  • Page 3: Short Description

    SHORT DESCRIPTION Properties of the DHC 23 The DHC 23 is a digital controller for district heating systems. It has the complete intelligence which is required for optimum control of a modern district heating system. Outside temperature compensated time-dependent flow temperature control...

    The room temperature can be regulated accurately using the thermostats fitted to the radiators. Heat-up optimization The DHC 23 selects the latest possible start of the temperature rise so that the required room temperature is already reached at the set time. Night-time cut-off The room temperature is lowered to a programmable value (night setpoint) in the night during the heating period.
  • Page 5 DHC 23 SAFETY NOTES Purpose The DHC 23 is designed exclusively for regulating and controlling district heating systems including domestic hot water heating which do not exceed a maximum flow temperature of 120 °C. Prerequisite for commissioning 1. The district heating system must be ready and filled with water so that the pumps do not run dry.
  • Page 6 In the manual mode, the domestic hot water can be heated up to the maximum Manual mode possible flow temperature. This mode is used especially if the DHC 23 should be defective. However, the high domestic hot water temperatures can be avoided by switching off the domestic hot water charging pump by hand using the switch on the pump (if present).
  • Page 7: Operating Elements

    DHC 23 OPERATING ELEMENTS To be able to handle the district heating controller DHC 23 well, it is divided into 3 operating levels: 1st operating level: Operation by the user In this level the user sets the basic heating functions. The operating elements required for this are fitted on the front.
  • Page 8 DHC 23 Operating mode switch Select operating mode The operating modes of the DHC 23 can be set with the operating mode switch. The meaning of the individual positions is illustrated by symbols. Normal mode Heating and domestic hot water readiness are switched on corresponding to the set switching times.
  • Page 9: Operation By The User

    DHC 23 OPERATION BY THE USER Select temperatures Select room temperature The setpoint for the room temperature can be set with the aid of the room temperature knob between 8°C and 32°C. The room setpoint can also be set with the remote control TF 26.

    DHC 23 ADJUSTMENT BY THE USER Grasp the recessed grip on the left behind the flap, pull it slightly and open the flap downwards. Two knobs are located behind it. Programming switch Programming switch The left knob is the programming switch, it has five positions.
  • Page 12: Change Switching Times

    DHC 23 Change switching times The DHC 23 is already equipped in the factory with a basic setting for the switching times for heating and domestic hot water which satisfies normal requirements. You can change this basic setting simply at any time.
  • Page 13: Delete Switching Times

    DHC 23 ADJUSTMENT BY THE USER Delete switching times 2 switching times are deleted by setting the cut-in time and cut-off time exactly equal, i.e. 12:00 cut-in and 12:00 cut-off. For this purpose simply move the cut-off bar over the cut-in bar.

    (Service switch position 0 and 1) taken into account automatically as well as summer and winter time. Maximum flow setpoint (2) The DHC 23 ensures that the setpoint of the flow temperature never exceeds the set maximum value. Night setpoint (3) The room temperature is lowered during the heating period in the night to the set night setpoint (night cut-off).
  • Page 15 If the system takes too long until the room setpoint is reached, then the controller gain should be increased. The DHC 23 switches over automatically from summer to winter time. The change from winter to summer time is made in the last weekend in March. The change back is Summer/winter time change made in the last weekend in October.

    DHC 23-1 Overwrite TF 26 status (8) If the DHC 23 is controlled at the input TW by a system other than the remote control TF 26, it must be possible to ignore a signal applied at this input. Activating this function has the effect that the applied signal is taken into account only up to the next switching time and then ignored.
