The Grundfos COMFORT 10-16 T PM BU/LC pump maintains the circulation of domestic hot water based on liquid temperature measured in the pump. The temperature control mode uses an integrated temperature sensor to switch the pump on and off based on preset temperature limits, which are set automatically. However, the specific temperature range is not provided in the given context.

1.1 Hazard statements The symbols and hazard statements below may appear in Grundfos installation and operating instructions, safety instructions and service instructions. DANGER Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious personal injury.
• Action to avoid the hazard. 1.2 Notes The symbols and notes below may appear in Grundfos installation and operating instructions, safety instructions and service instructions. Observe these instructions for explosion-proof products. A blue or gray circle with a white graphical symbol indicates that an action must be taken.
1.3 Pumped liquids The product is suitable for domestic hot water with unrestricted water hardness. The kinematic viscosity of water is 1 mm /s (1 cSt) at 68 °F (20 °C). If the pump is used for a liquid with a higher viscosity, the hydraulic performance of the pump will be reduced.

maximum water temperature is measured at 113 °F (45 °C), the pump switches off at temperatures above 106 °F (41 °C) and switches back on when the water cools down to below 100 °F (38 °C). The maximum temperature of the system is measured every 12 hours, enabling dynamic adjustment of the on/off temperature.

system. For example, if the maximum water temperature is measured at 113 °F (45 °C), the pump switches off at temperatures above 106 °F (41 °C) and switches back on when the water cools down to below 100 °F (38 °C). The maximum temperature of the system is measured every 12 hours, enabling dynamic adjustment of the on/off temperature.
