1) Introduction
Domestic Hot Water Heat Pumps (DHW-HP), with or without air connections ducts, use the heat existing in the
surrounding air, or the wasted heat from the indoor air, as energy source for DHW preparation.
This model of domestic hot water heat pump provides hot water for residential purposes, using a closed refrigerant
unit filled with R134a. This ensures the energy production taking out the energy from the air – the cold source –
and delivers the energy to a secondary circuit – the water – where a simple circulation pump, ensures the water
movement through a plate heat exchanger, heating the water that is stored in a tank.
2) Working Principle
There are 2 variants of heat pumps, depending on the working conditions:
- Positive working temperatures: +5ºC / +35ºC
- Negative working temperatures: -10ºC / +35ºC
Note: In case the air temperature is out of the specified working range, the appliance automatically activates the
electrical back up (if in Combi mode). One hour after the warning display (HOT or COLD) has appeared; the
appliance checks the air temperature and, in case it is within the range values, returns to heat pump mode
operation.
The control loop for air temperature check is done every hour, while the electrical backup is in operation.

Changes done in new version:
- “Syst” message indication in case of detection of PV energy production;
+
- Introduction of new parameter “Rcir” (see IM) for software information about existence of external recirculation of
domestic hot water;
- E09 / E11 lockout activates automatically electrical heater to ensure minimum 40ºC hot water in tank (in combi or
in heat pump mode).
From FD ≥ 555 (July 2015):

o Set Point – default set point of 50ºC was changed to 54ºC due to ErP directive;
o Operation in Automatic Mode – in previous version was not possible to deactivate the external booster
heater (boiler = boil ON) according the defined automatic program mode (P1, P2, P3) in combination with
boiler. The boiler did not switch off after reaching the set point and the correction was using only manual mode.
o Full Mode – the manual (FULL) activation will have from now on, priority even in inactivity periods defined in
P1 / P2 / P3.

o Comfort Improvement – to improve comfort a waiting time was introduced, so while heating, the appliance will
be able to detect if the user is tapping water. In situations where the storage tank has an uniform temperature
near the set point and a tapping is detected, the heat pump will stop for 1 hour to maximize the use of hot water
in top part.
o Changes in Air Defrost sequence
(Attention: only +5ºC / +35ºC model)
Current Behavior:
Air defrost sequence is activated during 10 min with fan On and compressor Off when 5ºC < T
air
(3d) < 10ºC for
more than 60 min and compressor is ON for more than 60 min. The number of air defrost (8d) will depend on other
conditions listed in this manual.
This new software version brings additionally an air defrost sequence activated during 45 min when 0ºC < T
air
<
5ºC, as due to ErP directive and to decrease electrical consumption for cold climate the appliance wilkl be allowed
to operate when possible below minimum limit.

2.2) Protection Modes
Anti-Freeze Protection
The anti freeze protection is designed to protect both the module and the tank and is active in all conditions,
specially, when the appliance is set in Heat Pump, standby, OFF and Holyday (Hol) modes.
Note: In order to ensure the anti freeze protection activation, the mains plug must not be disconnected.

(Attention: only +5ºC / +35ºC model)
Current Behaviour:
Air defrost sequence is activated when 5ºC < T
air
< 10ºC for more than 60 min and compressor is ON for more than
60 min. the nº of cycles depends on detection of following additional conditions.

< T
air
(3d) < + 5ºC will last for more than 60 min and compressor is ON for more than 60 min, the evaporator defrost
will start. The fan will run during 45 min to defrost evaporator and in the meanwhile the electric heater will heat up
the water.

Compressor is ON for more than 60 min and
T

Pict.13 – Compressor Connection Detail
Compressor
- After turn ON the appliance, the compressor should operate for more than 5 minutes.
- The compressor should be operated for more than 20 seconds within 15 minutes after charging refrigerant
into the system to ensure proper lubrication
- The compressor should never be operated while under vacuum, otherwise, internal arcing can damage
some parts.
- The compressor should not be left opened in the atmosphere for more than 5 minutes.
