Modes Of Use; Glossary Of Technical Terms - Riello RiCloud User Manual

Modes of use

RiCLOUD means you can manage your domestic heating in a more
sophisticated way; you can decide how and when the boiler will come on
to heat your living spaces. In addition, it allows you to set the domestic
hot water temperature, without having to access the boiler panel (where
connected to the boiler via OTBus or a specific communication bus). The
purpose of this manual is to explain each of these ways of using the
device and the related functions.

Glossary of technical terms

Heating water: the water in the radiators that has been heated by the boiler.
Domestic hot water: the water heated by the boiler which is dispensed from
the domestic taps.
Fault code: this code shows on the display to flag any boiler or RiCLOUD
faults.
Original set-up: this is the control panel configuration after turning on the
device for the first time or after a reset.
Display: this is the liquid crystal panel where each of the symbols corresponding
to the various functions are shown.
Anti-freeze function: this function ensures that any drops in temperature do
not cause the water inside the pipes to freeze and cause damage to the heating
system. This function is activated when the room temperature drops below 5°C
(this value can be changed by the qualified technical service).
NOTE
This function is active only if the boiler is in the correct operating condition (i.e.
powered and not blocked) and no hydraulic system splitting into sections.
Restore factory settings: this restores the control panel to its original set-up,
resetting any user programming excluding the system clock.
Summer: the heating system is not active in this mode (for example, during the
summer).
The boiler can dispense domestic hot water. If correctly connected and
configured (in cooling mode), RiCLOUD can be used to manage a cooling system
in the summer, turning the relay on in ON/OFF mode, in the opposite way to the
winter operating mode. The relay keeps the user request connected (e.g. a zone
valve) until the room temperature falls below a certain level.
The cooling mode requires a specific system and generator for this purpose.
