Installation
The SATK22 HIU is designed for installation in a sheltered domestic environment (or similar), therefore it cannot be installed or
used outdoors, i.e. in areas directly exposed to the weather. Outdoor installation may cause malfunctioning and hazards.
If the appliance is enclosed inside or between cabinets, sufficient space must be provided for routine maintenance procedures.
It is NOT recommended to place electrical devices underneath the HIU, as they may become damaged in the event of leaks
occurring at the hydraulic fittings. If this advice is not heeded, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any resulting
damage.
In the event of a malfunction, fault or incorrect operation, the appliance should be de-activated; contact a qualified technician for
assistance.
Before installation, it is recommended to carry out a thorough flushing of all the pipe work in order to remove any debris or
impurities that could prevent the correct operation of the HIU.
In order to facilitate these operations a manual bypass flushing valve is available (Code 789110).
NOTE:
When the first fix bracket is not used we recommend installing manual shut-off valves, especially on the connections to the primary
line, thus allowing any necessary maintenance work to be carried out without having to empty the centralised system.
Hydraulic connections - reversibility
Installation of the SATK22 heat interface unit is reversible (top down) with the exception of the LOW temperature Unit SATK2210.
Installation in the two positions is possible with or without the first fix bracket Code 789023.
Installation with Mounting Bracket
Ensure the wall is structurally suitable for mounting the HIU, follow the instruction below.
• Using the mounting bracket as a template mark the position of the holes required to secure the HIU to the wall. Ensure the
mounting bracket is horizontal.
• Hang the HIU onto the wall bracket and secure to the wall using the fixing holes provided.
• Mark the position of the hydraulic connections
Check the measurements again and based on the above connection diagram and the dimensions shown on page 3, proceed with the
installation of the following lines:
1 connection to the central system line
2 heating circuit connection
3 domestic water circuit connection
NOTE:
We recommend installing manual shut-off valves, especially on the connections to the primary lines, thus allowing any necessary
maintenance work to be carried out without having to empty the centralised system.
Before installation, it is recommended to carry out thorough flushing of all the pipes of the system in order to remove any residue or
debris that could endanger correct operation of the HIU.
In order to facilitate these operations a manual bypass flushing valve is available (code 789110).

Heat meter installation
The HIU is designed to house a compact heat meter (with
incorporated return probe) with 1” threaded connections and
length of 130 mm.
Before carrying out any maintenance, repair or part
replacement work, proceed as follows:
• Switch off the electric supply
• Remove the cover
• Close the shut-off valves
• Drain the HIU using the drain cocks provided
• Remove the spool piece (A)
• Remove the cap (B)
• Install the flow meter on the return pipe. To tighten the nuts
apply maximum tightening torque of 25 Nm, taking account
of the recommendations of the heat meter manufacturer.
• Install the flow probe in the M10 pocket (B).
Please refer to the heat meter technical data sheets for further
information.
Electrical Installation
Connecting to the electricity supply
The HIU is supplied with an electric supply cable which is not
fitted with a plug.
The appliance should be electrically connected to a 230 V (ac)
single-phase + earth mains supply using the three-wire cable
marked with the label as specified below, observing the LIVE (L)
- NEUTRAL (N) polarities and the earth connection. This line
must be connected to an On/OFF switch.

Electrical Installation Continued
Connecting to the electricity supply
To extend the cable if necessary, use a flexible cable suitable for
kitchen and heating appliances and for home, kitchen and
office installations, also in humid environments subject to
medium levels of mechanical stress (e.g. H05V2V2-F: Uo/U
300/500 V). Cable minimum cross-section 3 x 0.
Make sure that the electrical system can withstand the
maximum power consumption of the HIU, with particular
emphasis on the cross-section of the wires.
If you have any doubts, contact a qualified technician to
request a thorough check of the electrical system.
Electrical safety of the appliance is only achieved when it is
correctly connected to an effective earthing system,
constructed as specified in current safety regulations. This is a
compulsory safety requirement. Observe the applicable
regulations in force in the country of installation.
Use the cable pathway provided, as shown in figure 1.
75 mm2.
Optional electrical connections
The electronic circuit board has a door on the front providing
access to terminal boards for optional wiring (see chapter
“Electronic Circuit Board” on page 22).
The connections in question are all low voltage or
potential-free.
Any wiring must be directed toward the exterior of the HIU,
using the pathways provided in the insulation and on the frame
(the one that is not used for routing the electric supply cable,
see figure 2).
All these lines can be routed through a single dedicated
raceway, separate from the 230 V electric cable one and
anyway separate from any other live cables.
Remote user interface connection
The HIU user interface has the dual function of control device
and room thermostat.
The remote user interface can be installed on cover of the HIU
or in the room in a position where the temperature
measurements will be of significance for control of the heating
function (in a heated room in a position where the temperature
read by the thermostat is not affected by any nearby heat
sources).
Installation on the cover of the HIU
If the remote user interface is fitted in the dedicated location
on the cover of the HIU, the thermostat function must be
disabled (in this case an external thermostat must be used, as
described in the next section).
The adjacent figures show how to install the remote control
unit:
• Feed the cable from the regulator through the hole in the
cover (3).
• Feed the cable from the regulator through the rear of the
interface (4).
• Connect the two wires to the terminals on the electronic
circuit board (the cable is not polarised) (5).
• Close the remote user interface and position it in its
housing on the cover (6), (7); if necessary, secure the
user interface from inside the cover by means of self
tapping screws and washers.
• Plug in the connector (8).
The thermostat function is enabled by default (refer to the
remote control user manual for disabling it).

Installation in the room
Use the cable outlet provided for connecting the remote user
interface to the electronic circuit board.
The chrono-thermostat function has to be enabled through the
remote control.
Refer to the dedicated user manual for the procedure.
Use of an external room thermostat
An external room thermostat, if installed, must be with
potential-free contact.
The external thermostat has to be connected to the terminals
“RT” shown in the adjacent figure.
The terminals can be accessed by removing the door on the
HIU electronic regulator (see page 22).
In case the thermostat function of the remote user interface is
enabled, any external thermostat will work in parallel
(management of different temperature zones).
Alternatively, when the thermostat function of the remote user
interface is disabled, the interface can be used to define the
hourly programming of the space heating function for all
thermostats connected to the terminal “RT”.
Refer to the user interface dedicated manual.
Commissioning
Filling the central heating system

To set the flow temperature press the <SET> key until the
symbol in the red circle appears. Use the <R> knob to change
the value.
The flow temperature range is:
25–45˚C for SATK2210. (LOW temperature)
45–75˚C for SATK2203. (MEDIUM temperature)
Default Setting: set point regulation
(technical parameter t01 = 0)
When heating cycle activation is requested by the room
thermostat, the circulation pump is powered while the mixing
valve is opened gradually until the set point temperature is
reached. I
In the high temperature models (SATK2230 - SATK2240) the
valve is opened up to the maximum allowed (see Primary Flow
Rate Limitation on page 17)."
The circulation pump is stopped and the modulating valve is
closed at the end of the heating cycle. The heating cycle ON
condition is indicated by the blinking symbol.
When heating cycle activation is requested by the room
thermostat, the circulation pump is powered while the mixing
valve is opened gradually until the set point temperature is
reached (in SATK2230 and SATK2240 the valve is open fully, up
to the maximum allowed), if the return temperature is lower
than or equal to the set limit value.
In case this condition is not met, in HIUs with control of the
flow temp.(SATK2210 and SATK2220) the flow temperature is
reduced (by a maximum of 15˚C in SATK2220, and maximum
3˚C in SATK2210, in order to bring return temperature within
the limit values.
In SATK2230 and SATK2204 a reduction of the heating flow
rate is operated. When the flow temperature/flow rate must be
reduced in order to limit return, the icon appears on the
display.
To set the flow temperature press the <SET> button until the

(SATK2210 & SATK2220)
When the function is enabled, the flow temperature is modified
(±10°C with respect to the set point for HIU in HIGH
temperature, ±3°C if in LOW temperature) according to the
temperature detected by the return probe in order to maintain
this latter temperature value constant.
This keeps the actual thermal output of the slab under control,
and consequently also the ambient thermal load. The thermal
response time of the system is thus minimised.
This feature should not be used in combination with
thermostatic radiator valves.
When the function is enabled the display shows the symbol
When the function is enabled, the flow temperature is
calculated based on the temperature detected by the outside
probe (optional), in accordance with the curve shown below.
The “k” coefficient can be changed by pressing <SET> button
until the related setting appears.
The display shows the symbol .
(*) if these set points cannot be changed you must set

SATK22
DHW Function
The DHW cycle always takes priority over the heating cycle.
DEFAULT SETTING: fixed DHW set point (parameter t06=0)
When DHW cycle activation is requested, due to DHW tapping
by the user (detected by the domestic water flow meter), the
regulator modulates the valve opening in order to adjust the
temperature detected by the domestic water probe to the
selected set point value. When tapping ends, the modulating
valve is fully closed.
The DHW cycle ON condition is indicated by the blinking
symbol.
When DHW cycle activation is requested, due to DHW tapping
by the user (detected by the domestic water flow meter), the
regulator modulates the valve opening in order to adjust the
temperature detected by the domestic water probe to the
DHW set point value if the return temperature is less than or
equal to the set limit. If this condition is not met, the flow
temperature is reduced (by a maximum of 7°C down to a
temperature that can be no less than 40°C), in order to bring
return temperature within the limit values.
Due to the activation of the return temperature limitation
function, the DHW temperature can be lower than the set
value.
DHW/primary return limit temperature setting
To set the DHW temperature press the <SET> key until the
symbol in the red circle appears; for the return temperature
limit press the key until the symbols in the green circle are
displayed. Use the <R> knob to change the value (*).
The range of possible DHW temperatures is 42–60°C, while the
range of possible return temperatures is 15–45°C.
(*) if these set points cannot be changed you must set parameter t07 to value 0 in the technical menu (see “access to technical
menu” below). Parameter t07 = 1 “freezes” the operating set points to prevent inadvertent modifications by the user.

DHW Comfort Function - Pre-heat, DHW Re-circulation
The comfort function can be, alternatively, preheating of the
DHW plate heat exchanger or management of DHW
recirculation. They are enabled by setting to ON or PROG the
comfort function (see page 12).
DEFAULT SETTING: DHW exchanger preheating function
(parameter t02 = 0) During periods when the domestic water
cycle is not used, if the DHW probe detects a temperature 10˚C
below the SET value, the regulator partially opens the domestic
hot water modulating valve for the time required (max. 5 min.)
to bring the exchanger to the condition wherein it can assure
rapid DHW production.
The active pre-heating cycle is indicated by the blinking
symbol. This function is of lower priority than any domestic
water or heating cycles.
OPTIONAL SETTING: management of DHW recirculation in the
apartment (parameter t02 = 1)
In alternative to the DHW comfort function it is possible to
manage DHW recirculation, using a similar logic. During
periods when the domestic water cycle is not used, if the DHW
probe detects a temperature 10˚C below the SET value, by
means of an auxiliary microswitch (see page 17), the regulator
closes the circuit supplying the circulation pump (not supplied)
generating a DHW cycle lasting for a pre-set amount of time.
This amount of time is pre-set to 2 minutes. It can be changed
by acting on parameter t09 on the technical menu (1 unit = 10
seconds).
The circulator has to be fed through the auxiliary microswitch
so that the control of recirculation is carried out by the heat
interface unit. DHW recirculation (t02=1) disables the other
functions operating on the auxiliary microswitch described on
page 17. Refer to page 17 for the electrical characteristics of the
microswitch.
Both comfort functions can be enabled according to user
defined weekly time programming. Refer to the remote user
interface manual
Anti-Legionella Function
DEFAULT SETTING: anti-legionella function OFF (technical
parameter t08 = 0)
Enabling the anti-legionella function by means of technical
parameter t08 = 1, in time band 3:00 - 3:30:
• the DHW set point will be temporarily increased to the
maximum value (60˚C) - the comfort/recirculation function
will be forced ON.
As a result of the temperature rise of the set point, at time 3:00
a comfort function (either pre-heating or recirculation) will be
triggered, bringing the temperature to a value close to 60˚C,
such as to rapidly reduce the presence of any bacteria.
During execution of the cycle, the user interface display will
show the blinking symbol (refer to the adjacent figure).
IMPORTANT!
• Any DHW production that occurs during the time band
(3:00 -3:30) will be at 60°C.
• The cycle execution time band (3:00 - 3:30) is established
in accordance with the time set on the remote control unit.
Incorrect time setting will result in execution of the
anti-legionella function in a different actual time band.
Due to the effect of exchanger thermal inertia, temporary
DHW production at high temperature could proceed also
beyond the time of 3:30.
If the function is enabled thermostatic mixing valves should
be installed on the users level (washbasin/shower, etc.).

Primary Flow Rate Limitation
Primary flow rate limitation in heating mode.
DEFAULT SETTING: no limitation (technical parameter t03 =
100)
During start-up of the heating cycle from cold, e.g. on change
over from night-time ambient set point to the daytime set
point, the HIU may demand a significantly higher primary flow
rate than the design one, because of the low temperatures of
the secondary medium.
This effect is far greater with high temperature systems in
which, during the transient to the design operating condition,
high thermal power values may be transferred from the primary
circuit to the secondary circuit. This effect can be restricted by
lengthening the transient, setting a limit on the maximum
primary flow rate that can be withdrawn in heating mode.
The flow rate limitation is imposed by controlling the
maximum opening of the primary circuit modulating valve.
The relationship between the degree of opening (%) and Kv of
the circuit that connects the primary flow to the secondary
flow is shown in the graphs.
Primary flow rate limitation in DHW mode.
DEFAULT SETTING: no limitation (technical parameter t04 =
100)
Likewise, you can establish a limit to the primary flow rate that
can be tapped for instantaneous DHW production.
The flow rate limitation is imposed by controlling the
maximum opening of the primary circuit modulating valve.
Since latter is controlled by a differential pressure limiter, it is
possible to supply direct correspondence between the opening
position of the valve and the circulating flow rate (*).
N.B. Any limitation must be assessed in accordance with the
effective thermal characteristics of the residential unit served.
(*) The correspondence between valve position and flow rate is
indicative. Graphs obtained with pressure head upstream of the
HIU = 50 kPa.

Circulator - Curves and Settings
The HIU is equipped with a Grundfos circulator model UPM3
AUTO-L 15-70.
By default, the circulator setting is with the maximum
proportional head characteristic.
Pressing the front key briefly produces the sequence of LEDs
corresponding to the selected hydraulic characteristic. A couple
of seconds after pressing the key, the circulator again produces
a sequence of LEDs showing the instantaneous power
consumption:
• 1 yellow LED lit: power between 0 and 25% of P
• 2 yellow LEDs lit: power between 25 and 50% of P
• 3 yellow LEDs lit: power between 50 and 75% of P
• 4 yellow LEDs lit: power between 75 and 100% of P
To change the characteristic, hold down the front key for more
than two seconds and then press the same key repeatedly until
reaching the required characteristic (refer to the adjacent
figure).
Having identified the required characteristic (head - flow rate
chart shown below) wait for about ten seconds for the setting
to be accepted by the circulator, which will then revert to the
sequence of LEDs showing power consumption.
A long press of the front key (>10 seconds) locks the pump
setting, preventing possible incorrect modifications of the
curve.
Unlocking can be done in the same way, with a long press
(>10 s) of the front key.

Auxiliary Microswitch
The HIU is equipped with a contact, driven by a relay
incorporated in the circuit board, the intervention logic of
which can be programmed in accordance with requirements by
setting technical parameter t05.
Each event linked to operation of the HIU is linked to a
numerical value, according to the following table:
Events - ConditionsValue
DHW tapping in progress1
Heating cycle in progress2
Comfort cycle (pre-heating/recirculation) in progress4
HIU OFF8
Error not active16
Error active32
Closing of the contact on the occurrence of multiple events
conditions is programmed by setting parameter t05 to a value
corresponding to the sum of the single events/conditions.
We give some practical examples below:
example 1 - Driving an external primary flow pump, normally
OFF.
The contact must be closed if any HIU function is active (DHW
production, heating, pre-heating)
Parameter t05 must be set to: 1 + 2 + 4 = 7
example 2 - Distinction of consumption for DHW production
from total consumption (in combination with heat meter
equipped with dedicated function)
The contact must be closed both if DHW tapping is in progress
and if activation of the comfort function is requested
(pre-heating or recirculation).
Parameter t05 must be set to 1 + 4 = 5.
Closing of the microswitch is shown on the user interface by
the symbols shown alongside.
N.B. if the DHW recirculation function is enabled with t02 = 1
(see page 16) the auxiliary microswitch intervention logic
described above is not operational. In this case, the contact is
used to control the recirculation pump.
Connection
For information on how to access the dedicated terminals,
consult the “Electronic Circuit Board” section on page 22.
N.B.: the auxiliary microswitch can be used to drive electric
loads directly, taking account of the following operating limits:
Max. voltage:230 V ac
Max.current:3 A
If the electric load to be controlled is not included within the
parameters indicated an external relay must be interposed.

Modbus
The HIU offers a remote connectivity solution by means an
RS-485 wired network and Mod-Bus communication protocol.
On request, Altecnic will supply a map of the Mod-Bus registers
and data transmission specifications so the product can be
integrated in an existing BMS system.
The RS-485 communication network should be preferably
constructed in compliance with the prescriptions of standard
EIA RS-485.
Any other configuration of the physical layer is at the discretion
of the BMS system operator, which will assume responsibility
for checking the implications in terms of transmission quality.
In particular, it is essential to use a two-wire twisted cable.
Compliance with this requirement becomes even more
significant the more extensive the RS-485 network.
If, alternatively, a shielded wire is used, the shield must be
connected solely on the master side.
As a guideline, take account of the following general
prescriptions to ensure optimal transmission quality:
• use a BUS cable with impedance of around 120 Ohm;
• connect a terminal resistor, having same impedance as the
cable, at each end of the RS-485 cable;
• keep the length of side branches as short as possible.
The device is configured by default to support a
communication speed of 9600 baud/s with parity “none”.
The communication speed can be changed via Modbus, to the
following values: 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 baud/s.

Safety and Alarms
If the electronic circuit board detects a fault, the display shows
the error code concerned and the symbol .
HIUs configured to support low temperature heating
continuously monitor the safety thermostat controlling the
flow temperature.
If the safety thermostat is activated during a general cycle,
the heating circulation pump immediately comes to a stop
and the modulating valve is completely closed.
After the user has removed the block imposed by the safety
thermostat, operation can only be re-enabled when the
modulating valves are completely closed again.
This means that if a domestic water cycle is in progress, the
activation of the shut-off valve will be postponed until the
end of that domestic water cycle.
Corrective action
To restore the operating mode press the manual RESET
button.
Corrective action
Normal operating conditions are restored automatically once
the faulty probe is working properly again (see page 25 “Temperature probe replacement”).
Normal operating conditions are restored automatically once
the faulty safety valve works properly again.
Heat interface unit disabled
Error code: 80
The HIU is disabled due to an incorrect connection on the
circuit board front terminals or due to an input from an
external device indicating zero credit.
Corrective action
Check the electrical connections or, in the case of zero credit,
top-up the external device/contact the service supplier.

Electronic Circuit Board
Optional connections
The electronic circuit board has a front door (shown in the
adjacent figure) that provides access to the connectors related
to HIU optional functions.
N.B. before working on the circuit board you must disconnect
the electric supply to the HIU.
All the terminals are mounted on removable connectors to
facilitate wiring operations.
The following services are accessible:
• External probe for outside compensated
temperature regulation
Use optional probe code 789833
• External room thermostat
IMPORTANT! The connection is volt free. Do not
connect powered contacts.
• Interface with pre-paid services
In case the HIU has to be interfaced with controllers
PREPAID managing the heating and DHW
production services by means of “pre-paid” type
logic.
The HIU interprets an open contact as “credit
available”. Closing the contact disables the heating
and DHW production services. When this condition
occurs the user interface display shows error “E80”.
IMPORTANT! The connection is volt free.
Do not connect powered contacts.
If the controller that manages the pre-paid service
supplies a powered contact, a relay must be
interposed.
Auxiliary contact
