    I warmly welcome,

    I replaced the boiler Termet Mini Max for Junkers Cerapur Midi ZWB 24-1 AR , I connected to it a room regulator from the previous one and it works correctly as with the previous boiler.
    Junkers Cerapur Midi has one more cube of 2 veins with a thermometer sticker, similar to a weather sensor (regulation of the maximum CH water temperature).
    I have a question for you, is it enough to connect to this cube? Weather sensor for PROND controllers you can buy it on the Allegro for PLN 40.
    No expense compared to other solutions, but will it even work with this furnace?

    Junkers Cerapur Midi ZWB 24-1 AR: Connecting PROND Weather Sensor Compatibility & Installation
    Prond weather sensor is a device used to regulate the boiler temperature, taking into account the outside temperature. For example, when the outdoor temperature drops, the controller increases the boiler temperature. When the outdoor temperature increases, the regulator lowers the boiler temperature to previously set values. At this auction you will buy a sensor with a 10-meter cable. It can be connected to the controller located next to the furnace (e.g. Titanic or other Prond controllers equipped with the possibility of connecting a weather sensor). The temperature is set on the regulator next to the boiler, which controls the sensor located outside the building.

    Midi has so-called simple weather. After connecting the external sensor, the boiler regulates the water temperature of the central heating system in relation to the external temperature. The test method must be selected heating curve and that's it.
    A Junkers thermostat is not required.

    Don't you screw me up sometimes?
    The room regulator can be anything that short-circuits and opens the wires, if open, the stove will only turn on with the anti-freeze program. that's why every stove without a room regulator has a jumper on to start heating and cuts it off with overheating of water such L-3 (my stove is L-3 adjustable from 1 to maybe 9 minutes or even 15 I don't have instructions on hand)
    It follows that the output to a thermometer in this furnace is independent of the room regulator, moreover, it is even a separate cube in a different place.
    (I don't know if it is a controlled voltage, resistance or short circuit, but it is the third one that falls off.)
    The furnace also has the function of cooperating with solariums but I can only see that the adjustable delay in firing the burner on demand for CW.

    At the time I was changing, there was no compact yet. Quick verification on the junkers site clearly says that he has built-in weatherclock as well as midi.

    Cerapur Midi will work with ON / OFF room thermostats.
    It has NO built-in simple weather and connecting an external sensor will not do anything.

    Actually.
    @bluegin I was wrong. I hope you haven't bought the sensor yet.

    Unfortunately, I have already bought it, maybe I will do something with 10 meters of cable and a sensor built into a waterproof forest

    The sensor has arrived
    I did the test, the sensor can be measured resistance with a multimeter behaves like a diode in one direction does not conduct in the other no.
    the cube from the oven hangs on two wires and has a house sticker with a thermometer on the outside.
    This cube has a voltage of 3.15V after connecting the sensor to one side (poles), nothing happens.
    When connected the other way, the voltage on the cube drops to 0.56V.
    After throwing into the fridge the drawer of the -16 deg. C sensor freezer on the cube voltage is 0.60V
    as the sensor heats up to 21 ° C, the voltage drops to 0.56V again

    The boiler was set at 60 degrees C.
    On the boiler itself, I did not notice any changes, the temperature on the boiler did not rise or fall.
    the room regulator was still in heating mode (I put it on the windowsill and opened the window)

    Well maybe it doesn't work or I don't do something right.

    As colleague 12B wrote, the output is inactive (there is no weather) for the Midi ZWB24-1AR boiler, you can only use a simple on-off regulator. Do not try because you will expose the disc to damage.

    there are more functions in the service menu 2 than in the manual.
    while in menu 1, e.g. there is no automatic venting function, the manual does not have a menu.
    this week a neighbor installed such a boiler I will compare the instructions ;)
    but with this weather it is a fake ... I just wonder this tension on the ankle from the weather

    I have a question. Which wireless room regulator will work with this furnace?
    I am asking because I have already returned one that I bought on the Internet. It is true that the regulator connected to the control panel but did not turn off the stove.

    Every on / ode controller will work with MIDI ceramics
    Salus, Euroster, Auroton, Tech etc.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the compatibility and installation of a PROND weather sensor with the Junkers Cerapur Midi ZWB 24-1 AR boiler. Users clarify that the weather sensor must be from Junkers, as third-party sensors will not function. The Cerapur Midi model is noted to have a simple weather control feature, allowing it to adjust the central heating water temperature based on external conditions, but it does not require a specific Junkers thermostat. Users emphasize that the external sensor connection does not affect the boiler's operation, and only ON/OFF room thermostats are compatible. One user tested a purchased sensor, finding it ineffective with the boiler, confirming that the output for weather control is inactive for this model. Recommendations for compatible wireless room regulators include brands like Salus, Euroster, Auroton, and Tech.

FAQ

TL;DR: For the Junkers Cerapur Midi ZWB 24-1 AR, PROND outdoor-sensor compatibility is 0%. “It has NO built-in simple weather.” Use an ON/OFF room thermostat instead. [Elektroda, 12B, post #16779189]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps owners avoid wasted purchases and board damage while choosing a working thermostat setup for the ZWB 24-1 AR.

Quick Facts

Will a PROND outdoor sensor work with Junkers Cerapur Midi ZWB 24-1 AR?

No. The ZWB 24-1 AR lacks built‑in weather compensation. Connecting an external PROND sensor will not influence boiler control. “It has NO built-in simple weather.” [Elektroda, 12B, post #16779189]

Does the ZWB 24-1 AR support weather-compensation control at all?

No. The weather function is not implemented on this model, even though a two‑pin header exists. The boiler regulates CH temperature without outdoor input. [Elektroda, 12B, post #16779189]

Which room thermostats are compatible with the Cerapur Midi?

Use any ON/OFF (volt-free) room thermostat or wireless set with a dry contact. Community examples include Salus, Euroster, Auraton, and Tech. [Elektroda, krzyzak11, post #17431349]

Do I need an original Junkers room thermostat for basic heating?

No. For this boiler, an ON/OFF thermostat is sufficient. Proprietary bus thermostats or Junkers-branded weather add-ons are not required. [Elektroda, 12B, post #16779189]

What is an ON/OFF thermostat?

An ON/OFF thermostat is a simple controller that closes or opens a dry contact to call for heat. The Midi recognizes only this contact signal. [Elektroda, 12B, post #16779189]

Why does my boiler have a two-pin ‘house with thermometer’ connector?

Owners observed the header and measured about 3.15 V present, but connecting a sensor changed voltage without any control effect. It’s inactive. [Elektroda, bluegin, post #16787238]

Could experimenting with that two-pin header damage the boiler?

Yes. A service pro warned that using the inactive weather header can expose the control board to damage. Avoid connecting sensors there. [Elektroda, serwisszulborski.pl, post #16790133]

I already bought a PROND weather sensor. What should I do now?

Do not connect it to the Midi. It won’t control the boiler and may risk damage. Return or repurpose the sensor elsewhere. [Elektroda, 12B, post #16779189]

How do I wire an ON/OFF thermostat to the Midi?

  1. Remove the factory jumper on the room-thermostat terminals.
  2. Connect the thermostat’s COM and NO to those two terminals.
  3. Set desired boiler temperature; the thermostat will call for heat by closing the contact. [Elektroda, bluegin, post #16777585]

My wireless thermostat pairs, but the boiler never turns off—what’s wrong?

Verify you used a dry-contact receiver output (COM/NO), not a powered output. The Midi expects simple contact closure to stop/start heating. [Elektroda, krzyzak11, post #17431349]

Why did some users assume the Midi had weather control?

A visible connector, menu items, and stickers caused confusion. Later, users confirmed the weather function is absent on the ZWB 24-1 AR. [Elektroda, 12B, post #16779189]

Does the Cerapur Midi have extra service-menu options not in the manual?

One owner noted more items in Service Menu 2 than the user manual described. These do not enable outdoor-weather control. [Elektroda, bluegin, post #16792196]

Can the Midi cooperate with solar hot-water systems?

A user noted a solar cooperation mention and an adjustable DHW burner delay, but this is separate from space-heating weather control. [Elektroda, bluegin, post #16777585]
