Pump pressure is too high
Possible cause
Clean the strainer
Set the thermostat of the temperature controller to
the correct value according to the section "Temperature
control of heating unit"
1) Check the controller: Remove the thermostat
from the valve. If the temperature then increases,
replace the thermostat
2) Alternatively, check and exercise the valve.
Replace the valve if defective
Set the differential pressure regulator to the correct value
according to the section "Differential pressure regulator"
Check and replace if defective
Bleed the installation thoroughly
Check the system pressure on a pressure gauge
and top up with water if necessary
Check whether there is power to the pump
Make sure there is no air in the pump housing
Exercise the pump using the centre screw
Set the pump correctly, see the section
"Circulation pump UPM3"
Adjust or install balancing valves
Flush the system and check that a strainer has been fitted
on the secondary side. Then replace the heat exchanger
Set the thermostat of the temperature controller to the
correct value according to the section "Temperature control
of heating unit"
1) Check the controller: Remove the thermostat
from the valve. If the temperature then increases,
replace the thermostat
2) Alternatively, check and exercise the valve.
Replace the valve if defective
Set the pump to a lower setting, see the section
"Circulation pump UPM3"
Check and replace if defective
Flush the system and check that a strainer has been fitted
on the secondary side. Then replace the heat exchanger
Set the differential pressure regulator to the correct value
according to the section "Differential pressure regulator"
Check and replace if defective
Set the pump to a lower setting, see the section
