Setting the switching times for the water heating is described in Chapter 6.3. If the target temperature for the water heating is not reached by the heat pump, the control system switches the Booster Heater (EHS) on as well. FA ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit - Part 2 - 05/2009...
Operation If the symbol is flashing, the hot water for the HybridCube is not produced by the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit but by the optionally connected ROTEX Solaris system. See installation instructions for the ROTEX Solaris SOL-PAC. To make hot water available all day, it is recommended that you leave the operating mode water heating switched on all day.
When programming, base your values on the standard values in the parameters and the programmed switching times of the other operating modes to avoid unfavourable operating conditions.

Three stages of Access authorisation are defined (Default settings see Tab. 6-1). Setting the Access authorisation must be carried out as follows: • Check whether the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit runs in normal operation, if necessary activate normal operation. • Change to the mode "Parameter setting" and there, select the parameter [0-00] (see Chapter 6.4.1).

[2] - Legionella protection If no hot water is used for several days and the storage temperature of the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit does not reach at least 60 °C, for hygiene reasons (Legionella protection) it is periodically heated up to above 60 °C once.
Page 29
If the priority of the parameter [4-01] is set to 1, the heating output for the room heating of the ROTEX Heat- PumpSolarUnit can be reduced at low outside temperatures because the Backup Heater (BH) is not available for room heating when hot water needs to be heated (the room heating is provided by the heat pump).

The parameter settings "Configuration of water heating" determine the minimum and maximum heating times for hot water and the minimum time between two heating cycles. – If a room thermostat is connected to the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit and is configured, the maximum runtime [8-01] can only be taken into consideration when required in the operating mode Room cooling or room heating.

[C] - Priority Solar Support The default setting is that heating the water with the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit is given priority over solar heating. This is done so that if the circulation in the solar cycle is very weak, there is no lack of hot water or in the event that the sun only started to shine just before the expected phase of hot water consumption (e.g.
6.5.3 ROTEX Solaris System By connecting the ROTEX Solaris system to the ROTEX HeatPumpSolarUnit, you can stop the water being heated by the heat pump or by the Booster Heater (EHS). This then allows 100% solar use during water heating.
