Outdoor temperature sensor for boilers baxi. Outdoor temperature sensor Baxi. What tools are required for installation
Energy prices are rising regularly, gas is no exception. Therefore, owners of wall-mounted gas boilers are increasingly thinking about savings. In general, modern gas boilers are quite economical and heating an apartment or country house It is quite cheap compared to similar services of commercial organizations. In this article, we will look at what factors affect the economy gas boiler on the example of BAXI.
Heat carrier temperature
Proper regulation of the coolant temperature will directly affect gas savings. In the basic configuration, boilers are mostly not equipped with a sensor outdoor temperature, therefore, throughout the heating season, the user must independently choose the temperature of the coolant, depending on weather changes: either increase or decrease.
This is not very convenient, especially since Baksi boilers allow you to connect a sensor as an option. Even in this case, the term weather-dependent automation can be used. Then, the regulation will take place automatically depending on the climatic curve selected in the boiler settings, and the boiler will spend less energy on useless heating, which will lead to gas savings.
Boiler clocking
Clocking is the frequency of turning on equipment for heating the coolant. If external control devices are not connected to the Baxi boiler, then the interval between switching on the boiler can be set to a maximum of 10 minutes (3 minutes by default).
For example, for the BAXI ECO FOUR boiler, this is the configuration parameter F11 Burner waiting time between two ignitions.
Frequent switching on is not economical - the more time the boiler will work continuously, the better. At one of the forums, the user expressed concern about the long-term continuous operation of the boiler, but on the contrary, this means that a mode has been established in which the heat losses of the room are continuously compensated while maintaining optimum temperature coolant.
This problem is most relevant for owners of small apartments, because the boiler was originally provided, including for cooking hot water and obviously more power.
Since the configuration parameter numbers for gas boilers may differ, you need to study the instructions to configure a specific model.
How to set the baxi boiler to economical mode?
For small apartments, it is recommended to set parameters F08 (Maximum useful heating system output) and F10 (Minimum useful heating system output) to the minimum. The modulation range of a 24 kW boiler starts from 40% of the maximum power, so the minimum possible operating mode will be 9 kW, which will be quite enough to heat an area up to 80 square meters. meters and increase the intervals between inclusions, especially in the off-season.
In addition to saving gas, do not forget that each burner start-up activates the main executive mechanisms, switching relay on the control board, fan, gas valve, which certainly affects the resource of their work.
Here it is worth mentioning that the most economical mode of the gas boiler will be when operating at maximum power, i.e. with maximum efficiency.
Connecting a room thermostat
Most models of baxi boilers have the ability to connect a room thermostat. The meaning is that the boiler will turn on only at the signal of the thermostat when the air temperature in the room drops below the set one.
Of course, everything is quite individual, and a lot depends on the type and balance of the heating system as a whole, and the use of only one room thermostat will have a certain inertia.
Programmable thermostats allow you to flexibly adjust different temperature conditions throughout the day. Reducing the temperature in the room by 1 degree during the year will save about 4-5% of gas.
In some EU countries, where energy efficiency issues are more meticulous, the installation of a room thermostat is a mandatory requirement.
Zone control system
Such a system provides for individual temperature control in each room separately by installing controlled thermal heads on each radiator. That is, depending on the air temperature in a particular room, the amount of coolant in the radiator will be regulated, and the boiler will turn on only when necessary. The use of such regulation will give maximum savings (about 30%) and comfort in the room. The only disadvantage of such a system is its cost.
Savings and regular equipment maintenance
The basic device of a traditional gas boiler is almost the same, regardless of the manufacturer. Thermal energy From the combustion of gas is transferred to the coolant through the heat exchanger. There can be either one or two heat exchangers in the boiler. During the operation of any gas boiler, the heat removal surface is contaminated with soot deposits from the outside, and scale from the inside.
From practice, we can say that it is extremely rare that the system is filled with specially prepared water or the water supply system is equipped with a water treatment system. Especially it concerns apartment buildings, in which the owners receive a ready-made heating system along with the apartment.
The formation of scale and soot on the walls of the heat exchanger will gradually reduce the heat transfer performance, and more energy will be consumed for heating.
Therefore, the annual regular Maintenance will necessarily affect the efficiency of equipment operation in better side! This applies in particular to boilers with bithermic heat exchangers, which, in view constructive device difficult to wash.
A thermostat is a temperature control device that controls control of the boiler operation depending on the air temperature.
Temperature controllers are indoor and outdoor(street). Outdoor sensors can also be used.
Baxi gas equipment has the ability to connect both indoor and outdoor thermostats and sensors.
Room appliances have a greater effect on timing(switching on and off) of the boiler, and the street ones allow the unit to regulate coolant temperature. The air temperature in the street and in the house is constantly changing, and the thermostat helps increase or decrease gas flow for space heating.
Types of thermostats for Baxi gas boilers
Devices for Baxi are thermostats compatible with Italian brand gas boilers.
In terms of their functions, they do not differ from systems for other gas equipment. Usually thermostats are distinguished by:
- installation site;
- principle of work;
- control method.
According to the place of installation, the devices are divided into indoor and outdoor. Rooms are used more often than outdoor or outdoor, as they do not require protection from difficult weather conditions.
Outdoor options are used in cases where the owner of the house seeks to make the operation of the equipment as accurate and economical as possible. The combination is especially effective in such cases. room thermostat and outdoor sensor, which is allowed by Baxi units.
According to the principle of operation, the thermostat can be mechanical or electronic. In the first case temperature must be set manually. In the second- a program is laid, according to which the boiler changes the intensity of work automatically.
The way to control a mechanical thermostat is to manually set the mode turning a knob or pressing a button. An electronic or programmable version can be operated remotely. In this case, the sensor is located in any part of the room, and the control takes place remote control, computer or phone. However, contact with gas equipment remains wired.

How to choose a Baxi thermostat
Thermostats and sensors for gas Baxi boilers produced by the Italian company, so it is best to choose them. If this is not possible, you need to look for a thermostat that matches the parameters that are usually indicated in instrument data sheets. It is appropriate in such cases to take the advice of a specialist who is familiar with the Baxi brand.
Attention! Check carefully compatibility thermostat with a gas boiler for which it is purchased. Please note that devices one firm interact best with each other.
When choosing a thermostat, it must be taken into account whether the boiler is used constantly or only from time to time. If the house has an inexpensive unit model that rarely works, then it is enough a simple regulator with a minimum of functions.
And vice versa, if heating and hot water are needed all year round and an expensive model of the unit is used, it is better to install a programmable thermostat.
And if the cottage is involved system " smart House» , then the ability to control the device via the Internet will be very handy.
This feature has been implemented in most advanced models.
Calculation technical requirements to the thermostat is made based on the requirements for the operation of the boiler. For example, if the owners leave for work in the morning and return only in the evening, thermostat with programmer, which will reduce the heating temperature and fuel consumption while no one is in the house.
And also, if the house is geographically located in a cold region, then it is better to purchase a thermostat with frost protection system: it automatically turns on the boiler if the air temperature drops up to +3°C. Such technical specifications has, for example, room thermostat Baxi Magictime Plus.

Where to post
An important condition for the correct operation of thermostats is the accurate measurement of air temperature. Although all devices have an error up to several degrees, it can be minimized.
To do this, the room thermostat must be installed away from drafts and at a considerable distance from heating appliances.
It is better to install the outdoor sensor so that it is not flooded with rain or covered with snow. These precautions are due to the fact that More accurate sensor readings, topics work more efficiently boiler and less fuel consumption.
What materials are needed to connect
Connection materials are usually supplied with the thermostat. This is, first of all, the device itself, as well as mounting cable and fasteners. With their help, the device is connected to a gas boiler and fixed to the wall.
What tools are required for installation
To connect the thermostat, you may need:
- screwdriver;
- drill;
- side cutters;
- thermometer.
side cutters you can strip the ends of the thermostat wires, but as a rule they already have terminals that are screwed to the contacts of the gas boiler for a remote thermostat.
A drill is needed for holes in the wall into which dowels are installed. They are twisted screws on which the device is attached. Need for dowels does not apply if the wall is wooden.
A thermometer will be needed to check the air temperature after starting the thermostat.
Connection order
During the connection period, both devices should not work. To connect the thermostat and the gas boiler, it is necessary to study technical data sheets of both devices and follow the wiring diagrams and instructions. The ends of the cable for the temperature controller must be attached to the gas boiler contacts.
Then the cable must be stretched along the wall to the place where the thermostat is mounted. After that, at the selected point (usually it is located in the coldest residential area), the device is screwed to the wall. Finally, it is carried out setting up and checking the device.
How to check the operation of the device
To check the device, you must set maximum temperature. Then you need to turn on the gas boiler and bring it to maximum efficiency mode(efficiency).
Upon reaching comfortable temperature it is necessary to accurately measure it next to the thermostat and set it as a threshold for shutting down.
Then, within an hour, you need to see if the thermostat turns on the heater when the air cools down. within 0.5-2 °C. If this happens, then the devices are working correctly.

Designed for all wall and floor gas boilers
The outdoor temperature sensor changes the temperature at the water supply to the heating system depending on the temperature outside. It serves to maintain a constant thermal regime in the room, regardless of external temperature conditions.
When an outdoor temperature sensor is connected to the BAXI boiler, the weather-dependent automation built into the boiler board is activated and the boiler itself regulates the temperature at the supply to the heating system according to the established control curve. In this case, the consumer receives increased comfort and gas savings by taking into account real weather conditions.
Separately, let's say a few words about one of the brightest novelties presented by BAXI in 2007 - wall gas boilers third generation Luna-3 Comfort.
Joint use in these boilers of the outdoor temperature sensor and the sensor room temperature(not a room thermostat, but a temperature sensor!) ensures self-adaptation of the boiler. That is, the control curve for the dependence of the supply temperature on the outside temperature is calculated automatically.
The main highlight of the Luna-3 Comfort series boilers is a removable digital control panel, which is also a room temperature sensor. The remote design of the control panel allows you to install it in any convenient place.
The digital control panel not only makes it easy to set up and instantly diagnose the boiler, but also remembers the last errors in the system. Room temperature and hot water temperature can be set directly on the remote control panel. Boiler management has become easier thanks to a clear display of all information on a wide LCD display and temperature control buttons. The remote control panel is also equipped with a two-level weekly timer and functions as a programmable room thermostat. This allows you to set temperature regime for the whole week, thereby ensuring rational energy consumption. The control panel can be mounted directly on the wall, or in a standard recessed light switch box.
For the convenience of heating the room and saving fuel consumption, the Luna-3 Comfort boilers provide for the connection of an outdoor temperature sensor for the operation of the built-in weather-dependent automation. In this case, the boiler electronics changes the temperature of the water in the heating circuit in accordance with the set climate curve. Luna-3 Comfort boilers can also be used for low temperature systems heating (mode "warm floors" 30-45 ° C).
Luna-3 Comfort boilers can also be used in mixed systems with several temperature zones. For this, BAXI offers a wide range of special accessories.
Where to install the sensor?
The best place to install the sensor on the street is the north side of the house, the installation is made as high as possible from the ground level. If it is not possible to install the sensor on the north side, try to choose the closest place to this direction, the location of the outdoor sensor should not be exposed to sunlight, it should be placed in the shade, under a canopy, around the corner from the sun. The outer box in which the outdoor temperature sensor is located is made of plastic with waterproof connections, moisture and condensate cannot get inside the box.
In order for the heating equipment to work correctly, it is equipped with special sensors that have the ability to take indicators and transmit data. Baxi sensors are devices made with the latest technology and modern materials. Designed to give the most accurate readings, they allow you to use your heating system efficiently and safely. household appliances. You can purchase original sensors for Baxi heating boilers at any time on the Geyser website.
Baxi quality thermostats
One of the most important indicators in the heating system is the temperature of the coolant. To measure it, special NTC sensors are used, which determine changes electrical resistance. These devices are able to take readings due to the inverse relationship between their resistance and the temperature of hot water. The higher the degree, the lower the resistance, which becomes zero when reaching 100°C.
The Baxi boiler temperature sensor is directly connected to the main control board, which changes its parameters based on its readings. In our warehouse you can find all types of temperature sensors. Whatever equipment you have, we will select high-quality and compatible spare parts for it.
Depending on the type heating equipment, thermostats for the Baxi boiler are placed either directly in the body of the primary heat exchanger, or in some models of boilers on the branch pipe leaving the primary heat exchanger. Also, devices can be installed inside the heated room or outside. In this regard, thermostats for the Baxi gas boiler can be divided into:
- invoices;
- submersible;
- room;
- external.
In addition, thermostats for the Baxi gas boiler are divided according to the method of data transmission into:

Baxi heating circuit temperature sensors are distinguished by their sophistication and technical excellence. The developers have created them practical and durable devices with excellent performance. Equipment equipped with such sensors will operate efficiently and reliably.
Original pneumatic relays for Baxi boilers
The pressure switch is a device that controls the operation ventilation system boiler and smoke removal processes. The body of the device is designed in such a way that on the one hand the inner membrane is affected by Atmosphere pressure, and on the other hand the pressure flue gases. This allows you to record changes in the composition of the gas-air environment and make appropriate adjustments.
If necessary, Baxi draft sensors are able to turn the boiler burner on or off. All actions of the pneumatic relay are aimed at ensuring the safe operation of heating equipment. If for some reason the air supply pipes become clogged, the pressure switch is activated and performs actions that protect the system from overheating.
The Geyser company sells foreign-made thrust sensors according to affordable prices. In our product catalog there are many parts and spare parts from well-known brands. You can buy a draft sensor for a Baxi gas boiler from us quickly and without problems. The goods will be at your home in a matter of hours after ordering.
Reliable flow sensors
Flow switches are designed to control water flow. This small device is a very important part of any heating equipment. The device is usually included in the DHW circuit. There are two types of flow sensors:
- turbine;
- ferromagnetic.
The first ones are newer and are a pipe with a magnet inside. The flow of water rotates the blades, which creates magnetic impulses transmitted to the control panel. The signaling frequency determines the flow rate.
The latter are more common and look like a float with a magnet inside. When the water is turned on, the float starts to move, thereby acting on the reed microswitch, which transmits the data further to the control board.
In our official service center customers are given the opportunity to choose any of the water flow sensors for the Baxi boiler. We work throughout Moscow and the Moscow region and offer the best prices for spare parts from thermal equipment.
