Samson 5476 manual Gradient characteristic

Functions of the heating circuit

Function	WE	Configuration
Outdoor temperature – Current input	OFF	FB18 = ON
		0: 0 to 20 mA = –20 to 50 °C
		4: 4 to 20 mA = –20 to 50 °C

5.1.1 Gradient characteristic

Basically, the following rule applies: a decrease in the outdoor temperature causes the flow tem- perature to increase. By varying the Gradient and Level parameters, you can adapt the charac- teristic to your individual requirements. Increasing Gradient results in a higher flow tempera- ture, decreasing Gradient in a lower flow temperature. The Level parameter performs a parallel transport of the heating characteristic in an upward or downward direction.

Outside the times-of-use, reduced set points are used for control: Reduced flow set point = Flow set point – Set-back difference.

The Max. flow temperature and Min. flow temperature parameters mark the upper and lower lim- its of the flow temperature. A separate gradient characteristic can be selected for the limitation of the return flow temperature.

Examples for adjusting the characteristic:

￿Old building, radiator design 90/70: Gradient approx. 1.8

￿New building, radiator design 70/55: Gradient approx. 1.4

￿New building, radiator design 55/45: Gradient approx. 1.0

￿Underfloor heating depending on arrangement: Gradient smaller 0.5
