note
It is important to minimise this effect as much as possible during installation. The following precautions should  -
be taken
1. Fully insulate the supply and return pipes. -
2. Ensure that the supply temperature sensor is tightly strapped-on to the pipe with the metal clip provided. -
The metal clip should be used directly around the sensor element itself (since it itself improves the heat transfer)  -
and then insulation should be placed around the sensor and xed securely in place.

directly switch off the heat pump if the return temperature rises above a set limit.
Return water temperature (TRET) > EP13 + 0.5K    Heat Pump is switched off
Return water temperature (TRET) < EP13 - 0.5K    Heat Pump may be switched on.
EP13  Heat Pump Maximum Return Temperature (default 60°C)
This value should not normally need to be changed.
