1.5 CONTROLS
1.5.1 Control device
The appliance may only work if it is connected to a control
device, selected from:
1. DDC control
2. external requests
1.5.2 DDC Controller
The DDC control is able to manage one or more Robur ap-
pliances in ON/OFF mode (GAHP heat pumps, GA chillers)
or modulating mode (AY boilers).
The main functions are:
▶ Adjustment and control of one (or more) Robur units
of the absorption line (GAHP, GA, AY).
▶ Data display and parameters setting.
▶ Time programming.
▶ Heating curve control.
▶ Diagnostics.
▶ Errors reset.
▶ Possibility to interface with a BMS.
DDC functionality may be extended with auxiliary Robur
devices RB100 and RB200 (e.g. service requests, DHW pro-
duction, third party generator control, probe control, sys-
tem valves or water pumps, ...).
For further details refer to the DDC, RB100, RB200
manuals and the design manual.
1.5.3 External requests
The appliance may also be controlled via generic request
devices (e.g. thermostats, clocks, switchs, contactors...) t-
ted with voltage-free NO contacts. This system only pro-
vides elementary control, without some of the important
functions of DDC control. Control of the cascade between
GAHP/GA and AY is dependent on the opening/closing
of the requests to the appliances making up the Gitié 2.0

ue gas condensate drain
Installation must also comply with the manufactur-
er's provisions.
4.2 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic installer must make the hydraulic connec-
tion circuit to the system.
The installer must provide for the construction of a suita-
bly sized hydraulic connection circuit, taking into account:
A. of the following indications:
Use pipes for heating/cooling systems, protected
from weathering and freezing, insulated for ther-
mal dispersion.
Sizing of the pipes, according to the supplied circu-
lator, must grant the nominal water ow required
for the correct operation of the system.
When using glycol water, take this into account
when selecting the pipe material and calculating
the additional pressure drop generated by the
presence of glycol (Paragraph 4.2.11.2 p.22 ).
B. of the residual head data reported in Paragraph
2 p.13 .
Connect the outlet of the boiler safety valve (Figure

4.2.1 Primary and secondary circuit
In many cases it is advisable to divide the hydraulic system
into two parts, primary and secondary circuit, uncoupled
by a hydraulic separator, or possibly by a tank that also
acts as inertial tank/buer.
See for example the diagrams in Paragraph 4.2.8 p.20 .
4.2.2 Minimum water content
High thermal inertia is conducive to ecient appliance
operation. Very short ON/OFF cycles are to be avoided.
▶ If necessary, provide for an inertial volume, to be suita-
bly sized (see design manual).

1 safety valve (3,5 bar)
1 expansion tank
The AY unit is equipped with its own 10 l internal
expansion tank and a safety valve, which in the
2-pipe version are also eective for the GAHP/
GA unit. Depending on the water content of the
system, assess the need for additional expansion
tanks.
4.2.7 System lling
For the calculation of the total water content to be
loadedin thesystemit is necessary toadd the water
content of the appliance (Paragraph 2.1 p. 13 )
and of the distribution terminals to the water con-
tent in the pipes and in other elements that make
up the system (tanks, hydraulic separators, etc.).
Proceed with the lling of the system as follows.
A lling tap on the system must be provided for ll-
ing the system.
At the rst power supply of the boiler and each
time the power supply is restored, an automatic
system venting cycle is activated. The display will
show the code F33 for the entire duration of the
cycle (5 minutes for the rst power supply, 2 min-
utes for the following ones).
To access the display of the boiler, remove the front
panel of the boiler, as shown in Figure 6.2 p.31 .
4.2.7.1 GA ACF
How to ll up the system
After completing all water, electrical and gas
connections:
1. Pressurise (at least 1,5 bar) and vent the hydraulic
circuit.
2. Let water ow (with burner o) by activating the
service request and deactivating it before the
burner is ignited.
3. Check and clean the lter on the inlet pipe.
4. Repeat items 1, 2 and 3 until the pressure has stabi-
lised (at least 1,5 bar).
4.2.7.2 AY 35
