TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
The purpose of a Temperature Controller is to enable the user to have complete control
over the hot water supply. Used correctly, the hot water unit will supply hot water at the
temperature selected, even when the water flow is varied, or when more than one tap is
used. Adjustments to the operation of your hot water unit can be made with any of the
Temperature Controllers. Each Temperature Controller can be individually programmed.
Up to three Universal and Deluxe Temperature Controllers can be fitted with the Infinity
16e. Universal Controllers allow temperature selection only and come as standard with
the water heaters. Deluxe Temperature Controllers are an optional extra. These
controllers have temperature selection, bath fill, voice recognition, and time clock
functions. When more than one Universal Controller is used one may be set as the
Master Controller to allow higher temperatures.
Various water temperatures (°C) can be selected as follows:
Universal Controller:
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50
0
C
Master Universal Controller:
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 55, 60, 65°C
Deluxe Bathroom Controller:
Hot Water Delivery: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50°C
Bath fill Delivery: 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48°C
Deluxe Kitchen Controller:
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 55, 60, 65°C
If a temperature 43°C or higher is selected on any controller and this temperature is then
decreased to below 43°C and increased again whilst the water is running, the maximum
selectable temperature will become 43°C. This provides additional safety for the
consumer.
Suggested temperatures are:
Kitchen 50°C - 65°C*; Shower 39°C - 43°C; Bath fill 39°C - 45°C
* This temperature may not be available on all installations.
These temperatures are suggested starting points for selection. You may find higher or
lower temperatures are more comfortable. Maintaining lower temperatures helps to save
energy. To obtain water temperatures lower than 37°C simply add cold water.
Up to three controllers can be used for one Infinity 16e. When multiple temperature
controllers are used they allow the temperature to be set from various locations by
pushing the transfer button which gives that controller priority over the system. The
temperature selected by the controller with priority will be available to all outlets.
