CONF 4 Bi-Valent Series System
-
The boiler is used to top-up the energy required for the system, but when the heat pump is outside it’s operating limits,
the boiler will provide all of the heating requirements.

CONF 3,5 Bi-Valent Parallel Systems
-
The normal operation in these systems is that when the heat pump cannot meet the heating load, the boiler will take over
the full energy requirements of the system (alternative operation).
Alternative Operation can be achieved by setting P14=P15. This means that either the heat pump or the boiler operate
but not the two together (exception is during DHW demand).
Important Note: P14 should never be set higher than P15, otherwise incorrect operation will result.
4.1.8. Mono-Valent Systems (Conf 1)
Summary
•
In mono-valent systems, the heat pump is the sole provider of heating energy to the system. The Heat Pump is sized to
provide 100% of the heating requirements on the coldest day of the year. It is recommended for low-energy houses and
for moderate climates without severe winters. Used in new builds or in boiler-replacement applications.
This configuration is suitable for low-temperature radiators and underfloor heating systems.
Important Parameter Settings
•
CONF = 1
P1 = 0,1,2 according to DHW system type.
P2 = 0,1 according to whether a buffer tank/hydraulic separator and secondary pump is installed.
P4 = heating curve according to building and system characteristics.
It is also recommended to review all parameter settings, and make modifications as required by the installation.
In order to achieve higher DHW temperatures, the system can operate with an auxiliary DHW electric heater.
