EC declaration of conformity

Safety

The unit is operationally safe when used for the intend-

ed purpose. The construction and design of the unit con-

form to the state of the art, all relevant DIN/VDE regu-

lations and all relevant safety regulations.

Every person who performs work on the unit must have

read and understood the operating manual prior to

starting any work. This also applies if the respective per-

son has already worked with such a unit or a similar unit

or has been trained by the manufacturer.

Every person who performs work on the unit must com-

ply with the applicable accident prevention and safety

regulations. This applies in particular to the wearing of

personal safety gear.

DANGER

Danger of fatal injury due to electric

current!

Electrical connections may be installed

only by qualied electricians.

Before opening the unit, disconnect the

system from the power supply and secure

it from being switched back on!

ATTENTION

If using the unit in 3~230V systems, please note

that the residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB)

used must be AC-DC sensitive.

WARNING

Only qualied technicians (trained heat-

ing, cooling and electrical technicians)

may perform work on the unit and its

components.

WARNING

Observe safety labels on and in the unit.

WARNING

Unit contains refrigerants!

Leaking refrigerant could result in person-

al injury or material damage. Therefore:

– Shut down unit.

– Notify the manufacturer’s authorized

service center.

Subject to change without notice | 83054200hUK – Translation into English of the original German operating manual | ait-deutschland GmbH

ATTENTION

For safety reasons:

Never disconnect the unit from the power sup-

ply, unless the unit is being opened.

ATTENTION

Install the heat pump only outdoors and operate

only with outside air as the heat source. Do not

restrict or block the air-conducting sides.

Dimensional drawing and installation plan for re-

spective unit model.

WARNING

Never switch on unit if air ow bafes on

the unit are removed.

ATTENTION

The integration of the heat pump in ventila-

tion systems is not permissible. The use of the

cooled air for cooling purposes is not permitted.

ATTENTION

The ambient air in the location where the heat-

ing pump is installed and also the intake air which

is used as a source of heat must not contain any

kind of corrosive components!

Components such as ammonia, sulphur, chlo-

rine, salt, sewer gas, ue gases etc. may cause

damage leading to complete failure or even a to-

tal write-off of the heating pump!

CAUTION

In the air outlet area the air temperature

is ca. 5 K below the ambient temperature.

Under certain climatic conditions, there-

fore, an ice layer can form in the air out-

let area. Install the heat pump so that the

air blower does not blow in the direction

of footpaths.

Operating principle of heat

pumps

Heat pumps operate on the principle of a refrigerator:

the same technology, only with the opposite effect. The

refrigerator extracts heat from foods, which is released

into the room through ns on the back.

The heat pump extracts heat from our environment: air,

earth or water. The extracted heat is conditioned in the

unit and supplied to the heating water. Even when it is

extremely cold outside, the heat pump draws enough

heat to heat a house.

Example: drawing of a brine/water heat pump with oor

heating:

4⁄4= usable energy

ca. 3⁄4= environmental energy

ca. 1⁄4= external electrical energy

Area of utilization

Taking into consideration the ambient conditions, limits

of application and the applicable regulations, every heat

pump can be utilized in new or existing heating systems.

Overview “Technical data/scope of delivery”.

Heat quantity recording

In addition to the proof of the unit’s efciency,

EEWaermeGalso meets the demand for a heat quantity

recording (hereafter refered to as HQR). The HQR

is mandatory with air/water heat pumps. With brine/

water and water/water heat pumps, a HQR may only be

set up when a forward ow temperature of ≥ 35 °C has

been reached. The HQR must record the total warm

energy release (heating and hot water) in the building. In

heat pumps with heat quantity recording, the analysis is

conducted by the regulator. The regulator displays the

thermal energy that is exchanged from the heating system

in kWh.

Operation

Your decision to purchase a heat pump or a heat pump

system is a long-term contribution to protecting the en-

vironment through low emissions and reduced primary

energy use.

You can operate and control the heat pump system with

the control element of the heating and heat pump regu-

lator.

NOTICE

Make sure that the control settings are correct.

Operating manual of the heating and heat pump

regulator.

To ensure that your heat pump or heat pump system

operates efciently and ecologically, the following are

especially important:

€ENERGY SAVING TIP

Avoid unnecessarily high ow temperatures.

A lower ow temperature on the hot water side

increases the efciency of the system.

€ENERGY SAVING TIP

When letting in fresh air, do not leave windows

open for an extended period, thus saving energy

and reducing your heating costs.

Care of the unit

The outer surfaces of the unit can be cleaned with a

damp cloth and household cleaning products.

Do not use cleaning or care products that contain abra-

sives, acids and/or chlorine. Such products would de-

stroy the surfaces and could also damage the technical

components of the unit.

Maintenance of the unit

The cooling circuit of the heat pump requires no regu-

lar maintenance.

According to EU regulation (EC) 517/2014, leak

inspections and maintenance of a log book are required

by law for certain heat pumps!

Log book for heat pumps, Section “Information

on use of the log book”.

The components of the heating circuit and the heat

source (valves, expansion vessels, circulating pumps,

lters, dirt traps) should be inspected as well as cleaned

as needed - at the very least annually - by a qualied

heating or cooling system technician.

The intake and blow-out openings must be inspected for

dirt at regular intervals (depending on the installation lo-

cation) and cleaned, if necessary.

ATTENTION

Check regularly to ensure that the condensate

can drain out of the unit unobstructed. To this

end, regularly check the condensate pan in the

unit and the condensate drain to ensure that

they are clean / free from obstructions and clean

as needed.

Icing of the protective grating

When temperatures fall below freezing and high levels

of humidity are present, ice can form on the protective

grating of the air ow bafes. In order to ensure prob-

lem-free operations, the ice must be removed on a reg-

ular basis.

It is a good idea to have a maintenance contract with a

heating installation company. The company will conduct

the required maintenance at regular intervals.

CLEANING AND RINSING OF UNIT COMPONENTS

CAUTION

Unit components may be cleaned and

rinsed only by customer service personnel

authorized by the manufacturer. Use only

liquids recommended by the manufacturer.

Rinsing of the liqueer with chemical

cleaning agents must be followed by neu-

tralization of residue and intensive rinsing

with water. Always observe the technical

data of the manufacturer of the heat ex-

changer.

Malfunctions

In the event of a malfunction, you can detect the cause of

the malfunction via the diagnostic program of the heating

and heat pump regulator.

Operating manual of the heating and heat pump

regulator.

WARNING

Service and repair work on the compo-

nents of the unit may be performed only

by customer service personnel authorized

by the manufacturer.

Note that no malfunction is displayed if the safety tem-

perature limiter on the electric heating element has

been triggered (depending on unit model).

SOUND

The noise emission from the heat pumps must be taken

into account in the respective installation plans for air /

water heat pumps. The respective regional regulations

must be complied with.

NOTE.

The following sound pressure levels are calcu-

lated values. Other constellations, adjoining

other buildings or even reecting surfaces may

lead to a level increase. An exact specication

of each sound pressure level is possible only

through a measurement spot when the heat

pump is already installed.

The following sound pressure levels result, depending on the distance and installation variant with directivity factor Q.
