### Function description

#### General

This function block controls the activation of the fast heating mode (*xEn* = TRUE) by comparing the room temperature *rRoomTemp* with the room setpoint temperature *rSetPtTemp* when the ventilation system is active (*xRegAHU* = TRUE).\
The fast heating mode can also be activated independently via the input *xCoolOutProtectionEn* activated.

#### Enable / disable of the fast heating mode *xEn*

| TRUE      | > *rSetPtTemp* + **rSwitchOffPoint** | FALSE                | FALSE | Fast heating mode disabled due to room temperature         |
| TRUE      | < *rSetPtTemp* + **rSwitchOnPoint**  | FALSE                | TRUE  | Fast heating mode enabled due to room temperature          |
| X         | X                                    | TRUE                 | TRUE  | Fast heating mode enabled via input                        |
