How long can you manually adjust every little thing? Arguments in favor of installing a heating controller

Completely eliminate manual control The controller makes it possible to regulate the operation of the heating and hot water supply system.

This device is capable of not only monitoring and maintain the required temperature regime, but also save energy.

Purpose of the controller

This unit is related to functionality "smart home". The main tasks it copes with are highlighted:

• taking readings and uninterrupted operation of the liquid temperature regime in hot water supply and heating circuits;
• control of the temperature of the direct and return fluid in heating circuits, protection against overheating;
• pressure determination in the heating circuit;
• assessment of the condition and location of valves;
• measurement of the outside air temperature according to day/night and winter/summer criteria;
• response to a possible emergency situation and transmission of notification to external alarm system;
• receiving data from a PC for the purpose of changing information on sensors;
• storing specified parameters in memory in case of power supply interruptions;
• generation of control signals elements of hot water supply and heating systems;
• setting the required parameters using the built-in control keyboard;
• protection of received data from external industrial interference;
• display of control results on LCD;
• manual control option functioning of the system;
• stopping the heating process for the summer period.

Benefits of Heating and DHW System Control

The positive aspects of using this device:

• the automatic system gives the ability to set the temperature regime hot water supply at a given level;
• energy saving;
• the controller is capable regulate the required temperature value heating and hot water supply systems depending on the time of day (day/night), season and any schedule specified by the user;
• a well-established scheme of operation of the entire system reduces the likelihood of pump wear;
• controller ensures constant temperature maintenance in the return pipeline in accordance with the specified schedule, thereby eliminates the possibility of receiving a fine for exceeding it;
• the circuit feed is brought to automaticity heating according to the data from the heating network pressure sensor;
• well-functioning emergency signal in case of deviation from the specified readings of pressure sensors in networks, temperature conditions, electrical protection.

Selecting a device

Such a device is especially important in those cases, when residents are often absent from homeBy connecting this device to the boiler control terminals, outdoor and indoor temperature sensors, you can automatically control the change in the burner operation.

What to look for when choosing a controller:

• Number of components, applicable to management. In some models, their number can reach 15.
• Software update frequency. Some types of heating and hot water supply system controllers are connected directly to a PC, and the latest update version can always be downloaded from the manufacturer's official website.
• GPS block. If it is included with the controller, then remote control of the heating and hot water supply system becomes possible.

If you need professional advice on choosing a controller It's better to consult a specialist.

Features of use in a private home

Their presence is explained by the fact that such buildings use two-pipe systemsIn them, a circulation pump pumps liquid, which is supplied through a distributor to each heating device.

In such cases, a controller is used to protect the heating system from various emergency situations. security block. And also additionally applied liquid flow control sensors (coolant), special valves.

It can be used in the house thermostatic valves or room temperature regulators. The first allows you to set the desired mode for any source, and the second is responsible for the operation of the pump that supplies the coolant to the radiator.

If there is no Internet in a private house, then it is used GSM module, allowing you to control the situation via your smartphone.

How to connect a controller to a heating boiler with your own hands

Please pay attention to the nuances when installing the controller:

• avoid its contact with direct sunlight;
• isolate from all electrical appliances;
• produce a process at a height of at least 1.5 m from the floor;
• provide constant air flow, avoiding drafts.

You can make a controller with your own hands connect in two ways:

• using the terminal on the boiler;
• using the regulator cable.

Practically Each boiler has special contacts for connection controller to it. It is necessary to find this place and remove the jumpers and connect the thermostat. About that, how to set up the device itself and start its work, indicated in the instructions.
