Principles of operating the Greenstar Plus Hybrid Manager ➊ Data is inputted into the FW200 controller • Calculation of system flow set temperature • The appropriate strategy is chosen – Strategy 1: Cost optimised ➌ Boiler: (the higher temperature heating option) • Supports central heating up to the calculated flow set temperature for the system or supports all DHW demand. Alternatively it can remain turned off.
