Air purge function
When commissioning and installing the unit, it is very important to
remove all air in the water circuit. When the air purge function is
running, the pump operates without actual operation of the unit and
the removal of air in the water circuit will start.
NOTICE
Before starting the air purge, open the safety valve and
check if the circuit is sufficiently filled with water. Only if
water escapes the valve after opening it, you can start the
air purge procedure.
There are 2 modes for purging air:
▪ Manual: the unit operates with a fixed pump speed and in a fixed
or custom position of the 3-way valve. The custom position of the
3-way valve is a more than helpful feature to remove all air from
the water circuit in the space heating or the domestic hot water
heating mode. Air purge must be performed for both the space
heating and the domestic hot water circuit. The operation speed of
the pump (slow or quick) can also be set.
▪ Automatic: the unit automatically changes the pump speed and
switches the position of the 3-way valve between the space
heating and the domestic hot water heating mode.
Typical workflow
Purging the air from the system should consist of:
1
Performing a manual air purge
2
Performing an automatic air purge
INFORMATION
Start by performing a manual air purge. When almost all
the air is removed, perform an automatic air purge. If
necessary, repeat performing the automatic air purge until
you are sure that all air is removed from the system.
During air purge function, pump speed limitation [9‑0D] is
NOT applicable.
The air purge function automatically stops after 30 minutes.

Operation menu and turn off Room, Space heating/cooling and Tank

INFORMATION
When starting up the system in a cold climate, and NO
backup heater kit was installed, it may be required to start
up with a small water volume. To do this, gradually open
the heat emitters. As a result, the water temperature will
gradually rise. Monitor the inlet water temperature ([6.1.6]
in the menu structure) and make sure it does NOT drop
below 15°C.
If the installation of the unit has been done correctly, the unit will
start up during test operation in the selected operation mode. During
test mode, the correct operation of the unit can be checked by
monitoring its leaving water temperature (heating/cooling mode) and
tank temperature (domestic hot water mode).
To monitor the temperature:
1
Go to Sensors.
