Protecting against legionella
The controller is furnished with an anti-legionella func-
tion to protect against infection by germs (legionella).
When the function is activated, the water in the domes-
tic hot water cylinder is heated to over 60 °C for at least
one hour.
> Set the anti-legionella function when installing the
controller.
> Explain to the operator how the anti-legionella func-
tion works.
Preventing the risk of scalding
There is a danger of scalding at the hot water draw-off
points if the temperatures are greater than 60 °C. Young
children and elderly persons are particularly at risk from
scalding at lower temperatures.
> Select a moderate target temperature.
> Inform the owner about the risk of scalding when the
anti-legionella function is switched on.
Protecting the controller from damage
> The controller should only be installed in dry rooms.
Preventing malfunction
> Ensure that the heating system is in a technically per-
fect condition.
> Ensure that no safety or monitoring devices have
been removed, bridged or disabled.
> Immediately rectify any faults and damage that may
affect safety.
> Inform the operator that he must not cover the con-
troller with furniture, curtains or other objects.
> If thermostatic control is activated, advise the opera-
tor that, in the room where the controller is mounted,
all the radiator valves must be fully open.
2.4 Requirements for cables
> Use standard commercial cables for wiring.
Minimum cross-section of the cable:
– Supply cable 230 V (pumps or mixer supply cable):
1.5mm
2
– Low-voltage conductors(sensor or bus lines):
0.75mm
2
Maximum cable length:
– Sensor lines: 50 m
– Bus lines: 300m
> At lengths of over 10 m, 230V supply cables must be
laid separately from sensor or bus lines.
> Fasten the supply cables using the strain relief device
in the wall mount.
> Do not use the free terminals in the appliance as sup-
ports for other wiring.
> The controller should only be installed in dry rooms.
2.5 Directives, laws and standards
> All wiring must be in accordance with Building Regula-
tions Part P and BS 7671 (IEE Wiring Regulations), and
