The selection button can be used to activate the following
actuators. You can then use the plus and minus buttons to
change the output/power of the pumps, the flow direction
of the shift-load switching valve or the stratification in the
cylinder.

that the process water zone in the cylinder is charged at
65 °C. If this is not possible due to low solar radiation, the
