YPICAL APPLICATION EXAMPLES
When the Rotex system is used in series with another heat
source (e.g. gas boiler), it shall be made sure that the
return water temperature to the heat exchanger does not
exceed 55°C. Rotex shall not be held liable for any damage
resulting from not observing this rule.
The application examples given below are for illustration purposes
only.
Application 1
Space heating only application with a room thermostat connected to
the indoor unit.

Pump operation and space heating
When a room thermostat (T) is connected to the indoor unit, the
pump (4) will operate when there is a heating request from the room
thermostat, and the outdoor unit will start operating to achieve the
target leaving water temperature as set on the user interface.
When the room temperature is above the thermostat set point, the
outdoor unit and pump will stop operating.
Make sure to connect the thermostat wires to the correct
terminals (see "Connection of the thermostat cable" on
page 13) and to configure the DIP switch toggle switches
correctly (see "Room thermostat installation configuration"
on page 15).

Application 2
Space heating only application without room thermostat connected to
the indoor unit. The temperature in each room is controlled by a valve
on each water circuit. Domestic hot water is provided through the
domestic hot water tank which is connected to the indoor unit.

Pump operation
With no thermostat connected to the indoor unit (2), the pump (4) can
be configured to operate either as long as the indoor unit is on, or
until the required water temperature is reached.
NOTE
Details on pump configuration can be found under
"Pump operation configuration" on page 16.
Space heating
The outdoor unit (1) will operate to achieve the target leaving water
temperature as set on the user interface.
When circulation in each space heating loop (FHL1..3) is
controlled by remotely controlled valves (M1..3), it is
important to provide a by-pass valve (9) to avoid the flow
switch safety device from being activated.
The by-pass valve should be selected as such that at all
time the minimum water flow as mentioned under "Water
pipework" on page 9 is guaranteed.
