5.2.1 Control mode

Description

Proportional pressure

Hset

Hset

The pump pressure is

continuously increased/

decreased depending

on the increased/

decreased flow de-

mand. The maximum

head of the pump can

be set via user interface.

See section 6.1.2

Change set point.

Constant pressure

Hset

The pump maintains a

constant pressure at any

flow demand. The de-

sired head of the pump

can be set via user inter-

face. See section 6.1.2

Change set point.

Fixed speed control

Speed
setpoint

The pump maintains a

fixed speed at any flow

demand. The speed of

the pump can be set via

user interface. See sec-

tion 6.1.2 Change set

point.

All the control modes can be combined with the

night mode function.

5.2.2 Night mode

The night mode function cannot be used in cooling

systems.
Prerequisite

• The pump is installed in the supply line.

• The night condition can be detected with good

confidence if a higher-level control system is set

to change the supply temperature.

The night mode can be active in combination with:

• Proportional pressure

• Constant pressure

• Constant speed

This function reduces the power consumption of

the pump to the minimum when the heating sys-

tem is not running. An algorithm detects the prop-

er working conditions and automatically adjusts the

speed of the pump.
The pump returns to the original set point as soon

as the system restarts.

5.2.3 ∆p-T control (available only on
ecocirc XLplus)

The function alter the nominal differential pressure

set point depending on the temperature of the

pumped media.
For details refer to advanced functions manual on

www.lowara.com

5.2.4 ∆p-∆T control (available only on
ecocirc XLplus)

This function requires the external temperature

probe type KTY83 (see section 5.2.9 of this man-

ual).
This function alters the nominal differential pres-

sure set point depending on the differential tem-

perature of the pumped media.
For details, refer to the advanced functions manual

on www.lowara.com

5.2.5 T constant (available only on ecocirc
XLplus)

This function alters the speed of the pump in order

to maintain a constant temperature of the pumped

media.
For details, refer to the advanced functions manual

on www.lowara.com

5.2.6 ∆T constant (available only on
ecocirc XLplus)

This function alters the speed of the pump in order

to maintain a constant differential temperature of

the pumped media.
For details, refer to the advanced functions manual

on www.lowara.com

5.2.7 External start/stop

The pump can be started or stopped via an exter-

nal potential-free contact or a relay that is connect-

ed to terminal 11 and 12. See

Figure 18

and

Figure

19

. The pump unit is provided by default, with the

terminals 11 and 12 short-circuited.

NOTICE:

• The pump provides 5 VDC through the start /

stop terminals.

• No external voltage must be provided to start /

stop terminals.

• The cables connected to the terminals 11 and

12, shall not exceed 20 m.
