HMI (Figure 42). Fig. 41 The next step is to set the anti-legionella boost temperature that the EasiHeat must achieve during a cycle. Note that the temperature setting must not exceed that of the Independent High Limit (IHL) if fitted.
Page 32
Finally the unit must be manually enabled from the enable request pushbutton located on the HMI, the user can stop the anti-legionella boost cycle at any time by pressing the same button. Fig. 43 IM-P481-04 CTLS Issue 4...
Page 33
In order to operate the anti-legionella cycle in the automatic or timed mode, select AUTO. This is confirmed by the Automatic set-point entry fields being available and confirmed by the LED on the HMI. The next step is to set the anti-legionella boost temperature that the EasiHeat must achieve during the cycle.
