This feature can also be used to compensate for building

 

 

 

recirculation loops (hot water returning to the storage tank) that

 

 

 

may cause the heating cycles to terminate prematurely.

probe is 120°F (49°C) and the Offset setting for the probe is

adjusted to a value other than 0°, the control system would

 

 

 

calibrate or “offset” the sensed temperature from the probe.

 

 

 

Heating cycles would be activated and deactivated based on

 

 

 

the calibrated (offset) temperature.

 

 

 

Note: The Tank Probe Offset should only be used if the hot water supply temperature varies greatly from the Operating Set Point setting. These settings are adjusted in the same way described for the Operating Set Point and Differential Adjustment.
