Root cause category: parameter (setting)
External room thermostat used
with setting [A.2.1.7] on value
2 (= RT control).
Wrong setting of [A.2.1.7] -
unit control method.
Check setting [A.2.1.7].
Adjust setting to match appli-
cation - refer to installers refer-
ence guide.
Backup heater operation disa-
bled (setting [4-00] is set to 0).
Setting backup heater opera-
tion mode [4-00] is set to 2
(only domestic hot water).
Check setting [4-00].
Change setting [4-00] to 1.
Setting domestic hot water
operation mode [6-0D] not set
optimally.
Setting domestic hot water
operation mode [6-0D] is set to
0 (reheat only). This will cause
the system to work too fre-
quently in domestic hot water
operation and less in space
heating.
Check setting [6-0D].
It is advisable to set to factory
setting ( schedule)
and program the schedule to
heat the domestic hot water
during periods of no space
heating required.
Root cause category: installation
3-way valve does not switch
correctly between space heat-
ing connection and domestic
hot water connection.
3-way valve incorrectly
mounted.
Check the 3-way valve (see
page 84).
Correct the position of the
3-way valve.
Root cause category: component - electrical
3-way valve blocked.
Component failure.
Check the 3-way valve (see
page 84).
Replace the 3-way valve.
Root cause category: system design
Water circuit - requested
capacity too high.
Incorrect system selection.
Check required capacity by
heat load calculation. Refer to
the capacity tables in the engi-
neering data book to know
max. system capacity at indi-
cated conditions.
Adapt system design.
Water circuit - water volume
too big.
•
Long water piping.
•
Too many heating emitters.
Check required capacity by
heat load calculation. Refer to
the capacity tables in the engi-
neering data book to know
max. system capacity at indi-
cated conditions.
Adapt system design.
Water circuit - pressure drop
too big.
•
Too small water piping.
•
Too long water piping.
•
Too many heating emitters.
Compare the pressure drop of
the total system with the water
pump characteristics (refer to
check of water pump).
Decreased water flow will
cause a drop in capacity.
Adapt system design.
