PREFACE
This rematic® controller is a modern electronic device with numerous functions for
operating a heating system at maximum efficiency. Most adjustments and set points
are performed just once by the installation specialists.
These technical instructions contain useful and important information for the correct
operation and commissioning of the rematic® optimising / weather compensator
- rematic® 2945 C3K-m. This controller is capable of controlling from 1- 8 boilers
using direct modulation or 1 boiler on high/low control, with independant time and
temperature control over domestic hot water production
- rematic® 2945 C3-s This rematic® weather compensator is available as an optional
extra for the Remeha Quinta 45/65 and Gas 210 ECO series of boilers only. The
2945 Slave can control 2 mixing circuits a calorifyer and 1 high/low boiler.
- rematic® 2940 C3-s: the 2940 C3 Slave can control 1 mixing circuit and a calorifyer.
With the maximum lay-out of one Master and 4 Slaves, 5 high/low boilers can be
controlled (leaving space for 3 modulating boilers to be controlled additionally) and
up to 10 independent heating circuits. These rematic® weather compensators are
prepared for the modulating control of the Remeha Quinta 45/65 and Gas 210 ECO
boilers.
Read these instructions carefully before putting the controller into operation, familiarise
yourself with it’s control functions and operation, strictly observing the instructions
given. Instructions in the text that are marked by a warning symbol
must be
observed under all circumstances. Failure to do so may unnecessarily raise energy
consumption, invalidate warranty or prevent the installation from operating properly. For
User Guidelines see the separate booklet with details on the programming of the time
clock and use of the 1st & 2nd level controls.
The installation and commissioning of the controller must be carried out by a
competent Engineer, with the relevant product training and general certification i.e.:
CORGI, ACOPS, IEE regs. etc.

GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 Installation notes and preparing for operation
The installation and commissioning of the controller must be carried out by a
competent Engineer, with the relevant product training and general certification i.e.:
CORGI, ACOPS, IEE regs. etc.
It is strongly recommended to leave the controller under power, even during the
summer season. (For further installation details, see section 11 onwards and the
separate fitting instructions.)
Warning: Power supply to the boiler must be isolated before carrying out any
modifications to the wiring of the controller.
Once the controller is completely installed and ready for operation re-establish the
power supply. The normal display (unlit) should appear on the control. If the normal
display fails to appear , press the reset button using a fine pointed object (recessed
to the right of the 2nd-level controls), set the time and day of week, if necessary.
This operation will start the controller, without affecting existing settings or the clock
programme. If the normal display does not appear please check the following:
- Are all the required cables and connectors plugged together?
- Are the electrical fuses in order?
- Is the power supply on?
Note 1: The controller should reset itself automatically when power supply is
established, exchanging data with the boiler control(s). The display may show the DHW
sensor temperature as 99 °C until this process is completed.
Note 2: All references to the red zone and mixing valve zones are not applicable
in UK.
Only one heating and one DHW timed zone is supported in UK

The specialist-level controls have multiple functions, i.e. the same key may have
different functions at the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th levels.
The
key selects between the 3rd till 6th specialist levels; the procedure is described
under chapter “3 Specialists adjustments”. The 5th and 6th specialist levels are
protected by a code.
Adjustments are numbered using the operating level (3, 4, 5 or 6), plus the number
to the right or left of the key.
Dual circuit controllers (not applicable to the UK) include certain adjustments that apply
to specific heating circuits (identified by the display background colour). The desired
circuit must be set using the toggle key (see Fig. 01).

SPECIALIST ADJUSTMENTS

4.1 Documenting the adjustments
Record all initial settings and subsequent adjustments in the tables contained in the
section “18 Adjustment keys, boiler data and system data”. These tables provide a full
overview of 3rd till 6th level adjustment options.
Note: Some adjustments (ie heating slope and parallel shift) do not show an immediate
response. Therefore it is unwise to make more than one adjustment at a time – waiting
to see the reaction before making another.
4.2 General procedures
The basic procedure for performing a specialist adjustment is always the same. The
example below demonstrates the principle.

to access the specialist levels. The first time you press
this key, “3 - -” shows in the display. You can now perform 3rd -level adjustments
(see the previous section).
Press the key again and “4 - -” appears in the display meaning that you are now at
the 4th operating level.
The next time you press the key, the word “out” is displayed. This is the test level,
where outputs may be switched on and off for testing purposes (see section “12.2
Test mode for controller output signals”).
The next time you press the key, the word “codE” is displayed. The 5th operating
level is protected by a code, which means that in order to be able to perform
adjustments in this level you must enter the correct code (see section “18.3 level 5

Increasing or decreasing the set point influences the room temperature.
A 5°C change in flow temperature set point alters the calculated room temperature as
follows:
- Underfloor heating: approx. 2°C
- Radiator heating: approx. 1°C
5.2 Maximum common flow / boiler flow temperature (adjustment 3-1)
The flow water temperature is limited to the pre-set value (Note: this cannot override
the boilers flow temp set point).
This limiting value applies to the selected heating circuit or to the cascade temperature,
depending on usage.
15

rematic® 2945 C3 K
This adjustment is not intended as a safety device! Underfloor heating may
require an additional control to prevent overheating.
5.3 Summertime limits
This set point read with the outside sensor will, if exceeded, hold the heating in the
off position
5.3.1 Summertime limit in heating mode (adjustment 3-3)
Heating ceases once the average outside temperature exceeds the set temperature.
Domestic hot water keeps on operating. Heating resumes once the average outside
temperature drops more than 2°C below the set temperature.
5.3.2 Summertime limit in night setback mode (adjustment 3-4)
This adjustment defines the maximum outside temperature in order for the flow
temperature to be controlled according to the night setback heating curve. Heating
ceases at outside temperatures above the set temperature. Once the outside
temperature drops more than 2°C below the set temperature, the flow water
temperature is controlled according to the night setback heating curve.
Setting a value below 2°C activates frost protection at outside temperatures between
2°C and the set temperature, see section “5.3.3 Frost protection”.
5.3.3 Frost protection
The circulation pump is switched on cyclically below an outside temperature of
2°C (frost protection limit). In each cycle it runs for 6 minutes, then switches off for
54 minutes. If the adjustment 3-4 is set above 2°C, the “frost protection mode” is
overruled by the “summertime limit in night setback mode” as described under section
“5.3.2 Summertime limit in night setback mode (adjustment 3-4)”.
5.4 Optimised start - pre-heat time (adjustment 3-5)
Pre-heat time gives the heating system a “warm up time” in order to attain operating
temperature at set occupancy time. A basic value for the pre-heat time, based on the
type of heating system, has to be programmed so that the controller is able to calculate
the actual start time to achieve room temperature set point at set occupancy time.
The controller takes the following factors into account:
- measured outside temperature
- measured room temperature, assuming that a room sensor or remote control is
fitted.
Recommended basic value:
- Underfloor heating:
210 (minutes)
- Radiator heating
150 (minutes)

16

The basic value is the pre-heat time, valid for an outside temperature of -10°C (= the
so called standard climatic zone). The higher the outside temperature, the shorter the
pre-heat time, which decreases to 0 minutes at 20°C.
5.4.1 Calculation formula for pre-heat time based on outside temperature:
The controller calculates according the following formula:
PHTCAL=

20-TOMES
x basic value
20-climate point

PHT CAL = calculated pre-heat time prior to occupancy time
TO MES = measured outside temperature
Example:
PHTCAL=

basic value
Outside temperature

= 150 minutes
= 5°C

20 - 5 x 150 = 75 minutes
20 - - 10

5.4.2 Calculation formula for pre-heat time with room temperature correction
If a room sensor or remote control is connected, the measured ambient room
temperature is included in the pre-heat time calculation. The pre-heat time calculated
earlier is shortened by a factor that is calculated as follows:
PHTCOR = TRSET - TRMES

x 75 = 30 minutes

5.4.3 Correcting the basic value
Should the design temperature be reached before or after occupancy time, correct the
basic value as follows:

TR SET is reached:

Button

too early

reduce basic value (press [ - ] side)

too late

increase basic value (press [ + ] side)

Table 05
17

rematic® 2945 C3 K
It is recommended that modifications of the basic value be no shorter than the
following:
- Underfloor heating 30 minutes
- Radiator heating 20 minutes
If the heating system start-up does not need to be optimised in this way, set the basic
value to 0. The heating system then commences operation at the programmed time.
5.5 Room temperature compensation (adjustment 3-6)
This adjustment is relevant only if a room sensor or remote control is
connected.
If the temperature measured by a room sensor or remote control deviates from the set
point (e.g. as a result of external heating such as solar gain), the controller corrects
the water flow temperature according to the compensation value. This specifies the
increase or decrease in water flow temperature (in °C) per °C room temperature
deviation.
- Room over-temperature
= reduced flow temperature
- Room under-temperature
= increased flow temperature
The effect of the setting is shown in Fig. 07.

5.6 Number of slaves and their addressing (adjustment 3-7) NOT AVAILABLE IN
UK
This adjustment determines whether the controller at hand is used as a master or
as a slave controller and simultaneously the number and sequence of the slaves are
indicated.
- Master controller: By entering one of the codes 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, the number of
connected slaves is programmed. With only one controller in the installation,
adjustment 3-7 should be set at 0.
- Slave controller: The slave controller is assigned an address by entering one of
the codes F1, F2, F3 or F4.(F= follower controller).
When adjustment 3-7 is incorrectly programmed, the master controller can
communicate neither with the slave controllers, nor with the boiler(s).
5.7 Nature of the controller (adjustment 3-8)
This sets the controller to the number of boilers and method of control (Modulation or
High / Low)
One master controller can operate up to 8 modulating boilers. With one master - and
4 slave controllers 5 on/off or high low boilers can be handled. As long as the total
number of boilers does not exceed 8 and the number of on/off - or high/low boilers
does not exceed 5, any combination of modulating -, on/off - or high/low boilers can be
controlled.(NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UK)

The settings which may be chosen are as follows:
Master controller: (adjustment 3-7 is set to 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4)
Adjustment 3-8 must be set for each boiler in the installation.
b1
= setting for an on/off boiler
b2
= setting for a high/low boiler
FA.
= setting for communication with a modulating boiler control
-= setting for those boiler positions (of 8) which are not in use
Slave controller: (adjustment 3-7 is set to F1, F2, F3, or F4) NOT AVAILABLE IN THE
UK
-= setting for the slave that only controls supplementary mixing circuits
b1
= setting for the slave that controls a supplementary on/off boiler
b2
= setting for the slave that controls a supplementary high low boiler
If the controller has been programmed with the FA.- - setting, it detects whether the
sensors are connected at the controller or at the boiler control and the controller itself
supplements the FA. setting with a number as follows (If an error occurs it might help
to program the correct FA setting directly by hand):

LEVEL 4 ADJUSTMENTS

6.1 Domestic hot water operation modes
NOTE: In a cascade installation if the DHW is controlled by the rematic® controller all
boilers connected to the control will be made available to satisfy the demand.
Domestic hot water heating is activated when the DHW time channel is in the on
position and the connected DHW sensor shows that the water temperature in the
calorifier is 5 °C below the set point. When the D.H.W. set point is reached the demand
is deactivated.
6.1.1 Simultaneous or priority D.H.W. heating (adjustment 4-0)
The domestic hot water may be heated simultaneously with the heating circuits, or
be given priority.
Setting adjustment 4-0 to “OFF”: D.H.W. heating has priority over the heating
circuits
The heating circuits are switched off while the domestic hot water is heated. (i.e.
system pumps “OFF)
The heating circuits are enabled once the domestic hot water has reached the set
temperature. The D.H.W. pump continues to operate for a period set by adjustment 4-3.
If a heating circuit demands a higher flow temperature, the controller immediately shuts
off the domestic hot water pump. A diverting valve can be used In place of a D.H.W.
primary pump (see section 6.1.2).
Setting adjustment 4-0 to”ON”: Simultaneous operation of D.H.W. heating
(Requires the use of a D.H.W. primary pump and is not possible with a diverting
valve).
The controller will boost the flow temperature from the compensated level to the DHW
flow temp set point which will mean that the heating flow temperature may also be
elevated

21

rematic® 2945 C3 K
6.1.2 D.H.W. heating using a pump or a diverter valve (adjustment 4-1)
Depending on the heating system, it is possible to select a pump or a diverter valve
for D.H.W. heating.
Setting of adjustment 4-1 to “OFF” : Domestic hot water heating using a pump
See section 6.1.1 for explanation
Setting of adjustment 4-1 to “ON” : Domestic hot water heating using a diverting
valve
Together with the diverting valve, the system pump feeds flow water to the
calorifyer heat exchanger. The pump therefore continues to run during D.H.W. heating.
Simultaneous D.H.W. and heating is not possible with this setting. (see also section
“6.1.1 Simultaneous or priority D.H.W. heating (adjustment 4-0)”).
6.2 Flow water temperature for D.H.W. heating (adjustment 4-2)
The D.H.W. temperature set point, increased by the value set here, gives the set flow
temperature of the boiler(s) for D.H.W. heating.
6.3 Run-on time of domestic hot water pump (adjustment 4-3)
The value set here determines how long, after attaining the set D.H.W. temperature,
the domestic hot water pump continues to run and the diverting valve is in the DHW
mode.
6.4 Legionnaires’ disease protection temperature (adjustment 4-4)
The domestic hot water temperature programmed here (minimum setting is 60 °C)
is initiated on the day set in adjustment 3-4 (see section “6.5 Legionnaires’ disease
protection mode (adjustment 4-5)”). Adjustment 4-4 is set higher than the normal
domestic hot water temperature, set with button
and is used to protect against
Legionnaires’ disease.
6.5 Legionnaires’ disease protection mode (adjustment 4-5)
In accordance with the code set here, the Legionnaires’ disease protection
temperature, set with adjustment 4-4 (see section 6.4 “Legionnaires’ disease protection
temperature (adjustment 4-4)” is enabled for two hours during the first D.H.W. heating
on each day in question.
The set codes are as follows:
1 = Mondays
6 = Saturdays
2 = Tuesdays
7 = Sundays
3 = Wednesdays
8 = daily
4 = Thursdays
9 = continuously at the temperature set with adjustment 4-4
5 = Fridays
0 = no Legionnaires’ disease protection mode
22

6.6 Adaptive heating curve (adjustment 4-6)
If a remote control or room sensor (supplied as standard in the UK) is connected to the
controller, it can automatically correct the heating curve to suit the buildings properties.
Adjustment 4-6 can be set for each heating circuit separately.
Adaptive heating curve “inactive” (“OFF” setting)
The operator-defined heating curve is not automatically modified (useful if there is
another heat source such as an open fireplace).
Adaptive heating curve “active” (“ON” setting)
The controller automatically determines the optimal heating curve. It might take more
than a week before the optimal curve is reached.
6.7 Minimum boiler temperature (adjustment 4-7)
The controller maintains a minimum flow temperature for the boiler(s) in heating and
night set back mode. This adjustment is used to prevent the compensator lowering
the flow temp below the min required for heat emitters used in the system (ie fan
convectors may have a min flow requirement of 55 oC).
Note : This set point should not be set below to the boiler manufacturer’s specifications.
6.8 Flow temperature excess in °C in relation to the heating curve(s)
(adjustment 4-8)
During the heating season, the set flow temperature for the boiler(s) is higher, by the
value set here, than the highest flow temperature, requested by one of the heating
circuits. This adjustment must be set for each heating circuit.
Recommended settings:
0 = for direct heating circuits
5 = for mixed heating circuits
6.9 Adapting to the heating circuit (adjustment 4-9)
Before performing this adjustment, the required heating circuit must be selected! (Only
setting 2 for UK)
Setting 0 = 3-point output for mixer drives with 230 V motor with 2 directions
of rotation
The direction of rotation of the mixer is controlled by energising the “ON” or the “OFF”
relay in the controller.
Setting 1 = 2-point output for mixer drives with automatic return, e.g. 230 V
thermal mixer drives
The mixer drive opens the valve on energising the “ON” relay in the controller. It closes
automatically if the controller de-energises the “ON” relay. The controller maintains a
certain valve position by intermittently energising the “ON” relay.
Setting 2 = setting for a direct heating circuit with no output for a mixer drive
The system pump for this circuit runs continuously during the heating season. (The
mixer symbol is not displayed.)

LEVEL 5 ADJUSTMENTS

The adjustments in the 5th operating level make it possible to adapt the controller
adjustments to the features and allocation of each boiler in a multiple boiler installation.
Access to this operating level is coded.
Improper changes in this operating level may impair the functioning of the
boiler(s).
The adjustments 5-0 to 5-6 described below must be individually adjusted for each
boiler. The number of boilers has been programmed with adjustment 3-8. Select the
adjustment, e.g. 5-3, then use the P key to select the relevant boiler. The display
shows a row of points instead of the time bar. The flashing point indicates which boiler
has been selected. You can now adjust the value of the selected boiler.
7.1 Boiler output at full load (adjustment 5-0)
The full load output of the selected boiler must be entered in the controller in kW. This
setting is essential for modulating boilers. The nominal output specification on the data
badge of the boiler is definitive.
It is not compulsory to enter this value for connected on/off or high/low boilers
(controlled by relay contacts in the controller).
7.2 Grouping boilers (adjustment 5-1)
Each boiler in a multiple boiler installation is assigned to a group. There are 4 groups to
be selected. The following group features should be noted when assigning boilers:
- Groups 1 and 3 have automatic sequence changeover (see section “7.8 Sequence
changeover of boilers in groups 1 and 3 (adjustment 5-7)”).
- Groups 3 and 4 are switched off when the outside temperature rises above the set
heating limit value (see section “8.5.1 Blocking of boiler groups 3 and 4 dependent
on outside temperature (adjustment 6-5)”).
- Groups 1 and 2 are switched off when the outside temperature drops below the set
heating limit value (see section “8.5.2 Blocking of boiler groups 1 and 2 dependent
on outside temperature (adjustment 6-6)”).
Normally all modulating condensing boilers are programmed in group 1. The sequence
of the groups is as follows: With increasing heat demand, the boilers in group 2 will not
be started before all boilers in group 1 are in service at full load. The same principle
applies for groups 3 and 4. The allocation of boilers to groups allows the energy saving
operation of installations with condensing boilers and standard boilers. It also allows
the bivalent operation of installations with heating boilers and heat pumps. It permits
automatic output limitation as a function of outside temperature. Automatic sequence
changeover allows you to programme a load compensation for the boilers.

24

7.3 Cut-in output of the follow-up boiler (adjustment 5-2)
This set value determines the percentage output of the selected boiler with which the
following boiler is to be switched on.
The first boiler is switched on immediately after the time, set with adjustment 6-3,
is elapsed.
7.4 Minimum boiler return temperature TBR MIN (adjustment 5-3)
The boiler return control is active for the selected boiler if the set value of TBR MIN is
greater than 0. Heating circuits are enabled when the return temperature of the boiler
rises above the set point. This adjuster is not active for stages programmed with FA.
7.5 Minimum fan speed with boiler switched off (adjustment 5-4)
The minimum speed of the boiler fan is adjustable for modulating burners as a
percentage of the maximum fan speed. 0 = OFF, which means the fan is not required
with burner switched off. This adjustment might be of use when ventilation problems
occur.
7.6 Return temperature control selection (adjustment 5-5) (NOT USED IN THE
UK)
The return temperature of the boiler(s) can be controlled in several ways, which can
be separately set for each boiler.
The settings have the following meaning:
0 = U0...U5 corresponding to the boiler safety modes.(see section “8.3 Boiler safety
modes (adjustment 6-2)”)
1 = Return temperature control by the heating circuit mixer(s). The boiler circuit pump
Uw operates continuously during the heating season.
2 = Return temperature control by the heating circuit mixer(s) without boiler circuit
pump Uw. The controller calculates a variable minimum boiler flow temperature based
on the set value for the minimum boiler return temperature (adjustment 5-3). The
lower the measured return temperature, the higher the required minimum boiler flow
temperature TF MIN.
3 = The “green” heating circuit mixer is used as return temperature control. The mixer
Mr itself, as well as the boiler circuit pump Uw are mounted in the return pipework of
the boiler. Operation and display for the green circuit are blocked, with the exception
of the temperature display.

25

rematic® 2945 C3 K
4 = The “green” heating circuit mixer is used as return temperature control without the
assistance of a boiler circuit pump. The mixer Mr itself is mounted in the flow pipework
of the boiler. Operation and display for the green circuit are blocked, with the exception
of the temperature display. The controller calculates a variable minimum boiler
flow temperature based on the set value for the minimum boiler return temperature
(adjustment 5-3). The lower the measured return temperature, the higher the required
minimum boiler flow temperature TF MIN.
5 = Return temperature control only with boiler circuit pump Uw. The pump Uw
switches off on reaching the minimum return temperature TBR MIN. No mixer Mr is
used. No heating circuit mixer is influenced by the set min. boiler return temperature
TBR MIN.
6 = The “green” heating circuit mixer is used as return temperature control for all boilers
in a multiple boiler installation. The mixer Mr itself is mounted in the common return
pipework of the boilers. Each boiler has its own boiler circuit pump Uw. Operation and
display for the green circuit are blocked, with the exception of the temperature display.
The sequence changeover (adjustment 5-7) does not influence this mode.
7.7 Allocation of boiler relay outputs for on/off or high/low boilers (adjustment
5-6) (NOT USED IN THE UK)
If relay contacts are used to control on/off and/or high/low boiler(s), they
must be allocated to a controller.
The settings are as follows:
--- = no boiler relay function (there is no on/off or high/low boiler in the installation)
M = boiler relay function at the master (the 1rst boiler is an on/off or high/ low boiler)
F1 = boiler relay function at slave 1(the 2nd boiler is an on/off or high/ low boiler)
F2 = relay function at slave 2 (the 3rd boiler is an on/off or high/ low boiler)
F3 = relay function at slave 3 (the 4th boiler is an on/off or high/ low boiler)
F4 = relay function at slave 4 (the 5th boiler is an on/off or high/ low boiler)
7.8 Sequence changeover of boilers in groups 1 and 3 (adjustment 5-7)
OFF = continuous forward operation
ON = continuous backward operation
10 ... 999 = sequence changeover after the set number of running hours of the first
boiler.
7.9 P-band (proportional band) (adjustment 5-8)
The P-band indicates the deviation between the actual flow temperature and flow
temperature set point at which 100% boiler output (for all boilers) is required (setting
band 0 to 30 °C). With increasing deviation, a low set value produces a large change
in output. The heat production reacts quickly on changes in heat demand. With
26

increasing deviation, a high set value produces a small change in output. The heat
production reacts slowly on changes in heat demand. The factory setting rarely needs
modification.
7.10 I-band (integral proportion) (adjustment 5-9)
The I-proportion indicates, at a constant deviation between the actual flow temperature
and flow temperature set point, how long (minutes) the controller takes to double the
output needed according to the P-band. A low set value produces a rapid change in
output where there is a deviation. The heat production reacts quickly, even where
there is only a short term temperature deviation. A high set value produces a slowly
increasing change in output where there is a deviation. The heat production reacts
slowly on an existing temperature deviation.
The factory settings rarely needs modification.
8

LEVEL 6 ADJUSTMENTS

8.1 Maximum common flow temperature (adjustment 6-0)
To prevent the common flow temperature exceeding the setpoint, the controller will
throttle the output of the boiler(s) or switch them off. This adjustment has priority over
all other requirements.
8.2 Run-on time of the D.H.W. pump dependent on time or temperature
(adjustment 6-1)
With adjustment 6-1 the run-on time of the D.H.W. pump can be programmed
dependent on time or dependent on temperature.
Setting “off”: time-dependent run-on time
After domestic hot water heating is completed, the D.H.W. pump continues to operate
for the period set with adjustment 4-3 (see section “6.3 Run-on time of domestic hot
water pump (adjustment 4-3)”).
Setting “on”: temperature-dependent run-on time
After domestic hot water heating is completed, the D.H.W. pump continues to operate
until the differential between the flow temperature and the domestic hot water
temperatures reaches 3 °C. However, the run-on time is limited to the time period
set in adjustment 4-3 (see section “6.3 Run-on time of domestic hot water pump
(adjustment 4-3)”).
8.3 Boiler safety modes (adjustment 6-2)
Depending on the safety mode selected here, given a sudden heat demand (from the
heating circuits and/or domestic hot water heating) the heating load is immediately
switched on or only after the flow temperature of the boiler (or the common flow
temperature of the boilers) has reached the set minimum flow temperature TF MIN (see
section “6.7 Minimum boiler temperature (adjustment 4-7)”).
27

rematic® 2945 C3 K
In selecting the boiler safety mode, the functioning of the boiler circuit pump is
determined at the same time as follows:

After the master boiler is switched off, Uw
continues to operate for 15 minutes or (for
communicating boilers) for the period set in the
boiler control.

Table 07
Safety mode U0 (settings 0 and 3)
This mode ensures that the set minimum boiler temperature TF MIN (adjustment 4-7) is
not undershot by using the maximum output of the boiler or boilers. If this set value is
undershot, no heat load is switched off.
Safety mode U1 (settings 1 and 4)
This mode ensures that the minimum boiler temperature TF MIN (adjustment 4-7) is not
undershot by using the maximum output of the boiler or boilers. Additionally, however,
heat load is switched off if this set value is undershot.
Safety mode U3 (settings 2 and 5)
This mode ensures that, if the flow temperature of the boiler(s) drops below the
set minimum return temperature TBR MIN (see section “7.4 Minimum boiler return
temperature TBR MIN (adjustment 5-3)”), no heat load is switched off and no boilers are
switched on. It is not before the flow temperature of the boiler(s) has dropped to the set
point (according to the heating curve or external requirement) and heat production is
necessary that the mixers are closed, the circuit pumps are switched off and the boilers
are switched on with the required output. The heating circuits are enabled again once
the flow temperature of the boiler(s) reaches the minimum temperature range.
8.4 Delayed cut-in of boiler stages
8.4.1 Delayed cut-in of 1st boiler (adjustment 6-3)
A delayed cut-in may be programmed for the 1st boiler. The count down starts when
the controller requests the first boiler, based on his internal PI calculation.

28

8.4.2 Delayed cut-in of subsequent boilers (adjustment 6-4)
A second delayed cut-in may be programmed for the following boilers. The count down
starts when the controller requests the next boiler. The programmed time is the same
for all subsequent boilers. This time delay can prevent short-term switching on of
boilers.
8.5 Blocking of boiler groups dependent on outside temperature
Since a normal boiler installation does not need these adjustments, the adjustments
6-5 and 6-6 are ceased to be operative by the factory settings.
8.5.1 Blocking of boiler groups 3 and 4 dependent on outside temperature
(adjustment 6-5)
If the outside temperature exceeds the set value, the boilers associated with groups 3
and 4 are blocked. If the outside temperature drops by more than 2 °C below this value,
the boilers in these groups are enabled again.
8.5.2 Blocking of boiler groups 1 and 2 dependent on outside temperature
(adjustment 6-6)
If the outside temperature undershoots the set value, the boilers associated with
groups 1 and 2 are blocked. If the outside temperature rises by more than 2 °C above
this value, the boilers in these groups are enabled again.
This adjustment is important if air/water heat pumps are used in combination with
boilers.
8.6 Neutral zone for the internal Pl-behaviour of the controller (adjustment 6-7)
Variations in the (common) flow temperature within the neutral zone around the flow
temperature set point, will not cause changes in the output of the boiler(s).
8.7 Ramp mode to limit the speed of changes in output
If there are jumps in the set point (e.g. night/day changeover) or changes in load, this
adjustment allows the speed of change in output to be limited. The ramp function may
be adjusted separately for set temperature / /measured temperature deviations both
outside and inside the proportional band. The maximum allowed change in output per
minute is set as a percentage of the total boiler output. The higher the set value, the
quicker the response in boiler output to a flow temperature change. The factory settings
apply to 99% of the installations.

11 CONNECTOR PINOUTS
The information in this chapter references the terminal numbers as they
are marked on the controller. These numbers will not necessarily be the same if
the controller has been built into a boiler control panel, control rack, etc. In this
case, refer to the appropriate wiring diagrams.
Unused sensor and signal inputs and outputs must not be connected. The associated
symbols and temperatures are not displayed when checking the sensors. An unused
heating circuit must have its heating curve set to 0, and its heating program must be
set to “OFF”
.
It may be advisable to suppress inductive loads (circuit breakers, relays, mixer drives,
etc.) by connecting RC snubber networks across the coils. (0.047µF, 100 W, rated 250
VAC recommended).
For installation personnel only
Warning: Before starting to wire up the system, ensure that all the
conductors are disconnected from the electrical supply. Electricity must also be
disconnected before plugging or unplugging the connectors. Never touch the
controller wires or connections.
Connections to sensors, remote controls, the data bus, etc. must be routed separately
from high-power wiring.
11.1 Boiler control interface (in the UK the interface is supplied with the relevant
controls package kit)
An interface is required to exchange data with the boiler control. Depending on boiler
execution, an interface might already be present in the boiler. The wiring of the
interface, of the boiler control and of the sensors (outside -, DHW - and common flow
-) must be carried out in accordance with the appropriate wiring diagrams, that come
with the controls package kit.

12 FUNCTIONAL TESTS AND CHECKS
12.1 Service program
The service program permits maintenance personnel to establish boiler conditions
necessary for performing required measurements, without disturbing the controller’s
normal operational parameters. The controller sets all boilers to full load and
commands the installation load (i.e. mixing valves) in a way to reach a (boiler or
common) flow temperature of 60°C as quick as possible and maintain this temperature
as long as possible. To avoid overheating of the installation it may be necessary to
manually switch off all boilers but the one that is measured.
In on/off or high/low boilers with little water content the high limit thermostat
may trigger, as well as in an installation where the boiler sensor is not fitted in
the boiler but in the flow pipe work. However the Remeha communicating boilers
will not be affected with this problem.
12.1.1 Starting the service program
- Press the
key.
Instead of the current time, the display shows the elapsed time since the service
program was started.

P

Fig. 16
12.1.2 Terminating the service program
The service program terminates automatically when no controller key has been
pressed for 30 minutes. The service program can also be terminated earlier by
pressing the
key again.
The controller returns to normal programmed operation.
12.2 Test mode for controller output signals
12.2.1 Operation
If the specialist levels are scrolled through with the
key, after the 4th level and
before the code-protected 5th level you will reach the test level for output signals. It
is indicated on the display with “
“ (see also section “4.2.2 Performing 4th, 5th
and 6th -level adjustments”). In this test level, the specialist may switch the outputs
37

rematic® 2945 C3 K
on and off. With each push on one side of the key in the 3rd level, the status of the
corresponding output signal toggles between “ON” and “OFF”.
12.2.2 Display
The modes which are switched on or off are indicated in the display.
- The modes which are allocated to the keys on the left-hand side (even numbers) are
indicated with the corresponding symbol and the output number, e.g. and A-4.
- The modes which are allocated to the keys on the right-hand side (odd numbers)
are shown with the output number only, e.g. F-5.
For each function the status indicator “
” or “
” also appears.
12.2.3 Closing the test mode
The test mode is automatically interrupted if no key is pressed for 20 minutes. The
display returns to normal. The functioning of the controller outputs is then determined
once again by the controller. When switching to another specialist level, all output
functions are switched off.

Table 09
The test mode allows the specialist to test parts of the system for
correct functioning. If proper procedures are not followed, this can lead
to output statuses being enabled which place an abnormal load on the
heating equipment (example: both directions of a mixer motor energised
simultaneously). Modes which are switched on are only switched off if
no key is pressed for 20 minutes or if the operating level is changed.
Please, therefore, note the following:
- after the function test, deactivate each output order.
- never simultaneously enable an “ON” and an “OFF” order on the same mixer
drive.
- before leaving the system, ensure that the controller is no longer at the test
level (change operating level or return to normal display using the
key).
12.3 Checking the temperature sensors
The temperature sensors can be checked without disconnecting the controller, or
using special measurement or test equipment. (See section “12.5 Temperature sensor
resistance values”)
- Select the desired heating circuit using the toggle key.
- Press the
key.
The measured temperatures appear in the display. If a temperature is displayed, this
means that the corresponding sensor is properly connected and functional.
Failure to display a temperature can have one of the following reasons:
- The sensor is unnecessary for the heating system
- Sensor or connection open-circuit
- Sensor or connection short-circuit
12.4 Checking temperature settings
For dual circuit controllers select the desired heating circuit using the toggle key.
- Press and hold the
key. The controller shows the measured temperature
values in succession.
After cycling through all the measured values, the controller shows the temperature
settings in place of the regular display.
39

rematic® 2945 C3 K
- Release the
key. Single presses of this key display the Setpoints and sensor
readings.
- Press the
key to return to the normal display. This also happens automatically if
1 minute elapses without pressing a key.

In order to achieve proper operation of the boilers in a multiple boiler installation, the
relevant adjustments must be set according to the tables below.
Procedure for performing the adjustments in the table:
- Select the adjustment.
- If more than one boilers are connected, use the P key to invoke the boiler for which
the adjustments are to apply.
- Instead of the time bar, the points in the display indicate how many boilers are
programmed. The point of the invoked boiler flashes. You can now perform the
required adjustment. With adjustment 3-8 the number of boilers can be programmed
by replacing on each position the given --- code by the correct FA code.
