Push on the control panel to open it (fig. 2) and get access to the controller. Switching ON and OFF Set the main switch on the BC10 to position "1" (ON) to switch ON the boiler and set it to "0" to switch the boiler OFF. http://www.buderus.net...
Setting the DHW temperature value Check the local code for the max. DHW temper- ature. Turn the "DHW temperature" rotary knob to set the desired temperature of the hot water in the DHW tank. http://www.buderus.net...

Table 1 Settings of "DHW temperature" knob This function has been optimized for boilers with combined DHW heating (combi-units). The LED under the rotary knob lights if the DHW temperature is below the target value (heat request for DHW). http://www.buderus.net...
Operating the BC10 basic controller Setting the space heating water temperature Turn the "space heating water temperature" knob to set the upper limit value of the heater water for the heating operation. This limitation does not apply to DHW preparation. http://www.buderus.net...

Table 3 Settings of "space heating water temperature" rotary knob The LED under the rotary knob lights when the heating system is switched ON and heat is requested. In summer mode the heating system is switched OFF (LED OFF). http://www.buderus.net...
The water in the boiler has reached the required temperature or there is no heat request. Table 4 LED indication Other functions and economic heating The functions described above are basic functions, carried out directly on the boiler using the BC10 basic controller. http://www.buderus.net...

Fig. 6 Reading the pressure gauge NOTICE It is very important that the heating system is now purged, since all air will collect at the highest point of the heating system when the system is slowly filled with water. http://www.buderus.net...
The frost protection switches the boiler on at a flow temperature of 45 °F (7 °C) and off at a flow temper- ature of 59 °F (15 °C). The heating system itself is not protected against frost. http://www.buderus.net...
– Drain the heating system water from the lowest point of the heating system using the boiler filling and draining cock. The vent screw at the highest point of the heating system must then be open. http://www.buderus.net...
