1INSTALLING THE DEVICE
1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE.
e abbreviation “D.I.M.” (Disgiuntore Idrico
Multi-impianti - multi-system distribution man-
ifold) identies a series of kits that Immergas has
designed for the management of central heating
systems with large water capacities. In particular,
they are kits that can only be coupled with some
boiler models in the Immergas range, including
an open manifold (distribution manifold) and
a circulator.
IMPORTANT: the boiler models set-up for cou-
pling with the manifolds are Immergas boilers
with P.C.B. designed for the management of zone
systems.
ese kits are characterised by the possibility
to be recessed in the wall, therefore have no
clearance.
e zone served by the distribution manifold is
managed by an Immergas chrono-thermostat
connected to the boiler.
1.2 INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATIONS.
e place of installation of the appliance and
relative Immergas accessories must have suitable
features (technical and structural) such to allow
(always in safety, efficiency and comfortable
conditions):
- installation (according to the provisions of the
technical legislation and technical regulations);
- maintenance operations (including scheduled,
periodic, routine and special maintenance);
- removal (to outdoors in the place for loading
and transporting the appliances and compo-
nents) as well as their eventual replacement
with appliances and/or equivalent components.
Only professionally qualified companies are
authorised to install the Immergas Multi-Sys-
tem Distribution Manifold. Installation must be
carried out according to regulation standards,
current legislation and in compliance with local
technical regulations and the required technical
procedures. Before installing the device, ensure
that it is delivered in perfect condition; if in
doubt, contact the supplier immediately. Packing
materials (staples, nails, plastic bags, polystyrene
foam, etc.) constitute a hazard and must be
kept out of the reach of children. In the event
of malfunctions, faults or incorrect operation,
turn the device o immediately and contact an
authorised company (e.g. the Authorised Tech-
nical Assistance centre, which has specically
trained sta and original spare parts). Do not
attempt to modify or repair the appliance alone.
Failure to comply with the above implies personal
responsibility and invalidates the warranty.
Recess installation.
Do the masonry work creating an opening in the
wall suitable to contain the device (See parag.
"Main dimensions").
Insert the distribution manifold (1) in its seat,
remembering to open the four support ns (2)
before inserting it (Fig. 1-1).
Protect the side edges and the front cover during
the recess preparation for the device.
IMPORTANT: the hydraulic and electrical con-
nections must be made within the device unit;
you must therefore position the frame rst and
then perform the connections.
Attention: the recessed frame is not a supporting
structure and cannot replace the piece of wall
removed. It is therefore necessary to check the
correct positioning inside the wall.
Wall-hanging installation.
Fasten the frame to the wall using four expansion
plugs suitable for the type of wall and weight
of the device (not supplied) and using the four
drilled holes (see Fig. 1-2 pos. X).
Use the fairlead and the sheath-holder (3)
supplied to limit the inltration of water inside
the frame.

1.4 HYDRAULIC CONNECTION.
Attention: before making the appliance con-
nections, clean the heating system thoroughly
(pipes, radiators, etc.) with special pickling or
de-scaling products to remove any deposits that
could compromise correct device operation.
A chemical treatment of the thermal system wa-
ter is required, in compliance with the technical
standards in force, in order to protect the system
and the appliance from deposits (e.g., lime scale),
slurry or other hazardous deposits.
e hydraulic connections must be made in a
rational manner using the values as per Fig. 1-2.
IMPORTANT: remove all the protection caps
from the system ow and return pipes before
making the hydraulic connections.
e connections can be made directly using the
female couplings on the distribution manifold
or by inserting system cut-o cocks (optional).
ese cocks are particularly useful for mainte-
nance as they allow you to drain the distribution
manifold separately without having to empty the
entire system.
N.B.: Immergas does not supply the G1” cocks to
be installed in the low temperature zone.
Check that the expansion vessel present in the
boiler, is sucient to allow the increase in vol-
ume of the water and consequently its heating
without causing the safety valve to open.If this
is not the case, an expansion vessel with appro-
priately dimensioned capacity must be installed
on the system.
The D.I.M. is set-up for the insertion of the
automatic “jolly” vent valve to be mounted on
the manifold. is is recommended for better
air venting inside the system.
If two D.I.M devices are installed in parallel, two
manual valves must be tted in order to ensure
the correct balance of the hydraulic circuit.
1.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
e appliance has an IPX5D protection degree,
electrical safety of the appliance is reached only
when it is connected properly to an ecient
earthing system as specied by current safety
standards.
Attention: the manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or physical injury
caused by failure to connect the boiler to an
ecient earth system or failure to comply with
the reference standards.
Also ensure that the electrical installation corre-
sponds to maximum absorbed power specica-
tions as shown on the recessed unit data-plate.
e distribution manifold is supplied complete
with an “X” type power cable without plug.
e power supply cable must be connected to a
230V ±10% / 50Hz mains supply respecting L-N
polarity and earth connection; , this network
must also have a multi-pole circuit breaker with
class III over-voltage category.
To protect from possible dispersions of DC
voltage one must provide a type A dierential
safety device.
When replacing the power supply cable, contact
a qualied rm (e.g. the Authorised Aer-Sales
Technical Assistance Service).
For the main power supply to the appliance,
never use adapters, multiple sockets or exten-
sion leads.
Important: it is mandatory to prepare two elec-
trical connection lines in order to separate the
power supply of each distribution manifold from
all other low voltage connections according to the
Standards in force regarding electrical systems.
ese lines must arrive inside the recessed frame
via relevant sheaths or ducts passing through the
fairlead and the sheath-holder supplied, located
on the upper side of the device.
• Connecting the boiler P.C.B. is connection
(low voltage) ensures the dialogue the between
boiler and DIM. Perform the connections as
described in chapter 3.
N.B.: the electrical connection between the
devices must be made using cables with a
minimum section of 0.50 mm2and with a
maximum section of 2.5 mm2; the length of
these connections must not exceed 15 metres.

If a Comando Amico RemotoV2 (C.A.R.V2) or Su-
per C.A.R. zone control remote control or a room
thermostat are used, they must be connected
electrically directly to the boiler (see instructions
in boiler manual).
Attention: it is also necessary to install the relay
board in the boiler as shown in Fig 3-1, cong-
uring relay K2 in “central heating phase active”.

1.7 CIRCULATION PUMP.
e boiler is supplied with circulator tted with
speed regulator.
ese settings are suitable for most systems.
In fact, the pump is equipped with electronic
control to set advanced functions. For proper op-
eration one must select the most suitable type of
operation for the system and select a speed in the
available range, with a focus on energy savings.
Display of operation status. During normal
operation the status LED (2) turns green when
it is in stand-by, the four yellow LEDs (3) in-
dicate circulator absorption according to the
following table:

Selection of operating mode. To see the current
operation mode it is sucient to press button
(1) once.
To change operation mode press the button for
between 2 to 10 seconds until the current cong-
uration ashing, each time the button is pressed
all possible functions are scrolled cyclically. Aer
a few seconds without doing any operation the
circulator memorises the selected mode and goes
back to operation display.
Attention: e circulator incorporates various
operating modes, however you must choose
between the operating modes listed below (see
g. 1-5 for the representation of the LEDs on
the circulator):
• Proportional pressure. is allows the pres-
sure level (head) to be proportionally reduced
as the system heat demand decreases (ow rate
reduction). anks to this function, the electric
power consumption of the circulator pump is
reduced further: the energy (power) used by
the pump decreases according to the pressure
level and ow rate. With this setting, the pump
guarantees optimal performance in most heat-
ing systems, thereby being particularly suitable
in single-pipe and two-pipe installations. Any
noise of the water ow in the pipes, valves and
radiators is eliminated by reducing the head.
Optimal conditions for thermal comfort and
acoustic well-being.
• Constant pressure. The circulator pump
maintains the pressure level (head) constant
as the system heat demand decreases (ow rate
reduction). With these settings, the circulator
pump is suitable for all oor systems where all
the circuits must be balanced for the same drop
in head.
• Constant curve. e circulator operates main-
taining constant speed.
Selection button lock. e button has a feature
that locks its operation to prevent accidental
modications, to lock the control panel it is
necessary to press button (1) longer than 10
seconds (during which the current conguration
ashes), the active lock is signalled by all LEDs of
the control panel ashing. To unlock the button
press again longer than 10 seconds.
Real time diagnostics: in the event of mal-
function the LEDs provide information on the
circulator operation status, see table (Fig. 1-6).

1.9 SIZING THE SYSTEMS.
e ow temperatures to the various system
zones may be reduced compared to the boiler
outlet temperatures, according to the mixture
of the ow and return uids inside the DIM.
In the event that the DIM is used to feed Low
Temperature zones, check that the design param-
eters allow you to achieve a maximum surface
temperature of the radiant oor in compliance
with standard UNI EN 1264.
1.10 COMMISSIONING THE DEVICE.
System lling. Once the device is connected, ll
the system via the boiler lling valve.
Filling is performed at low speed to ensure release
of air bubbles in the water via the boiler and cen-
tral heating system vents and of the distribution
manifold (if any).
Close radiator vent valves when only water
escapes from them.
Close the lling cock when the boiler pressure
gauge indicates approx. 1.2 bar.
IMPORTANT: during these operations, start
the circulation pumps by acting on the main
switch positioned on the boiler control panel
aer having activated the T.A. devices relating
to the various zones.
1.11 KITS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.
• System cut-off cock kit (on request). The
manifold is designed for installation of system
interception cocks to be placed on ow and
return pipes of the connection assembly. is
kit is particularly useful for maintenance as it
allows the DIM to be drained separately with-
out having to empty the entire system.
e above-mentioned kits are supplied complete
with instructions for assembly and use.

electrical power requires some fundamental
rules to be observed:
- do not touch the device with wet or moist parts
of the body; do not touch when barefoot.
- if the device is wall-mounted: do not pull the
electric cables, do not leave the device exposed
to the elements (rain, sun, etc.);
- the device power cable must not be replaced by
the user;
- in the event of damage to the cable, switch the
device o and contact exclusively professionally
qualied sta for replacement;
- if the device is not going to be used for a certain
period, disconnect the main power switch.
2.2 WARNINGS FOR THE USER.
is device does not require any regulation or
control by the user. It is therefore prohibited to
open the device front lid.
e only operation that the user must perform
is to periodically check the water pressure of the
system in the boiler. e boiler pressure gauge
should read a value between 1 and 1.2 bar.
If the pressure is below 1 bar (with the circuit cool)
restore normal pressure via the lling valve located
in the boiler (see boiler instruction book).
N.B.: close the valve aer the operation.
If pressure values reach around 3 bar, the boiler
safety valve may be activated.
In this case, remove water from an air vent valve
of a radiator until reaching pressure of 1 bar, or
ask for assistance from professionally qualied
personnel.
In the event of frequent pressure drops, contact
qualied sta for assistance to eliminate any
system leakage.
At the end of its service life the appliance must
not be disposed of like normal household waste
nor abandoned in the environment, but must
be removed by a professionally authorised
company. Contact the manufacturer for disposal
instructions.
2.3 CLEANING THE CASE.
