• General recommendations for users of InstalSystem 4 starting work with InstalSystem 5
• Heat source dimensioning for installations with flat stations
• How to calculate a file using a package configuration other than the one under which the file was created
• How to draw a building with patio
• How to eliminate messages about activation problems
• How to eliminate: "Automatic division of H/C Zone not possible"
• How to eliminate: "Automatic arrangement of pipe feeds not possible - change pipe feeds route or H/C Zone parameters or arrange pipe feeds manually"
• How to eliminate: "Cannot apply any pipe spacing"
• How to eliminate: "Cannot determine Dpmin on valve"
• How to eliminate: "Incorrect building contour"
• How to eliminate: "MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE PRESSURE DROP ON VALVE EXCEEDED"
• How to eliminate: "Max. working load %.1f exceeds permissible value %.1f for selected floor construction (insulation). Insulation was not determined"
• How to eliminate: "No R.H./R.C. loop found. Loop drawing required for heating/cooling output calculations"
• How to eliminate: "PRESSURE DROP TOO HIGH - modify the parameters of H/C Zone or H/C Area"
• How to eliminate: "Terminal unit connection system from other catalogue than connection pipes"
