Subject to technical amendments without prior notice | 83071000aUK | ait-deutschland GmbH

Existing earthing connections within housings or on

mounting plates must not be altered. If this should nev-

ertheless be necessary in the course of repair or as-

sembly work:

►Restore earthing connections to their original con-

dition after completion of the work.

Injuries caused by moving parts

►Only switch on the unit once outer panels and the

exibleairductsystemADHhavebeentted.

Injuries caused by high temperatures

►Before working on the unit, let it cool down.

Injuries and environmental damage due to

refrigerant

WARNING

The unit contains ammable (primary)

refrigerant that is hazardous to health and

the environment. If (primary) refrigerant

leaks from the unit, there is a risk of an

explosion:

1. Switcho󰀨unit.

2. Keep the unit away from ignition sources.

3. Thoroughly ventilate installation area.

4. Notify authorised after sales service.

Safety labels

►Observe safety labels on and in the unit.

2.5 Disposal

Environmentally harmful media

Improper disposal of environmentally harmful media

((primary) refrigerant) damages the environment:

►Collect media safely.

►Dispose of the media in an environmentally-friend-

ly manner according to the local regulations.

2.6 Avoid damage to property

The ambient air at the heat pump installation site, as

well as the air drawn in as a heat source, must not

contain any corrosive constituents!

Constituents such as

●Ammonia

●Sulphur

●Chlorine

●Salt

● Sewergasses,uegasses

can cause damage to the heat pump, which could lead

to the complete failure / destruction of the heat pump!

Decommissioning/emptying heating

If the system / heat pump is decommissioned or

emptied,afterithasbeenlledalready,itisnecessary

toensurethatthecondenserandanyheatexchangers

present have been completely emptied in the event

of frost. Residual water in heat exchangers and

condensers can result in damage to components.

►Empty system and condenser completely, open

vent valves.

►Blast out with compressed air if necessary.

Improper action

Requirements for minimum scale and corrosion

damage in hot water heating systems:

●Proper planning, design and commissioning

●Closed system with regard to corrosion

●Integration of an adequately dimensioned

pressure maintaining device

●Use of demineralised heating water (VE water) or

water corresponding to the VDI 2035 norm

●Regular servicing and maintenance

If a system is not planned, designed, started up and

operated in accordance with the given requirements,

there is a risk that the following damage and faults will

occur:

●Malfunctions and the failure of components, e.g.

pumps, valves

● Internal and external leaks, e.g. from heat

exchangers

6Subject to technical amendments without prior notice | 83071000aUK | ait-deutschland GmbH

●Cross-section reduction and blockages in

components,e.g.heatexchanger,pipes,pumps

●Material fatigue

●Gas bubbles and gas cushion formation

(cavitation)

● Negativee󰀨ectonheattransfer,e.g.formationof

coatings, deposits, and associated noises, e.g.

boilingnoises,ownoises

►Note and follow the information in this operating

manual for all work on and with the unit.

Unsuitablequalityofthellandmake-up

water in the heating circuit

The e󰀩ciency of the system and the life of the heat

generator and the heating components depend

decisively on the quality of the heating water.

If the system is lled with untreated drinking water,

calcium precipitates as scale. Limescale deposits

form on the heat transfer surfaces of the heating. The

e󰀩ciency drops and energy costs rise. In extreme

casestheheatexchangersaredamaged.

►Fill the system with deionised heating water

(VE water) or with water corresponding to the VDI

2035 norm only (low-salt operation of the system).

4 Operation and care

NOTE

The unit is operated via the control panel

of the heating and heat pump controller

( operating manual of the heating and

heat pump controller).

4.1 Energy-conscious and

environmentally-aware operation

The generally accepted requirements for an energy-

conscious and environmentally-aware operation of a

heating system also apply when using a heat pump.

The most important measures include:

● Nounnecessarilyhighowtemperature

●No unnecessarily high domestic hot water

temperature (note and follow local regulations)

●Do not open windows with gap / tilt open

(continuous ventilation), but instead open wide for

a short time (shock ventilation).

●Make sure that the controller settings are correct.

4.2 Care

Wipe down the outside of the unit only using a damp

cloth or cloth with mild cleaning agent (washing-up

liquid, neutral cleaning agent). Do not use any harsh,

abrasive, acid or chlorine-based cleaning agents.

3.4 Function

Liquid refrigerant is evaporated (evaporator), the

energy for this process is environmental heat and

comes from the outside air. The gaseous refrigerant

is compressed (compressor), this causes the pressure

to rise and therefore the temperature too. The

gaseousrefrigerantatahightemperatureisliqueed

(condenser).

The high temperature is hereby discharged to the

heating water and is used in the heating circuit.

The liquid refrigerant at a high pressure and high

temperature is depressurised (expansion valve).

The pressure and temperature drop and the process

begins again.

The heated heating water can be used for the domestic

hot water charging or for the building heating. The

temperatures required and use are controlled by the

heat pump controller. Reheating, drying out screed or

increasing the domestic hot water temperature can be

carried out using an electric heating element, which

is activated by the heat pump controller as and when

necessary.

The vibration decoupling for the hydraulics prevent

structure-borne sound and vibrations from being

transferredintothexedpipesandthereforeintothe

building.

Cooling

Cooling is integrated in the units. The following

options are possible for units with cooling function

( operating manual of the heating and heat pump

controller):

●Active cooling

Cooling in conjunction with hydraulic module

HV 4 or hydraulic station HSV 4 possible to 18°C.

Possible to 7 °C in conjunction with wall-mounted

controller WR 4.

●Cooling below 18°C is only possible in the case

ofhydraulicintegrationwithseparationbu󰀨ertank

●Control of the cooling function via the heating and

heat pump controller

●Changeover between heating and cooling

operation

place.

Exampleofrightsidepanel:

►Proceed in reverse order to reattach the panels.

3. Lift the unit from the front onto a handcart and se-

cure it there before transporting it to the installa-

tion site.

≤ 45°

5.3.4 Carrying the unit

1. Remove the panels of the unit.

“5.3.3 Transport with a handcart”, page 9

►Carry the unit to the installation site with 2 per-

sons.

5.4 Installation

CAUTION

In the air outlet area the air temperature is

approx. 5 K below the ambient temperature.

Under certain climatic conditions, an ice

layer can therefore form in the air outlet

area. Install the heat pump such that the

air blower does not discharge into footpath

areas

Installation room and space requirements

NOTE

Note and follow the local regulations and

standards regarding the installation room and

space requirements. The table shows the

regulations according to EN 378-1 relevant

in Germany.

Refrigerant Limit value [kg/m³]

R 134a 0.25

R 404A 0.52

R 407C 0.31

R 410A 0.44

R 448A 0.39

R 454B 0.059

“Technical data / Scope of supply”, page 24

Minimum room volume = Refrigerant capacity [kg]

Limit value [kg/m³]

NOTE

If several heat pumps of the same type are

installed, only one heat pump need to be
