3.1.2 Space Heating Zones

A zone is defined as the physical area of the home in which temperatures are controlled by each individual

device. For example, there might be a user interface installed in the living area, in which case this may be

referred to as zone 1. There may also be a temperature probe installed upstairs in the sleeping/bedroom

area, which would then be designated as zone 2, and so on.

Extra zones are an additional, optional feature of the heating system. The standard package comes with

one user interface and the possibility of four separate zones. Each heating zone can be assigned a heat

curve specific to the type of heat emitters.

3.1.3 Location of Wiring Centre

If a Dimplex A-Class cylinder is used, the wiring centre is built in to the A-class cylinder and pre-wired.

If a non A-Class cylinder is used, the wiring centre module must be installed.

The wiring centre module is designed to be wall mounted, and it is recommended that it is installed in

close proximity to the cylinder to allow for installation of components which require a control cable

(modbus) connection, i.e. pump, DHW probe, 3-port valve and heat pump connections.
