The settings for the internal pump are made at the factory.
▶ Ensure that there is sufficient dimensioning for the
connections and the domestic hot water cylinder.

▶ Downstream of the low loss header, select a domestic
hot water pump that is suitable for the domestic hot water
cylinder.
▶ Connect the pump for the decoupled domestic hot water
circuit to the plug X13 for the main PCB.
▶ Connect the temperature sensor for the low loss header
to plug X41 on the main PCB. Observe the instructions
for the low loss header.
▶ In order to control the cylinder's post-heating, connect
a VR 10 temperature sensor or a thermostat to the plug
that is connected to the main PCB.

5.2 Selecting the domestic hot water cylinder
The product can control an optional domestic hot water cylin-
der (recommended option for products with an output below
50 kW).
▶ Use a low loss header for products that are connected to
a domestic hot water cylinder and have a domestic hot
water output requirement of over 50 kW, . (→ Page 13)
▶ Use the following components to connect the domestic
hot water cylinder:

5.3 Selecting a low loss header
The low loss header disconnects the heat generator hydraul-
ically from the heating system. This prevents feed head in-
teractions between the individual circulation pumps. Further-
more, the low loss header ensures that a sufficient minimum
volume of water continuously circulates through the heat
generator.
▶ Observe the information on treating heating water.
(→ Page 19)
▽ If you cannot guarantee the conditions for treating
the heating water, install an external plate heat ex-
changer to protect the product.

▶ Observe the instructions for the low loss header.
You do not require any electronic accessories when using
a low loss header. You can connect simple installations dir-
ectly inside the electronics box.
▶ Observe the wiring diagram.
