Usable limits RVS DC units are chillers with heat pump function. The primary purpose of the units here is cooling mode, whilst the heating function represents an additional function by means of reverse circulation. For trouble-free unit operation and compliance with the legal warranty conditions, it is essential that the unit is be used within its respective usable limits.
REMKO RVS SERIES Operation Display/control unit The controller of the chiller is to be operated with the touch pad, which is located right on the unit in a housing protected from splashed water. To open the housing, press the "PRESS" button on the right-hand side of the housing.

If the system is deactivated and the time set for a switch-on point (ON1, ON2) is reached, the system activates autonomously. It then carries out the operation with the settings before deactivating again. If the system is activated and the time set for a switch-off point (OFF1, OFF2) is reached, the system de-activates autonomously.
