■■
The flow temperature is controlled according to the heat requirement high enough so
that the wanted setpoints of the domestic hot water and of the room temperature are
reached. The room temperature can be regulated accurately using the thermostats
fitted to the radiators.
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.
The room temperature is lowered to a programmable value (night setpoint) in the night
during the heating period.
The pipelines are protected against freezing in that if there is a risk of frost, the heating
water circulates. The frost protection function is always active.
The connected sensors are detected and the type of control set to them automatically.
Sensor defects such as line breaks or short circuits are displayed.
The domestic hot water priority guarantees that the domestic hot water has its desired
temperature constantly in the times of domestic hot water readiness. An additional
interruption of the domestic hot water priority is possible.
The DHC 23 limits the return temperature to the value prescribed by the district heating
station.
To enable a temperature measurement in the return even with closed district heating
valve, the district heating valve is opened briefly every 10 minutes when heat is
required.
Automatic funktions of the DHC 23
Automatic pump preventive

To avoid the heating circuit pump seizing, it is switched on daily for 1 minute.
The change from summer to winter time is automatic exactly at the correct time.
All data are protected by a battery against a power failure.
Further information on the functions and operating parameters is provided in the
Service by the heating specialist chapter.
DHC 23SAFETY NOTES
■■
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.
■■
1. The district heating system must be ready and filled with water so that the pumps
do not run dry.
2. The control device must be installed according to the installation instructions.
3. All electrical connections (power supply, valve actuators, pumps, sensor wiring, etc.)
must be made by the specialist according to the valid VDE regulations and
correspond to the corresponding circuit diagrams (see installation instructions).
4. If an underfloor heating system is connected, a limiting thermostat must be installed
by the customer in addition in the flow line after the heating circuit pump to switch
the pump off at too high flow temperatures.
If all these conditions are fulfilled (have them checked by the heating
specialist), the controller can be put into service.
The current time and date are already set in the factory and protected by a battery.
The timer works according to a basic program and the control functions are preset for
customary district heating systems.

Warning:
With domestic hot water temperatures above 60°C there is danger of scalding at
all domestic hot water taps (kitchen, bathroom ...). You must then mix cold water
sufficiently.
The domestic hot water temperature can be set with the aid of the domestic hot water
temperature knob between 35°C and 75°C.
The set setpoint is always the cut-in value. The domestic hot water charging is
completed after reaching a switching difference (+ 5 K).
In the normal mode, continuous heating mode and domestic hot water rea-diness modes, this temperature is controlled during the set times of domestic hot
water readiness, domestic hot water heating is switched off in between.
If you want to have domestic hot water at other times (e.g. early in the morning), you
must change the times of domestic hot water readiness (see Adjustment by the

ADJUSTMENT BY THE USERDHC 23
■■
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.
1. Open the flap of the DHC 23.
2. Set the setting switch to , or according to whether you want to
change the switching times for heating, domestic hot water or circulation pump.
An A appears in the bottom left of the display (the switching times can be changed
simultaneously for all weekdays in this position) or a number of a weekday (1 = Mo
... 7 = Su). Black bars show the times in which the heating is on on the relevant
weekday (or domestic hot water readiness is switched on). The 1st cut-in time
appears instead of the current time.
Note:
Firstly make all changes which concern all weekdays (A). Only then make the
settings of the individual weekdays (weekdays 1 ... 7). Proceeding in the reverse
order has the effect that the setting of the individual weekdays is overwritten.
3. Now make the setting with the push and turn knob:
Push knob:A or the weekday flashes.
Turn knob:The weekday changes and continues to flash. Turn it until the
Push knob:The 1st cut-in time flashes, also the 1st bar in the display
Turn knob:The flashing bar moves along, at the same time the flashing
Push knob:The 1st cut-off time flashes, also the bar for cutting off and .
Turn knob:The flashing bar moves along, at the same time the flashing

■■
The DHC 23 controller is preset in the factory with expedient control parameters.
These basic settings should cover a large part of the standard applications. However,
to be able to satisfy special requirements, it is additionally possible to adapt important
control parameters or functions.
■■
The following functions and operating parameters apply for all 3 DHC 23 types. The
number behind the described parameter (x) indicates the service switch position with
which the parameter can be selected. Bring the programming switch into the "auto"
position (normal position) for this. If the symbol appears behind the parameter
number "additionally", then the programming switch must previously be brought into
the position.
The current time and the current date were already set in the factory. Leap years are
taken into account automatically as well as summer and winter time.
The DHC 23 ensures that the setpoint of the flow temperature never exceeds the set
maximum value.
The room temperature is lowered during the heating period in the night to the set night
setpoint (night cut-off).
If the outside temperature drops below the frost protection limit, the heating circuit
pump is switched on.
According to outside temperature, a setpoint for the flow temperature between 20°C
and 90°C results through the heating characteristic. The heating characteristic slope
refers to -20°C outside temperature. The curvature of all heating characteristics is
uniformly 1.33.

The heat-up optimization has the effect that the start of heating up of the heating system
is defined according to outside temperature so that the set room temperature is reached already at the set heating times.
This advancing of the heating up start depends upon the building construction:
Light construction = latest temperature rise start,
Heavy construction = earliest temperature rise start.
If a heat-up optimization should be performed, the building construction must therefore
be entered. "Light construction" should be entered for instance for a prefabricated
house, "heavy construction" e.g. for massive construction.
The valve motor running time is the time which the actuator needs to drive the district
heating valve from one end position (closed) to the other end position (open). The running time may have to be adapted only if motors other than the customary
HONEYWELL motors are connected.
Up to the set value, the DHC 23 works as two-point controller; this function simplifies
calorimetry in reduced load operation.

limitation. (C)
Some district heating utilities require minimum volume flows in their networks, this
can be achieved by a high temperature difference between flow and return. The
required temperature spread is assured by the maximum limitation of the district
heating return temperature. With the maximum limitation, both a fixed value limitation
can be performed and a floating limitation can be realized according to the outside
temperature by setting the parameters. Fixed value limitation to 50°C, for instance,
means that the district heating return temperature will not exceed this value over the
entire outside temperature range.
However, it is desirable at higher outside temperatures to shift this maximum limitation
downwards, i.e. to perform a floating district heating return temperature limitation. In this
way the lowest possible district heating return temperature is achieved, assigned to the
relevant outside temperature and thus good heat utilization.
The values for the maximum limitation of the remote heating return temperature and
the onset point of the floating remote heating return temperature limitation in heating
mode can be set, the floating return temperature limitation can be switched off by
selecting 10°C as onset point.

The reset time of the flow temperature controller can be adapted in critical systems.
The stability of the control is influenced by the controller gain. If the district heating
valve oscillates constantly open and closed, the controller gain must be set to a smaller
value. 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
made in the last weekend in October. If the change-over dates should change, these
can be adapted.

Special functions and operating parameters
for DHC 23-1
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.
The inlet temperature in the external domestic hot water heat exchanger can be limited
upwards to prevent calcification. This function is active only in layered domestic hot
water storage tank operation (DHC 23-1).
In problematic systems, the switching difference between cut-in and cut-off temperature
can be changed.
This switching difference influences the duration of the charging pump run-on in
layered domestic hot water storage tank operation.
During domestic hot water charging, the return temperature limitation can be
cancelled. The higher values for the return temperature allowed for this special case
are determined here
The entry of 0 min. (time set in the factory) is treated as absolute domestic hot water
priority: The heating circuit pump is switched off as long as domestic hot water is being
charged. However, should the heating circuit cool down too much because of domestic
hot water charging, the DHC 23 can be set to interrupted domestic hot water priority by
changing the value from 0 min. (e.g. to 15 min.). The domestic hot water charging
pump and heating circuit pump then alternate and are operated in each case as long
as entered here (e.g. 15 min.).

for DHC 23-3
The valve actuator running time is the time which the actuator needs to drive the valve
from one end position into the other end position "open". Only if actuators other than
the usual Honeywell motors are connected may the running time have to be adapted.
The reset time of the control circuit M2 can be adapted in critical systems.
The stability of the control is influenced by the controller gain. If the district heating
valve oscillates constantly open and closed, the controller gain must be set to a smaller
value. If the system requires too long until the room setpoint is reached, then the
controller gain should be increased.
The return temperature limitation can be cancelled during domestic hot water charging.
The higher value for the return temperature allowed for this special case is determined
here.

The most important function of the DHC 23 can be remotely controlled from the living
room with the comfortable remote control TF 26:
– Set setpoint for the room temperature
– Switch heating on or off
autoHeating and domestic hot water readiness are switched on corresponding
The setting of the remote control TF 26 is added to the setting on the DHC 23. For
instance, if 19°C is set as setpoint on the DHC 23 and +2 K on the remote control, then
an effective setpoint of 21°C results.
Connection for remote control TF 26
