Indirect tank call and priority

B85/B120/B160

What happens, in order

  1. DHW mode 1 uses an indirect tank with a sensor (mode 0 default = no DHW)
  2. Tank sensor drops below the DHW setpoint (2.115) and the boiler fires and modulates to it
  3. 120 V goes to the DHW pump terminals 15 and 16 while serving the tank
  4. If CH and DHW are called together, DHW priority mode (2.042) decides: 0 = timed swap using 2.043, 1 = CH always first, 2 = DHW always first
  5. With mode 0 the boiler swaps between CH and DHW each time the priority time runs out
