Heating settings

About Heating Settings:

The heating settings are a type of zone settings, see: Zone settings – ArcSett. The heating settings allow you to make amendments to the energy savings strategies, and temperature controls for each separate heating zone.

Navigation: 

To navigate to the Heating Settings screen:

1. Log in to the panel using your 6-digit PIN
2. Click the navigation logo in the top left hand corner of the panel
3. Select Settings from the drop down menu
4. Select the Zone Settings option

Understanding the Heating Settings: 

When accessing the zone settings for heating zone, you will see a screen like the below:

Once selecting a dropdown you will see the settings related to that section : 

This is the view for someone with Site Manager permissions. 

Note: Every item has a "?" icon that when selected will give the descriptions in order to understand what each setting controls. 

For a full explanation of each item in the settings, see the table below: 

Setting	Description	Site Managers	Managers
Fallback	This is the lowest temperature that can be reached before heating activates when "outside of a shift", providing frost protection/production protection for the site.	Y	Y
Max Fallback Temp	This is the maximum value for the fallback temperature.	Y	N
Min Fallback Temp	This is the minimum value for the fallback temperature.	Y	N
Control Modifier	This is the mode of operation for the equipment. It provides the primary objective for the equipment behaviour.	Y	Y
Cooling Difference	This is the temperature difference between target temperature and actual temperature at which cooling activates.	Y	Y
Max Day Temp	Maximum target temperature that can be set for a day pattern shift.	Y	N
Min Day Temp	Minimum target temperature that can be set for a day pattern shift.	Y	N
Max Override On Time	Maximum amount of time that this zone can be overridden ON from the browse screen.	Y	N
Max Override Off Time	Maximum amount of time that this zone can be overridden OFF from the browse screen.	Y	N
Max Override Temp	Maximum temperature at which this zone can be overridden ON at from the browse screen.	Y	N
Max Preheat Time	Maximum amount of time that this zone will preheat, even if the self-learning algorithm calculates a longer amount of time is needed.	Y	N
Stop Mode Active	If stop mode is active, then if it gets warm enough outside, the internal target temperature will be adjusted inside, using the logic that the temperature is warm enough outside to maintain a reasonable temperature inside.	Y	N
Stop Mode Target Temp	The new internal target temperature when Stop Mode becomes active.	Y	N
External Trigger Temp	The external temperature at which stop mode becomes active.	Y	N
Compensation Strategy	In future, we hope to have more compensation strategies available. For now, this is the first step to switching stop mode on.	Y	N
Learning Active	If learning is active, then the self-learning algorithm will continuous recalculate preheat times in line with recorded temperature information to ensure that the preheat time is as accurate as possible.	Y	N
Max Number of Shifts Used	The maximum number of shifts in a single day pattern for this zone.	Y	Y
Optimum ON	Switching on preheat using the self-learning algorithm.	Y	N
Rate of rise	The number of minutes between each time increment at which the target temperature increases during the preheat period.	Y	N
Optimum OFF	Another energy saving strategy which ramps down the target temperature at the end of a shift. 45 mins before shift end the target goes down by 0.5 degrees, 30 mins before shift end the target goes down by 1 degrees, 15 mins before shift end the target goes down by 3 degrees.	Y	N
