5. Operating modes 5.1 Low-fire operation Low-fire operation means that only small amounts of heat are drawn from the boiler. A two- position controller maintains the setpoint, switching the burner on and off like a thermostat. This control mode is therefore also known as thermostat function. An adjustable Thermostat function switching differential ensures that the switching frequency of the burner can be selected to reduce wear.
5. Operating modes 5.2.2 Modulating burner, modulating output In diagram area (1), the thermostat function is active. In area (2), the controller is controlling to the adjusted setpoint. 7865w05/1099 HYS3 HYS1 100% The positioning signal is delivered as a standard signal via the modulating output. The modulating controller must be available and configured in the unit (optional).
5. Operating modes 5.2.4 Two-stage burner, modulating output In this case, a standard binary signal switches the second stage into circuit with analog output «X1» on reaching the switch-on threshold «HYS1» and switches it out of circuit at the lower switch-off threshold «HYS2». 7865w04/1099 HYS3 HYS2...

5. Operating modes 5.5 Weather-dependent setpoint shift The RWF40... can be configured in such a way that if a Landis & Staefa Ni1000 outside sensor (e.g. QAC22) is connected, a weather-dependent setpoint shift is implemented. The minimum and maximum setpoint values can be set by the lower setpoint limit «SPL»...
5. Operating modes 5.5.1 Heating curve slope Slope «H» of the heating curve can be used to adjust the setpoint in response to the outside temperature, as shown in the diagram. The common origin of the heating curves is set at (20 °C / 20 °C). The effective range of the weather-adjusted setpoint is restricted by the setpoint limits «SPH»...
5. Operating modes 5.6 Response threshold «Q» The response threshold «Q» defines how long and how low the actual value can drop before the system switches over to high-fire operation. An internal mathematical calculation using an integration function determines the sum of all the areas Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 , as shown in the diagram.
5. Operating modes 5.7 Cold start of the plant When a heating system is switched off for a longer period of time, the actual value will fall. To achieve a faster control response, the controller starts immediately in high-fire operation as soon as the control deviation (x-w) has dropped below a certain limit value. This limit is calculated as follows: Limit value = 2 * (HYS1-HYS3) Example...
6. Operation Assignment of levels All levels can be accessed from the basic display via the button, as shown in the diagram. The upper actual value display (red) indicates the actual value and the parameter values for the various levels. The setpoint and the parameters are indicated in the lower setpoint display (green).
6. Operation 6.1 Basic display The diagram shows the RWF40... after switching on power. This condition is called the basic display. The actual value and the currently active setpoint are shown here. Manual operation, self-setting, the user, parameter and configuration levels can be activated from here.
6. Operation Initialization All displays are lit up; the setpoint display flashes for about 10 seconds after switching on power. Manual operation The actual value is indicated on the upper display. The LED for manual operation is on. Depending on the operating mode and the type of controller, the setpoint or the level of the manual actuator position is shown on the setpoint display (green).

9. Self-setting function 9.1 Self-setting function in high-fire operation «tunE» is only possible in high-fire operation, in the «modulating burner» mode. The self-setting function «tunE» is a pure software function unit that is integrated into the controller. In the «modulating» mode of operation, «tunE» tests the response of the controlled system to steps of the positioning signal according to a special procedure.
