8. Control functions

8.1 Quick overview of control modes

AUTO
ADAPT
• We recommend this control mode for most heating systems.
• During operation, the pump automatically makes the necessary
adjustment to the actual system characteristic.
FLOW
ADAPT
The FLOW control mode combines a control mode and a
ADAPT
function:
• The pump is running in AUTO
• The delivered flow from the pump will never exceed a selected
FLOW .
LIMIT
Proportional pressure
• This control mode is used in systems with relatively large pressure
losses in the distribution pipes.
• The head of the pump will increase proportionally to the flow in the
system to compensate for the large pressure losses in the
distribution pipes.
Constant pressure
• We recommend this control mode in systems with relatively small
pressure losses.
• The pump head is kept constant, independent of the flow in the
system.
Constant temperature
In heating systems with a fixed system characteristic, for example
domestic hot-water systems, the control of the pump according to a
constant return-pipe temperature is relevant.
