Adapting the unit to the heating installation 8 Burner anti-cycling time To prevent frequent switching on and off of the burner and thus prevent energy losses, an electronic restart lockout is activated for a specific period each time the burner is switched off.
8 Adapting the unit to the heating installation Setting the pump output The product is equipped with a speed-regulated high-effi- ciency pump, which adjusts independently to the hydraulic conditions of the heating installation. If you have installed a low loss header in the heating install- ation, you should switch off the speed regulation and set the pump output to a fixed value.
