Downstream of the low loss header, select a domestic
hot water pump that is suitable for the domestic hot water
cylinder.
Connect the pump for the decoupled domestic hot water
circuit to the plug X13 for the main PCB.
Connect the temperature sensor for the low loss header
to plug X41 on the main PCB. Observe the instructions

Selecting the domestic hot water cylinder

The product can control an optional domestic hot water cylin-
der (recommended option for products with an output below
50 kW).
Use a low loss header for products that are connected to
a domestic hot water cylinder and have a domestic hot
water output requirement of over 50 kW, . (→ Page 13)
Use the following components to connect the domestic
hot water cylinder:

Selecting a low loss header

The low loss header disconnects the heat generator hydraul-
ically from the heating system. This prevents feed head in-
teractions between the individual circulation pumps. Further-
more, the low loss header ensures that a sufficient minimum
volume of water continuously circulates through the heat
generator.
Observe the information on treating heating water.
(→ Page 19)
If you cannot guarantee the conditions for treating
the heating water, install an external plate heat ex-
changer to protect the product.

Observe the instructions for the low loss header.
You do not require any electronic accessories when using
a low loss header. You can connect simple installations dir-
ectly inside the electronics box.
Observe the wiring diagram.
