15cm / almost 6 inches deep and sensor
must be fully set to back. Check
programmed settings boiler temp set too
close to the required DHW temperature.
Boiler output not
modulating up to

between boiler supply and
return water temperatures
(evokes electronic fence). Confirm that primary pump is able to
overcome head loss of boiler and primary
loop piping at the required flow rate.
Primary Pump runs but
load pumps do not. Wiring not complete. Supply power to the PV/L and PV/N
terminals from the incoming power supply
