  8.4.3 Powering up the HIU 

 Turn on the power to the HIU

DANGER

Electricity can cause serious and fatal injuries. 
Always isolate the electrical supply and test 
before commencing work.

  8.4.4 Heating Set-up 

Switch the heating ‘on’ at the thermostat /
programmer and check that the pump is 
running, and that the motorised valve opens. If 
the pump and the motorised valve do not open, 
then check power to the HIU

Press the button on the face of the pump for 
more than 2 seconds so that it enters setting 
selection mode. The LEDs will flash, showing 
the current setting mode.  [Note that if the key 
lock is disabled, the pump will not switch to 
setting selection mode.  In this case, unlock the 
key lock by pressing the button for more than 10 
seconds]

Once in setting selection mode, scroll through 
the various options by quick depressions of the 
button until the proportional pressure AUTO 
ADAPT pattern below is displayed. Release the 
button for more than 10 seconds to save the 
setting

 Check that no water is passing to discharge    

    through the safety valve

 Attach a clip-on temperature sensor onto the            

    stainless-steel heating flow pipework, as close to  
    the plate as possible

 Adjust the heating actuator until the design    

    temperature has been achieved and is steady for  
    three minutes

 Complete the ‘Heating’ section of the   

 

    Commissioning sheet whilst the HTG is on

 Switch the HTG ‘off’ at the room thermostat       

and isolate the HIU at the fused spur

 Close the secondary HTG isolation valves

WARNING

Risk of burns due to water release under high 
pressure and hot surfaces can cause serious burns. 

For all operations carried out on the HIU always 

wear protective equipment.

Before commencement of 

commissioning ensure that any 

flushing bypass valves are closed

 Check the secondary side strainer, clean if  

 

    necessary and replace

 Re-open the secondary heating isolation valves  

    and re-fill and re-pressurize the system, bleed air  
    if required

 Restore electrical power to the HIU

  8.4.5 DHW Set-up 

 Open either the kitchen sink DHW outlet or  

    any other outlet without a TMV or thermostatic  
    control. Using a measuring cap adjust the flow  
    rate to achieve a constant 12 l/m

 Adjust actuator until the DHW temperature of  

    55° has been achieved at the outlet and is steady  
    for three minutes

 Complete the ‘DHW’ section of the  

 

     

    commissioning sheet whilst the DHW is      

 

    running
