2 Handling
2.1 Installation
2.1.1 Mounting location
Boiler control panel

In the control panel front
2.1.2 Regulations for installation
A clearance of at least 10 mm must be provided on all sides of the controller,

enabling the unit to emit the amount of heat produced during its operation. The
space should not be accessible and no objects should be placed there.
The controller is designed for mounting in a boiler control panel. Power to the
controller may be supplied only after it is completely fitted in the cutout. If this is not
observed, there is a risk of electric shock near the terminals and through the
cooling slots.
If the controller shall be mounted directly on the wall, a housing must be used to
provide protection against electric shock hazard. The housing must have a
sufficient number of cooling slots at the bottom and the top, allowing the controller
to emit the heat it produces.
The controller has been designed based on the guidelines of safety class 2 and
must therefore be mounted in compliance with these regulations.
The controller may not be exposed to dripping water.
Permissible ambient temperature: 0...50 C
2.1.3 Mounting procedure
1. step Description Diagram

Turn off power supply
Pull the prefabricated cables

Decrease: The flow temperature will be raised less when the outside
temperature drops
The following settings produce the following effects:
2.5...40.0 The controller delivers a weather-compensated flow temperature.
--:- The controller delivers no weather-compensated flow temperature.

To release heat generation, an external heat demand signal is required.
Frost protection for the plant is active, but not frost protection for the
building. The settings and the display on the room unit are also
deactivated.
Notes The setting of the heating curve slope (value from 2.5 to 40 or inactive - - - ) affects the
automatic generation of plant type (operating line 53).
An external demand for heat can be delivered to the controller via LPB (LPB-
compatible controllers) or input H1 (controllers of other manufacture). If several signals
are present, the controller will use the highest of them as the setpoint.
The heating curve Using the heating curve, the controller generates the flow temperature setpoint,
enabling the system to maintain a constant room temperature even without using a
room temperature sensor.
The steeper the slope of the heating curve, the higher the flow temperature setpoint at
low outside temperatures.
Note Comfort is considerably enhanced when using a room temperature sensor.

Description This parameter setting defines the function adopted by the temperature sensor
connected to terminal B70/B4.
2. Press the + / - buttons to select the required function of the input B70/B4.
1...2 - 1
Effect Depending on the setting made, the sensor provides the following function:
1 The sensor is used for measuring the return temperature (B70).
2 The sensor is used for measuring the buffer storage tank temperature (B4).
Use in cascades If, with the first controller, sensor input B70/B4 is defined for use with a return
temperature sensor (B70), for instance, it can be defined with another controller of the
74/166

cascade for use with a buffer storage tank temperature sensor (B4). The sensor values
are automatically transmitted to the cascade master. Within a cascade, each type of
sensor may occur only once (with the exception of the outside sensor).
Use as a buffer storage When using input B70/B4 for a buffer storage tank temperature sensor (B4), the
tank temperature sensor temperature measured at B4 is used to decide whether the consumers receive their
heat from the cascade or from the buffer storage tank.
If the temperature measured in the buffer storage tank is higher than the flow
temperature called for by the consumers, the cascade will be locked and the
consumers receive their heat from the buffer storage tank.
If the temperature measured in the buffer storage tank is lower than the flow
temperature called for by the consuemrs, the buffer storage tank will be locked and the
consumers receive their heat solely from the cascade.
Example Example of a hydraulic circuit with a buffer storage tank. The buffer storage tank can be
charged by any type of heat source (wood-fired boiler, solar collectors, heat pump, etc).

match of room temperature setpoints and actual room temperatures.
2. Press the + / buttons to set the parallel displacement..
-4.5...+4.5 C (K) 0.0
Effect By changing the value entered, all room temperature setpoints will be appropriately
raised or lowered. This allows the room temperature setpoints to be matched to the
effective room temperatures.
Example: If a nominal room temperature setpoint of 20 C adjusted on the controller always
produces a room temperature of 22 C (independent of the prevailing outside
temperature), displace the heating curve downward by 2 C.
Parallel displacement Each setpoint readjustment, be it by changing the setting value or the operational level,
corresponds to a parallel displacement of the heating curve.

Effect The setting will switch automatic adaption of the heating curve on or off.
Entry:
0 Automatic adaption inactive: The heating curve will use the setting made
1 Automatic adaption active: In automatic mode (nominal room temperature

setpoint ), the heating curve will automatically and continuously be adapted
Note Prerequisite is the presence of a room temperature sensor.
Adaption The adaption facility automatically matches the heating curve to the type of building
construction and the heating requirements. Adaption gives consideration to room
temperature deviations, outside temperature characteristics and adaption sensitivity.
Note To achieve optimum adaption, the following situations should occur as rarely as
possible - especially after commissioning - since this would reset certain calculations
required for the adaption:
Manual correction of heating curve
Power failure
Heating curve set to --.-
Changes to the room temperature setpoint
Process Every day at midnight, the room temperature control differential of the previous day is
evaluated. This evaluation leads to an automatic readjustment of the heating curve.
Simple adaption (range ):
At attenuated outside temperatures below 4 C, it is only the slope of the heating
curve that is adapted.
Within this temperature range, the readjustment is weighted with the factor f2 and
adaption sensitivity 2 (line 37OEM).
Combined adaption (range ):

At attenuated outside temperatures of between 4 and 12 C, it is partly the slope
and partly the parallel displacement that are adapted.
Within this temperature range, the readjustment of the parallel displacement is

weighted with the factor f1 and adaption sensitivity 1 (line 36OEM).
81/166

The readjustment of the slope in this temperature range is weighed with factor f2
and adaption sensitivity 2 (line 37OEM).
No adaption (range ):
At attenuated outside temperatures above 12 C, the heating curve will not be
adapted.

Effect 00:00 Optimum start control switched off
00:10...06:00 Optimum start control switched on
82/166

4.34.1 Optimum start control
Optimum start control acts with or without room influence.

The maximum forward shift can be set with parameter Maximum forward shift with
optimum start control (range 06 h). This parameter can also be used to switch
optimum start control off (setting 0).
During non-occupancy hours, the heating is maintained at the reduced level. Towards
the end of the nonoccupancy time, optimization switches the control back to the normal
level.
Optimization calculates the changeover time such that, at the start of occupancy, the
room temperature will have reached the nominal setpoint.
4.34.2 Without room influence
The composite outside temperature is used as the compensating variable. In the case
of floor heating systems, the maximum forward shift should be longer than with radiator
systems.
Using the parameter for the constant of quick setback and optimum start control (KON),
the forward shift can be matched the building dynamics.

up time is fairly long
4.34.3 With room influence
Optimum start control acts only when room influence is active.
The switch-on time for the heating (change to nominal level) is selected such that, at
the beginning of the occupancy time according to the heating program, the room
temperature reached will be the room temperature setpoint - 0.25 K.
The correct switch-on time is determined by adaption.

Effect 00:00 Optimum stop control deactivated
00:10...06:00 Optimum stop control activated
4.35.1 Optimum stop control
Optimum stop control acts only when a room sensor is used and when room influence
is active.
The maximum forward shift can be set with parameter Maximum forward shift with
optimum stop control (range is 06 h). This parameter can also be used to switch
optimum stop control off (setting = 0).
During occupancy hours, the heating is maintained at the nominal level. Towards the
end of the occupancy time, the control switches to the reduced level.
Optimization calculates the changeover time such that, at the end of occupancy time,
the room temperature will be 0.5 C below the nominal setpoint (early shutdown).
Adaption takes place only with the first occupancy period per day. The switch-off point
is adapted in steps of 10 minutes. If the 0.25 K are not reached, the switch-off point is
shifted forward by 10 minutes (earlier shutdown). In the other case, the switch-off point
is shifted backward by 10 minutes (later shutdown).

The d.h.w. temperature is always maintained at the nominal d.h.w. temperature

setpoint, independent of any time switch programs (setting line 13).
2371Z18
Example:
0 6 12 18 24 h
4.37.2 Operation according to heating program(s) with

forward shift - Setting 1
For d.h.w. heating, the heating circuit time switch programs of the controllers in the
selected range are taken into consideration. The selection of the range (local / segment
/ system) for which the d.h.w. is produced is made on operating line 123.
The switch-on point for the release is shifted forward in time against the earliest switch-
on point of all heating circuits. The switch-off point for the release coincides with the
last switch-off point of all heating circuits.
At the switch-on point, the controller switches from the reduced d.h.w. temperature
setpoint (operating line 120) to the nominal d.h.w. temperature setpoint (operating line
13).
At the switch-off point, the controller switches from the nominal to the reduced d.h.w.
temperature setpoint.
86/166

Note The extent to which the switch-on point is shifted forward in time depends on the
number of d.h.w. heating cycles permitted in a 24-hour period (operating line 124):

Benefit Assignment of d.h.w. heating to the respective consumers

All relevant time switch programs are taken into consideration
Controllers in holiday mode are taken into consideration
Description Determines the consumers for which d.h.w. will be heated and which time switch
programs will be appropriately considered, also checking whether the relevant
controllers are in holiday mode.
2. Press the + / buttons to select the required assignment.
0...2 Increment 2
Effect Depending on the selection made, the d.h.w. will be heated for the following
consumers:
0 For the local consumer only (RVA47.320)
1 For all consumers (controllers) in the same segment
2 For all consumers (controllers) in the LPB system
In the case of d.h.w. heating according to the heating circuit time switch program
(operating line 121, setting 1), the time switch programs are used from the appropriate
range for the release of d.h.w. heating at the nominal temperature setpoint, based on
the consumers selected here.
With all settings (operating line 121, setting 0 - 2), it is checked whether the controllers
of the selected range are in holiday mode. Controllers in holiday mode will not be
considered for d.h.w. heating.
Important If all controllers in the selected range are in holiday mode, d.h.w. heating will not be
released. Only the frost protection function will remain active (function with no setting).
4.40 Number of d.h.w. charging cycles
Benefit Choice of one or several d.h.w. charging cycles

Forward shift of release matched to the number of d.h.w. charging cycles
Description With this setting, d.h.w. heating can be reduced to one charging cycle per day. The
forward shift of d.h.w. heating against the range selected on operating line 123 will be
appropriately adjusted.
Note This setting is effective only if, on operating line 121, setting 1 (according to the heating
circuit time switch program(s)) has been selected.

4.40.1 Once per day with a forward shift of 2.5 hours

Setting 0
The number of daily releases for d.h.w. heating at the nominal temperature setpoint is
limited to one. Also with this setting, the switch-on point is shifted forward by 2.5 hours
against the range selected on line 123.
On days where space heating at the nominal room temperature setpoint is provided for
24 hours, d.h.w. heating is released at midnight for 2.5 hours.
4.40.2 Several times per day with a forward shift of 1 hour

Setting 1
The number of d.h.w. charging cycles will not be limited. Also with this setting, the

2. Press the + / - buttons to select the type of d.h.w. demand.
0/1 Increment 0
Effect By making this setting, the controller takes into account the signal fed to it by the d.h.w.
sensor connected to terminal B3.
Entry:
0: Sensor: the temperature measured with the sensor connected to terminal B3 is
used for the control of the d.h.w. temperature.
1: Control thermostat: the switching status of the control thermostat connected to
terminal B3 is used for the control of the d.h.w. temperature.
89/166

Important The contacts of the control thermostat must be suited for extra low voltage (gold-
plated)!
Difference When using a d.h.w. sensor:

The controller calculates the switching points with the respective switching differential
as a function of the d.h.w. temperature setpoint entered.
Sensor / line with a short- = fault message

Sensor value available = d.h.w. according to the current setpoint
Sensor / line with a short- = no d.h.w.
When using a d.h.w. control thermostat:

The controller takes into consideration the switching statuses of the control thermostat.
Line / terminal with short-circuit = d.h.w. charging ON

Line / terminal with open-circuit = d.h.w charging OFF
Contact resistance too high = error message from the thermostat
Note When using a d.h.w. control thermostat, reduced operation is not possible.
Important when using a The nominal d.h.w. temperature setpoint (operating line 13) must be equal to or
d.h.w. thermostat higher than the setpoint adjusted on the control thermostat (thermostat is calibrated
at switch-off point)
Boost of the flow temperature setpoint (setting on operating line 126) must be

The controller-internal heating circuit and the heating circuits of other controllers
connected to the LPB will be locked until the d.h.w. is heated up. The system
pump remains in operation.
1 Shifting priority If the capacity of the heat generating equipment is no longer

sufficient, the amount of heat supplied to the heating circuits will be restricted
until d.h.w. heating is terminated.
2 No priority: D.h.w. heating and space heating at the same time.
91/166

In the case of tightly sized boilers and mixing heating circuits, the setpoint may
not be reached if the heating load is great, since too much heat is required for
space heating.
3 Shifting / absolute priority

If the capacity of the heat source is no longer sufficient, the mixing heating
circuits will be restricted until d.h.w. heating is terminated. The pump heating
circuits will be locked until d,h.w. is heated up.
Frost protection for the Frost protection for the plant is fully active only in the case of setting 2. With setting 0 or
plant 1, it will be partly or fully restricted. If the boiler is correctly sized, frost protection for the
plant is also ensured when using setting 1. In the case of plants where there is a
considerable risk of frost (e.g. plants with outdoor heating), setting 0 should not be
used.
4.43.1 Shifting priority
The purpose of the function "Shifting priority" is to achieve optimum d.h.w. heating. This
means that during d.h.w. heating, the actual boiler temperature should be as close as
possible to the boiler temperature setpoint without shutting down the burner. To
achieve this, it may be necessary to restrict the heating circuits by means of a locking
signal. The signal is generated by a temperature-time integral.
Depending on the consumer, the locking signal will lead to switching on / off or a
setpoint reduction.
Impact on 2-position Cycling or deactivation of the pumps will reduce the amount of heat drawn from the
loads heat source. This will considerably shorten the time required for heating up the d.h.w.
Heating circuit pump:
Status Effect
Locking signal < 20 % Normal pump operation
Locking signal > 20 % Heating circuit pump cycles
Locking signal > 93 % Heating circuit pump OFF
D.h.w. pump or boiler pump:

No effect
Switching point Through the generation of the temperature-time integral it is not only the period of time
that is considered, but also the extent of the undershoot. This means that when the
crossing is significant, the pumps will be deactivated earlier.
Impact on modulating The consumption of heat is considerably reduced through the reduction of the flow
loads temperature setpoints. This reduces considerably the heating up time for d.h.w., with a
minimum impact on the heating circuits.
Mixing valve:
Status Effect
Locking signal > 0 % Flow temperature setpoints will be lowered.
The extent of lowering is dependent on the magnitude and the period of
time of the undershoot.
Locking signal reduced to Setpoints according to the normal control condition

0%
setpoint reduction Through the generation of the temperature-time integral it is not only the period of time
that is considered, but also the extent of the undershoot. This means that when the
undershoot is significant, the setpoint reduction will be greater.
92/166

Temperature-time This temperature-time integral generates the locking signal for restricting the heating
integral circuits.
When generating the locking signal, one of four different procedures is used:
Diagram Procedure
a to b Within a foreseeable period of time, the actual value of the boiler
temperature (TKx) will no longer be within the switching differential of
the boiler temperature setpoint.
Locking signal will be increased

4.44 Demand for heat with reduced d.h.w.
setpoint
Benefit Selectable type of heat demand with reduced d.h.w. setpoint
Description In connection with alternative sources of energy, an early release of heat generation
(BMUs) for d.h.w. heating outside the main occupancy times is often undesirable. A
choice of two different procedures is available releasing the cascade earlier or later.
2. Press the + / - buttons to select the required assignment.
0/1 - 1
Effect The setting determines whether or not heat generation will be released for maintaining
the reduced d.h.w. setpoint:
No (use with buffer storage tank and alternative heat source).

Outside the main occupancy hours, the attempt is made to bring the d.h.w.
temperature to the reduced setpoint level using energy from the buffer storage
tank. This means that the d.h.w. charging pump runs but the demand for heat
will be suppressed. Heat generation for d.h.w. charging will be released only
(d.h.w. push) when the d.h.w. temperature has dropped below the reduced
setpoint by twice the d.h.w. switching differential (41OEM).
Yes (standard procedure).

Outside the main occupancy hours, the d.h.w. temperature is raised to the level
of the reduced setpoint. This is accomplished by sensing a heat demand signal
to the heat source (individual boiler or cascade).

5.10 Overtemperature protection for the pump
heating circuit
Benefit Prevents overtemperatures in the pump heating circuit

Enhances the control performance of a pump heating circuit
Description The flow temperature can be higher than that called for by the pump heating circuit
(e.g. in the case of a higher setpoint demand by another consumer). The controller
offsets the surplus energy by letting the pump cycle, thus preventing the pump heating
circuit from overheating.
2. Press the + / - buttons to activate or deactivate the overtemperature protection.
0/1 - 1
Effect The pump of the pump heating circuit will cycle in a way that the effect of too high flow
temperatures will be offset.
0 Overtemperature protection deactivated

1 Overtemperature protection activated
The cycling period is fixed at 10 min. This period of time will be broken down according
to the following on time ratio:
TVwGef TRw
On time ratio
=
TVxGed TRw
On time ratio
TVwGef Demanded flow temperature setpoint
TRw Current room temperature setpoint
TVxGed Actual value of the attenuated flow temperature
TVKx Actual value of cascade flow temperature (B10)
Note In the case of a single boiler plant without a cascade flow temperature sensor (B10),
the boiler temperature is used in place of the actual value of the cascade flow
temperature (TVKx).
Running time Multiplication of the on time ratio by the cycling period (10 minutes) gives the number of
minutes for which the pump runs.
This means that with an on time ratio of 0.6, the pump runs for 6 minutes and is then
switched off for the remaining 4 minutes of the cycling period.
119/166

Limitations The pumps running time is set to a minimum of 3 minutes.
The pumps off time is set to a minimum of 2 minutes.
Also, the pump will be activated and deactivated at the following switching points:
Pump continuously ON TVxGed TVwGef ( 1)
Pump continuously TVwGef TRw < TVxGed
OFF
Important The function of a room temperature sensor - if present - overrides that of the
overtemperature protection.
5.11 Heat gains

The setting in C corresponds to the temperature differential that would result if the
room was solely heated by the heat gains.
5.12 Adaption sensitivity 1
Benefit Adaption of the heating curve as a function of the outside temperature
Description Adaption sensitivity 1 serves for calculating the adaption of the heating curve in the
temperature range 4 to 12 C (also refer to section "Adaption of heating curve, line
106).

2. Press the + / - buttons to adjust adaption sensitivity 1.

1...15 15
120/166

The level of adaption sensitivity is automatically adapted by the controller and,
therefore, need not be manually adjusted.
Effect The heating curve in the temperature range 4 to 12 C will be differently adapted,
depending on the level of adaption sensitivity 1.
Increase: More adaption
Decrease: Less adaption
Reduction Each time a significant adaption of the heating curve between 4 and 12 C (ZAF1) has
taken place, adaption sensitivity 1 will automatically be reduced by one step. This
means that the extent of adaption and thus the readjustment of the slope and the
heating curves parallel displacement will gradually be reduced .
Note When readjusting the slope of the heating curve (line 17), the adaption sensitivity will
automatically be reset to the factory-set value.
Diagram Refer to the next section "Adaption sensitivity 2.

depending on the level of adaption sensitivity 2.
Increase: More adaption
Decrease: Less adaption
Reduction Each time a significant adaption of the heating curve below 4 C (ZAF2) has taken
place, adaption sensitivity 2 will automatically be reduced by one step. This means that
the extent of adaption and thus the readjustment of the heating curves slope will
gradually be reduced.
Note When readjusting the slope of the heating curve (line 17), the adaption sensitivity will
automatically be reset to the factory-set value.

Note Proceed as follows to make the required setting:

- First, determine the required type of lead boiler operation
- Determine the required running time strategy
- Use the above table to choose the setting required for your application
127/166

6.4.1 Type of lead boiler operation
General The type of lead boiler operation describes the way the individual boilers in the cascade
are controlled.
Autonomous: The RVA47.320 delivers a boiler temperature setpoint to the BMUs.

The released BMUs then control their output autonomously between 0 and 100 % in
order to reach the preset boiler temperature setpoint.
wt = 70C wt = 70C wt = 70C wt = 70C

Example:
2379z04
1 2 3 4
P = 50 % P = 51 % P = 53 % P = 48 %
wt = Boiler temperature setpoint = Actual output
It is thus possible that individual boilers will be operated outside their output range. The
average actual output is within the defined output range, however (for exceptions, refer
to lines 51 and 52).
linked: A differentiation is made between lead boiler and lag boilers. The RVA47.320 delivers a
temperature setpoint to the lead boiler, which translates it into output. The lag boilers
take this output as maximum limitation of output, thus following the lead boiler.
wt = 70C
Example:
1 2 4 2379z04
3
T = 69C T = 68C T = 73C
P = 50 % wp = 50 % wp = 50 % wp = 50 %
wt = Boiler temperature setpoint for lead boiler

wp = Nominal output setpoint for BMUs 1 - 4
P = Actual output
T = Actual temperature
This means that all boilers will be operated within the defined output range (for
exceptions, refer to pages 14 and 132).
Note In the case of linked lead boiler operation, the controller considers the ratio of the
nominal BMU outputs and matches the speed of lag boiler operation accordingly.
128/166

6.4.2 Running time strategies
General The running time strategy defines the criteria for the switching on / off of the lag boilers.
It is determined by the following parameters:
- Nominal output of BMU 1 - 4 See line 91 -94
- Entry of minimum limit of output range (Pmin) See line 10OEM
- Entry of maximum limit of output range (Pmax) See line 52OEM
The RVA47.320 initiates changeover only when it leads to a valid operational status
while taking the above parameters into consideration.
Notes The following parameters also have an impact on the function:

- Delayed switching on of BMU see line 133
- Restart lock for BMU see line 134
For stability reasons, each BMU added to the cascade first runs on the basic stage for
about one minute on completion of which it will be released for modulating control to
deliver the output required.
Important The running time strategies described below become active only when the flow
temperature setpoint is reached. During the heating up time (e.g. after night setback),
the boilers required are run up to the maximum released output as quickly as possible
(short heating up time).
Strategy 1: Additional boilers are switched on as late as possible and switched off again as early as
possible. Hence, the aim is to have the smallest possible number of boilers in
operation, or to obtain short running times for additional boilers.

2. Press the + / - buttons to set the minimum limitation of the output.
5...Pmax % 40
Pmax. = upper limit of output range (operating line 52)
Note Typically, the set minimum limitation of the output lies above the lowest basic stage of
all BMUs. A lower setting causes several BMUs to cycle Do not use lower settings
without having tested them in practical operation.
Effect The setting defines the minimum limit of the output range within which the BMUs are
controlled. The value is used as the switch-on or switch-off criterion according to the
selected running time strategy (refer to page 129).
Pmax

the setting of the value is too high, or when, due tot he BMUs' output ratio, an invalid
operational status would result after changeover.
131/166

6.6 Upper limit of output range (Pmax)
Benefit The maximum output of the BMUs can be defined.
Description Defines the maximum limit of the optimum output range used by the BMUs.
2. Press the + / - buttons to set the maximum limitation of the output.
Pmin...100 % 90
Pmin. = minimum limit of output range (operating line 51)
Effect The setting defines the maximum limit of the output range within which the BMUs are
controlled. The value is used as the switch-on or switch-off criterion according to the
selected running time strategy (refer to page 129).
Pmax
Output range of BMUs

Pmin
2379Z06
The maximum limit of the output range (when <100 %) is crossed only when all
available BMUs run at Pmax and there is still demand for heat.
Otherwise, crossing only takes place in exceptional cases, e.g. when the setting of the
value is too low, or when, due to the BMUs output ratio, an invalid operational status
would result after changeover.
When using a setting of 100 %, the value will of course never be exceeded.
6.7 Mandatory time on basic stage
Benefit The minimum running time on the basic stage can be defined
Description This function allows the minimum running time on the basic stage to be set. This
enables the controller to operate smoothly even if BMUs of very high capacity are used.
2. Press the + / - buttons to adjust the mandatory time on the basic stage.
10...1200 s 60
Effect When started up, each BMU is operated on the basic stage for the period of time
adjusted here. The BMU will be released for modulation only when this time has
elapsed. This period of time enables the controller to analyse the current operational
status and then plan the next steps.
Note When using heat generating equipment of very high capacity, the longer time leads to a
more stable (slower) operating performance.
132/166

6.8 Minimum temperature differential at the
pressureless header
Benefit Detection of a too high flow rate on the heat generation side.
Avoiding excessive return temperatures.
Description An excessive flow rate on the heat generation side and the resulting increase of the
return temperature is quickly detected and, if necessary, offset by shutting down one of
the BMUs.

2. Press the + / - buttons to set the minimum temperature differential.
0...20 K (C) 4
Effect The minimum temperature differential at the pressureless header prevents the return
temperature from exceeding a certain level.
The setting is only active when running time strategy 2 or 3 is selected (see page 35).
With running time strategy 1, the function is inactive.
When the return temperature rises to a level which is half a switching differential (
MTS/2) below the flow temperature (point a), the selected running time strategy 2 or 3
is switched over to running time strategy 1. This means that one of the BMUs is shut
down as soon as possible.
If the return temperature moves away from the flow temperature by one full switching
differential MTS (point b), changeover is cancelled again. This means that running time
strategy 1 switches back to the previous running time strategy 2 or 3.

7 Functions with no settings
Introduction The functions described below require no settings. They are performed automatically
but have an impact on the plant.
For the rectification of faults, planning and plant maintenance, it may therefore be very
advantageous to know about their impact on plant operation.
7.1 Chimney sweep
Benefit Produces the operational status required for flue gas measurements.
Description No chimney sweep function can be triggered on the controller itself. the chimney sweep
function is activated directly on the respective BMU.
Effect As soon as the chimney sweep function is triggered on one of the BMUs of the
cascade, the BMU transmits the signal to the controller, which shuts down all other
BMUs. The controller allows the boiler temperature to rise to a level of 64 C, which is
required to make flue gas measurements, then maintaining that temperature level by
enforcing heat consumption of both the heating circuits and d.h.w.
This action is independent of whether a lead or lag boiler is involved.
By deactivating the chimney sweep function on the BMU, or on completion of a period
of time to be adjusted on the BMU, the controller returns to its initial operational status.
Note For information about the activation of the chimney sweep function and other
information, refer to the technical documentation of the type of BMU used.
7.2 Generating the boiler temperature setpoint
Benefit Demand-dependent control of the burner
Description The various heating circuits require different flow temperature setpoints depending on
the demand for heat. However, since boiler temperature control can consider only one
setpoint, a selection is made.
Process Generally, the demand for the highest setpoint required by a consumer (e.g. by a
heating circuit) generates the current boiler temperature setpoint.
The setpoint requirements considered stem from both controller-internal setpoints
(heating circuit or input H1) and setpoints transmitted via LPB.
Auxiliary functions, such as setpoint boosts and the like, are included in the setpoints
actually demanded at the time.
Exception A demand for d.h.w. has priority over all other setpoint requirements, which means that
the required d.h.w. setpoint will be maintained, even if it is lower than that called for by
a heating circuit.
Effect The boiler temperature is maintained at the highest setpoint currently demanded -
unless d.h.w. is required.

7.3 Automatic 24-hour heating limit
Benefit Automatic shutdown of heating.

Saving energy without sacrificing comfort.
Description This is a fast-acting savings function since the heating is switched off when there is no
more demand for heat. Economical operation is ensured throughout the year,
especially during intermediate seasons. Manual switching off is no longer required.
Notes The automatic 24-hour heating limit does not function in continuous operation
The display shows the automatic 24-hour heating limit as ECO
7.3.1 Without room influence
Introduction If no room unit is connected, the room temperature setpoint will not be readjusted by
the room influence. In that case, the automatic 24-hour heating limit operates according
to the selected setpoint of or .
Process The temperature basis used for this process are the values of the flow temperature
setpoint and the current room temperature setpoint.
Switching off If the flow temperature setpoint falls below the room temperature setpoint plus a
correction value, the heating will be switched off.
Heating OFF:
TVw = TRw +2 S/10
Switching on If the flow temperature setpoint exceeds the room temperature setpoint plus a
correction value, the heating will be switched on.

7.3.2 With room influence
Introduction The automatic 24-hour heating limit operates depending on the current flow
temperature setpoint. If a room unit is connected, the room influence continuously
readjusts the flow temperature setpoint.
This means that the automatic 24-hour heating limit differs when room influence is
used.
Process The temperature basis used for this process are the values of the flow temperature
setpoint and the current room temperature setpoint.

7.4 Quick setback with room sensor
Benefit Making use of the buildings thermal storage capacity.
Description Quick setback is dependent on whether or not a room temperature sensor is used. A
differentiation must therefore be made between quick setback with or without room
sensor.
Important This process has an impact only when a room temperature sensor is used.
Process Quick setback is started as soon as a change to a lower room temperature setpoint
takes place (e.g. switching times in automatic mode).
Quick setback is terminated as soon as the actual room temperature reaches the level
of the respective room temperature setpoint (TRx = TRw).

Effect During quick setback, the heating circuit pump will be deactivated and there will be no
demand for heat. This means that the room temperature falls quicker since the supply
of heat from the flow or boiler is cut off.
Exception Due to frost protection for the plant, the heating circuit pump can be
activated however in spite of quick setback.
Note If no room sensor is connected, quick setback will not be accomplished through this
process. For details, refer to section "Quick setback constant", operating line 31OEM.

7.5 D.h.w. push
Benefit Availability of d.h.w. is also ensured during non-occupancy times.
Description If, due to unexpected demand, the d.h.w. storage tank is emptied, the d.h.w. push
provides one-time charging of the storage tank until the nominal d.h.w. temperature
setpoint is reached.
Process The d.h.w. push is triggered as soon as the actual d.h.w. temperature falls below the
reduced d.h.w. setpoint (line 120) by more than twice the switching differential (line
41OEM).
TBWx < TBWR - 2 SDBW
Effect When the d.h.w. push is triggered, the storage tank is charged once until the nominal
d.h.w. temperature setpoint (operating line 13) is reached.
Then, normal operation according to the d.h.w. heating program is resumed.

7.6 Pump kick
Benefit No seizing of pumps
Description The pump kick is a protective function aimed at preventing the pumps from seizing.
Process Every Friday at 10:00 h, the pumps connected directly to the RVA47.320 are activated
for 30 seconds, one by one at an interval of one minute.
The pump kick is activated without giving consideration to any of the other functions.
Effect During the periods of time pump kick is activated, the water circulates. The mechanical
parts of the pumps will be purged, thus preventing the pumps from seizing.
Note The kick of the d.h.w. pump is the last pump kick made in order to prevent the transfer
of heat from the d.h.w. storage tank to the heating system.
7.7 Protection against discharging after d.h.w.

heating
Benefit Inadvertent discharging of the d.h.w. storage tank will be prevented
Description The Protection against discharging after d.h.w. heating prevents inadvertent
discharging of the d.h.w. storage tank resulting from the pump overrun. Together with
Protection against discharging during d.h.w. heating (operating line 44OEM), efficient
protection against discharging is thus ensured.
Process The controller compares the storage tank temperature with the cascade flow
temperature (common flow temperature) or, in certain situations, with the boiler
temperature.
If the cascade temperature (or the boiler temperature) is lower than the storage tank
temperature, pump overrun will be stopped prematurely.

7.8 Overview of pump operation
Benefit Straightforward checking of proper functioning of the various pumps.
Description Operation of the various pumps depends on a number of factors. To enable you to
quickly understand the different interrelationships when commissioning and checking
the plant, please make use of the list below. It provides information about the setting
combinations (pump settings / demand for heat) at which a pump runs (the meaning of
the different pump settings is defined on operating line 95).

7.9 Frost protection
Benefit Ensures that the boiler and d.h.w. temperature will not fall below a certain level
Note In addition to the frost protection modes described here, frost protection for the building
and frost protection for the plant, whose parameters can be set, are also active. For
details, refer to the description given on lines 15 and 33 OEM.
7.9.1 For the boiler
The frost protection function for the boilers is integrated in the BMUs. For detailed
information, refer to the technical documentation of the product used.
For details, refer to the documentation of the relevant product.
7.9.2 For the d.h.w.
Description Frost protection for the d.h.w. prevents freeze-ups of the d.h.w. storage tank that is
connected directly to the RVA47.320. Whenever the d.h.w. temperature drops
excessively, forced charging will be initiated.
Process If... then...

the actual value of the d.h.w. temperature falls below 5 ... the frost protection
C... function for the d.h.w.
(TBWx < 5 C) becomes active
the actual value of the d.h.w. temperature exceeds 5 C ... the frost protection
by more than one d.h.w. switching differential (line function for d.h.w. will be
41OEM)... terminated
(TBWx > 5 C + SDBW)
Notes The frost protection setpoint for the d.h.w. is factory-set at 5 C and cannot be
changed
Pump overrun will be activated when d.h.w. heating is terminated.
Important The frost protection function only acts on a d.h.w. storage tank connected directly
to the RVA47.320. In the case of plant types with d.h.w. heating via BMU, this
function must be provided by the BMU.
The frost protection function is only active when using a temperature sensor. If the
d.h.w. is heated with the help of a control thermostat, no frost protection function is
possible because there is no actual value of the storage tank temperature.

8 Application examples
General The RVA47.320 can control up to four modulating gas-fired heating boilers. For this
purpose, the boilers must be equipped with an appropriate BMU which controls the
boiler temperature.
In the controllers internal cascade circuit, the RVA47.320 determines the order the
individual BMUs are switched on and off based on the output balance. The boilers are
thus switched on and off temperature over- or undershoot. The individual boilers are
controlled by the respective BMUs.
Furthermore, the controller can ensure the coordination of additional boiler controllers
of a cascade (cascade master function).
D.h.w. heating is provided either directly by the RVA47.320 or by one of the BMUs
based on the values adjusted on the RVA47.320.
The RVA47.320 accepts and handles heat demand signals of additional controllers
connected to the LPB, and of controllers delivering their signals via input H1.
Note On the consumer side, the plant can be extended to include up to 16 controllers without
an additional bus power supply, and up to 40 controllers when using a central bus
power supply (also refer to Basic Documentation LPB System Engineering, reference
number CE1P2370E).
On the heat generation side, additional RVA47.320 or RVA43.222 can be used to build
up a cascade of up to 16 heat sources (modulating, multi-stage or mixed).
Hydraulic circuit Where shown, the applications require proper hydraulic decoupling between heat
generation and heat consumption since the volumetric flows on both sides vary and are
different from one another. The simplest hydraulic decoupling method is the use of a
sufficiently large pressureless header (bypass, hydraulic decoupler; about two to three
nominal sizes larger than the header of the boiler circuit).
With plant types using no boiler pump, a flow switch is required to ensure the flow of
water through the boiler.
When using heating boilers with a speed controlled pump, the pump must be set to a
fixed speed.
Important When designing the plant, it should be made certain that the volumetric flows on the
heat generation and heat consumption side at nominal output are about the same.
outside temperature The outside sensor can be connected either directly to the RVA47.320 or to one of the
sensor BMUs to transmit its value to the controller via the PPS, but it can also be connected to
some other LPB capable controller to transmit its value to the other LPB capable
controllers via the LPB. But it can be connected to some other LPB-compatible
controller to transmit its value via LPB to the other LPB-compatible controllers.
We recommend to connecte it directly to the RVA47.320.
D.h.w. priority When using d.h.w. heating with a charging pump, d.h.w. priority is possible only in
connection with LPB-compatible controllers. Controllers not suited for use with the LPB
cannot be acted upon.
