3 Climate Controller C-46 overview This section is a brief description of the Climate Controller C-46 as a system component and its operating modes. 3.1 Description The Climate Controller C-46 is a primary controller for heating, cooling and meltaway systems.
3.1.2 Meltaway example The figure below shows how the Climate Controller C-46 can be set up in a meltaway system. The figure also shows several system components that can be connected to the Climate Controller C-46. NOTE! Only Uponor sensors and should be used in combination with the Climate Controller C-46. 3.2.
Setpoint adjustment and definitions are the same as for the case with radio thermostats connected to the Climate Controller C-46, see above. 3.2.5 Sensor priorities When sensors and thermostats are connected to the Climate Controller C-46 in different ways, the following priorities apply: 1. Thermostats linked to the Climate Controller C-46 through an antenna have the first priority. Heating – fixed supply In this operating mode, the Climate Controller C-46 maintains a constant supply temperature.
• Setting of Min./Max. supply parameter, see section 6.2.4 Heating, page 16 • Setting of Indoor sensor influence parameter, see section 8.5.8 Indoor sensor influence, page 26 Heating – outdoor controlled average In this operating mode, the Climate Controller C-46 adjusts the supply temperature depending on the average supply–return temperature. When the parameters are set, the indoor temperature will be kept at a constant level. See also section 10.2 Adjusting the heat curve, page 46.
3.3.4 Operating modes and sensor use The table below shows which sensors are used in which operating mode.
It is possible to select any of the available heating modes for the heating function and any of the available cooling modes for the cooling function. See sections above. H/C switchover in slave mode In this switchover mode, the Climate Controller C-46 switches between heating and cooling mode controlled from an external source.
4 System integration of Climate Controller C-46 and Controller C-56 Radio The Climate Controller C-46 can be integrated with the Controller C-56 Radio to enhance the capabilities of the climate system. The illustration below shows an example configuration. NOTE!

10 Hints and examples This section describes a number of hints and examples to help the user to set up the heating and/or cooling system. 10.1 Economy and comfort modes The economy mode (ECO) is used to save energy. In heating mode, the economy mode reduces room temperatures with a given setback temperature. In cooling mode, the temperature is increased. Different economy profiles may be applied for the days of the week.
10.1.3 Eco night mode profile. When the Climate Controller C-46 is set to Eco night mode, this means that the temperature is temporarily lowered with the temperature setback value during night. The diagram below illustrates this by indicating that the temperature is lowered to economy level between 22.30 hours and 06.30 hours. Thursday Friday Profile: Eco custom 00:00 – 08:00 Economy mode 08:00 – 10:00 Comfort mode The figure to the right shows the ECO night screen for this case.
10.2 Adjusting the heat curve Default settings When the Climate Controller C-46 is set in Heating mode and an outdoor sensor is connected, the heat curve is adjusted to achieve an even zone temperature. When the Heating – outdoor controlled supply mode has been selected, the Climate Controller C-46 is set up with the following default values: 10.2.1 • • Description The two parameters T-slope and T-adjustment are used to adjust the heat curve: • T-slope = 0.
10.3 Heating summer shut-off and cooling winter shut-off The use of the heating summer shut-off and cooling winter shutoff features is described by a number of operation examples with instructions how to set up the system. The operation examples below require that the following prerequisites are met: • • The Climate Controller C-46 is installed as a stand-alone unit The Pump management function is set to Internal control mode, see section 8.9.
10.3.3 Cooling mode without winter-shut-off The diagram in the figure below, labelled Cooling mode without winter shut-off, illustrates an operation example with the following setup: • Operating mode is set to cooling, see section 8.9.1 Operating mode (select), page 31 • Winter shut-off is not defined Period P1: During this period, which covers the full year, the circulation pump is running continuously. 10.3.
10.3.5 offs Heating and cooling mode without season shut- Period P1: During this period, which in this example covers the period 1 October to 15 March, the following conditions apply: The diagram in the figure below, labelled Heating and cooling mode without season shut-offs, illustrates an operation example with the following setup: • • • Operating mode is set to heating and cooling, see section 8.9.
