The rain sensor and wind meter settings must be adjusted in the respective configuration
mask. The examples show the wind meter setting.
10.5.1 Automatic
In this operating mode, the sensor is maintained constantly at the control temperature,
generally in order to prevent the effects of snow and ice.
Setpoint Temp.: The heating controls at this temperature (in °C)
Heating mode1 Temp.: Threshold temperature (in °C) with effect from
which air temperature heating is enabled
Eco mode1 follow-up time: Follow-up time (in minutes)
10.5.2 Off
In the ‘Off’ operating mode heating is completely disabled. Winter operation is not possible in
this operating mode because any icing might prevent the correct operation of the rain sensor
or wind meter.
10.5.3 Mode 1
In ‘Mode 1’ operating mode heating is only enabled when the outside temperature falls below
the HeatingMode1 temperature (in °C). In this mode power consumption can be reduced in
frost-free situations with no great restriction on winter operation.
