If you smell gas

Danger

Escaping gas can lead to explosions which may
result in serious injury.

■

Do not smoke. Prevent naked flames and
sparks. Never switch lights or electrical appli­ances on or off.

■

Close the gas shut-off valve.

■

Open windows and doors.

■

Evacuate any people from the danger zone.

■

Notify your gas or electricity supply utility from
outside the building.

■

Have the power supply to the building shut off
from a safe place (outside the building).

If you smell flue gas

Danger

Flue gas can lead to life threatening poisoning.

■

Shut down the heating system.

■

Ventilate the installation site.

■

Close doors to living spaces to prevent flue
gases from spreading.

What to do if water escapes from the appliance

Flue systems and combustion air

Ensure that flue systems are clear and cannot be
sealed, for instance due to accumulation of conden­sate or other external causes.
Ensure an adequate supply of combustion air.
Inform system users that subsequent modifications to
the building characteristics are not permissible (e.g.
cable/pipework routing, cladding or partitions).

Danger

Leaking or blocked flue systems, or an inade­quate supply of combustion air can cause life
threatening poisoning from carbon monoxide in
the flue gas.
Ensure the flue system is in good working order.
Vents for supplying combustion air must be non­sealable.

Extractors

Operating appliances that exhaust air to the outside
(extractor hoods, extractors, air conditioning units, etc.)
can create negative pressure. If the boiler is operated
at the same time, this can lead to a reverse flow of flue
gas.

Danger

If water escapes from the appliance there is a
risk of electrocution.
Switch OFF the heating system at the external
isolator (e.g. fuse box, domestic distribution
board).

Danger

If water escapes from the appliance there is a
risk of scalding.
Never touch hot heating water.

Condensate

Danger

Contact with condensate can be harmful to
health.
Never let condensate touch your skin or eyes
and do not swallow it.

Danger

The simultaneous operation of the boiler and
appliances that exhausts air to the outside can
result in life threatening poisoning due to a
reverse flow of flue gas.
Fit an interlock circuit or take suitable steps to
ensure an adequate supply of combustion air.

Variable speed circulation pump with PWM control

Whenever a demand is present, a voltage of 230 V∼
must always be applied to output P1. The pump speed
is governed by means of a control signal via PWM
connection.
If the PWM connection is interrupted, the circulation
pump must be switched off. If the circulation pump
runs at maximum speed when the PWM connection is
interrupted, an incorrect circulation pump has been
installed.

The multi stage circulation pump is switched on and off
via output P1.

Function description

Solar DHW heating

Function description

Note

Set or alter the functions described below in the
parameters in the "Solar" group.

The solar circuit pump is switched off if one of the fol­lowing criteria is met:

■

The temperature differential between the cylinder

temperature and the collector temperature is smaller
The solar circuit pump is switched on according to the
following criteria, resulting in the DHW being heated:

■

The temperature differential between the cylinder
temperature and the collector temperature is greater
than the start temperature differential set in parame­ter 1492.0.

■

The minimum collector temperature set in parameter

1126.0 is exceeded.

than the stop temperature differential set in parame-

ter 1492.1.

■

The maximum cylinder temperature (set DHW tem-

perature) set in parameter 1125.0 is exceeded.

■

The maximum collector temperature set in parameter

1126.1 is exceeded.

■

The temperature set at the high limit safety cut-out (if

installed) is exceeded.

Suppression of DHW cylinder reheating by the boiler

Reheating is suppressed in 2 stages:

■

Reheating of the DHW cylinder by the boiler is sup­pressed as soon as the DHW cylinder is heated by
the collectors. For this, the set DHW temperature for
reheating by the boiler is reduced. Suppression
remains active for a certain time after the solar circuit
pump has stopped.

■

When the collectors provide continuous heating
(> 2 h):
The DHW cylinder will only be heated by the boiler if
the third set DHW temperature is not achieved by the
solar thermal system.
The third set DHW temperature is specified by
parameter 1394.0 in the "Solar" group. This value
must be below the first set DHW temperature.

Maximum collector temperature

If the maximum collector temperature set in parameter

1126.1 is exceeded, the solar circuit pump is switched
off to protect the system components (emergency col­lector shutdown).

Minimum collector temperature limit

The solar circuit pump is started when the minimum
collector temperature set in parameter 1126.0 is
exceeded.

Reduction of stagnation time

If there is an excess of solar energy, the speed of the
solar circuit pump is reduced before the maximum cyl­inder temperature is reached (parameter 1125.0). This
causes an increase in the differential between collector
temperature and cylinder temperature. The heat trans­fer to the DHW cylinder is reduced, which delays stag­nation.

The solar circuit pump will restart when the collector
temperature falls to 20 K below the set value.

Appendix

The temperature differential for reducing the stagna­tion time can be adjusted in parameter 1505.
This function can only be implemented in systems with
a variable speed solar circuit pump.

Function description

Function description (cont.)

Collector frost protection

Viessmann collectors are filled with Viessmann heat
transfer medium. Consequently, this function does not
need to be enabled.
Only enable it if water is used as the heat transfer
medium.

Relay kick

To prevent the pumps and valves from seizing up, they
are started for about 10 s every 24 h.

To prevent damage to the collectors, the solar circuit
pump is switched on if the collector temperature falls
below +5 °C. The pump is switched off when +7 °C is
reached.
Note parameter 1127.0.
