Explaining the Operation of the Master System to the end 
user  
  

You have now set the unit up to run from an external signal Using a field supplied room 
thermostat or signal from an under floor heating system through B20-B22 and/or B20-B24; 
the controller no longer drives the unit.  
When the contact is made the unit will start and the water temperature will be controlled by 
the heat pump, you will not have any control over it. The water temperature is determined by 
the outdoor temperature; the colder it is outside the warmer the water. The unit is running in 
weather comp mode,  

You will see 0.0C on the 
screen

; the unit is using 

weather compensation 
function to work out the water 
temperature. If you need to 
boost the heating water temp 
this can be done by pressing 
the silver up and down 
buttons. This boosts the 
radiators by up to +5 C but 
warning this will cost more 
money to run.

  

 

When an external stat or run 
signal is used most of the 

functions of the Samsung remote are disabled. A waging finger shows at the bottom to show 
this. 
All these buttons are disabled and the functions they control are also disabled  

 
Note: 

when the heating command is 

sent to the unit it will not start for 3 
minutes. And when the thermostat or 
signal is removed the pump will run on for 
up to 6 minutes. 
 
On latest software the end user can 
override the stat switching the unit off with 
the top left button. Avoid this as the unit 
will no longer run. If the sun signal is not 
on the display the heating is not going to 
operate. 

 
How the slave works: 

When the master unit is struggling to heat the house and the ambient temperature is below 
10C the slave unit will be asked to help out. 

 
How hot water works 

The hot water cylinder has priority over the heating, if the cylinder temperature falls 5 degrees 
below its set point the unit will automatically switch to heating the cylinder. Once set 
temperature is achieved the unit will go back to heating the house. 
The hot water cylinder loses almost no heat (1/3 a degree an hour) if no hot water is used. 
The hot water cylinder takes less than an hour to heat up from cold. If you need hot water 
very fast the DHW button forces the unit to heat the water flat out, the unit will stay in this 
mode until you press the DHW button again 
To protect from legionella the cylinder is heated to 60 degrees C once a week automatically.
