19.3 D.h.w. temperature and d.h.w. switching
differential
The kind of d.h.w. storage tank temperature acquisition must be entered on operating
line 126.
In plant types x–5
without solar heating, select setting 0, 1, 2 or 3 on operating line
126, although d.h.w. heating with electric immersion heater does not require either
sensor or thermostat.
The storage temperature can be acquired via
• 1 or 2 sensors
• 1 or 2 thermostats
• 1 or 2 sensors with solar function; this activates function "Solar d.h.w. charging".
If temperature sensors are used, the switch-on / off temperature for charging is deter-
mined as follows:

If the d.h.w. storage tank is equipped with thermostats, the switch-on / off temperature
is determined by the thermostats.

From the 2 tables above, it is obvious that when using 2 sensors, it is irrelevant which
of the 2 sensors is fitted at the top and which at the bottom of the d.h.w. storage tank.
