UMP START EVERY
To protect the pump from getting stuck at a certain position it is forced to run for 10 seconds every 24 hours. This
is done only for the water heater loop pump at the start-up of the board.
F
14.7.2
ROST PROTECTION
The Frost protection function protects the water heater and water heater loop from freezing.
The T_Supply and T_Return sensors are checked for generating a Frost protection demand.
• When any of the sensors drop below FP_Start_Pump the water heater loop pump is switched ON.
• When any of the sensors drop below FP_Start_Burn the water heater is fired.
• When all of the sensors measure above FP_Stop the Frost protection demand is ended.
When the demand for Frost protection is ended the pumps will post-circulate for DHW_Pump_Overrun.
Parameters are factory set: FP_Start_Pump is set at 10°C (50°F) and FP_Start_Burn is set at 5°C (41°F)
