Commissioning
General
The control units are factory-set to “Heating and DHW”.
Central heating
HBetween 06:00 and 22:00 h, the rooms are heated
to 68° F (20° C) “Set room temperature” (standard
heating mode).
HBetween 22:00 and 06:00 h, the rooms are heated
to 37.5° F (3° C) “Set red. room temp” (reduced
heating mode, frost protection).
HYour heating contractor can make further settings for
you during commissioning.
You can change any settings individually at any time
to suit your requirements (see chapter “Central heating”).
DHW heating
HOnly if the DHW tank is connected to the control unit.
Between 05:30 and 22:00 h, DHW is heated to 122° F
(50° C) “Set DHW temperature”. A DHW circulation
pump that may be installed is ON.
HBetween 22:00 and 05:30 h, the DHW tank
temperature will not be reheated. A DHW circulation
pump that may be installed is OFF.
HYour heating contractor can make further settings
for you during commissioning.
You can change any settings individually at any time
to suit your requirements (see chapter “DHW heating”).
The commissioning and matching of the control unit
to local conditions and building characteristics, as well
as instructing the user in the operation of the system,
must be carried out by your heating contractor.
Your Control Unit is Preset at the Factory
Wintertime/summertime changeover
HThis changeover is automatic.
Time and date
HThe day and time were set by your heating contractor
during commissioning.
Power failure
HAll data is saved if there is a power failure.
Terminology
To provide you with a better understanding of the
functions of your control unit, the appendix contains
the chapter “Terminology” (see page 34).

General
Tips on Saving Energy
Utilize the setting options for the control unit and remote
control (if installed):
HNever overheat your rooms. Every degree by which
the room temperature is reduced saves up to 6%
on heating costs.
Never set your room temperature higher than 68° F
(20° C) (see page 14).
HNever set the DHW temperature too high (see page 20).
HOnly activate the DHW circulation pump at times when
DHW is drawn off.
Set the time program for this (see page 15).
HSelect the heating program that meets your current
requirements:
– For short absences (e.g. shopping trips), select
“Economy mode” (see page 18).
As long as economy mode is activated, the room
temperature is reduced.
– If you are going away, set the “Holiday program”
(see page 18).
As long as the holiday program is activated, the room
temperature is reduced and DHW heating is off.
– In summer, if you don’t want to heat any rooms but
do need DHW, select the heating program “Only
DHW” (see page 17).
In conjunction with a solar thermal system:
DHW heating is set at the factory to start at 05:30 h.
On sunny days, the DHW tank receives sufficient
heat from the solar thermal system so that the DHW
temperature is still high enough the next morning.
You can program DHW heating to start at 10:00 h,
for example.
- If you don’t want to heat the rooms and you don’t
require DHW for an extended period, select the heating
program “Standby mode” (see page 12).
Contact your heating contractor for additional energy
saving functions offered by the control unit.
Further recommendations:
HCorrect ventilation/airing.
Briefly open windows fully and at the same time close
the thermostatic valves.
HClose roller shutters (if installed) at dusk.
HSet thermostatic valves correctly.
HNever cover radiators or thermostatic valves.
HControlled DHW consumption: A shower generally
uses less energy than a full bath.

HAutomatic mode is set at the factory for DHW heating.
This means that, in standard heating mode, the DHW
is reheated to the set temperature. To ensure that hot
water is available at the start of standard heating mode,
the time phase for DHW heating begins automatically
half an hour earlier than the time phase for standard
heating mode.
HIf you don’t want the automatic mode, you can select
up to 4 individual time phases per day for DHW heating,
which can be the same for every day of the week or
different. Set the start and end points for each time
phase.
HWhen setting, bear in mind that your heating system
