The boiler may also be used to raise the temperature of the DHW tank if the Heat Pump is not able to reach the DHW
supplysetpointbyitself.TheboilerwillonlystartafteratimedelaydenedbyparameterP19(waitingtimeforboiler)in
order to allow the Heat Pump time to satisfy the DHW loading demand by itself.
P19 Waiting Time for Boiler (default 30 min)
Since the heat pump only reads the control signal (mA) once every 20 minutes there can be a delay before the system

Engineering Parameters (EP) are only available for service engineers -
A DHW time program is not provided inside the controller. An external timer can be used by itself or together with a tariff-
switchdevice.Forexample,withanexternaltimeritispossibletoblockDHWloadingduringdaytimeperiods.
It is possible to use
only a external timer. Operates according to EP24 setting.1.
an external timer in series with a tariff-switch device. In this case: 2.
if EP24=3 both the external timer and the tariff-switch contacts must be closed to allow DHW loading
if EP24=4 either of the external timer or the tariff-switch contacts can be open to allow DHW loading.
an external timer in parallel with a tariff-switch device. In this case: 3.
if EP24=3 either of the external timer or the tariff-switch contacts can be open to allow DHW loading
if EP24=4 both the external timer and the tariff-switch contacts must be closed to allow DHW loading.
only a tariff switch device. Operates according to EP24 setting.4.
Dependingonthesettingofthecongurationoftariff/timerinputparameter(EP24),DHWloadingcanbeblocked
according to the status of the input (open or closed).
