TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Notes:

The water volume can only be set by the Kitchen controller.

The Kitchen controller does not require priority nor to be on in order to set the

water volume function.

The water volume function can be set whilst a hot tap is open.

The water volume alarm will only sound from the kitchen controller.

The factory preset water volume is 180 litres.

If a hot water tap is not opened for one hour after the new water volume has

been set, then the setting will be automatically cancelled. The water volume

resets to the previously set water volume (or the factory preset water volume if

no water volume has been set).

To display the remaining water volume while water is being drawn, press the

water volume button.  After a few seconds, the display returns to the temperature

setting.

To turn off the water volume function before the alarm sounds, press the water

volume button twice.

The water volume is measured as the water flows through the water heater.

Therefore if more than one hot tap is open, the alarm will respond to the total

water volume drawn from all taps and the expected water volume from the first

tap will be decreased.

If the hot tap is closed before the set water volume flows through the water

heater and the water volume button is left on, then the alarm will sound when the

remaining water volume is consumed during a later operation. To prevent the

alarm from sounding, press the water volume button twice to turn it off.
