Start-up Instructions 3. Adjust the heating curve The heating curves represent the relationship between the outdoor temperature and the supply temperature. Put simply: The lower the outdoor temperature, the higher the supply temperature. In turn, the room temperature is dependent on the supply temperature. The heating curves shown are based on the following settings: “Parallel shift of heating curve”...

Start-up Instructions 4. Check communication with other control units (if installed) The communication module (accessory) is required for communication with other control units (see page 43). Via scan 2 (see page 33) on the The 2nd placed digit from the left programming unit, check that the rotary indicates the setting of the rotary switch.

Troubleshooting Diagnosis Not every “irregularity” in the system is a defect in the Dekamatik; these are dependent on the unit’s programming. In such an instance, review prescribed settings of the Dekamatik unit (see Operating Instructions). Malfunctions indicated by fault display Via an integrated fault diagnostic system, the Dekamatik indicates errors within the heating system enabling the user to analyze problems.
