# Valve(s) operation

Regardless of the application (wiring diagram) choice, the valve(s) are operated in the following manner. 

The corresponding valve is activated together with the fan as the measured temperature crosses the ***Δt1*** threshold in relation with the target temperature ***w***. As the temperature in the room reaches the target temperature, the valve(s) and the fan are deactivated.

Example:\
&#x20;\- **current operational mode: Heating**\
&#x20;\- Δt1 = 1°C\
&#x20;\- target temperature (w) = 23°C\
&#x20;\- threshold temperature = w-Δt1 = 23 - 1 = 22°C)\
&#x20;\- measured temperature = 22.2°C

1. When the **measured temperature** drops from 22.2 to 22°C (threshold temperature) or lower, the valve(s) and fan are activates.
2. They stay active until the **measured temperature** is equal or greater to the **target temperature (w)**.
3. Once the target **temperature (w)** has been reached the valve(s) and fan deactivate.
4. When the temperature drops to 22°C again the the valve(s) and fan activate again, etc.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.mclimate.eu/mclimate-lorawan-devices/devices/mclimate-fan-coil-thermostat-fct/mclimate-fan-coil-thermostat-device-communication-protocol/on-off-and-target-temperature/valve-s-operation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
