CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS – MAIN MENU
The main menu offers basic controller options.
MAIN MENU
- Pre-set valve temperature
- ON/OFF
- Screen view
- Manual mode
- Fitter’s menu
- Service menu
- Screen settings
- Language
- Factory settings
- Software version
-
Pre-set valve temperature
This option is used to set the desired temperature which the valve is to maintain. During proper operation, the temperature of water downstream of the valve approximates the pre-set valve temperature. -
ON/OFF
This option enables the user to activate the mixing valve. When the valve is switched off, the pump is also inactive. The valve is always calibrated when the controller is connected to the mains even if the valve is deactivated. It prevents the valve from remaining in a position that may cause danger to the heating circuit. -
Screen view
This option is used to adjust the main screen layout by choosing between the CH view, sensors temperature view, return protection view, or the view with parameters of one built-in or additional valve (only when the valves are active). When the sensor’s temperature view is selected, the screen displays the valve temperature (current value), current CH boiler temperature, current return temperature, and external temperature. In valve 1 and valve 2 view the screen displays the parameters of the selected valve: current and pre-set temperature, external temperature, return temperature, and percent of valve opening. -
Manual mode
This option is used to manually open/close the valve (and additional valves if active) as well as to switch the pump on/off to check if the devices work properly. -
Fitter’s menu
Functions available in the Fitter’s menu should be configured by qualified fitters and concern advanced parameters of the controller. -
Service menu
Functions available in this submenu should be accessed only by service staff and qualified fitters. Access to this menu is secured with a code provided by Tech.
Screen settings
Screen settings may be customized to satisfy the user’s needs.
-
Contrast
This function enables the user to adjust the display contrast. -
Screen blanking time
This function enables the user to set the screen blanking time (the screen brightness is reduced to the user-defined level – Blank screen brightness parameter). -
Screen brightness
This function enables the user to adjust the screen brightness during standard operation e.g. while viewing the options, changing the settings etc. -
Blank screen brightness
This function enables the user to adjust the brightness of the blank screen which is activated automatically after a pre-defined period of inactivity. -
Energy saving
Once this option is activated, the screen brightness is automatically reduced by 20%. -
Language
This option is used to choose the language version of the controller menu. -
Factory settings
The controller is pre-configured for operation. However, the settings should be customized to the user’s needs. Return to factory settings is possible at any time. Once the factory settings option is activated, all customized CH boiler settings are lost and replaced with the manufacturer’s settings. Then, the valve parameters may be customized anew. -
Software version
This option is used to view the software version number – the information is necessary when contacting the service staff.
CONTROLLER FUNCTION– FITTER’S MENU
Fitter’s menu options should be configured by qualified users. They concern
advanced parameters of controller operation.
Summer mode
In this mode, the controller closes the CH valve in order not to heat the
house unnecessarily. If the CH boiler temperature is too high (return
protection must be active!) the valve is opened in emergency procedure. This
mode is inactive in the case of controlling the floor valve and in Return
protection mode.
Summer mode does not influence the cooling valve operation.
TECH regulator
It is possible to connect a room regulator with RS communication to the EU-I-1
controller. This option allows the user to configure the regulator by
selecting the ON option.
NOTE
For the EU-I-1 controller to cooperate with the room regulator with RS
communication, it is necessary to set the communication mode to the main. The
appropriate option should also be selected in the Room Regulator submenu.
Valve settings
This submenu is divided into two parts corresponding to particular valves – a
built-in valve and up to two additional valves. Additional valve parameters
may be accessed only after the valves have been registered.
Built-in valve
- for built-in valve only
- for additional valves only
Registration
In the case of using additional valves, it is necessary to register the valve
by entering its module number before its parameters may be configured.
- If the EU-I-1 RS valve module is used, it must be registered. The registration code may be found on the rear cover or in the software version submenu (EU-I-1 valve: MENU -> Software version).
- The remaining valve settings may be found in the Service menu. EU-I-1 controller should be set as subordinate and the user should choose the sensors according to individual needs.
Valve removal
NOTE
This option is available only for an additional valve (external module).
This option is used to remove the valve from the controller memory. Valve
removal is used e.g. at disassembling the valve or module replacement (re-
registration of a new module is necessary).
-
Version
This option is used to check the software version used in the subordinate module. -
ON/OFF
For the valve to be active, select ON. To deactivate the vale temporarily, select OFF. -
Pre-set valve temperature
This option is used to set the desired temperature which the valve is to maintain. During proper operation, the temperature of water downstream of the valve approximates the pre-set valve temperature. -
Calibration
This function enables the user to calibrate the built-in valve at any time. During this process the valve is restored to its safe position – in the case of the CH valve it is fully opened whereas in the case of the floor valve, it is closed. -
Single stroke
This is the maximum single stroke (opening or closing) that the valve may make during one temperature sampling. If the temperature is near the pre-set value, the stroke is calculated based on the proportionality coefficient parameter value. The smaller the single stroke, the more precisely the set temperature can be achieved. However, it takes longer for the set temperature to be reached. -
Minimum opening
The parameter determines the smallest valve opening. Thanks to this parameter, the valve may be opened minimally, to maintain the smallest flow. -
Opening time
This parameter defines the time needed for the valve to open from 0% to 100% position. This value should be set under the specification given on the actuator rating plate. -
Measurement pause
This parameter determines the frequency of water temperature measurement (control) behind the CH valve. If the sensor indicates a temperature change (deviation from the pre-set value), the electric valve will open or close by the pre-set stroke, to return to the pre-set temperature. -
Valve hysteresis
This option is used to set the hysteresis of the pre-set valve temperature. It is the difference between the pre-set (desired) temperature and the temperature at which the valve will start closing or opening.
Example:
Pre-set valve temperature | 50°C |
---|---|
Hysteresis | 2°C |
Valve stops at | 50°C |
Valve closing | 52°C |
Valve opening | 48°C |
- When the pre-set temperature is 50°C and the hysteresis value is 2°C, the valve stops in one position when the temperature of 50°C is reached. When the temperature drops to 48°C, the valve starts opening.
- When the temperature of 52°C is reached, the valve starts closing to reduce the temperature.
Valve type
With this option, the user chooses the type of valve to be controlled:
-
CH – select if you want to control the temperature of the CH circuit using the valve sensor. The valve sensor should be installed downstream of the mixing valve on the supply pipe.
-
FLOOR – select if you want to control the temperature of the underfloor heating circuit. It protects the underfloor heating system against dangerous temperatures. If the user selects CH as the valve type and connects it to the underfloor heating system, the fragile floor installation may be damaged.
-
RETURN PROTECTION – select if you want to control the return temperature using the return sensor. When this type of valve is selected, only return and CH boiler sensors are active whereas the valve sensor should not be connected to the controller. In this mode, the valve priority is to protect the CH boiler return against low temperatures. When the CH boiler protection option is selected as well, the valve also protects the CH boiler against overheating. When the valve is closed (0% opening), water flows only through the short circuit whereas when the valve is open (100% opening), the short circuit is closed and water flows through the heating system.
- WARNING
When CH boiler protection is active, CH temperature does not influence the valve opening. In extreme cases, it may cause CH boiler overheating. Therefore, it is advisable to configure CH boiler protection settings.
- WARNING
-
COOLING – select if you want to control the cooling system temperature (the valve opens when the pre-set temperature is lower than the valve sensor temperature). In this valve type the following functions are not available: CH boiler protection, return protection. This type of valve works regardless of active summer mode and the pump operation is based on the deactivation threshold. Additionally, this type of valve has a separate heating curve for the Weather-based control function.
Opening in CH calibration
When this function has been activated, the valve calibration starts from the
opening phase. This option is available only if the CH valve type has been
selected.
Floor heating- summer
The function is active when selecting the valve type as floor valve Activating
this function will cause the floor valve to operate in summer mode.
Weather-based control
Heating curve
- Heating curve – a curve according to which the pre-set controller temperature is determined, based on external temperature. In our controller, this curve is constructed based on four pre-set temperatures (downstream of the valve) for respective values of external temperatures -20°C, -10°C, 0°C, and 10°C.
- A separate heating curve applies to the Cooling mode. It is set for the following outside temperatures: 10 °C, 20° C, 30° C, 40° C.
Room regulator
This submenu is used to configure the parameters of the room regulator which is to control the valve.
The room regulator function is not available in cooling mode.
-
Control without room regulator
When this option is selected, the room regulator does not influence the valve operation. -
TECH regulator
The valve is controlled by a room regulator with RS communication. When this function is selected, the regulator operates according to Room reg. temp. lower parameter. -
TECH proportional regulator
This type of regulator allows the user to view the current temperatures of the CH boiler, water tank, and valves. It should be connected to the RS socket of the controller. When this type of room regulator is selected, the valve is controlled according to Change in the set temp. and Room temperature difference parameters. -
Standard valve regulator
When this option is selected, the valve is controlled by a standard two-state regulator (without RS communication). The controller operates according to Room reg. temp. lower parameter.
Room regulator options
- Room reg. temp. lower
NOTE
This parameter concerns the Standard valve regulator and TECH regulator.
The user defines the temperature value by which the pre-set valve temperature will be reduced when the pre-set room regulator temperature is reached.
- Room temperature difference
NOTE
This parameter concerns the TECH proportional regulator function.
This setting is used to define a single change in the current room temperature (with the accuracy of 0.1°C) at which a predefined change in the pre-set temperature of the valve is introduced
- Change in the set temp.
NOTE
This parameter concerns the TECH proportional regulator function.
This setting determines by how many degrees the valve temperature is to increase or decrease with a single unit change in room temperature (see: Room temperature difference) This function is active only with the TECH room regulator and it is closely related to the Room temperature difference parameter.
Example:
SETTINGS:
Room temperature difference| 0,5°C
Change in the set temp.| 1°C
Pre-set valve temperature| 40°C
Pre-set temperature of room regulator| 23°C
-
Case 1:
If the room temperature rises to 23,5ºC ( 0,5ºC above the pre-set room temperature), the valve closes until 39ºC is reached ( 1ºC change). -
Case 2:
If the room temperature drops to 22ºC (1ºC below the pre-set room temperature), the valve opens until 42ºC is reached (2ºC change – because for every 0,5°C of room temperature difference, the pre-set valve temperature changes by 1°C ).- Room regulator function
This function is used to decide if the valve should close or the temperature should decrease when the pre-set temperature has been reached.
Proportionality coefficient
The proportionality coefficient is used for defining valve stroke. The closer
to the pre-set temperature, the smaller the stroke. If the coefficient value
is high, the valve takes less time to open but at the same time the opening
degree is less accurate. The following formula is used to calculate the
percent of a single opening:
??????? ?? ? ?????? ???????= (??? ???????????−?????? ???????????)∙
- ??????????????? ???????????/10
Opening direction
If, after connecting the valve to the controller, it turns out that it is connected the other way around, then the power supply cables do not have to be switched. Instead, it is enough to change the opening direction in this parameter: LEFT or RIGHT.
Maximum floor temperature
NOTE
This option is available only when the valve type selected is the floor valve.
This function is used to define the maximum temperature of the valve sensor (if the floor valve is selected). Once this temperature is reached, the valve is closed, the pump is disabled and the main screen of the controller informs about floor overheating.
Sensor selection
This option concerns the return sensor and external sensor. It is used to
choose if the additional valve operation control should be based on the
readings from the sensors of the valve module or the main controller sensors.
CH sensor
This option concerns the CH sensor. It is used to choose if the additional
valve operation should be based on the readings from the sensors of the valve
module or the main controller sensors.
CH boiler protection
The protection against too high a return temperature serves to prevent the hazardous growth in CH boiler temperature. The user sets the maximum acceptable return temperature. In case of a hazardous growth in temperature, the valve begins to open to the house heating system to cool the CH boiler down.
CH boiler protection function is not available with the cooling valve type.
Maximum temperature
The user defines the maximum acceptable CH temperature at which the valve will
open.
Return protection
This function allows setting up CH boiler protection against too-cool water returning from the main circulation, which could cause low-temperature boiler corrosion. The return protection involves closing the valve when the temperature is too low until the short circulation of the boiler reaches the appropriate temperature.
The return protection function is not available with the cooling valve type.
Minimum return temperature
The user defines the minimum acceptable return temperature at which the valve
will close.
Valve pump
Pump operation modes
This option is used to select the pump operation mode.
-
Always-ON – the pump operates all the time, regardless of temperature.
-
Always OFF – the pump is permanently deactivated and the regulator controls only valve operation
-
ON above threshold – the pump is activated above the pre-set activation temperature. If the pump is to be activated above the threshold, the user should also define the threshold temperature of pump activation. The temperature is read from the CH sensor.
-
Deactivation threshold*- the pump is enabled below the pre-set deactivation temperature measured on
CH sensor. Above the pre-set value the pump is disabled.- The deactivation threshold function is available after selecting Cooling as the valve type.
Pump switch on temperature
This option concerns the pump operating above the threshold (see: above). The
valve pump is switched on when the CH boiler reaches the pump activation
temperature.
Pump anti-stop
When this function is active, the valve pump is activated every 10 days for 2
minutes. It prevents stagnant water in the heating system outside the heating
season.
Closing below temp. threshold
Once this function is activated (by selecting ON), the valve remains closed
until the CH boiler sensor reaches the pump activation temperature.
NOTE
If EU-I-1 is used as the additional valve module, pump anti-stop and closing
below temp. threshold may be configured directly from the subordinate module
menu.
-
Valve pump room regulator
When this option is active, the room regulator disables the pump when the pre- set temperature has been reached. -
Only pump
When this option is active, the regulator controls only the pump while the valve is not controlled. -
Operation – 0%
Once this function has been activated, the valve pump will operate even if the valve is completely closed (valve opening = 0%). -
External sensor calibration
External sensor calibration is performed while mounting or after the regulator has been used for a long time if the external temperature displayed differs from the actual temperature. Calibration range is from -10⁰C to +10⁰C.
Closing
NOTE
- Function available after entering the code.
- This parameter is used to decide if the valve should close or open once it has been switched off in CH mode. Select this option to close the valve. If this function is not selected, the valve will open.
Valve weekly control
- This function enables the user to program daily changes of the pre-set valve temperature for a particular time and day of the week. The settings range for the temperature changes is +/-10˚C.
- To activate weekly control, select mode 1 or mode 2. Detailed settings of each mode are provided in the following sections: Set mode 1 and Set mode 2. (separate settings for each day of the week) and mode 2 (separate settings for working days and the weekend).
- NOTE For this function to work properly, it is necessary to set the current date and time.
HOW TO CONFIGURE WEEKLY CONTROL
There are 2 modes of setting weekly control:
MODE 1 – the user sets the temperature deviations for each day of the week separately
Configuring mode 1:
- Select: Set mode 1
- Select the day of the week to be edited
- The following screen appears on the display:
- Use <+> <-> buttons to select the hour to be edited and press MENU to confirm.
- Select CHANGE from the options that appear at the bottom of the screen by pressing MENU when this option is highlighted in white.
- Increase or decrease the temperature as needed and confirm.
- The range of pre-set temperature change is -10°C to 10°C.
- If you want to copy the temperature change value for the next hours, press the MENU button when the setting is selected. When options appear at the bottom of the screen, select COPY and use <+> <-> buttons to copy the settings into the previous or the following hour. Press MENU to confirm.
Example:
If the pre-set CH boiler temperature is 50°C, on Mondays between 400 and 700 the CH boiler will increase by 5°C to reach 55°C; between 700 and 1400 it will drop by 10°C, to reach 40°C, and between 1700 and 2200 it will increase to reach 57°C. If the pre-set CH boiler temperature is 50°C, on Mondays between 400 and 700 the CH boiler will increase by 5°C to reach 55°C; between 700 and 1400 it will drop by 10°C, to reach 40°C, and between 1700 and 2200 it will increase to reach 57°C.
MODE 2 – the user sets the temperature deviations for all working days (Monday-Friday) and for the weekend (Saturday-Sunday) separately.
Configuring mode 2:
- Select Set mode 2.
- Select the part of the week to be edited.
- Follow the same procedure as in the case of Mode 1.
Example:
If the pre-set CH boiler temperature is 50°C, from Monday to Friday between 400 and 700 the CH boiler will increase by 5°C to reach 55°C; between 700 and 1400 it will drop by 10°C, to reach 40°C, and between 1700 and 2200 it will increase to reach 57°C. At the weekend, between 600 and 900 the temperature will increase by 5°C to reach 55°C, and between 1700 and 2200 it will increase to reach 57°C.
Factory settings
This function enables the user to restore the factory settings for a
particular valve. Restoring factory settings changes the type of valve
selected to CH valve.
Time settings
This parameter is used to set the current time.
- Use <+> and <-> to set the hour and minutes separately.
Date settings
This parameter is used to set the current date.
- Use <+> and <-> to set the day, month, and year separately.
GSM module
NOTE
This type of control is available only after purchasing and connecting an
additional controlling module ST-65 which is not included in the standard
controller set.
- If the controller is equipped with an additional GSM module, it is necessary to activate it by selecting ON.
GSM Module is an optional device that, cooperating with the controller, enables the user to remote control the CH boiler operation via mobile phone. The user is sent an SMS each time an alarm occurs. Moreover, after sending a certain text message, the user receives feedback on the current temperature of all the sensors. Remote change of the preset temperatures is also possible after entering the authorization code. GSM Module may operate independently of the CH boiler controller. It has two additional inputs with temperature sensors, one contact input to be used in any configuration (detecting closing/opening of contacts), and one controlled output (e.g. a possibility of connecting an additional contractor to control any electric circuit)
When any of the temperature sensors reach the pre-set maximum or minimum temperature, the module automatically sends an SMS message with such information. A similar procedure is used in the case of opening or closing of the contact input, which may be used as a simple means of property protection.
Internet module
NOTE
This type of control is available only after purchasing and connecting an
additional controlling module ST-505 which is not included in the standard
controller set.
- Before registering the module, it is necessary to create a user’s account on emodul.pl ( if you do not have one).
- Once the module has been connected properly, select Module ON.
- Next, select Registration. The controller will generate a code.
- Log on emodul.pl, go to the Settings tab and enter the code that appeared on the controller screen.
- It is possible to assign any name or description to the module as well as provide a phone number and e-mail address to which the notifications will be sent.
- Once generated, the code should be entered within an hour. Otherwise, it will become invalid and it will be necessary to generate a new one.
- Internet module parameters such as IP address, IP mask, gate address enc. maybe set manually or by selecting the DHCP option.
- Internet module is a device enabling the user remote control of the CH boiler via the Internet. Emodul.pl enables the user to control the status of all CH boiler system devices and temperature sensors on the home computer screen, tablet, or smartphone. Tapping on corresponding icons, the user may adjust the operation parameters, pre-set temperatures for pumps and valves, etc.
Communication mode
- The user may choose between the main communication mode (independent) or the subordinate mode (in cooperation with the master controller at the CH boiler or other valve module ST-431N).
- In subordinate communication mode, the valve controller serves as the module and its settings are configured via the CH boiler controller. The following options are unavailable: connecting a room regulator with RS communication (e.g. ST-280, ST-298), connecting the Internet module (ST-65), or the additional valve module (ST-61).
External sensor calibration
External sensor calibration is performed while mounting or after it has been
used for a long time if the external temperature displayed differs from the
actual temperature. Calibration range is from -10⁰C to +10⁰C. The averaging
time parameter defines the frequency at which the external sensor readings are
sent to the controller.
Software update
This function is used to update/change the software version installed in the
controller.
NOTE
It is advisable to have software updates conducted by a qualified fitter. Once
the change has been introduced, it is impossible to restore previous settings.

PROTECTIONS AND ALARMS
To ensure safe and failure-free operation, the regulator has been equipped with a range of protections. In case of alarm, a sound signal is activated and an appropriate message appears on the screen.
| DESCRIPTION
---|---
| It stops the valve temperature control and sets the valve in its safe
position (floor valve – closed; CH valve-open).
| No sensor connected/improperly connected sensor/sensor damage. The sensor is
essential for proper valve operation so it needs to be replaced immediately.
| This alarm occurs when the return protection function is active and the
sensor is damaged. Check the sensor mounting or replace it if damaged.
It is possible to deactivate the alarm by disabling the return protection function
| This alarm occurs when the external temperature sensor is damaged. The alarm
may be deactivated when the undamaged sensor is installed properly. The alarm
does not occur in other operation modes than ‘Weather-based control’ or ‘Room
control with weather-based control’.
| This alarm may occur if the device has been improperly configured with the
sensor, the sensor has not been connected, or has been damaged.
To solve the problem, check the connections on the terminal block, make sure the connection cable is not damaged and there is no short circuit, and check if the sensor works properly by connecting another sensor in its place and checking its readings.
