ECONCEPT TECH 18 A
DHW temperature adjustment
Use the DHW buttons (detail 1 - fig. 1 ) to adjust the temperature from a min. of 10°C to
a max. of 65°C.
Room temperature adjustment (with optional room thermostat)
Using the room thermostat, set the temperature required in the rooms. If the room ther-
mostat is not installed, the boiler will keep the system at the set system delivery setpoint
temperature.
Room temperature adjustment (with optional remote timer control)
Using the remote timer control, set the required temperature in the rooms. The boiler will
adjust the system water according to the required room temperature. For operation with
remote timer control, please refer to the relevant instruction manual.
Hot water tank exclusion (economy)
Hot water tank temperature maintaining/heating can be excluded by the user. If exclud-
ed, domestic hot water will not be delivered.
The hot water tank can be deactivated by the user (ECO mode) by pressing the ECO/
COMFORT button (detail 7 - fig. 1). In ECO mode the display activates the ECO symbol
(detail 12 - fig. 1). To activate COMFORT mode, press the ECO/COMFORT button (de-
tail 7 - fig. 1) again.
Sliding Temperature
When the optional external probe is installed, the boiler adjustment system works with
"Sliding Temperature". In this mode, the temperature of the heating system is controlled
according to the outside weather conditions, to ensure high comfort and energy saving
throughout the year. In particular, the system delivery temperature is decreased as the
outside temperature increases, according to a specific "compensation curve".
With Sliding Temperature adjustment, the temperature set with the heating buttons (de-
tail 3 - fig. 1) becomes the maximum system delivery temperature. It is advisable to set
a maximum value to allow system adjustment throughout its useful operating range.
The boiler must be adjusted at the time of installation by qualified personnel. Possible
adjustments can in any case be made by the user to improve comfort.
Compensation curve and curve offset
Press the reset button (detail 6 - fig. 1) for 5 seconds to access the "Sliding temperature"
menu; the display shows "CU" flashing.
Use the DHW buttons (detail 1 - fig. 1) to adjust the curve from 1 to 10 according to the
characteristic. By setting the curve to 0, sliding temperature adjustment is disabled.
Press the heating buttons (detail 3 - fig. 1) to access parallel curve offset; the display
shows "OF" flashing. Use the DHW buttons (detail 1 - fig. 1) to adjust the parallel curve
offset according to the characteristic (fig. 6).
Press the reset button (detail 6 - fig. 1) again for 5 seconds to exit the "Sliding Temper-
ature" menu.
If the room temperature is lower than the required value, it is advisable to set a higher
order curve and vice versa. Proceed by increasing or decreasing in steps of one and
check the result in the room.

Adjustments from Remote Timer Control
If the Remote Timer Control (optional) is connected to the boiler, the above ad-
A
justments are managed according to that given in table 1.

Plumbing system pressure adjustment
The filling pressure read on the boiler water gauge with the system cold must be approx
1.0 bar. If the system pressure falls to values below minimum, the boiler stops and fault
F37 is displayed. Bring it to the initial value by means of the filling cock detail 1 fig. 7. At
the end of the operation always close the filling cock.
Once the system pressure is restored, the boiler will activate the 120-second air venting
cycle indicated on the display by FH.

3.2 Place of installation

1
The combustion circuit is sealed with respect to the place of installation, therefore the
unit can be installed in any room. However, the place of installation must be sufficiently
ventilated to prevent the creation of dangerous conditions in case of even small gas
leaks. This safety standard is required by the EEC Directive no. 2009/142 for all gas
units, including those with sealed chamber
The unit is suitable for operation in a partially protected place in compliance with EN 297
pr A6, for temperatures to -5°C. It is advisable to install the boiler under the slope of a
roof, inside a balcony or in a sheltered recess.
Therefore the place of installation must be free of dust, flammable materials or objects
or corrosive gases.
The boiler is arranged for wall mounting and comes standard with a hooking bracket. Fix the
bracket to the wall according to the measurements given in the cover drawing and hook the
boiler on it. A metal template for marking the drilling points on the wall is available by request.
The wall fixing must ensure stable and effective support for the generator.
If the unit is enclosed in a cabinet or mounted alongside, a space must be pro-
A
vided for removing the casing and for normal maintenance operations
Adjustment can be made from the Remote Timer Control menu and the boiler
control panel.
Adjustment can be made from the Remote Timer Control menu and the boiler
control panel.
Summer mode has priority over a possible Remote Timer Control heating
demand.
On disabling DHW from the Remote Timer Control menu, the boiler selects the
Economy mode. In this condition, the eco/comfort button (detail 7 - fig. 1) on
the boiler panel is disabled.
On enabling DHW from the Remote Timer Control menu, the boiler selects the
Comfort mode. In this condition it is possible select one of the two modes with
the eco/comfort button (detail 7 - fig. 1) on the boiler panel.
Both the Remote Timer Control and the boiler card manage Sliding Tempera-
ture adjustment: the boiler card Sliding Temperature has priority.
