4.5Domestic hot water control
4.5.1About domestic hot water control
Depending on the DHW tank mode (installer setting), you use a
different domestic hot water control:
▪ Reheat mode
▪ Scheduled mode
▪ Scheduled + reheat mode
CAUTION
The booster heater permission schedule is used to restrict
or allow booster heater operation based on a weekly
program. Advice: In order to avoid unsuccessful
disinfection function, at least allow the booster heater (by
the weekly program) for minimum 4hours starting from the
scheduled start-up of disinfection. If the booster heater is
restricted during disinfection, this function will NOT be
successful and the applicable warning AH will be
generated.
INFORMATION
In case of error code AH and no interruption of the
disinfection function occurred due to domestic hot water
tapping, following actions are recommended:
▪ When the Domestic hot water > Type > Reheat or
Reheat + sched. is selected, it is recommended to
program the start-up of the disinfection function at least
4 hours later than the last expected large hot water
tapping. This start-up can be set by installer settings
(disinfection function).
▪ When the Domestic hot water > Type > Scheduled only
is selected, it is recommended to program a Storage
eco 3 hours before the scheduled start-up of the
disinfection function to preheat the tank.
Only change this if the desired room
temperature cannot be reached.

5Setting the energy prices
If your system's savings mode is set to Economical, it allows you to
set:
▪ a fixed fuel price
▪ 3 electricity price levels
▪ a weekly schedule timer for electricity prices.
The savings mode is set by the installer and can be either ecological
or economical. In ecological mode, the primary energy use is
minimised; in economical mode, the running costs. Discuss with the
installer which savings mode is preferred. Refer to the installation
manual for more information.
Example: How to set the energy prices on the user interface?
PriceValue in breadcrumb
Fuel: 5.3euro cent/kWh[7.4.6]=5.3
Fuel: 4.8pence/kWh[7.4.6]=4.8
Electricity: 12euro cent/kWh[7.4.5.1]=12
Electricity: 12.49pence/kWh[7.4.5.1]=12

Leaving water temperature: Delta T source [A.3.1.3]
The values for High, Medium and Low correspond with the
electricity price values for High, Medium and Low
previously set. If no schedule is set, the electricity price for
High is taken into account.
5.4About energy prices in case of an
incentive per kWh renewable
energy
An incentive can be taken into account when setting the energy
prices. Although the running cost can increase, the total operation
cost, taking into account the reimbursement will be optimized.
NOTICE
Make sure to modify the setting of the energy prices at the
end of the incentive period.
5.4.1To set the fuel price in case of an
incentive per kWh renewable energy
Prerequisite: Calculate the value for the fuel price with the following
formula: actual fuel price+(incentive/kWh×0.9)
1 Go to [7.4.6]: > User settings > Preset values > Fuel price.
2 Use and to set the correct price.
3 Press to confirm.
5.4.2To set the electricity price in case of an
incentive per kWh renewable energy
Prerequisite: Calculate the value for the electricity price with
following formula: actual electricity price+incentive/kWh.
1 Go to [7.4.5]: > User settings > Preset values > Elec price.
2 Use and to set the correct prices for High, Medium and
Low, according to your electricity tariff.
Tips about room temperature
▪ Make sure the desired room temperature is NEVER too high (in
heating mode) or too low (in cooling mode), but ALWAYS
according to your actual needs. Each saved degree can save up
to 6% of heating/cooling costs.
▪ Do NOT increase the desired room temperature to speed up
space heating. The space will NOT heat up faster.
▪ When your system layout contains slow heat emitters (example:
under floor heating), avoid large fluctuation of the desired room
temperature and do NOT let the room temperature drop too low. It
will take more time and energy to heat up the room again.
▪ Use a weekly schedule for your normal space heating or cooling
needs. If necessary, you can easily deviate from the schedule:
▪ For shorter periods: You can overrule the scheduled room
temperature. Example: When you have a party, or when you
are leaving for a couple of hours.
▪ For longer periods: You can use the holiday mode. Example:
When you stay at home during your holiday, or when you go
away during your holiday.
Tips about leaving water temperature
▪ In heating mode, a lower desired leaving water temperature
results in lower energy consumption and better performance. In
cooling, the opposite is valid.
▪ Set the desired leaving water temperature in accordance with the
heat emitter type. Example: Underfloor heating is designed for
lower leaving water temperature than radiators and heat pump
convectors.

7 Maintenance and service
Tips about DHWtank temperature
▪ Use a weekly schedule for your normal domestic hot water needs
(only in scheduled mode).
▪ Program to heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Storage
comfort = higher DHW tank temperature) during the night,
because then space heating demand is lower.
▪ If heating up the DHW tank once at night is not sufficient,
program to additionally heat up the DHWtank to a preset value
(Storage eco = lower DHWtank temperature) during the day.
▪ Make sure the desired DHWtank temperature is NOT too high.
Example: After installation, lower the DHWtank temperature daily
by 1°C and check if you still have enough hot water.
▪ Program to turn ON the domestic hot water pump only during
periods of the day when instant hot water is necessary. Example:
In the morning and evening.
7Maintenance and service
7.1Overview: Maintenance and
service
The installer has to perform a yearly maintenance. You can find the
contact/helpdesk number via the user interface.
As enduser, you have to:
▪ Keep the area around the unit clean.
▪ Keep the user interface clean with a soft damp cloth. Do NOT use
any detergents.
▪ Regularly check if the water pressure indicated on the manometer
is above 1bar.
Refrigerant
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent
gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R410A
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 2087.5
NOTICE
In Europe, the greenhouse gas emissions of the total
refrigerant charge in the system (expressed as tonnes
CO2-equivalent) is used to determine the maintenance
intervals. Follow the applicable legislation.
