4 User Manual

4.1Control modes overview

The DEVIreg™ Multi is 7 channels controller and every channel can be individually set up with one from three control modes:

1.Single sensor control with temperature sensor - ‘1 Sensor’ mode or ‘1S’..

2.Time proportional power regulation – ‘Power Regulation’ mode or ‘PR’..

3.Manually On/Off control with time period – ‘MOn’/’MOf’ mode..

1S mode or Single sensor control

1S mode is control with temperature sensor and adjustable hysteresis.. 1S control typically can be used for Pipe heating, Ground Ice & Snow melting, Cold rooms’ protection, Comfort Floor heating, Total heating and other applications with temperature control..

This control mode is similar to well-known DEVIreg™ 316 thermostat..

Universal analog channel’s inputs (AI) can be selected via software between 8 types of temperature sensors including NTC 15 kOhm at 25°C..

This mode can be set up with special function to control Alarm min.. and max.. temperatures.. Additionally, it can be set up with so called Cable OK? function which uses channel digital input (DI) with connected Current Monitoring Relay (CMR) to control availability of electricity passing through a heating cable or similar..

PR mode or Power Regulation control

PR mode is time proportional power regulation with a simple duty cycle generator.. Time for status ‘Heating On’ during the chosen mode cycle can be set up by installer.. PR control typically can be used where one wants to dissipate a subjective amount of power..

This mode is also not connected to a temperature sensor and is therefore very suitable for installation where it is impossible to install temperature sensor..

This control mode is similar to well-known DEVIreg™ 527 controller..

This mode can be set up with so called Cable OK? function which uses channel digital input (DI) with connected Current Monitoring Relay (CMR) to control power consumption or similar..

Manually On/Of mode

Manually On/Of mode (on the screen – MOn or MOf) is control with setting time period during which relay status ‘Heating On’ or ‘Heating Of’ will operate..

NB: This mode can be used only on the base of 1S or PR modes and upon its completion controller returns to the same mode from which it started.

4.4Control modes, special functions, special statuses and settings

Each of 7 Channels has possibility to be individually set up with one of three control modes – 1S (1 Sensor), PR (Power Regulation) and MOn/MOf (Manually On/Of)..

The controller configurations for these 3 modes are the following:

1.Single sensor control with temperature sensor or 1S: one temperature sensor input, one relay output;

2.Power regulation control or time proportional power regulation or PR: no sensor input, one relay output;

3.Heating control Manually On and Manually Off with setting time period or MOn and MOf: no sensor input, one relay output;

Together with any control mode could be set up or enabled/disabled some special functions and statuses:“Relay status RO/RC”,“CableOK?”,“Relay test 5/30”,“Channel ON/OFF”and “Device ON/OFF”.. Special functions and statuses are specified in chapters below..

Additionally, any Channel can be set up with status ‘not Active’ or Active = No.. It means Channel does not work at all and “empty” line appears on the Main Screen..

4.4.1Active and Not Active Channel status

Not Active status can be used for applications there is no need to use full channel set of 7.. And view/line for the Channel which is not used is simply deleted from the screen..

By the way, standard factory setting for DEVIreg™ Multi supposes 1 active Channel #2.. The Main Screen with the only one Active Channel #2 is as on the picture below:
