The directions were vague to say the least, I don't think they translated from french to well. I had to wire one today and had no prior experience.

I am not sure which control it has. I think it is the basic because it had no sensors shipped with it. I found terminmals for line voltage in, 3,4,5 I think. I found heating circulator relay.

The burner circuit I found ground and neutral ok but was unsure of hot leg. I used 21.


I guess my question is , What calls the burner on? There is a dial with numbers that I assume is an adjustable high limit ?

I have two zones with pumps and a DWH zone with pump. I have an argo 3 zone priority panel that I was going to wire from the pump terminal on the dedetreich board.

Any help or comments would be welcome. I am so sick with the flu I should have stayed in bed. Not thinking as clearly as I should be. A call to the supply house did not shed a great deal of light. [maybe it is just me]

    The website

    did not help much either. I learned a little about the company and they sell under the name of Oertli also.

    I know that I do have the basic control, but could find no information beyond that.

  • ANYBODY EVER PUT IN A DeDIETRICH ????

    I almost sold one of those DeDietrich boilers a couple of weeks ago. They went with another French made boiler instead. An MZ. Now that I see what you are going through, I'm sure glad I didn't get that iron beast.

    I know this doesn't help you out with your problem but at least it'll put your thread back on the top of The Wall.

    ANYBODY EVER PUT IN A DEDIETRICH?

    Hope you are feeling better soon Bill.

    So Much For

    "Advanced" Euro technology. I was told by supplier today that you just set the highlimit and let it run, it has 15° differrential he said. The boiler is so well insulated it is not a problem he claims, yeah right.

    If you want to spend the big $$ you can get the control with all the bells and whistles. In this application all the pumps run independant of the boiler and the boiler maintains temp.

    The boiler only holds 8 gallons of water. Cold start? Warm start? Maintain? I only want to do what is best. I don't pick the equipment, I just have to install it.

    Like my friend Ron Popeil says "Set it and forget it"!
