5 Use and operation 6.1 Heating circuit settings Time switching In this operating mode, the timed switch-over between Heating mode and Reduced mode is defined. You can enter the times for heating mode Daily or In blocks. Usage example: Heating mode should be active during the day, but be changed to reduced mode at night.
5 Use and operation Buffer difference 2-point heating curve starts when the tank temperature top falls below the required flow temperature minus the buffer difference. Example: - Current flow required temperature = 50°C - Buffer difference = 5°C starts as soon as tank temperature top < 45°C. A negative buffer difference value is added, i.e.

7 DHW heating Example: 8.1 Circulation settings - Release type = Monday-Sunday, - The recirculation control currently has, for example, a time release of 06:00 to 08:00 - Switch-on duration = 30 seconds - Hold-on time = 4 minutes The recirculation pump runs for 30 seconds. After this, the pump pauses for 4 minutes in order to then run for 30 seconds again.
