BIOSAFE AND BOOST FUNCTIONS
Collector
BioSafe
During BioSafe the pump is run for two minutes once the tank is above the
target temperature to sterilise the collector pipes.
BioSafe BioSafe runs periodically according to the settings. When heating for BioSafe
sterilisation the controller will start heating with the upper element (in a dual
element tank) first before completing the cycle by then heating with the lower
element. The BioSafe examination will continually reset while the tank
temperature is above BioSafe levels, so the sterilisation will only occur if the
tank has not attained BioSafe conditions over a 1 week period.
For installations where the Inlet (lower tank) sensor is
below
BioSafe uses the Real Time Clock to determine when it should run and is
therefore immune to power outages of less than 14 days.
the electric
element, this is known as a ‘Mid Element’ configuration and the BioSafe will run
every 24 hours
Boost This is a ‘one –off’ operation that will reset when the Boost target temperature is
attained.
Boost can be initiated when the hot water is below the maximum boost
temperature (with a Solar installation this temperature might already be
surpassed). It can be cancelled by selecting Boost again, a toggle action.
