GEM Installation Manual
Legionella control programming is performed using screen 5 in the setup menu:
To enable the Legionella Control cycle set "Legionella Cycle" to "YES"
The program settings will now be displayed:
Each output can be programmed separately. The program for output 1 is set on the line labelled "OP1"
and output 2 on line "OP2"
Press the setup button briefly to advance to each setting to be adjusted and use the
adjust to the required setting.
To disable a programme if control on only one output is needed, set the time to 00:00
The program will commence at the set starting day and time and will continue to heat the water
until the programmed temperature is reached. When the programmed temperature is reached
the cycle will terminate and normal PV optimising will resume.
If the Apollo GEM tank temperature sensor is not used, the temperature set by the electric hot
water thermostat will be used, therefore this should be set to a minimum of
The legionella cycle will always heat at full power until the required temperature is reached. If
insufficient excess power is available power will be imported to complete the cycle.
To minimise energy costs is it recommended that the cycle is either programmed to start during
off peak tariff times (if you have one) or around midday when PV power is likely to be at its
highest.

Questions and answers
My Apollo goes into boost at any time for between three and five minutes randomly
Our Apollo GEM is causing the house RCD to trip - any ideas why? We are experiencing some trouble with the local mains supply such as the occasional power surge - could this be the cause?I have turned the Gem off for now and the RCD is now holding. The Gem has worked perfectly since installed in 2014/15. Fairly certain that the power sensor is the problem - turn this off and no RCD trip. Thankyou for any advice.
The Apollo GEM may be causing the house RCD to trip due to incorrect sensor installation. If the current sensor is installed the wrong way around, it may cause incorrect power readings, leading to improper operation. The installation manual suggests checking the sensor installation by verifying LED indicators. If the orange LED flashes instead of the green LED, the sensor is reversed and needs to be re-clamped or have its wiring reversed. Additionally, connecting unsuitable appliances to the Apollo GEM’s variable power output may cause electrical issues, as only heating devices should be used in that mode.
