Room thermostat control – Using the leaving water temperature home pages

INFORMATION
The leaving water is the water that is sent to the heat emitters. The desired leaving water temperature is set by your installer in accordance with the heat emitter type.
Example: Underfloor heating is designed for lower leaving water temperature than radiators and heat pump convectors and/or fan coil units. You only have to adjust leaving water temperature settings in case of problems.
For more information about the leaving water temperature, see the user reference guide.

Domestic hot water control

NOTICE
Disinfection mode. Even if you turn OFF domestic hot water operation via the DHW tank temperature home page (Tank), disinfection mode will remain active.

Instant DHW (no tank installed)
Not applicable for Switzerland
When there is a demand for hot water tapping, the boiler provides DHW instantly.
Using the instant DHW home page
Not applicable for Switzerland
Depending on the user profile, the user interface gives you either a basic or a detailed home page.

To adjust the instant DHW temperature

1. Go to the instant DHW home page.
2. Press or adjust the instant DHW temperature (DHW).
   The instant DHW setpoint temperature may NOT be below 40°C.

Tank
The following modes are only applicable if a tank is installed and are set by the installer.

Reheat mode
In reheat mode ( ), the DHW  tank continuously heats up to the temperature shown on the DHW  tank temperature home page (example: 50°C).

INFORMATION
When the DHW tank mode is reheated, the risk for capacity shortage and comfort problems is significant. In the case of frequent reheat operation, the space heating function is regularly interrupted.

Scheduled mode
In scheduled mode ( ), the DHW  tank produces hot water corresponding to a schedule. The best time to allow the tank to produce hot water is at night, because the space heating demand is lower.
Example:

Scheduled + reheat mode
In scheduled + reheat mode ( ), the domestic hot water control is the same as in scheduled mode. However, when the DHW  tank temperature drops below a preset value (=reheat tank temperature – hysteresis value; example: 35°C), the DHW  tank heats up until it reaches the reheat setpoint (example: 45°C). This ensures that a minimum amount of hot water is available at all times.

Example:

60°C Storage comfort
50°C Storage eco
45°C Reheat
35°C Reheat tank temperature – hysteresis value

Energy-saving tips

Tips about room temperature

• Make sure the desired room temperature is NEVER too high, but ALWAYS according to your actual needs. Each saved degree can save up to 6% of  heating costs.
• Do NOT increase the desired room temperature to speed up space heating. The space will NOT heat up faster.
• When your system layout contains slow heat emitters (example: underfloor heating), avoid large fluctuation of the desired room temperature and do NOT  let the room temperature drop too low. It will take more time and energy to heat up the room again.
• Use a weekly schedule for your normal space heating needs. If necessary, you can easily deviate from the schedule:
• For shorter periods: You can overrule the scheduled room temperature. Example:
  ▪ When you have a party, or when you are leaving for a couple of hours.
  ▪ For longer periods: You can use the holiday mode.
  Example:
  When you stay at home during your holiday, or when you go away during your holiday.

Tips about DHW tank temperature

• Use a weekly schedule for your normal domestic hot water needs (only in scheduled mode).
  • Program to heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Storage comfort = higher DHW  tank temperature) during the night, because then space heating  demand is lower.
  • If heating up the DHW  tank once at night is not sufficient, program to additionally heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Storage eco = lower  DHW tank temperature) during the day.

• Make sure the desired DHW  tank temperature is NOT too high.
  Example: After installation, lower the DHW tank temperature daily by 1°C and check if you still have enough hot water.

• Program to turn ON the domestic hot water pump only during periods of the day when instant hot water is necessary.
  Example: In the morning and evening.

Maintenance and service

Overview: Maintenance and service

The installer has to perform yearly maintenance. You can find the contact/helpdesk number via the user interface.
As an end-user, you have to:

• Keep the area around the unit clean.
• Keep the user interface cleanly with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use any detergents.
• Regularly check if the water pressure indicated on the gas boiler is above 1 bar. Switch off the boiler to see the pressure on the main display of the gas boiler. Ignore the error that appears on the user interface. When you turn the gas boiler back on, the error will disappear.
• Make sure that electricity and gas prices defined in the user interface are up-to-date.

Refrigerant
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R32
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675

NOTICE
Applicable legislation on fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that the refrigerant charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO2 equivalent.
Formula to calculate the quantity in CO2 equivalent tonnes: GWP value of the refrigerant × total refrigerant charge [in kg] / 1000 Please contact your installer for more information.

WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The refrigerant inside this unit is mildly flammable.

WARNING

• Do NOT pierce or burn refrigerant cycle parts.
• Do NOT use cleaning materials or means to accelerate the defrosting process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Be aware that the refrigerant inside the system is odorless.

WARNING
The refrigerant inside the unit is mildly flammable but normally does NOT leak. If the refrigerant leaks in the room and comes in contact with fire from a  burner, a heater, or a cooker, this may result in fire or the formation of harmful gas.
Turn off any combustible heating devices, ventilate the room, and contact the dealer where you purchased the unit.
Do NOT use the unit until a service person confirms that the part from which the refrigerant leaked has been repaired.

To find the contact/helpdesk number

Prerequisite: You switched the permission level to Advanced end user.

Symptom: You are feeling too cold (hot) in your living room

desired room temperature. See
“3.3.1 Room thermostat control -Using the room temperature home pages” [► 4].
If the problem recurs daily, do one of the following:
• Increase (decrease) the room temperature preset value. See the user reference guide.
• Adjust the room temperature schedule. See “3.5 Schedules: Example” [► 6].
The desired room temperature cannot be reached.| Increase the desired leaving water temperature in accordance with the heat emitter type. See “3.3.2 Room thermostat control -Using the leaving water temperature home pages” [► 5].
The weather-dependent curve is set incorrectly.| Adjust the weather-dependent curve. See the user reference guide.

To find the contact/helpdesk number

Prerequisite: You switched the permission level to Advanced end user.
Symptom: The water at the tap is too cold

Your tank ran out of domestic hot water because of unusually high consumption.| If you immediately need domestic hot water, activate the DHW tank booster mode. However, this consumes extra energy.
If you can wait, overrule (increase) the active or next scheduled desired temperature so that more hot water will be produced exceptionally.
If the problems recur daily, do one of the following:
• Increase the DHW tank
temperature preset value.
• Adjust the DHW tank
temperature schedule.
Example: Program to
additionally heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Storage eco = lower tank temperature) during the day.
The desired DHW tank
temperature is too low.
The instant DHW temperature is too low. (Only applicable when no tank is installed).| Increase the instant DHW setpoint temperature.

Symptom: Heat pump failure

When the heat pump fails to operate, the gas boiler can serve as an emergency backup heater and either automatically or nonautomatically take over the entire heat load.

•  When the auto emergency is activated and a heat pump failure occurs, the boiler will automatically take over the heat load.
• When the auto emergency is not activated and a heat pump failure occurs, the domestic hot water and space heating operations will stop and need to be recovered manually. The user interface will then ask you to confirm whether the boiler can take over the entire heat load or not.

When the heat pump fails, will appear on the user interface.

▪ Press again.
▪ Select to allow the gas boiler to take over the entire heat load.
▪ Call your local dealer to get the heat pump fixed.

INFORMATION
When the gas boiler takes over the entire heat load, gas consumption will be considerably higher.

Symptom: The system is making gurgling noises after commissioning

interface. You can press to display more information about the malfunction.

(a) We recommend purging air with the air purge function of the unit (to be performed by the installer). If you purge air from the heat emitters or collectors,  mind the following:

WARNING
Air purging heat emitters or collectors. Before you purge air from heat emitters or collectors, check if an error or is displayed on the home pages of the user interface.

• If not, you can purge air immediately.
• If yes, make sure that the room where you want to purge air is sufficiently ventilated. Reason: Refrigerant might leak into the water circuit, and subsequently into the room when you purge air from the heat emitters or collectors.

Disposal

NOTICE
Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: the dismantling of the system, treatment of the refrigerant, oil, and other parts MUST comply with applicable legislation. Units MUST be treated at a specialized treatment facility for reuse, recycling, and recovery.
