Possible Causes
Oversized Viadrus furnace for system load, Thermostat located in poor position, Incorrect control parameters (hysteresis, curve), Pump overrun time too short
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Control parameter changes should follow the Viadrus manual to avoid unsafe operation.
- Thermostat location: Ensure the room thermostat is not near heat sources, drafts, or direct sunlight. Relocate if necessary.
- Adjust hysteresis: In the control menu, increase the temperature differential (hysteresis) so the furnace runs longer per cycle.
- Pump overrun: Increase pump overrun time so residual heat is distributed and the furnace does not overheat and shut down prematurely.
- System design review: If the furnace is significantly oversized, a heating engineer may recommend adding a buffer tank or reconfiguring zones.
