(PSI) as low water levels cause poor performance and possible damage to the system. Ask the installer of the equipment for information on how to measure these levels. When using the Steffes Air Handler with the Comfort Plus Hydronic System, periodically check and replace the air filter. -
Page 8: Optional Accessories
The Comfort Plus Hydronic system requires a primary water loop which serves to regulate heat transfer from the unit’s heat exchanger. To minimize installation time and costs for field design and engineering of this loop, Steffes offers a primary loop kit. The kit contains the components generally installed with hydronic heat systems. -

Page 16: Low Voltage Electrical Connections Peak Control
TIME CLOCK MODULE PEAK CONTROL The Steffes Time Clock Module is another option for providing a peak control signal to the Comfort Plus Hydronic. It mounts inside the system’s low voltage electrical compartment and interfaces with the relay board via an inter- face cable. - Page 17 TEMPERATURE SENSOR (REQUIRED) Installation Methods: A) Hard wired to system to the two IMPORTANT "Outdoor" terminals (default) If connecting to the Steffes power line B) Connected to Power Line Carrier carrier (PLC) system, follow the instal- (PLC) lation instructions in the PLC system's Owner's and Installer's Guide.
- Page 18 A low voltage (24VAC) room thermostat is required for room temperature control with the Comfort Plus Hydronic system. Steffes recommends using a digital thermostat. If utilizing a mechanical thermostat, a load resistor may be necessary due to the low current draw (.01 amps) on the heat call input circuit of the Comfort Plus system. Contact the factory for information on thermostats available from Steffes.
