Changing the heating pattern
Vitocontrol-S, VD2/CT3/CM2
The heating pattern of the boiler is influenced by the outdoor temperature and
the settings of the ”shift” and ”slope” of the ”heating curve”. Heating curves
represent the relationship between the outdoor temperature and the boiler
water or supply temperature. Put simply: the lower the outdoor temperature,
the higher the boiler water or supply temperature.
You can change the setting of the heating curve if you establish, over a prolonged
period during the heating season, that the room temperature does not meet your
requirements.
Please observe the difference in the heating pattern over a sufficiently long
period before altering the settings again.
Short-term changes in the room temperature are carried out with the ”ts”
selector knob or with the ”tm” button.
Please note:
In the factory settings, the slope is set to 1.4 and the shift to 0.
The heating curves shown apply to the following settings:
”Shift of heating curve” = 0
With a different shift setting, the curves are shifted parallel in a vertical direc-
tion.
”Normal room temperature “s” = approx. 20°C / 68°F.
The slope of the heating curve is nor-
mally within the range marked
A for underfloor heating systems,
B for modulating heating systems,
C for heating systems with boiler
water temperatures over 75°C /
167 °F.
Examples
Well insulated house in protected
position (radiator heating):
Slope = 1.2
House in exposed position or
with old heating system
(radiator heating):
Slope = 1.6
