The factory setting for control is “PID slow”, ideal for most heating systems. Optimum control can be selected if control does not provide the desired result:

2-position, 1 K

2-position controller with 1 [K] switching hysteresis

  • For systems with small capacity that appear slow
  • For applications requiring extended runtimes or where frequent switching causes problems
  • For difficult control loops where hunting may result

Typical applications:

  • Dry floor heating systems
  • Heat pumps
  • Electric heating with contactors

2-position, 0.5 K

  • 2-position controller with 0.5 [K] switching hysteresis.
  • For general control situations. Provides better comfort than 1 [K] switching hysteresis.
  • Can also be used for difficult control situations.

PID slow

PID control behavior for slow heating systems that require longer minimum On times and a limited number of switching cycles per hour.

Typical applications:

  • Wet floor heating systems, oil fired boilers
  • Can also be used for all other types of heating applications. (Alternative setting)

Minimum switch on/off time

> 4 minutes

Minimum period

Approximately 12 minutes

PID fast

PID control behavior for fast heating systems that tolerate a high number of switching cycles.

Typical applications:

  • Electric heaters with current valve
  • Gas boilers
  • Fast thermal actuators

Minimum switch on/off time

> 1 minute

Minimum period

Approximately 6 minutes

WARNING

Do not use PID fast for oil boilers or
electric mechanical actuators!
