8.8 Selecting and modifying a heating program
What is a heating program?
A heating program provides the automatic changeover of
operating mode (day and night mode) at fixed times. In the factory
setting the heating program also sets the times for DHW heating
and operation of the circulation pump. You can also set up a
separate DHW or circulation program.
Before you select a heating program, consider the following:
– At what time in the morning do you want your home to be
warm? Does this time also depend on the day of the week?
– Are there days when you don't want to heat during the day?
– From what time in the evenings do you no longer need
heating? This too may depend on the day of the week.
With the RC30, Buderus offers eight different, pre-programmed
heating programs for direct selection.
Time taken to heat up the home
The time taken for your heating system to heat up individual rooms
may vary. This will be subject to the outside temperature, the
building insulation and the drop in room temperature.
The "Optimisation " function of the RC30 calculates the various
heat-up times. Ask your installer whether he has activated this
function. If he has, all you need to do is enter the times at which
your home should be warm.
USER NOTE
Check after commissioning, whether the selected heating
program suits your lifestyle. If this is not the case, several options
are available for matching the heating program to your individual
requirements so as to optimise heating comfort and energy
consumption.
