Setting the parameters of the Dietrich amc 25 condensing gas furnace

Best answers

How do I set a De Dietrich AMC25 boiler so it heats to the right room temperature, and do I need CIRCA/CIRCA1 or the heating curve?

The boiler does not let you set a separate “room temperature range” directly; with an outdoor sensor it regulates the supply water via the heating curve, while the actual room temperature is usually limited by radiator thermostatic valves or a room thermostat, and CIRCA/CIRCA1 is only the heating circuit that must match how the installation is wired [#18115940][#18102342] If you want a constant supply temperature instead of weather control, set AP002 (Manual heat demand) to 1 and then set the flow temperature with AP026; in that mode the zone setting is overridden by the manual demand setting [#19661652][#19071966][#19318801] CIRCA is the main circuit on the front board, CIRCA1 is on the SCB-10 board, and only the circuit actually connected by the installer should be active; if the boiler was not fully configured, a service check may be needed [#18115940] The “frost protection” temperature is the outside-temperature threshold at which the boiler switches into frost-protection mode, and users noted that lowering this threshold, even to around -15°C, prevents it from entering that mode too early [#19225225][#19319208] For supply-water temperature, 80–85°C is too high; about 75°C is already an upper limit, and for a typical winter 50–55°C or around 60–65°C is more realistic depending on the house and radiators [#18100234][#18102342]

    Close-up of a device screen with HVAC temperature parameters.

    What does this parameter mean? Because I can`t find it anywhere.

    Hysteresis in a combined heating-cooling system. The heating turns off when the daily average > AP073, but if there is still cooling in the system, it will not turn on until the daily average < AP073 + AP075.
    In a system with only heating, this parameter is irrelevant and differs only in the description of the icon in standby mode ("summer" vs. "neutral band").

    Thanks for replying so quickly. It was this neutral band that I was wondering about, so I set it to 0 and then summer or winter. But I checked what happens when I increase this parameter, and the stove did not respond to it.
    Thank you for the explanation 😁

FAQ

TL;DR: 150 m² AMC25 users report heating + DHW for ~3 000 PLN/season [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #19015313]; “Weather control is very convenient” [Elektroda, Wojewoda82, post #18100865] Set curve 1.3-1.5, cap flow ≤ 65 °C, and adjust frost, sensor influence, or manual demand as needed.

Why it matters: Correct parameter choices cut gas use, prevent scalding, and stop boiler cycling.

Quick Facts

• Minimum output: AMC25 – 5.5 kW at 50/30 °C; AMC15 – 3.4 kW [Elektroda, Wojewoda82, post #18100865] • Recommended CH flow cap: 60–65 °C for aluminium or steel radiators [Elektroda, Zbigniew Rusek, post #18100234] • Typical radiator curve slope: 1.3–1.5 gives 45 °C flow at 0 °C outside [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #19015313] • Estimated annual gas: 1 600 m³ ≈ 3 150 PLN for 200 m² house [Elektroda, Wojewoda82, post #18102342] • Frost-protection default: 6 °C flow below user set outdoor limit (factory –3 °C) [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #19225225]

How does the external weather sensor control room temperature?

The sensor feeds outdoor temperature to the boiler; the heating curve then decides flow temperature. Room comfort is fine-tuned with radiator thermostats, not the boiler menu [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #18099241]

What heating-curve slope should I start with for radiators?

Set 1.3 in early autumn, raise to 1.5 in normal winter, and 1.6 in severe frost. A 1.4 slope gives ≈45 °C flow at 0 °C outside [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #19015313]

CIRCA vs. CIRCA1 – which should I use?

CIRCA uses the front CU-GH08 board; CIRCA1 is on the side SCB-10 board. With one direct circuit, pick the board actually wired and disable the other to avoid “frost protection 6 °C” messages [Elektroda, Dobroslaw, post #18115940]

How do I set a constant flow temperature without any thermostats?

  1. Menu › Burner.
  2. Set AP002 = 1 (manual demand).
  3. Set AP026 to desired flow, e.g., 40 °C. The boiler will modulate around this value continuously [Elektroda, Wnowak, post #19661652]

Can I override weather control temporarily?

Yes. Open Burner › Manual heat demand, set 40 °C (or needed value), then disable when comfort is reached. This supersedes all zone settings [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #19071966]

How does frost protection work and how do I adjust it?

Heating stops above the user threshold (factory –3 °C). Below it, the boiler forces ≈60 °C flow to protect pipes. Lower the threshold to –10 °C to avoid needless high flow in mild cold [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #19225225]

What does “room sensor influence” mean?

It is the weight (0–10) given to room feedback versus weather data. Value 5 means weather still dominates; values >5 put more weight on the indoor sensor [Elektroda, DJTrueBeliever, post #20735443]

Gas use seems high—160 m³ in 30 days for 200 m². Normal?

That equals 1 900 kWh or 10 kWh/m²-month. With only 10 cm EPS insulation, it is typical. Better insulation or lowering curve by 0.1 can save ~5 % fuel [Elektroda, Piotrkafka, post #19672745]

What happens if my boiler is oversized?

An AMC25 in a 100 m² low-loss home will idle at minimum 5.5 kW, causing on-off cycling. Cycling can cut seasonal efficiency by 10-15 % and shorten fan life [Elektroda, Wojewoda82, post #18100865]

How to force heating when weather control keeps the boiler off?

  1. Menu › Burner › Manual heat demand.
  2. Enter desired flow (e.g., 35 °C).
  3. Confirm; boiler fires regardless of outdoor temp. Disable manual mode afterwards to return to automatic control [Elektroda, Panderecki, post #18197627]

What does AP075 Neutral-band hysteresis do?

It sets the gap between heating off and possible cooling on mixed systems: heating stops when daily average >AP073, restarts only when average <AP073 + AP075. In heating-only systems the value is cosmetic [Elektroda, DJTrueBeliever, post #20767908]

Can AMC handle radiators and underfloor heating together?

Yes. Connect radiators to CIRCA1 and underfloor loops to CIRCB1/CIRCC1 on SCB-10, then assign separate curves (e.g., 0.4 for UFH, 1.4 for rads). A three-way mixer downstream of SCB-10 outputs keeps low-temp loops safe [Elektroda, Wnowak, post #19071190]
