Introductory information Device description The Vitocal 222-G/242-G/333-G/343-G All connected components are operated are brine/water heat pumps with integral and controlled via the integral heat pump DHW cylinder. Solar collectors can be control unit Vitotronic 200, type WO1A connected to the Vitocal 242-G and 343- with plain text menu prompts.
Introductory information Commissioning The commissioning and matching up of the heat pump control unit to local con- ditions and to the structural characteris- tics of the building, plus the instruction of the user in operating the system, must be carried out by your heating contrac- tor.
Introductory information Terminology To provide you with a better understand- ing of the functions of your heat pump control unit, the appendix contains the chapter "Terminology" (see page 51). Energy saving tips ■ Only activate the DHW circulation pump for when DHW is drawn off reg- ularly.

Appendix Terminology (cont.) Weather-compensated heating or cooling mode In weather-compensated mode, the flow temperature is controlled subject to the outside temperature. This means that no unnecessary heat or cooling capacity is generated to heat or cool the rooms to the set room temperature you selected. The outside temperature is captured and transferred to the heat pump control unit by a sensor fitted outside the building.
