Which sources to enable at any given time depends on the following factors:
For each source it is necessary to specify which Working mode is enabled: summer only, winter only, both;
For each source it is possible to specify with which Priority it is requested to work in winter and in summer (see SOURCES PRIORITY);
For each source it is possible to specify a Source sensor, its calibration and its use (by activation or by enablingto control enabling or activation). In this way it is possible, for example, to detect the temperature of a tank and to decide, on the basis of that temperature, whether or not to activate a certain source;
For each source it is possible to define a digital input (Enable Signal) that indicates its “availability/enabling”; if it is defined, when the input is active the source is considered available, while when it is not active, the source is considered unavailable and therefore disabled (if the signal is not defined, the system considers the source as always available);
For each source it is possible to define a digital input (Block/alarm Signal); if it is defined when the input is active the source is disabled and it generates an alarm (if the signal is not defined the system considers the source as always enable):
For each source it is possible to specify some range on the outdoor temperature that enable its operation; ranges are specified independently between summer and winter working mode; when the outdoor temperature is outside the specified ranges, the source is disabled (if the outdoor probe is not configured the system considers the source as always enable).

Warning
Do not use the Auxiliary sensor!

If it is used to control Enabling, besides the above points being true (the source must be in the season and outdoor temperature ranges in which it is enabled, it must have the correct priority, the enable signal if present must be entered and the block signal not entered), the sensor used must be in the water set point range set in the "Set point Control" section (in the case below in the range 20-55°C):PHOTO TBD
...
The source will be enabled as long as the sensor is > the minimum set - delta (in the example 20°C - 5°C, so up to 15°C) and as long as it is < the maximum set + hysteresis (in the example 55°C + 5°C, so up to 60°C).
...
If it is used to control Activation, the source must still be enabled, otherwise it will never be activated (the source must be in the season and outside temperature range in which it is enabled, it must have the correct priority, the enable signal if present must be entered and the block signal not entered), but its activation or deactivation depends only on the set point being reached.PHOTO TBD
...
Activation and deactivation of the source are linked only to the set point arriving from the circuits (the highest in winter and the lowest in summer, including offsets). If the set point was higher than the maximum or lower than the minimum, it would be cut off, so if a set point of 70°C arrives from the circuits, a maximum of 55°C is set to the source.
So, assuming a set point of 55°C36°C, the source will activate if the sensor < 55°C 36°C and deactivate when the sensor > set point + hysteresis (so 51°C39°C).
The source will always remain enabled regardless of the temperatures reached by the sensor. In the above case, even if the sensor is at 14°C30°C, the source is always enabled.
The auxiliary activation output, on the other hand, is activated if the sensor < set point – delta (so in the case under consideration below 52°C 31°C = 55°C 36°C -3 5 °C) and is deactivated when the sensor > set point – delta (so in the case above 52°C31°C).
Attivazione e Abilitazione senza Sensore Associato
Se non c'è un sensore associato, nel momento in cui un circuito chiama la sorgente (ammesso di avere la sorgente nella stagione e nel range di temperatura esterna in cui è abilitata, avere la priorità corretta, il segnale di abilitazione se presente inserito e il segnale di blocco non inserito) allora la sorgente risulterà abilitata e attiva senza distinzioni. Anche l’uscita attivazione ausiliaria sarà sempre attiva.
STATO DELLA SORGENTE
Nell’ultima sezione in basso di ciascuna sorgente è riportato un riepilogo che a colpo d’occhio permette di capire se la sorgente è abilitata, attiva, in raffrescamento e se le temperature esterne e dell’acqua sono nei range di abilitazione della sorgente:
PHOTO TBD
Vi è anche un confronto tra la temperatura desiderata che arriva dai circuiti (set point) e la temperatura del sensore utilizzato, se presente (Temperatura Attuale).
La velocità attuale corrisponde al set point che verrebbe inviato alla sorgente se fosse collegata un’uscita 0/10V di set point.
...
Activation and Enabling without Associated Sensor
If there is no associated sensor, when a circuit requests the source (assuming the source is in the season and outdoor temperature range in which it is enabled, it has the correct priority, the enable signal if present is entered, and the block signal is not entered) then the source will be enabled and active without distinction. The auxiliary activation output will also always be active.
SOURCE STATUS
In the last section at the bottom of each source there is a summary which at a glance shows whether the source is enabled, active, in cooling mode and whether the external and water temperatures are within the source’s enabling ranges:
...
There is also a comparison between the desired temperature coming from the circuits (set point) and the temperature of the sensor used, if present (Actual Temperature).
The Actual Output corresponds to the set point that would be sent to the source if a 0/10V set point output were connected.
