The pre-setting scale indicates values from 100% flow to 0%, the required volume for the DHW control 
valve can be found on the HIU label.

The keep warm setting is dependent upon the primary flow temperature, DHW and keep warm valves 
model and setting.

Press grey pointer back into lock position when 
flow rate set. After click, pre-setting is locked.

Replace actuator.

  8.4.2 Heating Control Valve Adjustment

Heating control is provided by a Danfoss Frese 
Compact PICV. During the commissioning process 
the flow rate will need to be checked and adjusted. 
See Fig 21 below which identifies the location of 
the heating PICV.

Before undertaking any of the steps below, close 
primary system isolation valves at the top of the 
HIU and confirm electrical connection is isolated.

CAUTION

The actuators on the valves must not be  

dismantled during operation. This could result in 

them being destroyed. Dismantling should only 

be carried out when the HIU is isolated from all 

systems (mechanical and electrical) and when 

the system has cooled down. 

 

Table 6.

Fig. 23

Remove thermostatic actuator by loosening the 
collar (Fig 22).

Fig. 22

Loosen the brass locking nut on the DHW PICV 
(See Fig 23)

 

and turn the dial so the pointer aligns 

with the correct flow setting. Ensure the locking 
nut is re-tightened following adjustment. 

The required flow setting for the Frese Low 2.5 
valve can be found below in Table 4, if any other 
valve is installed refer to the manufacturer's data 
sheet. The required volume for the HTG control 
valve can be found on the HIU label, i.e. if the 
required flow rate is 0.029 l/s set the valve to 
setting 2, always align the pointer with the next 
number above the required flow rate.

Ensure brass locking nut has been re-tightened. 
Refit the DHW control valve actuator and open 
primary valves at the top of HIU.
