1 General Information Carefully read these instructions before installation and commissioning. Save these instructions in the vicinity of the installation for future reference. 1 General Information Scope of these instructions These instructions describe the installation, commissioning, function and operation of the domestic hot water modules FriwaMidi and FriwaMaxi. The chapters called [specialist] are intended for specialists only.
Due to its design, the station must be mounted and operated in a vertical position! The technical data specified in these instructions must be observed. Only use PAW accessories with the domestic hot water module. Improper usage excludes any liability claims.
2 Safety instructions 2 Safety instructions The installation and commissioning as well as the connection of electrical components require technical knowledge commensurate with a recognised vocational qualification as a fitter for plumbing, heating and air conditioning technology, or a profession requiring a comparable level of knowledge [specialist].

4 Dimensioning and planning 4 Dimensioning and planning The FriwaMidi and FriwaMaxi are domestic hot water modules which heat potable water operating on the principle of a flow-type water heater. The FriwaMidi and FriwaMaxi can only work flawlessly if the installation meets certain requirements.
4 Dimensioning and planning Dimensioning of the tank Thanks to the following table, you can calculate the approximately required volume of the buffer tank. Temperature in Domestic hot water Required tank volume the buffer tank temperature set at per litre of hot water the controller 50 °C 45 °C...
5 Circulation mode 5 Circulation mode The domestic hot water modules FriwaMidi and FriwaMaxi are optionally equipped with a circulation pump. The FriwaMidi and FriwaMaxi without circulation can be subsequently equipped with a circulation set (item no. 640412). Three different operating modes of the circulation pump are set at the controller (see controller instructions, menu "Func"...
6 Assembly and installation [specialist] 6 Assembly and installation [specialist] The domestic hot water modules FriwaMidi and FriwaMaxi must only be connected to the storage tank by separate connections for the flow and return. External pumps must not be installed between the domestic hot water module and the buffer tank. The circulation of water causes considerable temperature fluctuations.

7 Commissioning [specialist] 7 Commissioning [specialist] Note! Slowly open the valves in the pipes and in the module, in order to prevent pressure surges. Functioning check valve The ball valves (A) and (N) in the primary circuit are equipped with a check valve, in order to avoid unwanted gravity circulation.
7 Commissioning [specialist] Filling the primary circuit WARNING Danger of scalding due to hot water! The system is under pressure. By opening the vent valve, hot water with a temperature of up to 90 °C may exit and cause personal injury. ...
7 Commissioning [specialist] Commissioning of the controller WARNING Risk to life and limb due to electric shock! Check if the sensors and the pumps are properly connected to the controller and if the controller housing is closed. Only under these circumstances, the mains plug of the controller can be plugged into a socket.

7 Commissioning [specialist] Open a withdrawal point for domestic hot water (for example a tap) with a flow rate of at least 10 l/min and let the water run for about 2 minutes to deaerate the secondary circuit. Close all withdrawal points in the secondary circuit afterwards.
7 Commissioning [specialist] Maximum withdrawal flow rate The following diagram illustrates the maximum withdrawal flow rate depending on the tank temperature with a preset hot water temperature of 45 °C at the tap. The integrated control avoids temperature drops as long as the maximum flow rate is not exceeded. Domestic hot water temperature: 45 °C FriwaMaxi Temperature buffer tank...

7 Commissioning [specialist] The following diagram illustrates the maximum withdrawal flow rate at a hot water temperature of 45 °C at the tap, after the addition of cold water of 10 °C. The domestic hot water temperature set at the controller is of 60 °C. Domestic hot water temperature: 45 °C after heating to 60 °C and addition of cold water (10 °C)
7 Commissioning [specialist] Setting the temperature Set the desired (maximum) domestic hot water temperature at the controller under "Para" (see controller instructions, page 24). The maximum domestic hot water temperature must not exceed 60 °C in order to avoid scalding. Primary side The required temperature on the primary side in the buffer tank depends on the desired domestic hot water temperature and on the required tap quantity.
