DIFFERENTIAL THERMOSTAT
Using two sensors, a differential thermostat can be created. When the temperature difference between both sensors
crosses a preset value, a relay channel can be activated.
To achieve this, the first sensors must know the address of the second one. The second sensor must than be linked
to a relay channel. The temperature difference value is set on the first sensor.
The settings can be done via a temperature controller VMB1TC / VMB1TCW(W) or via the Velbus link program.
Schematic overview differential thermostat (sensor2 in heating mode):
SENSOR1 SENSOR2
t1
Set-up:
t2
Set-up:
Differential sensor address =
address sensor2 heating
Temp. Difference ∆t = -10°...10°
heating on when t1+ ∆t > t2
Measured temp t1 + ∆t = Desired temperature for sensor2
Remark:
if t1+
∆t > t
mode2
than desired temp. sensor2 = t
mode2
(mode2 = anti-freeze, night, day or comfort)
Schematic overview differential thermostat (sensor2 in cooling mode):
SENSOR1 SENSOR2
t1
Set-up:
t2
Set-up:
Differential sensor address =
address sensor2 cooling
Temp. Difference ∆t = -10°...10°
Cooler on when t1+ ∆t < t2
Measured temp t1 + ∆t = Desired temperature for sensor2
Remark: if t1+
∆t < t
mode2
than desired temp. sensor2 =
t
mode2
(mode2 = anti-freeze, night, day or comfort)
