they must be designed for 100% ON-time. When using several transformers in one system, the connection terminal 1
must be galvanically connected. SF13 is designed for operation of AC 24 V safety extra-low voltage and is short-circuit-
proof. Supplying voltages above AC 24 V to low voltage connections may damage the controller or other devices.
Connection to voltages exceeding 42 V endangers personnel safety.

1= average, 2= minimum, 3= maximum, 4= differential

 Set jumpers on the back of the controller: 0–10VDC (default), 0–20mA, or RT/DI (passive temperature or binary)
 Further define analog inputs with U00
 Match sensor range to input display. With a differential pressure transmitter having 0–200 Pa measuring range set
UO1 display minimum to 0 and U02 display maximum to 200. The allowable range value of -50–205 may be adjusted
with multipliers inU03. The largest displayable values are -990–9999. Limiting range increases resolution. Applies to
analog as well as passive temperature inputs.
 For binary input (open/close contact) set the jumper to RT/DI and parameter U00 to an analog input. An open
contact reads as a high value (100%), a closed contact as a low value (0%).
 Enable / Disable an alarm. Setting the alarm enable to OFF will prevent the alarm from being displayed on screen. It
may never the less be used to control an output by setting the appropriate output alarm flags. This way, an alarm
limit may be used as interlock.
 Specify the input value that triggers an alarm. Hysteresis is the difference between alarm level input and value
required to turn the alarm off. An alarm is displayed as text if enabled (see table). Alarm text can be set to blink
continuously until acknowledged by pressing the OPTION button or only while the alarm conditions are active (see
user parameter UP15).
Input 1T 1H 1U 2U
Low limit ALA1 ALA3 ALA5 ALA7
High limit ALA2 ALA4 ALA6 ALA8
 Calculate mathematical functions over multiple inputs for loop control or display with xU12. In order to calculate
average, minimum or maximum between several inputs, make sure all the inputs are of identical type and range and
then activate the same function on xU12 on all the selected inputs. The largest input of the group selected will carry
the calculated value. For example: When average is activated on 2U12 and 1U12 = 1, the average is carried on
UI2.UI2 may now be used as input for control loops and it will show the average value of UI1 and UI2 combined. It is
possible to use different functions on different inputs. For example: minimum of UI1 and UI3 and maximum of UI2
and UI4.
 The differential function may only be calculated on subsequent inputs. Such as UI2-UI1. The function must only be
activated on the minuend (UI2 in this example). The displayed value of the minuend will change into the difference:
UI2 in – UI1 = UI2 out. It is possible to have multiple differentials on one controller. It is not possible to reverse the
subtraction to UI1-UI2.

1L 26 Setpoint compensation range, the maximum range the setpoint is shifted. Acc input 0.0°C
0 = Temperature setback: the setpoint is shifted towards setpoint limit
 Economy mode setpoints: There are two possibilities to change the setpoint in economy mode: Shift it by L07 or
switch to the minimum setpoint limit in heating mode and maximum setpoint limit in cooling.
Economy mode may be disabled by setting UP06 to OFF.
 Control loops and sequences are activated when output parameters are defined.
 Cascade control
In cascade control (L06) the setpoint of the secondary loop is determined by the demand of the primary loop. The
setpoint of the secondary loop is calculated proportionally according to demand of the primary loop between minimum
and maximum setpoint limits. Cascade control is activated by setting the parameter XL06 of the secondary control
loop.
A typical application is a variable air volume system where the temperature output determines the pressure set point.
Cascade Control Example – VAV Application
Primary loop = temperature (1L) Secondary loop = airflow/pressure (2L)
Settings: 2L01=20%, 2L02=60%, 2L06=2
Depending on temperature setpoint, Based on demand of loop 1, the setpoint of pressure loop is calculated
the demand is calculated for loop 1. proportionally between min (20%) and max (60%) pressure setpoint limits.
For example 40%. A demand of 40% will result in a setpoint of 36% in the above example.
 Setpoint Compensation
The setpoint compensation is typically used to compensate the set point due to a change in outside temperature. The
relationship to the input used to drive the setpoint compensation is defined in auxiliary functions FU00 to FU07.
 Enable summer or winter set point compensation for this control loop with L05. Define the compensation range with
L26.L26 defines the full setpoint shift once the compensation input has reached its lower limit in winter mode or
upper limit in summer mode.
Setting the range parameter to 0 will activate the setpoint setback function: The setback function shifts the set point
toward the set point minimum or the set point maximum based on an external input value. Once the compensation
input has reached its lower limit in winter mode or upper limit in summer mode, the setpoint is fixed to the setpoint
minimum or maximum value. Commonly this is used for humidity control to avoid condensation on outside walls or
windows in very cold weather.

1L 15 0–255 1 sec.
low= fast reaction, high value= slow reaction

 Proportional control(P-band)
The proportional control function calculates the output based on the difference between setpoint and measured value.
The proportional band (P-band) defines the difference between setpoint and measured value which will result in a 100%
output. For example, with a heating or reverse 0-10v control sequence, and a 2.0°C (4.0°F) P-band value, at 10v the
controller will be 2.0°C (4.0°F) below setpoint. This is the working range of the proportional control sequence.
Setting the proportional band to 0 disables proportional control.
 Integral and Differential control
Proportional control is in most cases a very stable control mode. The flaw of proportional control alone, however, is
that the setpoint is normally not reached. As the measured value gets closer to the setpoint, the output reduces until
it reaches a point, a fraction above or below the setpoint, where the output equals the load. To reach the setpoint and
achieve a higher level in comfort the Integral/Differential function should be activated.
Integral Gain (KI)dynamically increases the output by the selected KI value every Measuring Interval TI until the
setpoint is reached. The challenge is to prevent hunting, where the output increases too fast, the temperature
overshoots the setpoint, the output goes to 0, the temperature undershoots the setpoint, and the cycle repeats itself.
Hunting may result if the integral gainis too high or measuring interval too short. Each system is different. To prevent
instability the P-band should be extended when integral gain is active (L14 or L15 set above 0).
Setting the integral gain to 0 disables integral and differential control.

 Cumulative stage action (L16=0)is typically used in electric heat applications, and single stage action (L16=1)in fan
speed applications. Digital stage action (L16=2) is especially useful in electric heat applications to generate three
steps with just two outputs. For example: Step 1=100W, step 2=200W, step 3=300W.

 Switching hysteresis (L21) is the difference between switching on and switching off. A small hysteresis will increase
the number of switching cycles and thus the wear on associated equipment.
 With switching delay (L22) cumulative stages will not switch on simultaneously. With a sudden demand or initial
power stage 2 will not start earlier than 10 seconds (default value) after stage 1 has been initiated.

 A control loop, special function, digital control or analog control sequence is not active until it is assigned an output.
 Low and high limit alarms are defined with input parameters. With output parameters assign an Output Priority
alarm to an output and select output state. The required output for each alarm can be 1. Alarm level low

4. Control function
 With manual positioning (1A00=4) position the output by time schedule or directly in 0.5%
steps. Setting 1A01 to 0 will disable manual positioning. The output will then only be controlled by time schedule.
 With dehumidifying (1A00=3)the maximum value is taken of cooling and dehumidifying PI sequences. Cooling will
operate when the humidity is too high (even without demand) and heating will activate to dehumidify the air.
 Input values of inputs and set points of control loops may be transmitted on the analog outputs.
 For VAV Function individual minimum and
maximum limits may be assigned for cooling and Cooling
heating. In VAV applications maximum cooling YC1,YD1
output matches the maximum air volume the Heating
VAV box is set to deliver. As demand for airflow 100 YH1,YR1

in cooling mode decreases, airflow dwindles until
it reaches minimum cooling output (1A05). This 50

minimum will be based on the airflow needed at 1A03 1A05
design cooling and is typically 10% to 15% of 0

maximum cooling airflow. When this minimum is
reached the system is in dead-band – neither T (°C/F), U(V, mA)
heating nor cooling. Minimum airflow in heating XDZ
mode is set with 1A03. As the system moves into
heating mode, heating airflow increases until it
reaches the maximum heating output (1A04), typically 30 to 50% of maximum cooling airflow.

the humidity is too high (even without demand) and heating will activate to dehumidify the air.
 For floating point outputs the running time of the actuator used needs to be specified with 1d03. Running time is
defined as the time required for the actuator to run from fully open to fully closed and vice versa. Actuators with a
fixed running time are recommended. Once fully open or fully closed the running time for the actuator is extended for
a full run-time cycle. This will allow the actuator position to be synchronized in case it has been moved during off time
or an actuator with variable running time was used. Use switching difference parameter 1d04, to reduce the switching
frequency of the actuator. The actuator will only move if the difference to the current actuator position is larger than
this parameter.
 State functions (1d01=5)activate the output based on certain conditions with or without a demand for heating or
cooling, in either comfort or standby mode. In Energy Hold OFF mode (EHO) the output will be off.

once per cycle. The on and off times are calculated according to the PI settings of the respective control sequence
(see control loop Parameters L09–L15).SF13-W11 and SF13-W22 use relays for the digital outputs. It is not
recommended to use cycle times below 100 seconds as the lifetime of the relays will be shortened with frequent
switching. For PWM applications requiring cycle times below 100 seconds we recommend using SF13-W13 with TRIAC
outputs.

an outdoor temperature input. Winter compensation starts when outside temperature drops below the upper limit of
winter compensation (FU03). At maximum winter compensation the actual set point will be equal to the control loop’s
maximum heating set point (L02). Summer compensation starts when outside temperature exceeds the lower limit
for summer compensation (FU05). At maximum summer compensation the actual set point will be equal to the

 Switch heating/cooling state based on a universal input value. The input may be from a supply media (air or water)
or outdoor air temperature sensor. For supply media temperature we recommend switching to cooling at 16°C/61°F
and to heating at 28°C/83°F. For outdoor temperature we recommend switching to cooling at 28°C/83°F and to
heating at 16°C/61°F outdoor temperature. These recommendations are given as suggestions. The ideal settings may
be different on the actual project depending on climatic and system conditions.
 The change between heating and cooling is delayed to avoid unnecessary switching (FU21). Heat/cool status of one
control loop may also be determined by the heat/cool state of the other loop (FU20= 5 or 6). The control loop used to
determine the heat /cool state must be set to demand-based heating and cooling with (L23). Set limit 1 and limit 2 to
