In cascade operation, this function may only be
activated for the master controller. This function is blocked in the slave controller. The slave
controller sends its cold water temperature to
the master controller. If both stations are
active, the higher cold water temperature is
used as the switching value.

Sliding hot water temperature
Adjusts the domestic hot water target temperature
to the temperature level of the buffer tank for preheating systems that are discharged from the
Buffer tank without re-heating
(Tww target = TVL - 5 K).
This function works according to fixed parameters.
No further settings are required. If this function is
active in operation, this is symbolised by a flashing
temperature.
The function can only be activated or deactivated.
Fig. 24: Sliding hot water temperature
In cascading operation, this function is recommended only in exceptional cases because
high temperature fluctuations occur at the dispensing connection when switching the modules. If the function is selected despite this, it
must be activated in the master and slave controllers. The function works independently in
each of the controllers.

Thermal disinfection
The fresh water station provides higher domestic
hot water temperatures, in order to kill dangerous
germs. At the same time, the circulation pump is
activated, as long as the circulation function was
activated. If the circulation function was not activated, only the domestic hot water target temperature in the defined time window is increased to the
disinfection temperature.
