1General Information
1.1 Scope of these instructions
These instructions describe the assembly of the switch valve set for the double cascade
of the FriwaMidi DN 20 and the FriwaMaxi DN 25.
The chapters called [specialist] are intended for specialists only.
The commissioning of the Friwa modules is described in the respective instructions of
the domestic hot water modules that are enclosed with the individual modules. For other
components of the installation, such as storage tanks, controllers or pumps, please observe
the instructions of the corresponding manufacturer.
1.2 About this product
The switch valve set for the Friwa-Kaskade includes the piping for one module, the cable
and two 2-way zone valves.
The motor-driven ball valves are DVGW certified and suitable for DHW modules.
In the manual mode, the ball valves can be opened and closed manually.
1.3 Designated use
The switch valve set is used to cascade two identically constructed domestic hot
water modules. The technical data specified in these instructions must be observed.
Improper usage excludes any liability claims.
Carefully read these instructions before installation and commissioning.
Save these instructions in the vicinity of the installation for future reference.

2Safety instructions

2Safety instructions
The installation and commissioning as well as the connection of electrical components require
technical knowledge commensurate with a recognised vocational qualification as a fitter for
plumbing, heating and air conditioning technology, or a profession requiring a comparable
level of knowledge [specialist].
The following must be observed during installation and commissioning:
•relevant local and national regulations
•accident prevention regulations of the professional association
•instructions and safety instructions of this manual
WARNING
Risk to life and limb due to electric shock!
Prior to commencing electrical work, pull the mains plug!
Only after completing all installation work, the mains plug of the
controller can be plugged into a socket. Thus, an unintentional start
of the motors is avoided.
NOTICE
Material damage due to mineral oils!
Mineral oil products cause lasting damage to seals made of EPDM, whereby the sealant
properties get lost. We do not assume liability nor provide warranty for damage to property
resulting from sealants damaged in this way.
It is imperative to avoid that EPDM gets in contact with substances containing
mineral oils.
Use a lubricant based on silicone or polyalkylene and free of mineral oils, such as
Unisilikon L250L and Syntheso Glep 1 of the Klüber company or a silicone spray.

3Product description
2021/11 9964042x21-mub-en - V02 5
3Product description
The switch valve set can only be mounted in domestic hot water modules of the type FriwaMidi
or Friwa Maxi from march 2013 on. For other domestic hot water modules, other assembly sets
must be used.
If you have any questions about the required spare parts for your installation, please keep the
serial number ready (it is placed in the lower right corner of the support sheet of the module).
NOTICE
Damage to property!
The location of installation must be dry, load-carrying, frost-proof and protected against
ultraviolet radiation, in order to prevent material damage of the installation.
3.1 Assembly and installation [specialist]
1. Remove the insulating front shell of
each module.
2. Close the piston valves (1) and (6)
of the domestic hot water circuit.
3. Drain the double bent pipe (2) in the cold
water inlet by opening the drain valve (3).
Use a hose for a controlled draining of
the liquid.
4. Actuate the pressure relief valve (4)
several times to vent the pipe.
5. Dismount the pipe (2) in the cold water
inlet of the module between the piston
valve (1) and the connection piece (5)
at the heat exchanger.

3Product description
6 9964042x21-mub-en - V02 2021/11
Procedure for one module:
1. Mount the short and straight pipe section (A) on the piston valve (1).
2. Screw the zone valve (B) on it in such a way that the actuator is aligned laterally.
The cable of the actuator must point downwards (flow AB, from the bottom to the top).
3. Screw the short end of the long double bent pipe (C) between the electro valve and the
elbow piece (3).
4. Firmly tighten all screw connections afterwards.
5. Connect the valve to the controller of the module (see page 7 ff.) and activate
the automatic operation mode (see the separate instructions of the zone valve).
6. Convert the other Friwa modules in the same way.
7. Connect the controllers of the cascade with the communication cable included
(see page 7 ff.).
NOTICE
Use the new gaskets included! Screw the thread connections at first manually and adjust
the pipes, in order to guarantee a low-tension installation.

3.2 Controller connection FC3.10
The following illustrations show how to connect the 2-way zone valves (switch valves)
electrically to the controller, and how to connect the controllers with each other in order to
establish a communication between them.
WARNING
Risk to life and limb due to electric shock!
Prior to commencing electrical work on the controller, pull the mains plug
and make sure that a restart is not possible.
Only after completing all installation work, plug the mains plug of the
controller into a socket. This avoids an unintentional start of the motors.

3Product description

1. Remove the white front panel (A) of the controller.
2. Remove the strain reliefs (B).
3. Remove the sensor cables of the VFS/US sensors, of the
PWM signal and of the temperature sensors from the
controller circuit board plug connector (C).
4. Unscrew the two screws to remove the intermediate
level (D).
5. Remove the strain relief on the 230 V level (E).
6. Connect the 2-way zone valve to the relay 1.
Observe the polarity of the connection:
Brown: Lconst
Black: L
Blue: N

3Product description
2021/11 9964042x21-mub-en - V02 9
7. If, in addition to the 2-way-zone valve, also the 3-way
valve for the stratification is meant to be connected to
the relay 2, connect both wires (Lconst) to "L" by means
of a duo wire end ferrule (twin wire end ferrule).
See controller instructions, chapter "stratification".
8. Mount the strain relief of the 230 V level and the
intermediate level.
9. Connect the controllers with each other via a bus line.
To do this, put the plug of the bus line into the socket
marked with "RS 485".
Recommendation:
Arrange the controllers from left to right in the following
order:
client, server 1, server 2, server 3.
Observe the controller instructions.
You will find a detailed description of the operation of the
controller and its functions in the controller instructions.

Cascade connection of the domestic hot water modules
The following illustration shows how you must connect the three domestic hot water modules via
two bus lines in a cascade connection.
Plug the jumper of the first and the last participant of the modbus communication into the plug
connector which is marked as "Pos. 2".
The jumper of the controller which is connected between the first and the last participant must be
plugged into the marked "Pos. 1" of the plug connector.
After that, mount the two strain reliefs and the front panel of the controller.
Set up the power supply of the installation and put the controller into operation according to the
controller instructions.
The following table shows the required positions of the jumpers, depending on the number of the
domestic hot water modules / cascade modules which are part of the cascade connection.
