Product Information
When used in conjunction with Viessmann boilers, the low-loss header acts as
hydraulic break, decoupling boiler and system circuits from each other. The
low-loss header increases operational efficiency. In addition, the low-loss header
helps eliminate debris from the heating system.
The common supply temperature sensor located of the low-loss header connects
to the Vitocontrol-S controller ensuring optimum staging of the boilers and
accurate control of system supply water temperatures.
Please refer to the respective section for installation steps of your low-loss header.

WARNING
When extending wire, there is the
possibility of exposure to
electromagnetic interference. Avoid
running wires beside or near high
voltage 120/240 VAC conductors.
If proximity to high voltage
conductors cannot be avoided, use
stranded, twisted pair or shield
design wire. Ensure that only one
end of the shielding is grounded.
