with changeover. Heating and cooling mode (P01 = 4) is factory-set.

4-pipe application with manual changeover

The heating or cooling output can be released via operating mode button if parameter P01 is set to Manual (P01 = 2).

"Main and secondary" application (4-pipe with changeover)

If parameter P01 is set to changeover (P01 = 3), the heating and cooling output is swapped according to the input state of the changeover sensor / switch / bus input (see automatic heating and cooling changeover sensor in section 3.5). This mode is used for the so-called "Main and secondary" application. This is a 4-pipe fan coil unit system with different capacities of the 2 coils. The water circuit is changed to optimize the energy exchange depending on the season (summer / winter):

  • Winter: Large coil (V1) for heating, small coil (V2) for cooling.

  • Summer: Large coil (V1) for cooling, small coil (V2) for heating.

Note:

This example shows ON/OFF control;
for modulating con­trol, connect the appropri­ate output terminals

Note:

  • The parameter for the heating and cooling changeover sensor (B2 in the above diagram) must be set to 2 (X1 or X2, P38 or P40).

  • The thermostat assumes winter operation when B2 > P37 (factory setting 28 °C).

  • The thermostat assumes summer operation when B2 < P36
    (factory setting 16 °C).

ON/OFF control

The diagrams below show the control sequence for 2-position control.

Note:

  • The diagrams only show the PI thermostat’s proportional part.

  • For the fan sequence see section 3.8.

Setting the sequence and the control outputs

Refer to section 3.4, section 3.6.1, and section 3.7.
