7.4 Coil preheat and frost protection
When choosing the application type
Heating coil
, you can activate
the coil preheat and frost protection functions.
Coil preheat
With MIXIT you can preheat the coil before allowing the fan to start.
Frost protection
You can protect the coil from freezing by defining an air and return
flow temperature. If the temperature falls below one of the two
temperature limits, MIXIT will react by fully opening the valve in
order to circulate hot water in the system.
The return flow temperature is measured by the sensor in port B of
MIXIT. To measure the air temperature, you will need to install a
temperature sensor in the coil.
7.4.1 Setting coil preheat
The function can be active only for heating coil applications and can
only be set via Grundfos GO Remote.

1.
Activate the function by pressing the grey slide-button.
2.
Press
Coil preheat temperature
to define a return
temperature threshold.
Read the system state via MI,2 (Status System State [Enum]). If
MI,2 is set to 4, MIXIT is preheating the coil.

7.4.2 Setting frost protection
The function can be active only for heating coil applications.
1.
Frost detection is enabled by setting BO,4 to 1. When enabled,
the valve opens fully. Default value is 0.
