Multiple rooms – Two LWT zones
If the heat emitters selected for each room are designed for different
leaving water temperatures, you can use different leaving water
temperature zones (maximum 2).
In this document:
▪ Main zone = Zone with the lowest design temperature
▪ Additional zone = Zone with the highest design temperature
CAUTION
When there is more than one leaving water zone, you must
ALWAYS install a mixing valve station in the main zone to
decrease (in heating) the leaving water temperature when
the additional zone has demand.

INFORMATION
A pressure regulating valve should be implemented before
the mixing valve station. This is to guarantee the correct
water flow balance between the main leaving water
temperature zone and the additional leaving water
temperature zone in relation to the required capacity of
both water temperature zones.
▪ For the main zone:
▪ A mixing valve station is installed before the under floor heating.
▪ The pump of the mixing valve station is controlled by the ON/
OFF signal on the indoor unit (X2M/5 and X2M/7; normal closed
shut-off valve output).
▪ The room temperature is controlled by the user interface, which
is used as room thermostat.
▪ For the additional zone:
▪ The heat pump convectors are directly connected to the indoor
unit.
▪ The desired room temperature is set via the remote controller of
the heat pump convectors for each room.
▪ The heating demand signals of each heat pump convector are
connected in parallel to the digital input on the indoor unit
(X2M/1 and X2M/4). The indoor unit will only supply the desired
additional leaving water temperature when there is an actual
demand.
▪ The user interface connected to the indoor unit decides the space
operation mode. Mind that the operation mode on each remote
controller of the heat pump convectors must be set to match the
indoor unit.

Benefits
▪
Comfort.
▪ The smart room thermostat functionality can decrease or
increase the desired leaving water temperature based on the
actual room temperature (modulation).
▪ The combination of the two heat emitter systems provides the
excellent heating comfort of the under floor heating, and the
rapid air heat up of the heat pump convectors (e.g., living
room=under floor heating and the bedroom=convector (no
continuous heating)).
