    PART II Controller operation modes Menu Heating circuit Operation mode WATER TANK PRIORITY In this mode, water tank pump (DHW) is activated first in order to heat domestic water. Mixing valves are activated once the pre-set DHW temperature has been reached. The valves operate continuously until the water tank temperature drops below the pre-set value by the pre-defined hysteresis.

  • Page 24: Automatic Summer Mode

    AUTOMATIC SUMMER MODE This option involves automatic switching between modes. When the external temperature exceeds the activation threshold of Summer automatic mode, the valves will close. When the external sensor detects that a given threshold has been exceeded, the controller switches to summer mode. Average temperature is calculated on an ongoing basis. When it is lower than the pre-set value, the operation mode will switch to the previous one.
