# Setting up a firing protocol

A firing protocol is used when installing or commissioning floor heating systems. It ensures that the temperature is adjusted in a controlled way over multiple days. This process helps to:

- Prevent cracks in concrete floors
- Ensure proper curing
- Protect the heating system

The protocol is executed by scheduling temperature setpoints and actions for each day.

### Configuration

#### 1. Prepare the protocol

- Select the required standard:
  - **BS EN 1264-2:2008+A1:2012**
  - **DIN EN 1264-4 (8 days)**
  - **DIN EN 1264-4 (20 days)**
- Identify the required values per day from the protocol table

> [!CAUTION]
> Attention!
> 
> Multiply the value by 10 (ex. enter a value of 200 when you want 20°C). The development team is currently resolving this issue.

#### 2. Create a schedule for each day

For each day in the protocol:

- Open the Scheduler
- Navigate to the correct date
- Double-click on the desired time
- Enter a title (e.g. *Day 1*, *Day 2*, etc.)
- Set the correct **start date and time**
- Set **Repeat** to **Never**

#### 3. Configure the task

Under **Tasks**:

- Select **Task type:** Execute Action
- Set **Execution rule:** Only Last
- Select **Asset Type** (e.g. Thermobile boiler)
- Select the correct **Asset**
- Select **Action Definition:** Setpoint Secondary temperature
- Enter the **Value** according to the protocol

#### 4. Add additional actions (if required)

Some days require additional actions, such as enabling or disabling the floor heating system.

To add an additional action:

- Click the **Add (+)** button in the **Tasks** section
- Configure the following fields:
  - **Task type:** Execute Action
  - **Execution rule:** Only Last
  - **Asset Type:** Same as the main action (e.g. Thermobile boiler)
  - **Asset:** Same asset as the main action
  - **Action Definition:** Floor heating status
  - **Value:**
    - Set to **On / 1** to enable heating
    - Set to **Off / 0** to disable heating
- Click **Save** to add the action to the schedule

Repeat these steps if multiple actions are required for the same day.

#### 5. Repeat for all days

- Create a separate schedule for each day
- Ensure each schedule contains the correct values and actions
