Depending on the result, the compressor stages are turned on or off. This check is performed on the heat exchanger‟s water outlet (water supply = PIDτ) or water inlet (water return). 16.1.1 Operating mode selection (P119): - If P119 = 1 (Cooling) Cooling only.

    16.2 Water temperature setpoint adjustment The control mode is set using parameter P141. Value 1: set to water return. Value 2: set to water supply. Value 3: set to water supply with compensation by water return. Setpoint 2 allows a similar shift if control adjusted based on the outdoor air (If P127 = Yes or P131 = Yes) or allows the control mode to be changed if P54 (storage) = Yes.
  • Page 73 16.3.2 Water supply control (P141 = 2) If heating mode is selected with a water-to-water unit, the setpoint is adjusted based on the temperature measured by the hot water supply sensor. If cooling mode is selected and P6 = 1, the setpoint is adjusted based on the temperature measured by the heat exchanger outlet sensor.
