Heating/cooling per circuit

What is heating/cooling per circuit?

With the routine Heating/cooling per circuit you can define the cooling/heating behaviour of a single or a combined system. If your system comprises a circuit pump, this will be controlled with this routine. Within the system, you can connect a zone valve to athermostat (550-13053), a push button with LED(s) and comfort sensors, a MOTIV Sense3 or a Digital black, 24 V.

The Digital black 230V cannot be used as a thermostat.
