Congratulations! You have chosen a Sauter heating controller. The
equitherm
EQJW 145 is a quality product from one of the leading
manufacturers of control technology products for the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning industry.
The EQJW 145 is a compact, weather-compensated heating controller used
to regulate flow temperatures and domestic hot water preparation. In
automatic mode, the EQJW 145 reduces the room temperature during the
night (reduced mode) by means of switching commands from the weekly time
switch (weekly switching programme), and during the day it switches to the
normal temperature. Domestic hot water preparation is switched on or off via
another switching programme. There is a choice of two adjustable
temperatures for domestic hot water. The EQJW 145 is suitable for buildings
of all types. A fixed basic programme (factory setting) ensures that
commissioning is simple. Any adaptations to the heating system which might
be needed are implemented using SERVice parameters. Automatic
summertime/wintertime change-over eliminates the need for residents to
adjust the time twice a year. The equitherm
EQJW 145 incorporates a
variety of protective functions such as the anti-frost function and the pump
anti-jamming facility. Additional functions such as automatic switch-off are
also implemented. For every installation, these features ensure optimal
comfort with the minimum use of energy.
Analogue or digital room operating units can be connected to the EQJW 145,
enabling convenient remote control of the controller from the living room.
A programmable output is provided for additional tasks. For example, it may
be used as a pilot timer output, as a signal for a collective fault alarm, and to
activate a circulating pump for domestic hot water. The communication
interface makes it possible to network several controllers, to connect to a
control station and to send alarms to a mobile telephone via SMS.
1.2Safety information
Special care is required in order to prevent injuries, damage by fire or
damage to equipment. After the device has been installed by a specialist in
accordance with the Installation Instructions enclosed with it (MV506103),
please read these instructions on operating it. Local regulations must be
followed during installation. The controller is not a safety-relevant component.
The anti-frost, overheating protection and flow temperature limitation
functions do not replace the relevant safety equipment.
Normal mode corresponds to nominal mode as per EN 12098-1.
Back-up mode means that the heating is switched off and the anti-frost function is active.

and 'Explanations for individual SERVice parameters'.
In SERVice level, a specialist can adapt the basic setting of the EQJW 145 to
the installation so as to meet specific requirements. For this purpose, also
please note the installation instructions enclosed with the EQJW 145
(MV506103).
Incorrect parameterisation (setting) of the heating controller
It can cause major faults on the installation, injuries to people or damage to
the installation.
SERVice mode must only be enabled by a specialist.
Some of the parameters cannot be changed - they can only be viewed
(version number, status information).
3.3.5Explanations for individual SERVice parameters
SP01
SP02
SP03
SP04
View software version
The controller's software version number is shown.
View device status
SERVice parameter 2 allows you to read the device status of the EQJW 145.
Value 0 means that the EQJW 145 is operating without faults. The coding for
faults is shown in section7.1.2. Once the fault is rectified, the value for the
SERVice parameter is reset automatically.
Note: this coded error description is primarily used to signal faults via bus,
modem or SMS. Faults can be conveniently read directly from the ERROR
display on the controller (see7.1).
Logbook
This is not a parameter but an indicator for the logbook, in which the date,
time and type of fault is entered for every fault that occurs during operation.
Further information on this function can be found in section 7.2.
Software reset
Switching commands and/or SERVice or communication parameters are
returned to the factory setting. To do this, the value of the SERVice
parameter must be changed and confirmed. After this, the EQJW 145
performs the relevant reset and assigns value 0 to the parameter.
SP05
SP06
Manual mode
SERVice parameter SP05 is used to disable or enable manual mode. If the
value of the parameter is 0, manual mode is disabled.
Control model
Various control models are stored in the EQJW 145. Use this parameter to
specify the model that the EQJW 145 uses as the basis for control. The
following control models are available for selection.
MOD1: one control valve on the primary side
(SP06 =1)
MOD2:one control valve on the secondary side (SP06 = 2)
MOD3:two control valves on the primary side (SP06 = 3)
With MOD1 and MOD2, it is possible not only to control a heating circuit but
also to prepare DHW. SERVice parameter 33 can be used to configure the
DHW preparation.
With MOD3, the second control valve on the primary side is used for fixedvalue control (e.g. for DHW preparation). The assignment of TF2 or T
RF2
to
the appropriate terminal is done automatically (see wiring diagram). More
information about the control models and the most important applications is
given in the section on 'Information on applications'.
Effect of binary / pulse input (terminals 21, 22)
If the external switching contact is closed, this SERVice parameter can be set
appropriately (SP07 = 0, 1 or 2) to influence the heating programme, as long
as the controller is in automatic mode. If the contact is opened again, the
controller will operate according to the weekly / calendar switching
programme again and the following apply:
0 = HK in back-up mode if contact is closed
1 = HK in reduced mode if contact is closed
2 = HK in nominal mode if contact is closed
Alternatively, the input can be used for quantity metering (and therefore for
quantity limitation as well), to limit see page or to forward a fault signal (using
a modem via SMS or via the configurable relay output to another device). For
SP07, the values mean:
3 = input used as pulse input for quantity metering
4 = input used to limit seepage
The minimum flow can be limited. A signal from the auxiliary contacts of a
control unit can be used to do this. If the contact input is closed, the valve
on the primary side closes and is not opened again until the setpoint for
the flow temperature is 5K higher than the actual value.
5 = input is a fault signal input, used to forward fault signals from other
devices
SP08
Room temperature recording
Various types of room temperature sensor can be connected:
0 = no room temperature recording
1 = connect room sensor
2 = connect EGS52/15 or EGT333 with room sensor
3 = connect EGS52/15 or EGT333 without room sensor
4 = only for MOD1,2 with second tank charge pump (SP49 = 2): the
analogue input (terminal 28) is not used as a room sensor but as a second
flow sensor for DHW preparation (also see the section on 'Application
examples').
Room operating unit EGS52/15 allows you to switch over the controller's
mode remotely. Room operating unit EDB100 can also be connected via the
device bus and used to switch the mode over. The mode on the EQJW145
can also be changed using a control station via Modbus. In case of
contradictory commands, the following priority applies: direct settings on
EQJW145 have priority 1. A setting using room operating unit EDB100 via
device bus or a preset via Modbus have priority 2. The setting via the binary
input has priority 3. Settings on room operating unit EGS52/15 have the
lowest priority. If the setpoint for the room temperature is changed via the
setpoint transmitter of the EGS 52/15 or EGT 333 room operating units, it
also changes the actual value for the room temperature at the sensor input of
the EQJW 145. This, in turn, means that the flow temperature and, therefore,
the heating capacity, for the room are altered accordingly.
SP09
SP10
Connect room temperature
A room temperature sensor (resistance sensor or device bus) is required for
this function. The flow temperature setpoint is changed – in divergence from
the setpoint according to the heating characteristic – if the room temperature
in the reference room diverges from the room setpoint. The change in flow
temperature is limited to a maximum of ± 30K.
SP09 = 1 or 2 can be used to allow the room temperature connection to
influence the flow setpoint in one direction only. The meanings are:
0 = flow temperature is not changed, i.e. the room temperature connection
is not enabled
1 = flow setpoint can only be reduced, i.e. the room temperature
connection is only enabled if TRi> T
2 = flow setpoint can only be increased, i.e. the room temperature
connection is only enabled if TRi< T
3 = flow setpoint can be reduced and increased, i.e. the room temperature
connection is enabled if TRi<> T
Rs

Scanning time for room temperature if connected
If the room temperature connection is enabled, this SERVice parameter
determines the period within which a one-off adaptation of the flow setpoint
can occur. In "heavy" buildings with sluggish heating systems, a higher value
is more suitable than it would be for buildings of lightweight construction and
heating that reacts quickly. This time must not be too short, so as to prevent
control fluctuations. The algorithm prevents hunting by changing the flow
setpoint more quickly (at a rate of ±2 K within a scanning period) when the
deviation of the room temperature is diminishing than when it is increasing (at
a rate of ±1 K within a scanning period). If the deviation of the room
temperature is less than 0.25 K, the flow setpoint is not altered. In most
cases, the factory setting (20 minutes) provides satisfactory results for
residential buildings. As a general rule, the factory setting (20 minutes) leads
to satisfactory results in residential buildings.
Open windows or other cooling or heating loads can influence control!
Sudden removal of these influences can lead to the value moving above or
below the room temperature in the opposite direction for short periods!
Correction to room temperature
The measured value for the room temperature is calibrated with the help of
this SERVice parameter. The value that was entered is added to the
measured value for the room temperature.
Correction to outdoor temperature
The measured value for the outdoor temperature is calibrated with the help of
this SERVice parameter. The value that was entered is added to the
measured value for the outdoor temperature.

Return temperature recording
If a return temperature sensor is to be used, this parameter must be set to 1.
Correction to return temperature
The measured value for the return temperature is calibrated with the help of
this SERVice parameter. The value that was entered is added to the
measured value for the return temperature. If there are two return sensors
(MOD3), this parameter only affects the TRF of the heating circuit.
Proportional band
SERVice parameter 15 specifies the proportional band (XP) of PI control for
the flow temperature in K.
Proportional band – 2nd control circuit (only MOD3)
SERVice Parameter 16 specifies the proportional band (XP) of PI control for
the second control circuit in K.
Reset time
SERVice parameter 17 specifies the reset time (TN) of PI control for the flow
temperature in seconds.
Reset time – 2nd control circuit (only MOD3)
SERVice parameter 18 specifies the reset time (TN) of PI control for the
second control circuit in seconds.

Runtime for actuator of control valve
Valves with a motorised actuator need a specified time to open or close
completely. This is known as the valve runtime. This SERVice parameter is
used to set the equitherm
EQJW 145 to the runtime of the valve drive that is
used. Optimal control quality and various protective functions are only
ensured if the valve runtime is set correctly.
Runtime for second actuator
Depending on the control model, a second control valve is used on the
primary side, or a changeover valve is used on the secondary side. SERVice
parameter SP20 is used to set the valve runtime for the second actuator.
Minimum and maximum limits for flow temperature
The setpoint for the flow temperature can be limited. The value of SERVice
parameter SP21 sets the lower limit in this case, and the value of SERVice
parameter 22 sets the upper limit. Parameters SP21 and SP22 specify a
minimum and maximum flow temperature.
Limiting function for the return temperature
A limiting function can be set for the primary-side return temperature of the
converter. If the value falls below the limiting function, the flow temperature is
adjusted (also see SP28). The following illustration shows the limiting
function.
The following parameters are available to set the limiting function:
SP23
SP24
SP25
Upper value of maximum limit for primary return temperature
(T
) for heating.
LO(RF)
Lower value of maximum limit for primary return temperature

A(RF)
the limiting function for the primary return temperature starts
during heating.
SP26
Slope (S
) of the sliding portion of the limiting function for
L(RF)
the primary return temperature for heating.
SP27
Maximum limit (T
LOBW(RF)
) for the primary return temperature
during DHW heating.
In MOD1 or MOD2, if the heating is in reduced or normal mode and DHW
heating occurs at the same time, the maximum limit value for the primary
return temperature is checked with the outdoor-temperature-dependent value
for the heating circuit and the fixed value for the DHW during this time.
To make the return temperature limitation effective, return temperature
recording must be enabled (see SP13). In summer mode, or if the heating is
in back-up mode, the limitation on the return temperature for the heating is
not enabled.
Intervention intensity if return temperature is exceeded
If the limiting function for the return temperature set with SP23-SP27 is
exceeded, the setpoint for the flow temperature is reduced by the value
indicated in SP28 for each degree of the excess.

SP29 - SP31
Maximum limit values for quantity metering
SP29, SP30 and SP31 specify maximum limit values for quantity metering
(i.e. usually for the flow or heat quantity/power). SP29 defines the maximum
limit value for heating and DHW, SP30 only defines this value for the heating
and SP31 only defines it for DHW. The value is always entered in units of
'pulses per minute'. See the following examples of converting the limit value
for the flow volume or power to the 'Pulses per minute' variable.
Example 1:
The flow volume should be limited to 1.6 m³ / hour.
The flow sensor transmits a signal of 50 pulses / litre.
The following conversion: 1.6 m³ / hour = 1,600 litres / hour and 1600 litres /
hour = 26.67 litres / minute, and the flow sensor variable of 50 pulses / litre,
give a limit value that must be entered on the EQJW145 (SP29, SP30 or
SP31) of 26.67 litres / min x 50 pulses / litre = 1333 pulses / min.
Example 2:
The power in heating mode should be limited to 35kW. With simultaneous
heating operation and DHW heating, 50 kW should be allowed. A heat
quantity meter is available which outputs 1200 pulses / kWh.
The following conversion: 35 kW = 35 kWh / h and the given variable for the
heat quantity meter provide 35 kWh / h x 1200 pulses / kWh = 42,000 pulses
/ h. This gives a value that must be entered on the EQJW145 of 42,000
pulses / h = 42,000 : 60 pulses / min = 700 pulses / min. The second limit
value is 50 kW. The same conversion: (50 kWh / h x 1200 pulses / kWh x 1h
/ 60 min = 1000 pulses / min) gives a value of 1000 pulses / min that must be
entered in the EQJW145. In the EQJW145, a value of 1000 should be
assigned to SP29 and a value of 700 to SP30.
The EQJW145 switches automatically between the following two measuring
methods.
measurement of time interval (time interval measurement) between two
pulses and calculation of the 'pulses per minute' variable
measurement of the number of pulses per minute (pulse measurement) .
If the three set limit values (SP29 to SP31) are in the range 0.1 - 16.0, the
EQJW145 automatically switches over to time interval measurement. If a
value between 60 and 16.000 is entered for one of SERVice parameters
SP29 to SP31, the controller switches over automatically to pulse
measurement.
A limit value of between 16 and 60 pulses / minute cannot be entered
because the measurement accuracy required for control is no longer
available in this range. If a value in the range from 60 to 16,000 has been
entered for one of the limit values (SP29, SP30 or SP31), the other two
limit values must be in the range from 60 to 16,000 or must be disabled
(value of SERVice parameter = 'no'). Otherwise, there may be faulty
monitoring of the limit value leading to faulty control behaviour. During DHW
heating at increased DHW temperature, the limiting function is not enabled
so that protection against legionella can be enabled if required.
SP32
SP33
SP34
Intervention intensity in case of violation of maximum limit value for quantity
measurement
The flow temperature is reduced each minute by the value that was entered
for SP32 if the limit for quantity metering is violated. The flow temperature is
adapted 'continuously' (i.e. about once a second) to its value in this case. If
the value falls below the limit value for quantity measurement again, the flow
temperature is increased again at 1/5 of the set intervention intensity.
Limit value for minimum flow or power
This function is used to limit see page. It prevents a constant low flow if the
energy requirement is low. In this case, the mixer is closed and only opened
again if a control divergence of over 5 K occurs. The value is entered in
pulses / min.
To convert the limit value for flow or power into a value in units of pulses /
min, see the examples given with the explanations for SP29 to SP32.
Functions for DHW
The plant structure for control model MOD1, 2 (see SP06, control models)
can be extended by adding DHW preparation. SP34 must be set as per the
existing DHW preparation.
If the SERVice parameter has value 0, the DHW functions are not enabled
(except with MOD3).

Maximum permitted DHW temperature
This SERVice parameter is used to impose an upper limit on the temperature
for domestic hot water, which can be set with the lower rotary switch. If the
rotary knob used to set the values is turned further to the right (increase
values) although the upper limit value has already been reached, the display
will automatically show the lowest value, which is increased again.
Switching difference DHW
The tank charge is not started as soon as the target temperature for the
DHW is undercut, but when the switching difference that was set here (e.g.
5K) has been undercut. This prevents a fresh charge having to be carried out
shortly after a charge has finished.
Maximum permitted increased DHW temperature
This SERVice parameter is used to set an upper limit for the increased
temperature for domestic hot water, which can be set with the lower rotary
switch. If the rotary knob used to set the values is turned further to the right
(increase values) although the upper limit value has already been reached,
the display will automatically show the lowest value, which is increased
again.
SP38
SP39
SP40
Setpoint boost for domestic hot water
The heating temperature must be higher than the desired tank temperature
for the domestic hot water, otherwise minor temperature losses during
heating would mean that the tank heating never ends. This SERVice
parameter specifies the amount by which the heating temperature should
exceed the desired tank temperature + switching difference.
Outdoor temperature limit value for operation of domestic hot water heating
Depending on the outdoor temperature, the EQJW 145 determines whether
heating of the domestic hot water tank is carried out as a priority - i.e. the
heating medium pump is switched off during heating - or in parallel. If the
measured outdoor temperature is below the limit value set with the help of
SP39, parallel operation of heating and tank heating is implemented. If the
outdoor temperature is higher than this limit value, domestic hot water
heating is implemented with priority. If value –30°C is set for SP39, parallel
operation is generally disabled.
After-run time for charge pump for domestic hot water
After the desired tank temperature has been reached, the charge pump is not
switched off immediately. Instead, it continues running for a period that can
be set here (in minutes). In this way, for example, a flow temperature that is
too high for the heating circuit can be reduced. The after-run time for the
charge pump is interrupted prematurely if T
Slope of heating characteristic
The flow temperature is controlled according to the outdoor temperature. The
heating characteristic in the controller determines the setpoint for the flow
temperature in relation to a given outdoor temperature.

Setpoint boost for a demand requirement via the device bus
When heat from another device is requested via the device bus, SP42 can be
used to make the EQJW145 control to a setpoint that is higher by the amount
entered for SP42 (0K to 30K) than the amount actually requested by the
other device. This can improve control behaviour for cascaded controllers.
Extraneous heat portion
Continual incidence of extraneous heat (e.g. due to the presence of people,
loss of heat from machines) can be taken into account by the EQJW 145 and
compensated by a horizontal shift of the heating characteristic towards a
lower outdoor temperature.
Heating limit
If the outdoor temperature is higher than the heating limit, heating operation
is stopped, i.e. the EQJW 145 goes into summer mode. As soon as the value
falls back below the heating limit, heating operation is resumed and summer
mode is ended again. To avoid frequent status changes, a hysteresis of 1K is
taken into account in both cases.
The outdoor temperature required for this function can either be measured
with an outdoor temperature sensor or can be received via a connected
device bus. For this function, there is a choice between the current measured
outdoor temperature or the averaged outdoor temperature over the last 21
hours (see SP45 on this point).
Outdoor temperature recording for heating limit
You can select whether the EQJW 145 should use the current measured
outdoor temperature or the averaged outdoor temperature over the last 21
hours for the heating limit (see SP44). If the outdoor temperature averaged
over the last 21 hours is used, it is possible to prevent the influence of brief
fluctuations that cause the heating system to be switched on and off
frequently. If SP45 has value 0, the current outdoor temperature is used. If
SP45 has been assigned a value of 1, the averaged outdoor temperature is
used. The factory setting for SP45 is 1.
Design temperature
If the current outdoor temperature is lower than the design temperature, the
EQJW 145 heating controller no longer switches to reduced mode but
remains in normal mode instead.
After-run factor for heating medium pump
When heating mode ends, the heating medium pump is not switched off
immediately, but only after a delay that can be preset with SP47. For a valve
running time (SP19) of 120s, an after-run factor of 2 therefore means an
after-run time of 240 s = 4 minutes for the heating pump.
SP48
SP49
Anti-frost
The anti-frost function becomes active if the outdoor temperature falls below
the anti-frost limit (= +3°C). If the outdoor temperature rises above 4°C again,
the function is terminated. The flashing
symbol indicates that the anti-frost
function is active. There is a forced switch-on of the heating medium pump.
The setpoint for the flow temperature of the heating circuit is set at +10°C
unless it is already higher. The DHW temperature is monitored for a minimum
temperature of +5°C. If it falls below this value, the domestic hot water is
heated to +10°C. In addition, regardless of the outdoor temperature, the flow
temperature is monitored for a limit value of 5°C. If SP48=0, the function can
be disabled and the controller will no longer offer an anti-frost function in this
case!
Function of the configurable output
One of the output relays of the EQJW 145 can be used for various tasks.
SP49 specifies the use of the output. Depending on the value of SP49, the
output has the following functions:
0 = output has no function
1 = Pilot timer function
The output is controlled only in relation to the time programme that was
entered for the relay. This enables switching of any desired consumer
according to the time programme, independently of the heating. The relay
is opened if the normal operating mode has been set in the time
programme. For any other operating mode, the relay is closed.
2 = 2nd tank charge pump (only MOD1, 2)
The 2nd tank charge pump is switched on if the actual value for the flow
temperature is greater than the setpoint temperature for the DHW for start
of heating + setpoint boost DHW (see SP38).
The 2nd tank charge pump always runs on for the full after-run time (see
SP40), i.e. the break off criteria for the DHW charge pump do not apply
(see SP40).
3 = Forced control of the heating medium pump to low speed
The relay contact is closed as soon as the controller is in reduced or off
mode. This signal can be connected up to a pump speed controller so as
to reduce the pump speed in reduced or off mode.
4 = Collective alarm output
If a fault is present (error symbol is visible on the display), the relay is
switched on. The fault may also have occurred on another controller and
have been forwarded via the device bus (also see section 3.4 and
section 5)
5 = Circulating pump
SP50
SP51, SP52
If the lower rotary switch is set to
, the circulating pump is controlled
according to the switching commands entered for the relay. In switch
positions
or it is on regardless of the switch commands. During
normal DHW heating, the circulating pump is switched off. During DHW
heating with increased DHW temperature, the circulating pump stays
switched on. Once the DHW preparation is switched off (position
), the
circulating pump is also switched off. The output is included in the antifrost and pump anti-jamming functions.
The weekly switching programme for the configurable output (see Section
4.9) works only if the output has been configured as a pilot timer or for
activating a circulating pump. The weekly switching programme can be
viewed and edited regardless of how the output is configured.
Pump anti-jamming facility
If pumps have not been activated during the last 24 hours, they are switched
on briefly at noon. This reliably prevents them from jamming.
Summer/winter or winter/summer time changeover
Thanks to the calendar time switch integrated into the equitherm
EQJW 145,
the winter/summer time changeover and the summer/winter time changeover
are carried out automatically. The date for the changeovers is specified by
the values for SERVice parameters SP51 and SP52. A value of 16.02
corresponds to 16 February. If the date entered is a Sunday, the changeover
takes place on the same day. Otherwise, the changeover is performed on the
following Sunday. For the summer/winter time changeover, the time is put
back from 03:00 hours to 02:00 hours. The winter/summer time changeover
takes place at 02:00 hours. The time is put forward to 3:00 hours. If SERVice
parameters SP51 and SP52 have the same values, no summer/winter time
changeover is performed.
Optimisation
When the optimisation function (SP53 = 1) is enabled, it has the effect that
the selected room temperature is actually reached in normal mode at the
point in time that was set in the switching programme. The usage times
should therefore be set as they are actually needed. You should not set the
programme so that the controller has additional time to warm up – which
would, of course, make sense without the optimisation function. Optimisation
provides energy-optimised control by largely preventing unnecessarily high
room temperatures outside of the usage times.
The function can be used only in conjunction with a room-temperature
sensor. SP08 (room-temperature measurement) must be switched on, i.e.
have a value of either 1 or 2. The optimisation function moves the start of
heating to an earlier time, based on the current value for the room
temperature and the characteristic of both the building and the heating
system that was ascertained by the controller. The start of heating is moved
to the latest possible time in order to attain the desired temperature at the
time set in the switching programme. The start takes place a maximum of 8
hours before the relevant switching time. During the heating operation, the
maximum permissible flow temperature (SP22) is used. In so doing, the flow
temperature is raised not suddenly, but gradually.
Furthermore, the switch-off time for normal mode is also moved to an earlier
time (up to 1 hour earlier) if this is possible without significantly undercutting
the desired room temperature by the end of the normal mode as per the
switching programme.
In reduced mode, the room's target temperature is monitored and – if
undercut – a (brief) warm-up with maximum permissible flow temperature is
carried out until the target temperature has been exceeded by 1 K. There is
no long-term flow-temperature control as per the heating characteristic.
When the optimisation function is on, it is indicated by either the sun or the
moon symbol flashing.
So as not to interrupt the heating operation, the controller carries out a oneoff charge before the room heating starts – provided water heating is required
according to the switching programme.
The optimisation function always affects the change between reduced mode
and normal mode, or the change between off and normal modes. No
optimisation takes place when changing between off and reduced modes.
The controller needs a few warm-up operations (i.e. normally a few days)
until it has determined the building's characteristic. Only then has a
practically optimum temperature profile been attained. This could be impaired
by outside influences (open windows, sources of heat etc.).
When the optimisation function is switched off (SP53 = 0), the heating is also
switched off initially on changing from normal to reduced mode if the room
temperature is at least 2.5 K higher than the setpoint for reduced mode. Not
until the room temperature has fallen back to the setpoint does the heating
mode start again in accordance with the heating characteristic. If, due to
extraneous heat, the room temperature again rises by more than 2.5 K above
the setpoint, the heating switches off again.
SP60
Floor drying
The EQJW 145 has two floor-drying functions:
1. Functional heating in accordance with EN 1264 Part 4. This describes
how cement floors must be treated before floor coverings are laid.
Firstly, a flow temperature of 25°C must be maintained over 3 days for
this purpose. After this, the maximum flow temperature should be
maintained for 4 more days (i.e. a total of 7 days = 7 d). The controller
then works in normal heating mode in accordance with the settings
chosen.
2. Ready-for-laying heating
This involves starting with a flow-temperature setpoint of 25°C. The
flow-temperature setpoint is gradually increased by 5K a day until the
maximum flow temperature has been attained. The maximum flow
temperature is then maintained for 7 days, after which the flowtemperature setpoint is gradually reduced by 5K every day until a
temperature of 25°C has been reached. The function is then finished
and control is again effected in normal heating mode in accordance
with the chosen settings.
You can call both of these functions up with the help of SERVice
parameter SP60. To perform functional heating in accordance with EN
1264 Part 4, a value of 7d must be assigned to the parameter. To
perform ready-for-laying heating, the parameter should have a value
of 25°C assigned to it.
The EQJW 145 should be adapted to the installation before floor drying is
enabled. Parameter SP22 (maximum flow temperature) in particular should
first be set to an appropriate value for the floor and the heating circuit.
When the floor drying function is active, the flashing 'house' symbol is
displayed. An additional value appears in the display.
If functional heating is activated, the remaining time is shown, e.g. 7d = 7
days (at the start), counting down to 1d = 1 day.

EQJW145:
CAUTION!
Commissioning
Heating controller
If ready-for-laying heating is activated, the current phase appears:
1 = Initialisation
2 = Rising-temperature phase
3 = Temperature-maintenance phase,
4 = Falling-temperature phase
Once the floor drying has been successfully completed, the numerical value
of 9 appears. If the floor drying function was disrupted (due to a sensor
failure or a long-lasting high control offset etc.), value 8 is shown instead of 9
to signal the fault. In the case of functional heating in accordance with EN
1264 Part 4, control offset of more than 3K for more than 10 minutes is
considered to be too high. In the case of ready-for-laying heating, offset of
more than 5K for more than 30 minutes are considered to be excessive.
Values 8 and 9 can only be read. They cannot be assigned to the SERVice
parameter.
After floor drying has been completed, the EQJW 145 operates according to
the switch setting and the switching commands. Floor drying can be aborted
by setting parameter SP60 to 0. If the power supply fails, floor drying ceases.
When power is restored, the drying procedure restarts automatically.
3.4Communication level
In the communication level, a specialist can enable and configure the
communication functions of the EQJW 145.
Incorrect parameterisation (setting) of the heating controller
It can cause major faults or damage to the installation.
The communication level must only be enabled by a specialist.
3.4.5Explanations of individual communication parameters
CP01
CP02
CP03
CP04
Serial number
The serial number of the EQJW 145 is shown.
Type of communication
The type of communication can be set. You can choose from these options:
0 = no communication
1 = device bus
2 = MOD bus via RS485
3 = MOD bus via modem
4 = SMS via modem
5 = MOD bus and SMS via modem
Baud rate (BAUD)
Transmission speed between the BMS and the controller or (for modem
operation) transmission speed between controller and modem. Must match
the Baud rate for the BMS.
Device bus address
This is used for the unique identification of the controller within the device
bus. Each address must only be assigned once, and a device in the
controller grouping must have address 1.
CP05
CP06
CP07
CP08
Modbus address
This address is used to identify the controller for RS485 or modem operation.
Each address must occur only once within a system.
Modbus via modem: phone number of the control station
The telephone number of the BMS modem must be entered here, including
the dialling code or (for example) a 0 for extension systems. Short pauses
between the digits can be entered with P (= 1 second), and the end of the
number is identified by '–'. The phone number can comprise a maximum of
22 digits (including pauses).
SMS via modem: telephone number of the provider
The telephone number for the provider's SMS forwarding service must be
entered here, including the dialling code or (for example) a 0 for extension
systems. Short pauses between the digits can be entered with P (= 1
second), and the end of the number ifs identified by '–'. The phone number
can comprise a maximum of 22 digits (including pauses). When selecting the
provider, make sure that TAP (Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol) is used.
SMS via modem: telephone number of the mobile phone
The telephone number of the mobile phone must be entered here, including
the complete dialling code (e.g. 00 41 ...). The phone number can comprise a
maximum of 22 digits.
Device bus: time synchronisation
If CP 09 is set to 1, this controller sends time information on the device bus
every 24 hours. All devices with CP 09 set to 0 will evaluate this information
and set their clocks accordingly. Within a controller grouping, this function
should only be active on one controller, whose time will then be set on each
of the other controllers.
Regardless of CP09, the time for all controllers is corrected as soon as the
time is changed on one of the devices that are connected to each other via
device bus.
Device bus: send outdoor temperature
If CP 10 is set to 1, this controller sends the current outdoor temperature on
the device bus.
Device bus: receive outdoor temperature
If CP 11 is set to 1, the controller receives the outdoor temperature
information from the device bus and uses it instead of a measured value of
its own.
Device bus: send heat requirement
If CP 12 is set to 1, this controller sends its current flow temperature (TF)
setpoint on the device bus.
CP13
CP14
CP15
CP16
CP17
Device bus: receive heat requirement
If CP 13 is set to 1, the controller receives flow temperature requirement
requests from the device bus. The controller makes a maximum selection
between the flow temperature requirement requests of all the controllers
connected on the device bus and its own setpoint for the flow temperature,
and regulates the final control element to this temperature.
Device bus: send return temperature
If CP 14 is set to 1, this controller sends its current return temperature ((TRF)
measured value) to the device bus.
Device bus: receive return temperature
If CP 15 is set to 1, the controller receives the return temperature value from
the device bus and uses it instead of its own measured value.
Device bus: send error
If CP 16 is set to 1, the controller sends its current error status on the device
bus in the event of an error.
Device bus: receive error
If CP 17 is set to 1, the controller receives fault messages from other
devices. If configured to do so, these devices can then issue a fault message
(see also SP49: Collective alarm output).
Device bus: EDB 100 digital room operating unit
If an EDB100 digital room operating unit is to be used, CP18 must be set to
1.
If an EDB 100 digital room operating unit is used, the actual value for the
room temperature is evaluated by the EDB 100. The measured values of
other room operating units or room sensors (see SP08) are ignored.
Device bus: EDB 100 digital room operating unit
The address of the EDB 100 room operating unit assigned to the controller
must be set at CP19.
SMS or Modbus via modem: automatic configuration
If the type of communication (selected with parameter CP02) specifies that a
modem is used, parameter CP20 is automatically assigned a value of 1.
Otherwise, CP20 has a value of 0 as the factory setting. If parameter CP20
has value 1, the connected modem is configured automatically.
SMS or Modbus via modem: modem dialling pause
Time between two dialling attempts. A pause of several minutes must be
observed between calls so that the telecoms network is not continuously
under pressure.
CP22
CP23
CP24
CP25
SMS or Modbus via modem: modem timeout
In case of a connection via modem, the connection is terminated by the
controller if no data exchange has taken place after this time has elapsed.
SMS or Modbus via modem: number of dialling attempts
The dialling attempts via modem to the provider or the control station are
repeated, observing the dialling pause (CP21), if the line is busy or if it is
impossible to make a connection for any other reason. When the number of
dialling attempts set at CP 23 is reached, however, no further attempts are
made at first and the modem status is shown as 'OFF'. The dialling attempts
counter is automatically reset at 12:00 hours and then the dialling attempts to
the BMS are made again.
SMS or Modbus via modem: send message even if error is rectified
If CP24 is set to 1, dialling will also take place if the fault has been rectified
and the controller is operating without faults again.
SMS via modem: language for error messages
This parameter is used to select the language that is used to send an SMS.
The numbers have the following meanings: 0 = German. 1 = French.
2 = English. 3 = Italian. 4 = Spanish
CP26
Modbus via modem: disable fault dialling
If CP26 is set to 1, there are no dialling attempts via modem to the BMS if a
fault occurs.
Modbus via RS485 or Modbus via modem: control station commands expire
after the control station has been inactive for 30 minutes
When CP27 = 1: if the controller is no longer receiving any Modbus enquiries,
operating statuses specified via Modbus become invalid after 30 minutes and
the controller operates independently of the control station again. If
CP27 = 0, the operating statuses continue to have unlimited validity even
beyond these 30 minutes.
The top rotary switch is used to set the heating circuit. The five left-hand
positions of the top rotary switch (see 2.1 ) enable you to select one of the
following modes:

'empty' switching programme is interpreted as a switching programme in
normal mode. The switching commands are captive. You are recommended
to note any change to the calendar switching programme in the relevant table
in section 15.4. No commands are entered in the calendar switching
programme in the factory setting. The calendar switching programme does
not influence the switching programme for domestic hot water preparation or
the switching programme for the configurable output.

power/flow limitation (see SP29ff) functions are not enabled with an
increased DHW temperature.
If a circulating pump (see SP49) is present, it is switched on during the
thermal disinfection.
4.8Weekly switching programme for domestic hot water
The weekly switching programme repeats itself every week. It comprises a
maximum of 48 switching commands (6 for each day and another 6 for the

4.9Weekly switching programme for pilot timer/circulating pump
The weekly switching programme is repeated every week. It comprises up to
48 switching commands (six for each day and a further six for the whole
week) with the associated operating modes, which can be entered in a 10minute raster. The switching commands can be amended individually and are
captive. One switching command can be valid either daily (1-7) or on a
certain day of the week (Mon=1, Tue=2 etc.). If there is a switching command
on a certain day of the week (Mon, Tue etc.), then the daily switching
command (1-7) does not apply on that particular day. An 'empty' switching
programme is interpreted as a switching programme with the normal
operating mode.

It is advisable to record any changes made to the weekly switching
programmes in the relevant table in the section entitled 'Overview of
controller settings'.
Before the weekly switching programme can be called up, viewed or edited,
the user should carefully check that the upper rotary switch is in one of the
following positions (see 'Operating modes'):
Back-up mode
Reduced mode
Normal mode
Automatic mode
The weekly switching programme works only if the relevant output has been
configured as a pilot timer or for activating a circulating pump (see SP 49).
The weekly switching programme can be viewed and edited regardless of
how the output is configured.
As described in 'View switching command', proceed as follows:
e.g.:
1. Press knob.
•
Switching command is called up.
2. Turn knob.
3. Choose whether you want to delete (Clr) or
change (SEt) the switching command.
4. Press knob.
•
Selection is confirmed.
4.11Once-only tank charge
To carry out a once-only tank charge, the top rotary switch must be in one of
these positions (see 4.1).

... etc.
This position of the bottom rotary switch allows
you to initiate tank heating immediately. This
can happen if the domestic hot water (DHW)
preparation is currently switched off (by
1
x
switching commands), or if the tank
temperature has not dropped far enough for
regular tank heating to begin.
You must press the input knob to initiate tank
heating, which ends automatically after
reaching the tank setpoint temperature.
After completing a once-only tank charge, the last mode set for DHW control
is valid again.
In manual mode, the system can be controlled by hand during installation or
in case of an incident. There is no control in manual mode. The output relays
are opened or closed. The valve is opened or closed according to the
specified values. Before you can work in manual mode, this mode must be
enabled in SERVice mode (see 5.1).
By selecting the switch position for one of the two rotary switches, the mixer
first retains its current position and the heating medium pump is switched on.
The current statuses for the controller outputs (pump on, final control element
open, final control element closed etc.) are shown on the lower edge of the
display (as also happens in other cases - see 2).

The EQJW 145 has a communication interface which can be used for the
device bus, or alternatively for Modbus communication – also via modem.
Fault messages can still be sent by modem to a mobile phone as SMS
messages.
6.1Bus wiring
The rules for RS-485 bus systems must be followed when setting up
communication networks. The following points must be noted in particular:
Maximum length of one bus segment: 1,200 m
Maximum number of devices: 32
A final resistance (120 Ohm) must be provided at the end of the line
Use twisted pair screened cable
Stub cables in excess of 3 m in length are not allowed
Screens must be applied flat on both sides, according to the rules of
engineering, and must be connected to earth with low resistance
External lightning and surge voltage precautions must be provided if
cables are laid beyond the boundaries of the building
It is not necessary to keep to a specific polarity (cores A/B) with the EQJW
145.
6.2Device bus
The device bus makes it possible to interconnect as many as 32 devices with
little outlay. It is primarily used to transmit measured temperature values
(outdoor temperature and room temperature) and commands (mode
changeover). Connecting the devices only requires two wires which are
attached to the terminals regardless of polarity – to terminals 18 and 19 on
the EQJW 145.
6.2.1Assigning addresses
Every device in the grouping must be assigned a unique bus address.
Address '1' must occur once in each grouping. To enable the device bus,
parameter CP02 must be set to '1'. Then the address has to be set
(parameter CP04).
If a device in an installation that is in operation is exchanged and the
addresses used are not known, the 'Automatic address assignment' function
can be used (CP04 =
A u t o ). This causes the controller to search the bus
for an unused address which it sets as parameter CP04.
Please note these points about automatic address assignment:
All the other devices in the installation must be switched on.
Only one device must execute the function at a time.

functions
6.2.2Room operating unit EDB 100
Using the EDB 100 room operating unit, the setpoint temperatures can be
adjusted, various measured values can be interrogated and the mode can be
switched over. These functions can be carried out from the living room. To
connect room operating unit EDB 100 to the EQJW 145 the two device bus
terminals of the room operating unit must be connected to terminals Data1
and Data2 of the controller. The polarity is irrelevant here. The room
operating unit needs a power supply of its own.
On the EQJW 145, parameter CP18 must be set to '1' so that the room
operating unit can be used. The address of the room operating unit must be
set at parameter CP19.
6.2.3Sending and receiving outdoor temperatures
Controllers which have an outdoor temperature sensor can be configured so
that they make the measured outdoor temperature value available to other
controllers via the device bus. This allows weather-compensated control
even in installations with no outdoor temperature sensors of their own.
To send an outdoor temperature, set parameter CP10 to '1' and to receive
one, set parameter CP11 to '1'.
6.2.4Requesting and processing a heat requirement
One or more controllers can be connected downstream in a controller
grouping. You can use parameter CP12 to send the required flow
temperatures for the various downstream control circuits to the controller for
the primary circuit. If CP13 is set to '1' on the controller for the primary circuit,
these data will be received. The controller will then control the highest flow
temperature sent to it in the primary circuit.
6.2.5Requesting and processing a return temperature
Parameter CP14 can be used to measure the current return temperature
(TRF) of a controller and to send it to other controllers. On the controllers that
should receive the data, CP15 is set to '1'.
6.2.6Synchronising the time
If several controllers are interconnected, their times should be synchronised.
For this purpose, CP09 is set to '1' on one of the controllers. Then, this
controller sends its system time to the device bus once every 24 hours. This
time is adopted by the other controllers. Regardless of the setting for
communication parameter CP09, if the time is adjusted on one of the
interconnected controllers, it will be adopted by the others.
The EQJW 145 can respond to enquiries in the Modbus RTU protocol as a
slave. For this purpose, an RS-485 two-wire bus is connected to terminals 18
and 19. A suitable Modbus master (BMS centre) can send enquiries or
commands via this bus. Up to 247 devices can be addressed in a
communication network based on the Modbus RTU protocol via an RS485
interface. Up to 32 devices can be connected within a bus segment.
To enable the function, CP02 must be set to 2 (see Section 3.2.4). A unique
address must be assigned at CP05 and the transmission speed (Baud rate)
must be selected with CP03. The data format supported by the controller is
8n1, i.e. the data format comprises 8 data bits, no parity bits and one stop bit.
The following commands are supported:
Read Coil:
AA 01 XX XX 00 01 CC CC
-- -- ----- ----- ----- Coils =
Adr RC CoilNr Coils CRC Number of coils to be read
Response:
AA 01 01 YY CC CC

Current measured values and operating statuses (for example) can be read
out via Modbus. The controller outputs can be switched. The list of the
available data points is given in the Annexe, Section 6.3.1.
If desired, the controller will monitor the activity of the Modbus interface. As
long as valid Modbus enquiries are registered regularly, the controller will reset
the time monitoring. If no more enquiries are directed to the controller for 30
minutes, it will operate independently again. Changes to the controller outputs
triggered via Modbus then become invalid. This function can be disabled with
CP27.
-Frame' protocol extension.
Enquiries in standard format are answered in standard format, and frame
enquiries receive an answer in frame format. This format allows reliable data
transmission even if the data are segmented during transmission. For Modbus
communication via modem, it is advisable to use the frame format because
precisely timed data transmission from the sender to the recipient is often not
available with modern transmission methods (modem with compression and
error correction functions, digital telephone network). Details about the protocol
extension are available on request.
For the other control loops or the program for the pilot timer/circulation pump,
the same logic applies, but the register numbers are 100 higher in each case.
Every possible switching command has its own holding register (a 16-bit
value) that can be read or written. For the contents of the register, the
following applies:
To change the factory setting for the first switching command (nominal mode,
every day from 6:00 hrs) to 7:30 hrs, you have to write a value of 30730
(instead of the current 30600) in register 42042.
Read and write calendar programme of switching commands via
Modbus
The 20 holding registers from 42500 to 42519 contain the 20 possible
switching commands for the calendar switching programme. For the contents
of the register, the following applies:
Important notes on the weekly and calendar switching programs:
All the registers for unused switching commands should contain the
value 0.
The switching commands should be entered in the chronological order of
time/date. The first command of a day/year should, therefore, be under
'Command1'.

When a function of the controller is specified via Modbus (e.g. status of the

01
UP output), the associated level bit (as it is called, designated as EBN) is
deleted on the controller. The controller no longer controls the respective
function itself in this case. When Modbus communication has finished (e.g.
modem link disconnected), these level bits are set again after a timeout
period of 30 minutes (unless this timeout function was disabled in CP27).
From then on, the controller resumes control of all functions.
6.4Modem operation
A modem of type KT DataMod10 can be connected to the communication
interface. This modem can be used for Modbus communication with a control
station, or to send error messages via SMS. In both cases, the controller can
build up a connection automatically if a fault occurs.
The two functions can be combined. In this case, an error is signalled via
SMS and via Modbus.
6.4.1Connection with the modem
A special connection line
used to connect with the modem on terminals 18 to 21 of the controller base.
For this purpose, the end of the line is plugged into the controller base
terminals with the pins in such a way that the screws are visible. Then tighten
the four screws in question on the controller base.
6.4.2Modbus operation via modem
CP02 must be set to 3 or 5. In Modbus mode, the controller accepts calls
from a control station to the modem. In the event of an error, the control
station is called on the telephone number entered at CP06.
In the case of a modem connection, before executing write commands via
Modbus, the valid code number (123) must be written to Modbus register
40145. Otherwise, only read commands will be processed. This is used to
prove the legitimation of the control system. If an incorrect code number is
entered three times via Modbus, this is recorded as a prohibited access
attempt. As a result, an error bit is set and the control station is dialled by the
controller.

The line between the controller and the modem must not be longer than 1.5 m for reasons related to EMC

6.4.3Sending SMS if there is a fault on the installation
A modem enables the controller to send an error message to a mobile
phone. As soon as a fault is registered in the device status register of the
controller, an SMS message is sent. This requires modem access from a
provider (SMSC = Short Message Service Center) which accepts SMS
messages in TAP protocol. The message on the display of the mobile phone
will then read something like this:
'Heating controller EQJW 145/device status: [XXXX]/Note: 0 = no error. >0 =
error has occurred'
The value shown for the device status corresponds to the value of SERVice
parameter SP02. The error that has occurred is stored in this value in
encoded form (see Section 7.1.2). The SMS Center usually sends the date,
time and sender's telephone number for this message.

Access numbers
for SMSC:

O2 Germany: 0179 7673425
E-PLUS Germany: 0177 1167
Cellnet (GB)0044 7860980480
To enable the function, CP02 must be set to 4 (or 5) and the telephone
numbers of the provider (SMSC) and the mobile phone must be entered at
CP07 and CP08 (see Section 3.2).
6.4.4Displays for modem operation
When modem operation is enabled, an additional item appears in the display
loop to show the current modem status. The following displays may appear

Modem is being initialised
There is a connection to the provider or the
control station
Using an additional USB adaptor and the Config-equitherm software, the
EQJW 145 can be configured and parameterised using a PC. To do so, the
adaptor on the EQJW 145 should be connected to the terminals for the
Modbus communication.
Communication type Modbus RTU (CP02 = 2) is set ex works. However, the
address 255 has been set instead of a valid Modbus address in the range
1 - 247. This makes it possible to communicate with the controller using the
EQJW 145 via the Config-equitherm software, without having to set any
communication parameters on the EQJW 145 beforehand.
The connection is being disconnected
It was impossible to reach the provider or the
control station with the permitted number of
dialling attempts (new dialling attempts will be
made on the next day)
It is not possible to communicate with non-configured controllers if several
controllers that have not yet been configured are connected to a network. In
such cases, all except one of the controllers that have not yet been
configured have to be switched off first.
Before you call a heating specialist, check: electrical fuses, main installation
switch, burner function, heat medium pump, valve, fault display, time and day
of the week for the EQJW 145.
7.1Displaying faults
An operating fault is shown on the display by the flashing fault symbol (see
section 2.5). The 'Error' message is shown. Push the input knob to open the
error level. In some cases, you can poll to check for multiple faults by turning
the input knob. As long as an acute operating fault is present, the error
message is kept in the display loop, even if it is not opened by pushing the
input knob. The error is shown in the error level according to the list below.
In the first three minutes after you switch the controller on, evaluation and
display of faults is suppressed to wait until other parts of the installation are
switched on.
7.1.1Error list

Tab. 10: Error list
7.1.2Device status
The device status register contains the information on faults that are present
according to the error list, in coded form. The register can be read with the
help of the service parameters, the communication parameters or via the
Modbus. If a fault message is sent via SMS or Modbus, the fault is notified in
the form of the device status.
The value shown as the device status is the total of the codings for the
existing errors.
Example: error on TF andTR (Err1 and Err3) results in error value 5 for the
device status.
Err11
Err34
Total (= device status):5
7.2Logbook
Malfunctions, control offsets and limit violations of flow/output are entered in
the logbook. The following applies:
Control offsets are entered whenever the actual value deviates by more
than 10K for at least 30 minutes
Limit violations are entered whenever the pulse rate remains more than
10% too high for at least 30 minutes
To view the logbook entries, select parameter SP03 in the SERVice level (see
Chapter 3.3).
The entries can be called up as follows. When SP03 is called up, the year in
which the last entry was recorded is shown. Turn the knob to view the years
in which at lease one entry was made. Press the knob to get to the next level,
which shows the days (DD.MM) of the relevant year on which an entry was
made. Press the knob to select a day and show the times (HH:MM) at which
entries were made on the relevant day were made.
Press the knob to view the device status (for coding, see Chapter 7.1.2) or
the control offset or the limit violation. Press the ESC key to move back one
level, or several times to leave the SP03 level.
The same symbols are used for the control offset or the limit violations that
are also used in the normal display of the measured values (radiators etc.).
By turning the knob, you can change between the display of the recorded
setpoint and the excessively-deviating actual value. If the flow rate is too
high, it is displayed as a percentage.
A repeated fault is entered afresh only if it no longer existed in the meantime.
The logbook can hold a total of 100 entries. When this number has been
reached, the oldest entries are overwritten (circular buffer).
7.3Reset functions
It is possible to reset the EQJW 145 to the factory setting. To do this, go to
the SERVice level (see section 3.1.1) and set parameter SP04 to:
1Reset SERVice and communication parameters
2Reset switching commands
3Reset SERVice and communication parameters and switching
commands
7.4Actions to deal with faulty temperature value measurements
The 'Sensor fault' symbol (see 2.1) appears if there is a short-circuit or an
interruption in sensor supply lines. The following list states how the controller
behaves if individual sensors fail.
Sensor failure T

If the outdoor sensor is faulty, a flow temperature setpoint of 50°C is
operated, or if the maximum flow temperature (set at parameter SP22) is less
than 50°C, the maximum flow temperature is operated.

W1
If the domestic hot water tank sensor is faulty, no further DWH heating will be
performed.
The EQJW 145 controller is used for weather-compensated flow temperature
control of a heating circuit. An additional room temperature connection is
possible. The controller changes the operating status in accordance with the
switching commands that are entered, on a time-dependent basis. In
addition, hot water preparation can be controlled.
It has an anti-frost function, an automatic summer time changeover, an antijamming feature for the pump and a floor drying function. A communication
interface allows connections with other devices and with a Modbus control
station (also via modem), or automatic transmission of fault messages to a
mobile phone as SMS messages via modem. Two rotary switches allow
immediate mode changes and direct access to the main settings. An input
knob makes it easy to change the device's settings.
This application requires an additional safety thermostat.
Before the installation is commissioned, the slope of the characteristic and
the flow temperature limit must always be checked.
Depending on the application, the following settings are recommended:
flow temperature limitSERVice-Parameter SP22Value 50°C
The recommended values have been tried and tested but they are not
necessarily the ideal solutions for every installation. No liability is accepted
for the values indicated here
Some typical and common applications for the control models stored in the
EQJW 145 are described below. However, not all of the heating controller's
capabilities are described. By parameterising accordingly, further applications
can be included, enabling the equitherm
EQJW 145 to be adapted to a wide
range of installations.

Heating is by far the largest consumer of energy in the household. 78 % of
the energy required in a household is consumed by the heating (source:
'Wohnen & Energie Sparen/Living and Saving Energy'. BINE Information
Service of the Karlsruhe Technical Information Centre. July 2004). It is
precisely here that major savings are possible. Most residents underestimate the potential for saving on heating and over-estimate the potential
for saving on other consumers.
Better insulation could save almost half of the heating energy. Savings are
also possible thanks to modern heating installations with intelligent control. A
reduction of 3°C at night with the heating controller saves about 5 to 8 % of
the heating energy. A constant bedroom temperature of 18°C with a reduced
night-time temperature in the living rooms saves about 12 to 15 %. A
constant bedroom temperature of 16°C with a reduction of 3°C in the living
rooms during absences and at night will save about 25 %.
Bring the time when reduced mode starts as far forward as possible. Each
degree by which the normal temperature is reduced will save about 6% of
heating costs. Only ventilate briefly, but powerfully. Close shutters and blinds
at night. Keep heaters clear, i.e. do not place any furniture or curtains in front
of the heaters, etc.
The temperature sensors required depending on the use of the EQJW 125
must conform to DIN 43760.

The anti-frost function cuts in if a control circuit is in OFF mode and the antifrost function was enabled in SERVice level. In addition, the anti-frost limit
must have been undercut. The anti-frost limit is 3°C for the outdoor
temperature. The anti-frost function is disabled if the outdoor temperature is
higher than 4°C. When the anti-frost function cuts in, a flow temperature of
10°C is controlled for the heating circuits. If the DHW temperature < 5°C,
heating to 10°C takes place.
The pump anti-jamming facility function is enabled in SERVice level. At 00:00
hours every day, a pump is switched on for 60 seconds if it was not operated
during the preceding 24 hours. This function is active in all modes except
manual mode.
One of the output relays (terminal 10) can be parameterised for a very wide
variety of functions. This enables the output to be used as a pilot timer
output, a collective fault alarm, to control a 2nd tank charge pump, a
circulating pump or for forced control of the heating medium pump.

The maximum and minimum setpoints for the flow temperature are limited. If
the calculation for the setpoint for the flow temperature is outside of the limit,
then the limit temperature is controlled. The limit value is set in SERVice
level. In manual mode, flow temperature control is not enabled and so there
is no flow temperature limit. If the anti-frost function is active, the flow
temperature limit is disabled.
The maximum setpoint for T
W can be limited in SERVice level.
The weekly switching programme can be used to increase TW at regular
intervals. If a higher T
W is required for a longer period independently of the
switching programme, a separate switch is available.
RF can be monitored for the maximum actual value. If the temperature
T
exceeds a limit for the actual value of T
RF, the setpoint for TF is reduced. For
the heating circuit, a limitation characteristic dependent on the outdoor
temperature (fixed value-sequence-fixed value) can be defined, and a fixed
limit value can be defined for the DHW preparation. The limitation function or
the limit value and the influence on the setpoint for T
The maximum flow or the maximum power can be limited. Limit values can
be specified for the heating, DHW preparation and the combination of heating
and DHW preparation. If the limit value is exceeded the flow temperature is
reduced. The limit values and intervention intensity when the limit is
exceeded are parameterised in the SERVice level.
The minimum flow can be limited. To do so, you can use a pulse signal from
a flow measuring device or the signal from the auxiliary contacts of a control
unit. When the function is activated, the valve on the primary side closes and
does not open again until the setpoint for TF is 5K higher than the actual
value.
In manual mode, the relays for the various outputs can be activated
separately. The setting for this is menu-led if manual mode has been
enabled, which is done in the SERVice level. The factory setting for manual
mode is ‘not enabled’.
With the automatic cut-off facility, the heating controller saves energy without
any loss of comfort levels, wherever possible. There are several ways of
having a heating circuit switched off by the heating controller:
Optimisation of
switching times
Floor drying
a) The current mode for the heating circuit is OFF
b) Summer/winter heating limit is OFF
c) TA TRs (when T
TRs– 1K, controller switches back on).

The optimisation function causes the heating to be switched on/off at the
optimum time in automatic mode when changing from reduced or back-up
mode into normal mode. The switching times are chosen so that the room
temperature's setpoint is reached at the time that is set in the switching
programme. At the same time, energy is saved by switching on as late as
possible and off as early as possible.
EN 1264 Part 4 describes how cement floors must be treated before floor
coverings are laid with functional heating. Firstly, a flow temperature of 25°C
must be maintained over 3 days for this purpose. After this, the maximum
flow temperature should be maintained for 4 more days. This function has
been implemented in the EQJW 145. In addition, there is now a ready-forlaying heating function. This involves raising the flow temperature gradually
by 5K per day, starting from 25°C, until the maximum flow temperature is
reached. Thereafter, the flow temperature is reduced again gradually by 5K
per day until 25°C is reached. You can call the functions up via the SERVice
level.
3 weekly switching programmes with up to 48 switching commands and one
calendar switching programme with up to 20 switching commands are
available. The minimum switching interval is 10 minutes or 1 day. Modes
from weekly and calendar switching programmes with lower energy
consumption take priority. The commands for the calendar switching
programme are retained.

The outdoor temperature is recorded by an EQJW 145 and is made available
to the remaining controllers as a measured value via the device bus.
Parameterisation for this purpose is performed in communication level.
Communication with the EQJW 145 is possible via the RS 485 interface with
the help of the Modbus RTU protocol. Data can be exchanged. The EQJW
145 is always used as a slave in this case.
A modem is used to send alarm texts to a mobile telephone as SMS, via a
provider. An interface similar to an RS 232 is used for this purpose. The TAP
(Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol) is used.
