Supply Power to the DDC 

The DDC requires a low voltage (24 V) power supply.  
Install a dedicated 230/24 V, 60Hz safety transformer (minimum 20 VA). 
Connect the DDC to the transformer using the 4-pole connector. See Figure 24. 

  TERMINAL 1:  24 V 

  TERMINAL 2:  0 V  

  TERMINAL 3:  GROUND (connect to a safety ground socket, r 

 0,1

  TERMINAL 4:  Not used 

The DDC is equipped with a backup battery in order to help avoid data loss. 

3.4  OPERATION OF THE GAHP-W AND W-LB 

Preliminary checks to be performed by the qualified installer. Proceed with the start-up 
only if the below conditions have been satisfied. 

  the appliance is fitted for the proper type of gas by checking the rating plate. Robur 

GAHP-W and W LB units are designed to operate with either natural gas or L.P.G.
