1 General safety precautions
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them
directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to
evacuate the installation.
NOTICE
After all the piping has been connected, make sure there is
no gas leak. Use nitrogen to perform a gas leak detection.
NOTICE
▪ To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more
than the specified amount of refrigerant.
▪ When the refrigerant system is to be opened,
refrigerant MUST be treated according to the applicable
legislation.
WARNING
Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant
may only be charged after performing the leak test and the
vacuum drying.
▪ In case recharge is required, see the nameplate of the unit. It
states the type of refrigerant and necessary amount.
▪ The unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending on pipe
sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional charging
of refrigerant.
▪ Only use tools exclusively for the refrigerant type used in the
system, this to ensure pressure resistance and prevent foreign
materials from entering into the system.
▪ Charge the liquid refrigerant as follows:
IfThen
A siphon tube is present
(i.e., the cylinder is marked with
"Liquid filling siphon attached")

down.
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of brine leakage. If
brine leaks, ventilate the area immediately and contact
your local dealer.
WARNING
The ambient temperature inside the unit can get much
higher than that of the room, e.g. 70°C. In case of a brine
leak, hot parts inside the unit can create a hazardous
situation.
WARNING
The use and installation of the application MUST comply
with the safety and environmental precautions specified in
the applicable legislation.
1.2.5Water
If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide
of your application for more information.

98/83EC.
1.2.6Electrical
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
▪ Turn OFF all power supply before removing the
switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or
touching electrical parts.
▪ Disconnect the power supply for more than 1 minute,
and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit
capacitors or electrical components before servicing.
The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you
can touch electrical components. For the location of the
terminals, see the wiring diagram.
▪ Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.
▪ Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service
cover is removed.
▪ Open refrigerant cylinders slowly.
▪ Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may
prevent normal operation.
CAUTION
When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when
pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank
immediately. If the valve is NOT closed immediately,
remaining pressure might charge additional refrigerant.
Possible consequence: Incorrect refrigerant amount.
1.2.4Brine
If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide
of your application for more information.
WARNING
The selection of the brine MUST be in accordance with the
applicable legislation.

breakers.
▪ Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure
to do so may cause electric shock or fire.
▪ When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure
it is compatible with the inverter (resistant to high
frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening
of the earth leakage protector.
CAUTION
When connecting the power supply, the earth connection
must be made before the current-carrying connections are
established. When disconnecting the power supply, the
current-carrying connections must be separated before the
earth connection is. The length of the conductors between
the power supply stress relief and the terminal block itself
must be as such that the current-carrying wires are
tautened before the earth wire is in case the power supply
is pulled loose from the stress relief.
NOTICE
Precautions when laying power wiring:
▪ Do NOT connect wiring of different thicknesses to the
power terminal block (slack in the power wiring may
cause abnormal heat).
▪ When connecting wiring which is the same thickness,
do as shown in the figure above.
▪ For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect
firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being
exerted on the terminal board.
▪ Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the
terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will
damage the head and make proper tightening
impossible.
▪ Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.
WARNING
▪ After finishing the electrical work, confirm that each
electrical component and terminal inside the electrical
components box is connected securely.
▪ Make sure all covers are closed before starting up the
unit.
NOTICE
Only applicable if the power supply is three‑phase, and the

▪ A thermostatic valve is installed before the underfloor heating in
each of the other rooms.
5.2.2Multiple rooms – OneLWT zone
If only one leaving water temperature zone is needed because the
design leaving water temperature of all heat emitters is the same,
you do NOT need a mixing valve station (cost effective).
Example: If the heat pump system is used to heat up one floor
where all the rooms have the same heat emitters.
Underfloor heating or radiators – Thermostatic
valves
If you are heating up rooms with underfloor heating or radiators, a
very common way is to control the temperature of the main room by
using a thermostat (this can either be the dedicated Human Comfort
Interface (BRC1HHDA) or an external room thermostat), while the
other rooms are controlled by so-called thermostatic valves, which
open or close depending on the room temperature.
INFORMATION
Mind situations where the main room can be heated by
another heating source. Example: Fireplaces.

▪ For each room, a shut-off valve (field supplied) is installed to avoid
leaving water supply when there is no heating or cooling demand.
▪ A bypass valve must be installed to make water recirculation
possible when all shut-off valves are closed.
▪ The user interface integrated in the indoor unit decides the space
operation mode. Mind that the operation mode on each room
thermostat must be set to match the indoor unit.
▪ The room thermostats are connected to the shut-off valves, but do
NOT have to be connected to the indoor unit. The indoor unit will
supply leaving water all the time, with the possibility to program a

5.2.3Multiple rooms – TwoLWT zones
If the heat emitters selected for each room are designed for different
leaving water temperatures, you can use different leaving water
temperature zones (maximum 2).
In this document:
▪ Main zone = Zone with the lowest design temperature in heating,
and the highest design temperature in cooling
▪ Additional zone = Zone with the highest design temperature in
heating, and the lowest design temperature in cooling.
CAUTION
If there is more than one leaving water zone, ALWAYS
install a mixing valve station in the main zone to decrease
(in heating) the leaving water temperature when the
additional zone has demand.
Typical example:

▪ Comfort.
▪ The smart room thermostat functionality can decrease or
increase the desired leaving water temperature based on the
actual room temperature (modulation).
▪ The combination of the two heat emitter systems provides the
excellent heating comfort of the underfloor heating, and the
excellent cooling comfort of the heatpump convectors.
▪ Efficiency.
▪ Depending on the demand, the indoor unit supplies different
leaving water temperature matching the design temperature of
the different heat emitters.
▪ Underfloor heating has the best performance with the heat
pump system.
5.3Setting up an auxiliary heat source
for space heating
▪ Space heating can be done by:
▪ The indoor unit
▪ An auxiliary boiler (field supply) connected to the system
▪ When the room thermostat requests heating, the indoor unit or the
auxiliary boiler starts operating depending on the outdoor
temperature (status of the changeover to external heat source).
When the permission is given to the auxiliary boiler, the space
heating by the indoor unit is turned OFF.
▪ Bivalent operation is only possible for space heating, NOT for
domestic hot water production. Domestic hot water is always
produced by the DHW tank connected to the indoor unit.
INFORMATION
▪ During heating operation of the heat pump, the
heat pump operates to achieve the desired
temperature set via the user interface. When weatherdependent operation is active, the water temperature is
determined automatically depending on the outdoor
temperature.
▪ During heating operation of the auxiliary boiler, the
auxiliary boiler operates to achieve the desired water
temperature set via the auxiliary boiler controller.
Setup
▪ Integrate the auxiliary boiler as follows:
A Main leaving water temperature zone
B One single room
a Dedicated Human Comfort Interface (BRC1HHDA used as
room thermostat)
b Remote outdoor sensor
c Non-return valve (field supply)

A Domestic hot water
a Cold water IN
b Hot water OUT
c Remote outdoor sensor
5.4.2Selecting the volume and desired
temperature for the DHW tank
People experience water as hot when its temperature is 40°C.
Therefore, the DHW consumption is always expressed as equivalent
hot water volume at 40°C. However, you can set the DHW tank
temperature at a higher temperature (example: 53°C), which is then
mixed with cold water (example: 15°C).
Selecting the desired temperature for the DHW tank consists of:
1Determining the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water
volume at 40°C).
2Determining the desired temperature for the DHW tank.
Determining the DHW consumption
Answer the following questions and calculate the DHW consumption
(equivalent hot water volume at 40°C) using typical water volumes:
QuestionTypical water volume
How many showers are needed
per day?
How many baths are needed per
day?
How much water is needed at the
kitchen sink per day?
Are there any other domestic hot
water needs?
1shower = 10min×10l/min =
100l
1bath = 150l
1sink = 2min×5l/min = 10l

Example: If the DHW consumption of a family (4 persons) per day
is as follows:

▪ 1 bath
▪ 3 sink volumes
Then the DHW consumption = (3×100l)+(1×150l)+(3×10l)=480l

INFORMATION
DHW tank volume. You cannot select the volume of the
DHW tank because only one size is available.
Energy saving tips
▪ If the DHW consumption differs from day to day, you can program
a weekly schedule with different desired DHW tank temperatures
for each day.
▪ The lower the desired DHW tank temperature, the more cost
effective.
▪ The heatpump itself can produce domestic hot water of maximum
55°C. The electrical resistance (backup heater) integrated in the
heat pump can increase this temperature. However, this
consumes more energy. We recommend to set the desired DHW
tank temperature below 55°C to avoid using the electrical
resistance.
▪ When the heatpump produces domestic hot water, it cannot heat
up a space. In case you need domestic hot water and space
heating at the same, we recommend to produce the domestic hot
water during the night when there is lower space heating demand.

must modify field setting [2‑0E] according to the maximum
allowed current over the heat pump.
Note that field setting [2‑0E] overrules all power
consumption control settings. Power limiting the heat pump
will reduce performance.

▪ Set the desired power limitation level
5.6.2Power limitation activated by digital
inputs
Power limitation is also useful in combination with an energy
management system.
The power or current of the entire Daikin system is limited
dynamically by digital inputs (maximum four steps). Each power
limitation level is set via the user interface by limiting one of the
following:
▪ Current (in A)
▪ Power input (in kW)
The energy management system (field supply) decides the activation
of a certain power limitation level. Example: To limit the maximum
power of the entire house (lighting, domestic appliances, space
heating…).
Configuration
▪ Set the power consumption control settings in [9.9] via the user
interface (for the description of all settings, see
"10Configuration"[455]):
▪ Select limitation by digital inputs.
▪ Select the type of limitation (power in kW or current in A).
▪ Set the desired power limitation level corresponding to each
digital input.
INFORMATION
In case more than 1 digital input is closed (at the same
time), the digital input priority is fixed: DI4 priority>…>DI1.
5.6.3Power limitation process
The compressor has better efficiency than the electrical heater.
Therefore, the electrical heater is limited and turned OFF first. The
system limits power consumption in the following order:
1Limits the backup heater.
2Turns OFF the backup heater.
3Limits the compressor.
4Turns OFF the compressor.
Example
If the power limitation level does NOT allow operation of full backup
heater capacity, then power consumption is limited as follows:
A Indoor unit
B Energy management system
a Power limitation activation (4 digital inputs)
b Backup heater
PiPower input
t Time
DI Digital inputs (power limitation levels)
a Power limitation active
b Actual power input
Setup
▪ Demand PCB (option EKRP1AHTA) needed.
▪ Maximum four digital inputs are used to activate the
corresponding power limitation level:
▪ DI1 = weakest limitation (highest energy consumption)
▪ DI4 = strongest limitation (lowest energy consumption)
▪ For the specifications of the digital inputs, and for where to
connect them, refer to the wiring diagram.

current sensors and one of the sensors is disconnected,
the corresponding phase is not limited anymore.
Current sensors can be used to limit the consumption of the heat
pump on every phase taking into account the set household fuse
and the actual consumption of other appliances.
Current sensors must be installed before the main fuses on each
phase to make use of this feature. This function can be useful in
countries where the government gives incentives to limit the fuse
sizes.

5.7Setting up an external temperature
sensor
Indoor ambient temperature
You can connect one external temperature sensor. It can measure
the indoor ambient temperature. We recommend to use an external
temperature sensor in the following cases:
▪ In room thermostat control, the dedicated Human Comfort
Interface (BRC1HHDA) is used as room thermostat and it
measures the indoor ambient temperature. Therefore, the
dedicated Human Comfort Interface must be installed on a
location:
▪ Where the average temperature in the room can be detected
▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
▪ That is NOT near a heat source
▪ That is NOT affected by outside air or air draught because of,
for example, door opening/closing
▪ If this is NOT possible, we recommend to connect a remote indoor
sensor (option KRCS01-1).
▪ Setup and configuration:
See:
▪ Installation manual of the remote indoor sensor
▪ Addendum book for optional equipment

65°C
70°C
NOTICE
In case of plastic pipes, make sure they are fully oxygen
diffusion tight according to DIN 4726. The diffusion of
oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.
▪ Circuit types. Except for the refrigerant circuit, inside the unit 2
other circuits are included. For future references: the circuit
connected to the bore hole is referred to as the brine circuit, the
other circuit connected to the heating emitters is referred to as the
space heating circuit.
▪ Connecting piping – Legislation. Make all piping connections in
accordance with the applicable legislation and the instructions in
the "Installation" chapter, respecting the water inlet and outlet.
▪ Connecting piping – Force. Do NOT use excessive force when
connecting the piping. Deformation of the piping can cause
malfunctioning of the unit.
▪ Connecting piping – Tools. Only use appropriate tooling to
handle brass, which is a soft material. If NOT, pipes will get
damaged.
▪ Connecting piping – Air, moisture, dust. If air, moisture or dust
gets into the circuit, problems may occur. To prevent this:
▪ Only use clean pipes
▪ Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.
▪ Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall, to prevent
dust and/or particles from entering the pipe.
▪ Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.
▪ Closed circuit. Use the indoor unit ONLY in a closed water
system for brine circuit and space heating circuit. Using the
system in an open water system will lead to excessive corrosion.
WARNING
When connecting to an open groundwater system, an
intermediate heat exchanger is required to prevent
damage (dirt, freeze ups) to the unit.
▪ Expansion vessel – Water side. To avoid cavitation, install an
expansion vessel (field supply) on the entering pipe before the
water pump within 10m of the unit.
▪ Glycol. For safety reasons, it is NOT allowed to add any kind of
glycol to the space heating circuit.
▪ Piping length. It is recommended to avoid long runs of piping
between the domestic hot water tank and the hot water end point
(shower, bath,…) and to avoid dead ends.
▪ Piping diameter. Select the piping diameter in relation to the
required flow and the available external static pressure of the
pump. See "16 Technical data" [4 98] for the external static
pressure curves of the indoor unit.
▪ Fluid flow. Depending on the type of operation, the minimum
required flow can be different. See "7.1.3 To check the water
volume and flow rate of the space heating circuit and brine
circuit"[429] for more information.
▪ Field supply components – Fluid. Only use materials that are
compatible with fluid used in the system and with the materials
used in the indoor unit.
▪ Field supply components – Fluid pressure and temperature.
Check that all components in the field piping can withstand the
fluid pressure and fluid temperature.
▪ Fluid pressure – Space heating and brine circuit. The
maximum fluid pressure of the space heating and brine circuit is
3bar.
▪ Fluid pressure – Domestic hot water tank. The maximum fluid
pressure of the domestic hot water tank is 10 bar. Provide
adequate safeguards in the water circuit to ensure that the
maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.
▪ Fluid temperature. All installed piping and piping accessories
(valve, connections,…) MUST withstand the following
temperatures:
INFORMATION
The following illustration is an example and might NOT
match your system layout.
▪ Drainage – Low points. Provide drain taps at all low points of the
system in order to allow complete drainage of the circuit.
▪ Drainage – Pressure relief valve. Connect the drain hose
properly to the drain to avoid water dripping out of the unit. See
"6.3.4To connect the drain hose to the drain"[427].
▪ Zn-coated parts. NEVER use Zn-coated parts in the fluid circuit.
Because the unit's internal circuit uses copper piping, excessive
corrosion may occur. Zn-coated parts used in the brine circuit may
lead to the precipitation of certain components in the anti-freeze
fluids corrosion inhibitor.
WARNING
Due to presence of glycol, corrosion of the system is
possible. Uninhibited glycol will turn acidic under the
influence of oxygen. This process is accelerated by the
presence of copper and high temperatures. The acidic
uninhibited glycol attacks metal surfaces and forms
galvanic corrosion cells that cause severe damage to the
system. Therefore it is important that:
▪ the water treatment is correctly executed by a qualified
water specialist,
▪ a glycol with corrosion inhibitors is selected to
counteract acids formed by the oxidation of glycols,
▪ no automotive glycol is used because their corrosion
inhibitors have a limited lifetime and contain silicates
which can foul or plug the system,
▪ galvanized pipes are NOT used in glycol systems since
the presence may lead to the precipitation of certain
components in the glycol's corrosion inhibitor.

INFORMATION
Be aware of the hygroscopic property of anti-freeze fluids:
it absorbs moisture from its environment. Leaving the cap
off the anti-freeze fluid container causes the concentration
of water to increase. The anti-freeze fluid concentration is
then lower than assumed. And in consequence, freezing
can happen after all.
Preventive actions MUST be taken to ensure minimal
exposure of the anti-freeze fluid to air.
▪ Non-brass metallic piping. When using non-brass metallic
piping, insulate the brass and non-brass properly so that they do
NOT make contact with each other. This to prevent galvanic
corrosion.
▪ Valve – Change‑over time. When using a 2-way valve in the
space heating circuit, the maximum change-over time of the valve
MUST be 60seconds.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Capacity. To avoid stagnation of
water, it is important that the storage capacity of the domestic hot
water tank meets the daily consumption of domestic hot water.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – After installation. Immediately after
installation, the domestic hot water tank must be flushed with fresh
water. This procedure must be repeated at least once a day the
first 5 consecutive days after installation.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Standstills. In cases where during
longer periods of time there is no consumption of hot water, the
equipment MUST be flushed with fresh water before usage.
▪ Thermostatic mixing valves. In accordance with the applicable
legislation, it may be necessary to install thermostatic mixing
valves.
▪ Hygienic measures. The installation must be in compliance with
the applicable legislation and may require additional hygienic
installation measures.
▪ Recirculation pump. In accordance with the applicable
legislation, it may be required to connect a recirculation pump in
between the hot water end point and the recirculation connection
of the domestic hot water tank.
▪ You might need to adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion
vessel.
▪ You must check the total space heating water volume in the unit.
▪ You must check the total brine water volume in the unit.
Minimum water volume
Check that the total water volume per circuit in the installation is
minimum 20litre, the internal water volume of the indoor unit NOT
included.
INFORMATION
If a minimum heating load of 1kW can be guaranteed and
setting [4.B] Space heating/cooling > Overshoot
(overview field setting [9‑04]) is 4°C, the minimum water
volume can be lowered to 10litre.
INFORMATION
In critical processes, or in rooms with a high heat load,
extra water might be required.
NOTICE

(b) Types of preferential kWh rate power supply:
INFORMATION
Some types of preferential kWh rate power supply require
a separate normal kWh rate power supply to the indoor
unit. This is required in the following cases:
▪ if the preferential kWh rate power supply is interrupted
when active, OR
▪ if no power consumption of the indoor unit is allowed at
the preferential kWh rate power supply when active.
About preferential kWh rate power supply
Electricity companies throughout the world work hard to provide
reliable electric service at competitive prices and are often
authorized to bill clients at benefit rates. E.g. time-of-use rates,
seasonal rates, Wärmepumpentarif in Germany and Austria, ...
—
This equipment allows for connection to such preferential kWh rate
power supply delivery systems.
Consult with the electricity company acting as provider at the site
where this equipment is to be installed to know whether it is
appropriate to connect the equipment in one of the preferential kWh
rate power supply delivery systems available, if any.
When the equipment is connected to such preferential kWh rate
power supply, the electricity company is allowed to:
▪ interrupt power supply to the equipment for certain periods of time;
▪ demand that the equipment only consumes a limited amount of
electricity during certain periods of time.
The indoor unit is designed to receive an input signal by which the
unit switches into forced off mode. At that moment, the unit
compressor will not operate.
The wiring to the unit is different depending on whether the power
supply is interrupted or not.
Maximum running current: Refer to name plate on unit.
Connect the factory-mounted power supply cable to a 1N~ or 3N~
power supply.
INFORMATION
The preferential kWh rate power supply contact is
connected to the same terminals (X5M/9+10) as the safety
thermostat. It is only possible for the system to have
EITHER preferential kWh rate power supply OR a safety
thermostat.

▪ For an overview of the possible system layouts, see
"9.1.1System layout"[444]. For more information about
the electrical wiring, see "9.2.1 Overview of electrical
connections"[445].
▪ The function of the router in the system depends on the
system layout. In case of app control (only), the router
is a mandatory system component, required for the
communication between Daikin Altherma system and
smartphone. In case of Smart Grid application (only),
the router is NOT a mandatory component, but only
used for configuration purposes. In case of app control
+ Smart Grid application, you need the router both as a
system component and for configuration purposes.
▪ The smartphone and Online Controller app are used to
perform a LAN adapter software update (if required).
Therefore, ALWAYS take a smartphone plus app to the
installation site, also when the adapter is only used for
the Smart Grid application.
▪ Some tools and components might already be available
on site. Before going on site, find out which
components are already at hand, and which ones you
need to provide (e.g. router, electricity meter, …).

9.2.4Solar inverter/energy management
system
INFORMATION
Before installation, confirm that the solar inverter/energy
management system is equipped with the digital outputs
required to connect it to the LAN adapter. For more
information, see "9.5Smart Grid application"[451].
Connector X1A is for the connection of the LAN adapter to the digital
outputs of a solar inverter/energy management system, and allows
for the integration of the Daikin Altherma system in a Smart Grid
application.
X1A/N+L supply a 230VAC detection voltage to the input contact of
X1A. The 230V AC detection voltage enables the detection of the
state (open or close) of the digital inputs and does NOT supply
power to the rest of the LAN adapter PCB.
Make sure X1A/N+L are protected by a fast acting circuit breaker
(rated current 100mA~6A, type B).
The rest of the wiring to X1A differs depending on the digital outputs
available on the solar inverter/energy management system and/or on
the Smart Grid operation modes that you want the system to run in.
For more information, see "9.5Smart Grid application"[451].

9.4.8Network settings
Normally, the LAN adapter applies network settings automatically,
and no changes to these are required. If required, however, it is
possible to configure network settings as follows:
▪ Via the configuration web interface (various settings);
▪ Via the DIP switch (custom static IP address only).
Note on the LAN adapter IP address
Assign an IP address to the LAN adapter in one of the following
ways:
IP addressDescription + method
DHCP protocol (default)The system automatically
assigns the LAN adapter an IP
address by way of the DHCP
protocol. This is the default
situation, and set on the
configuration web interface. See
"Via the configuration web
interface"[451].
Static IP addressBypass the DHCP protocol and
manually assign a static IP
address to the LAN adapter. Do
this via the configuration web
interface. See "Via the
configuration web
interface"[451].
Custom static IP addressBypass any IP settings made on
the configuration web interface
and assign a custom static IP
address to the LAN adapter. Do
this via the DIP switch. See "Via
the DIP switch"[451].
INFORMATION
Normally, network/IP settings are automatically applied
and require no changes. Only make changes to the
network/IP settings when absolutely required (e.g. when
the system does not detect the LAN adapter
automatically).
To configure network settings
Via the configuration web interface
1 Go to "Network settings" on the configuration web interface.
2 Configure network settings.

INFORMATION
By default "DHCP active" is set to "Automatic" and IP
settings are configured automatically and dynamically by
way of the DHCP protocol. When setting "DHCP active" to
"Manually", you bypass the DHCP protocol. Instead, define
a static IP address for the LAN adapter in the fields next to
"Static IP address".
When you set a static IP address for the LAN adapter, you
make access to the configuration web interface via the
URL (http://altherma.local) impossible. Therefore, when
setting a static IP address, note it down somewhere, this
for easy future access to the configuration web interface.
Via the DIP switch
The DIP switch allows you to assign a custom static IP address to
the LAN adapter. This IP address is "169.254.10.10". When you
choose to do this, you bypass any IP settings made on the
configuration web interface.
To assign the custom static IP address to the LAN adapter:
1 Turn OFF the power to the LAN adapter.
2 Set DIP switch 2 to "ON".
3 Turn ON the power.
NOTICE
Use appropriate tooling to set the DIP switches to another
position. Beware of electrostatic discharge.
INFORMATION
The LAN adapter only checks the configuration of the DIP
switch after a power reset. To configure the DIP switch,
therefore make sure the power to the adapter is OFF.
INFORMATION
"Power" is both the power supplied by the indoor unit AND
the 230VAC detection voltage supplied to X1A.
To use the LAN adapter for the Smart Grid application, it is
required that DIP switch 1 is set to "OFF" (default the
case). Alternatively, to disable the possibility of using the
LAN adapter for the Smart Grid application, it is possible to
set DIP switch 1 to "ON".
NOTICE
Use appropriate tooling to set the DIP switches to another
position. Beware of electrostatic discharge.
The LAN adapter allows for the connection of the Daikin Altherma
system to a solar inverter/energy management system, and enables
it to run in various Smart Grid operation modes. In this way, all
system components work together to limit the injection of (selfgenerated) power into the grid, instead converting this power into
thermal energy by making use of the thermal storage capacity of the
heat pump. This is called "energy buffering".

The system can buffer energy in the following ways:
▪ Heat up the domestic hot water tank
▪ Heat up the room
▪ Cool down the room
The Smart Grid application is controlled by the solar inverter/energy
management system, that monitors the grid, and sends commands
to the LAN adapter. The adapter is connected to the solar inverter/
energy management system (digital outputs) by way of connector
X1A (digital inputs).
Solar inverter/energy
management system
(digital outputs)
Digital output 1SG0
Digital output 2SG1
The solar inverter/energy management system controls the state of
the digital inputs of the LAN adapter. Depending on the state of the
inputs (open or closed), the Daikin Altherma system can run in the
following Smart Grid operation modes:
Smart Grid operation modeSG0

Forced ON
ClosedClosed
Energy buffering in the domestic
hot water tank and/or the room,
WITHOUT power limitation.
INFORMATION
For the system to run in all 4 possible Smart Grid operation
modes, the solar inverter/energy management system
needs to have 2 digital outputs available. If only 1 output is
available, then you can only connect to SG0, and the
system can only run in the "Normal operation/Free
running" and "Recommended ON" operation modes. For
the system to run in "Forced OFF" and "Forced ON", a
connection to SG1 is required (for those operation modes,
SG1 needs to get "closed").
INFORMATION
In case the system layout includes a controllable wall
socket, and the solar inverter/energy management system
activates this socket, SG0 gets "closed" and the system
runs in the "Recommended ON" operation mode. If the
solar inverter/energy management system deactivates the
socket, SG0 (and SG1) get "opened" and the system runs
in the "Normal operation/Free running" operation mode
(due to the 230VC detection voltage to X1A/L+N getting
cut off).
For instructions on how to access the configuration web
interface, see "Accessing the configuration web
interface"[449].
Energy buffering
Depending on Smart Grid settings (configuration web interface),
energy buffering either happens in the domestic hot water tank only,
or in the domestic hot water tank and in the room. You can choose
whether or not to have the electrical heaters assist with the buffering
of energy in the domestic hot water tank.

INFORMATION
▪ The system will ONLY buffer energy when the indoor
unit is in standby mode. Normal operation (scheduled
actions, etc.) has priority over energy buffering.
▪ On the configuration web interface, the buffering is
default set to "domestic hot water tank only".
▪ The maximum temperature during domestic hot water
tank buffering is the maximum tank temperature for the
applicable tank type.
▪ The space heating/cooling setpoint during room
buffering is the comfort setpoint for the room.
Power limitation
In the "Recommended ON" operation mode, the power consumption
of the Daikin Altherma system is limited either statically or
dynamically. In both cases, it is possible to include the power
consumption of the electrical heaters in the calculation (default NOT
the case).
IFTHEN
Static power limitation
(Static power limitation)
Dynamic power limitation
(Pulse meter setting)
INFORMATION
When using an electricity meter for dynamic power
limitation, it is recommended to set it to 100 pulse/kWh or
1000 pulse/kWh (i.e. Pulse meter setting on the
configuration web interface).
INFORMATION
▪ In the "Forced ON" operation mode, energy buffering
happens WITHOUT power limitation.
▪ To get the most out of the energy buffering it is
recommended to make use of dynamic power limitation
by way of an electricity meter.
▪ The electrical heaters will ONLY operate when the
power limitation is higher than the power rating of the
heaters.
WARNING
Make sure to connect the electricity meter in the correct
direction, so that it measures the total energy injected
INTO the grid.
The power consumption of the
indoor unit is limited statically
based on a fixed value (default
1.5kW) that is set in the
configuration web interface.
During energy buffering, the
power consumption of the indoor
unit will NOT exceed this limit.
The value for this setting is only
used if the system does not
include an electricity meter (on
the configuration web interface:
Pulse meter setting: "No meter").
Otherwise, make use of dynamic
power limitation.
The power limitation is autoadaptive, and dynamically
performed based on the power
injection into the grid, measured
by the electricity meter. To
minimise the power injection into
the grid, the indoor unit operates
as much as possible.
INFORMATION
▪ For dynamic power limitation to be possible, a single
connection point to the grid is required (one connection
point for the photovoltaic system AND the domestic
appliances). To function properly, the Smart Grid
algorithm requires the net sum of generated AND
consumed energy. The algorithm will NOT work when
there are separate meters for generated energy and
consumed energy.
▪ Since dynamic power limitation is performed based on
electricity meter input, you do NOT have to set the
power limitation value in the configuration web
interface.
9.5.2Operation modes

In the "Recommended ON" operation mode, the Daikin Altherma
system makes use of solar/grid power (when it is available, as
measured by the solar inverter/energy management system) to
produce domestic hot water and/or heat up or cool down the space.
The amount of solar/grid power that is used for buffering depends on
the domestic hot water tank and/or the room temperature. To align
solar/grid capacity and the power consumption by the Daikin
Altherma system, the power consumption of the indoor unit is limited
either statically (by a fixed value set in the configuration web
interface) or dynamically (auto-adaptively, as measured by the
electricity meter – if part of the system layout).
"Forced OFF" mode
In the "Forced OFF" operation mode, the solar inverter/energy
management system triggers the system to deactivate the operation
of the unit’s compressor and the electrical heaters. This is especially
useful in case of energy management systems that react to high
energy tariffs, or in case of grid overload (signaled by the energy
distributor to the energy management system). Once active, "Forced
OFF" mode will cause the system to stop space heating/cooling, as
well as domestic hot water production.
INFORMATION
Once running in one of the Smart Grid operation modes,
the system will keep running in that mode until the input
state of the LAN adapter is changed. Beware that if the
system runs in "Forced OFF" mode for a long time, comfort
issues can occur.
"Forced ON" mode
In the "Forced ON" operation mode, the Daikin Altherma system
makes use of solar/grid power (when it is available, as measured by
the solar inverter/energy management system) to produce domestic
hot water and/or heat up or cool down the space. The amount of
solar/grid power that is used for buffering depends on the domestic
hot water tank and/or the room temperature. In contrast to the
"Recommended ON" operation mode, there is NO power limitation:
the system selects the comfort setpoint for space heating/cooling,
and will heat up the domestic hot water tank to the maximum
temperature. The unit’s compressor and the electrical heaters are
not limited in their power consumption.
The "Forced ON" operation mode is particularly useful in case of
energy management systems that react to low energy tariffs, in case
of grid overload (signaled by the energy distributor to the energy
management system), or when multiple houses are connected to the
grid that are controlled simultaneously, this to stabilise the grid.
Once running in one of the Smart Grid operation modes,
the system will keep running in that mode until the input
state of the LAN adapter is changed.
9.5.3System requirements
The Smart Grid application poses the following requirements to the
Daikin Altherma system:
ItemRequirement
LAN adapter software It is recommended to ALWAYS keep the
LAN adapter software up-to-date.
Unit control methodOn the user interface, make sure to set
[2.9]=2 (Control = Room thermostat).
Domestic hot water
settings
Power consumption
control settings
To allow for energy buffering in the domestic
hot water tank, on the user interface, make
sure to set [9.2.1]=4 (Domestic hot water
= Integrated).
On the user interface, make sure to set:
▪ [9.9.1]=1 (Power consumption control
= Continuous)
▪ [9.9.2]=1 (Type = kW)
9.6Troubleshooting – LAN adapter
9.6.1Overview: Troubleshooting
This chapter describes what to do in case of problems.
It contains information about:
▪ Solving problems based on symptoms
▪ Solving problems based on error codes
9.6.2Solving problems based on symptoms –
LAN adapter
Symptom: Cannot access the web page
Possible causesCorrective action
The LAN adapter is not powered
(heartbeat LED not blinking).
The configuration web interface
is ONLY available for 2 hours
after every power reset. Its timer
can have run out.
The LAN adapter is NOT
connected to the network
(network connection LED NOT
blinking).
The LAN adapter is NOT
connected to the router or the
router does NOT support DHCP.
The computer is NOT connected
to the same router as the LAN
adapter.
INFORMATION
If none of the corrective actions work, try performing a
power reset of the total system.
Make sure that the LAN adapter
is correctly connected to the
indoor unit, and that the power of
all connected equipment is
turned ON.
Perform a power reset on the
LAN adapter.
Connect the LAN adapter to a
router.
Connect the LAN adapter to a
router that supports DHCP.
Connect the computer to the
same router as the LAN adapter.
Symptom: The app does not find the LAN adapter
In the rare case that the Online Controller app does not find the LAN
adapter automatically, connect router, LAN adapter, and app
manually by way of a fixed IP address.
1 In the router, check the IP address that is currently assigned to
the LAN adapter.
2 Access the configuration web interface with this IP address.
3 On the configuration web interface, set "DHCP active" to
"Manually".
4 In the router, assign a static IP address to the LAN adapter.
5 On the configuration web interface, in the fields next to "Static
IP address", set the same static IP address.
6 In the Online Controller app (Settings menu), assign the same
IP address to the LAN adapter.
7 Reset the power to the LAN adapter.
Result: Router, LAN adapter, and Online Controller app share the
same fixed IP address and should be able to find each other.
9.6.3Solving problems based on error codes –
LAN adapter
Error codes of the indoor unit
If the indoor unit loses its connection with the LAN adapter, the
following error code appears on the user interface:
Error codeDescription
U8-01Connection with LAN adapter lost
Error codes of the LAN adapter
LAN adapter errors are indicated by the status LEDs. There is a
problem if one or more status LEDs have the following behaviour:
LEDError behaviorDescription

▪ When the LAN adapter performs a Smart Grid
compatibility check, LD4 flashes. This is NOT
erroneous behaviour. After a successful check, LD4 will
either stay ON or go OFF. When it keeps flashing for
more than 30 minutes, the compatibility check failed,
and NO Smart Grid operation is possible.
For a complete description of the status LEDs, check "9.1About the

10.4Weather-dependent curve
10.4.1What is a weather-dependent curve?
Weather-dependent operation
The unit operates 'weather dependent' if the desired leaving water or
tank temperature is determined automatically by the outdoor
temperature. It therefore is connected to a temperature sensor on
the North wall of the building. If the outdoor temperature drops or
rises, the unit compensates instantly. Thus, the unit does not have to
wait for feedback by the thermostat to increase or decrease the
temperature of the leaving water or tank. Because it reacts more
quickly, it prevents high rises and drops of the indoor temperature
and water temperature at tap points.
Advantage
Weather-dependent operation reduces energy consumption.
Weather-dependent curve
To be able to compensate for differences in temperature, the unit
relies on its weather-dependent curve. This curve defines how much
the temperature of the tank or leaving water must be at different
outdoor temperatures. Because the slope of the curve depends on
local circumstances such as climate and the insulation of the house,
the curve can be adjusted by an installer or user.

Types of weather-dependent curve
There are two types of weather-dependent curves:
▪ 2-points curve
▪ Slope-offset curve
Which type of curve you use to make adjustments, depends on your
personal preference. See "10.4.4 Using weather-dependent
curves"[462].
Availability
The weather-dependent curve is available for:
▪ Main zone - Heating
▪ Main zone - Cooling
▪ Additional zone - Heating
▪ Additional zone - Cooling
▪ Tank
INFORMATION
To operate weather dependent, correctly configure the
setpoint of the main zone, additional zone or tank. See
"10.4.4Using weather-dependent curves"[462].
10.4.22-points curve
Define the weather-dependent curve with these two setpoints:
▪ Setpoint (X1, Y2)
▪ Setpoint (X2, Y1)
Example
10.4.3Slope-offset curve
Slope and offset
Define the weather-dependent curve by its slope and offset:
▪ Change the slope to differently increase or decrease the
temperature of the leaving water for different ambient
temperatures. For example, if leaving water temperature is in
general fine but at low ambient temperatures too cold, raise the
slope so that leaving water temperature is heated increasingly
more at decreasingly lower ambient temperatures.
▪ Change the offset to equally increase or decrease the
temperature of the leaving water for different ambient
temperatures. For example, if leaving water temperature is always
a bit too cold at different ambient temperatures, shift the offset up
to equally increase the leaving water temperature for all ambient
temperatures.
Examples

Antifrost
Antifrost [1.4] prevents the room from getting too cold. This
setting is applicable when [2.9] Control=Room thermostat, but
also offers functionality for leaving water temperature control and
external room thermostat control. In case of the latter two,
Antifrost can be activated by setting field setting [2-06] to 1.
Room frost protection, when activated, is not guaranteed when there
is no thermostat in the room that can activate the heat pump. This is
the case when [2.9] Control=External room thermostat and

Emitter type
Depending on the system water volume and the heater emitter type
of the main zone, heating up or cooling down the main zone can
take longer. The setting Emitter type can compensate for a slow
or a quick heating/cooling system during the heat up/cool down
cycle. The target delta T for the main zone depends on this setting.
In room thermostat control, Emitter type influences the maximum
modulation of the desired leaving water temperature, and the
possibility for usage of the automatic cooling/heating changeover
based on the indoor ambient temperature.
It is important to set Emitter type correctly and in accordance with
your system layout.
#CodeDescription
[2.7][2‑0C]Emitter type
▪ 0: Underfloor heating
▪ 1: Fancoil unit
▪ 2: Radiator
The setting of the emitter type has an influence on the space heating
setpoint range and the target delta T in heating as follows:
The maximum setpoint in space heating depends on the
emitter type as can be seen in above table. If there are 2
water temperature zones, then the maximum setpoint is
the maximum of the 2 zones.
CAUTION
If there are 2 zones, it is important that the zone with the
lowest water temperature is configured as the main zone,
and the zone with the highest water temperature is
configured as the additional zone. Not configuring the
system in this way could cause damage to the heat
emitters.
CAUTION
If there are 2 zones and the emitter types are wrongly
configured, water of high temperature can be sent towards
a low temperature emitter (underfloor heating). To avoid
this:
▪ Install an aquastat/thermostatic valve to avoid too high
temperatures towards a low temperature emitter.
▪ Make sure you set the emitter types for the main zone
[2.7] and for the additional zone [3.7] correctly in
accordance with the connected emitter.
INFORMATION
Depending on the target delta T, the average emitter
temperature will vary. To counteract the effect on the
average emitter temperature due to a higher delta T target,
the leaving water setpoint (fixed or weather dependent)
can be adjusted.
Setpoint range
You can limit the range of the leaving water temperature for the main
leaving water temperature zone. The purpose of this setting is to
prevent a wrong (i.e. too hot or too cold) leaving water temperature.
Therefore, the available desired heating temperature range and
desired cooling temperature range can be configured.
NOTICE
In case of a floor heating application it is important to limit
the:
▪ maximum leaving water temperature at heating
operation according to the specifications of the floor
heating installation.
▪ the minimum leaving water temperature at cooling
operation to 18~20°C to prevent condensation on the
floor.

NOTICE
▪ When adjusting the leaving water temperature ranges,
all desired leaving water temperatures are also
adjusted to guarantee they are between the limits.
▪ Always balance between the desired leaving water
temperature with the desired room temperature and/or
the capacity (according to the design and selection of
the heat emitters). The desired leaving water
temperature is the result of several settings (preset
values, shift values, weather dependent curves,
modulation). As a result, too high or too low leaving
water temperatures could occur which lead to
overtemperatures or capacity shortage. By limiting the
leaving water temperature range to adequate values
(depending on the heat emitter), such situations can be
avoided.
Example: Set the minimum leaving water temperature to 28°C to
avoid NOT to be able to heat up the room: leaving water
temperatures MUST be sufficiently higher than the room
temperatures (in heating).

Leaving water temperature: Delta T
The target delta T in heating for the main zone depends on the
emitter type for the main zone selected above. In heating, this
setting indicates the temperature difference between the leaving
water setpoint and entering water. In cooling, this setting indicates
the temperature difference between entering and leaving water
temperature.
The unit is designed to support underfloor loops operation. The
recommended leaving water temperature for underfloor loops is
35°C. In such case, the unit will be controlled to realize a
temperature difference of 5°C which means that the unit entering
water temperature is around 30°C. Depending on the installed
application (radiators, heat pump convector, underfloor loops) or
situation, it can be possible to change the difference between
entering and leaving water temperature. Note that the pump will
regulate its flow to keep the delta T. In some special cases, the
measured deltaT can be different from the set value.
INFORMATION
In heating, the target delta T will only be achieved after
some operation time, when the setpoint is being reached,
because of the big difference between leaving water
temperature setpoint and inlet temperature at startup.
INFORMATION
If the main zone or the additional zone has a heating
demand, and this zone is equipped with radiators, then the
target delta T that the unit will use in heating operation will
be equal to the temperature set in [2.B].
If the zones are not equipped with radiators, then in
heating the unit will give priority to the target deltaT for the
additional zone, if there is a heating demand in the
additional zone.
In cooling the unit will give priority to the target deltaT for
the additional zone, if there is a cooling demand in the
additional zone.

Leaving water temperature: Modulation
Only applicable in case of room thermostat control. When using the
room thermostat functionality, the customer needs to set the desired
room temperature. The unit will supply hot water to the heat emitters
and the room will be heated. Additionally, also the desired leaving
water temperature must be configured: when turning on the
modulation, the desired leaving water temperature will be calculated
automatically by the unit (based on the preset temperatures, if
weather-dependent is selected, modulation will be done based on
the desired weather-dependent temperatures); when turning off the
modulation, you can set the desired leaving water temperature on
the user interface. Moreover, with the modulation turned on, the
desired leaving water temperature is lowered or raised in function of
the desired room temperature and the difference between the actual
and the desired room temperature. This results in:
▪ stable room temperatures exactly matching the desired
temperature (higher comfort level)
▪ less on/off cycles (lower noise level, higher comfort and higher
efficiency)
▪ water temperatures as low as possible to match the desired
temperature (higher efficiency)
#CodeDescription
[2.C.1][8‑05]Modulation:
▪ 0 No: Disabled, the desired leaving
water temperature needs to be set on
the user interface.
▪ 1 Yes: Enabled, the leaving water
temperature is calculated according to
the difference between the desired
and the actual room temperature. This
creates a better match between the
capacity of the heat pump and the
actual required capacity, and results in
less start/stop cycles and a more
economic operation.
Note: The desired leaving water
temperature can only be read out on
the user interface.
[2.C.2][8‑06]Max modulation:
▪ 0°C~10°C
This is the temperature value by which
the desired leaving water temperature is
increased or decreased.
INFORMATION
When leaving water temperature modulation is enabled,
the weather‑dependent curve needs to be set to a higher
position than [8-06] plus the minimum leaving water
temperature setpoint required to reach a stable condition
on the comfort setpoint for the room. To increase
efficiency, modulation can lower the leaving water setpoint.
By setting the weather‑dependent curve to a higher
position, it cannot drop below the minimum setpoint. See

there is no heating demand from the main zone. Enable this setting
to:
▪ avoid leaving water supply to the heat emitters in the main LWT

Exception: If the system is configured in room thermostat control
with one leaving water temperature zone and quick heat emitters,
the operation mode will change based on:
▪ The measured indoor temperature: Besides the heating and the
cooling desired room temperature, the installer sets a hysteresis
value (e.g. when in heating, this value is related to the desired
cooling temperature) and an offset value (e.g. when in heating,
this value is related to the desired heating temperature).
Example: The desired room temperature in heating mode is 22°C
and in cooling mode it is 24°C, with a hysteresis value of 1°C and
an offset of 4°C. Changeover from heating to cooling will occur
when the room temperature rises above the maximum of the
desired cooling temperature added by the hysteresis value (thus
25°C) and the desired heating temperature added by the offset
value (26°C). Oppositely, changeover from cooling to heating will
occur when the room temperature drops below the minimum of
the desired heating temperature subtracted by the hysteresis
value (thus 21°C) and the desired cooling temperature subtracted
by the offset value (thus 20°C)
Guard timer to prevent too frequent changing from heating to
cooling and vice versa.

About energy prices in case of an incentive per kWh renewable
energy
An incentive can be taken into account when setting the energy
prices. Although the running cost can increase, the total operation
cost, taking into account the reimbursement will be optimized.
NOTICE
Make sure to modify the setting of the energy prices at the
end of the incentive period.
To set the electricity price in case of an incentive per kWh
renewable energy
Calculate the value for the electricity price with following formula:
▪ Actual electricity price+Incentive/kWh
For the procedure to set the electricity price, see "To set the

When turned on, the pump runs and makes sure hot water is
instantly available at the tap. To save energy, only turn on the pump
during periods of the day when instant hot water is necessary.
Backup heater
Besides the type of backup heater, the voltage, configuration and
capacity must be set on the user interface.
The capacities for the different steps of the backup heater must be
set for the energy metering and/or power consumption feature to
work properly. When measuring the resistance value of each heater,
you can set the exact heater capacity and this will lead to more
accurate energy data.

Emergency
Emergency
When the heat pump fails to operate, the backup heater can serve
as an emergency heater. It then takes over the heat load either
automatically or by manual interaction.
▪ When Emergency is set to Automatic and a heat pump failure
occurs, the backup heater automatically takes over the domestic
hot water production and space heating.
▪ When Emergency is set to Manual and a heat pump failure
occurs, the domestic hot water heating and space heating stops.
To manually recover it via the user interface, go to the
Malfunctioning main menu screen and confirm whether the
backup heater can take over the heat load or not.
▪ Alternatively, when Emergency is set to:
▪ auto SH reduced/DHW on, space heating is reduced but
domestic hot water is still available.
▪ auto SH reduced/DHW off, space heating is reduced and
domestic hot water is NOT available.
▪ auto SH normal/DHW off, space heating operates as
normally but domestic hot water is NOT available.
Similarly as in Manual mode, the unit can take the full load with
the backup heater if the user activates this via the
Malfunctioning main menu screen.
To keep energy consumption low, we recommend to set Emergency
to auto SH reduced/DHW off if the house is unattended for longer
periods.

Bivalent
Only applicable in case of auxiliary boiler.
About bivalent
The purpose of this function is to determine which heating source
can/will provide the space heating, either the heat pump system or
the auxiliary boiler.
#CodeDescription
[9.C.1][C-02]Bivalent: Indicates if the space heating
is also performed by means of another
heat source than the system.
▪ 0 No: Not installed
▪ 1 Yes: Installed. The auxiliary boiler
(gas boiler, oil burner) will operate
when the outdoor ambient temperature
is low. During bivalent operation, the
heat pump is turned off. Set this value
in case an auxiliary boiler is used.
▪ If Bivalent is enabled: When the outdoor temperature drops
below the bivalent ON temperature (fixed or variable based on
energy prices), the space heating by the indoor unit stops
automatically and the permission signal for the auxiliary boiler is
active.
▪ If Bivalent is disabled: Space heating is only done by the indoor
unit within the operation range. The permission signal for the
auxiliary boiler is always inactive.
The switch-over between the heat pump system and the auxiliary
boiler is based on the following settings:
▪ [C‑03] and [C‑04]
▪ Electricity prices ([7.5.1], [7.5.2] and [7.5.3])
[C‑03], [C‑04], and T

INFORMATION
▪ The bivalent operation function has no impact on the
domestic water heating mode. The domestic hot water
is still and only heated by the indoor unit.
▪ The permission signal for the auxiliary boiler is located
on the EKRP1HB (digital I/O PCB). When it is
activated, the contact X1, X2 is closed and open when
it is deactivated. See illustration below for the
schematic location of this contact.
#CodeDescription
9.C.3[C-03]Range: –25°C~25°C (step: 1°C)
9.C.4[C-04]Range: 2°C~10°C (step: 1°C)
The higher the value of [C‑04], the higher
the accuracy of the switch-over between
the heat pump system and the auxiliary
boiler.
To determine the value of [C‑03], proceed as follows:
1 Determine the COP (= coefficient of performance) using the
formula:
FormulaExample
COP = (Electricity price / gas
(a)
price)
× boiler efficiency
If:
▪ Electricity price: 20c€/kWh
▪ Gas price: 6c€/kWh
▪ Boiler efficiency: 0.9
Then: COP = (20/6)×0.9 = 3
(a) Make sure to use the same units of measurement for the
electricity price and gas price (example: both c€/kWh).
2 Determine the value of [C‑03] using the graph:
Example:
a [C‑03]=2.5 in case of COP=3 and LWT=35°C
b [C‑03]=10.5 in case of COP=3 and LWT=55°C
NOTICE
Make sure to set the value of [5‑01] at least 1°C higher
than the value of [C‑03].
Electricity prices
INFORMATION
Electricity price can only be set when bivalent is ON
([9.C.1] or [C-02]). These values can only be set in menu
structure [7.5.1], [7.5.2] and [7.5.3]. Do NOT use overview
settings.
INFORMATION

Alarm output
#CodeDescription
[9.D][C–09]Alarm output: Indicates the logic of the

during malfunctioning.
▪ 0 Abnormal: The alarm output will be
powered when an alarm occurs. By
setting this value, a distinction is made
between the detection of an alarm,
and the detection of a power failure.
When power returns after a power supply failure, the auto restart
function reapplies the remote controller settings at the time of the
power failure. Therefore, it is recommended to always enable the
function.
If the preferential kWh rate power supply is of the type that power
supply is interrupted, always enable the auto restart function.
Continuous indoor unit control can be guaranteed independent of the
preferential kWh rate power supply status, by connecting the indoor
unit to a normal kWh rate power supply.

Disable protections
INFORMATION
The software is equipped with an "installer-on-site" mode
([9.G]: Disable protections), that disables automatic
operation by the unit. At first installation, setting Disableprotections is by default set to Yes, meaning automatic
operation is disabled. All protective functions are then
disabled. To enable automatic operation and the protective
functions, set Disable protections to No.
36 hours after the first power-on, the unit will automatically
set Disable protections to No, ending "installer-on-site"

Brine freezing temperature
Brine freezing temperature
Depending on the type and concentration of the anti-freeze in the
brine system, the freezing temperature will differ. The following
parameters set the units freeze up prevention limit temperature. To
allow for temperature measurement tolerances, the brine
concentration MUST resist to a lower temperature than the defined
setting.
General rule: the units freeze up prevention limit temperature MUST
be 10°C lower than the minimum possible brine inlet temperature for
the unit.
Example: When the minimum possible brine inlet temperature in a
certain application is –2°C, then the unit freeze up prevention limit
temperature MUST be set to –12°C or lower. Result will be that the
brine mixture may NOT freeze above that temperature. To prevent
freezing of the unit, check the type and concentration of the brine
carefully.

NOTICE
Make sure that both the domestic hot water tank and the
space heating circuit are filled before turning on the power
of the unit.
If not filled before turning on power, and in case
Emergency is active, the backup heater thermal fuse may
blow. To avoid breakdown of the backup heater, fill the unit
before turning on power.
INFORMATION
The software is equipped with an "installer-on-site" mode
([9.G]: Disable protections), that disables automatic
operation by the unit. At first installation, setting Disableprotections is by default set to Yes, meaning automatic
operation is disabled. All protective functions are then
disabled. To enable automatic operation and the protective
functions, set Disable protections to No.
36 hours after the first power-on, the unit will automatically
set Disable protections to No, ending "installer-on-site"
mode and enabling the protective functions. If – after first
installation – the installer returns to the site, the installer
has to set manually Disable protections to Yes.
11.3Checklist before commissioning
After the installation of the unit, first check the items listed below.
Once all checks are fulfilled, the unit must be closed. Power-up the
unit after it is closed.
You read the complete installation instructions, as
described in the installer reference guide.
The indoor unit is properly mounted.
The following field wiring has been carried out according
to this document and the applicable legislation:
▪ Between the local supply panel and the indoor unit
▪ Between the indoor unit and the valves (if applicable)
▪ Between the indoor unit and the room thermostat (if
applicable)
The system is properly earthed and the earth terminals
are tightened.
The fuses or locally installed protection devices are
installed according to this document, and have NOT been
bypassed.
The power supply voltage matches the voltage on the
identification label of the unit.
There are NO loose connections or damaged electrical
components in the switchbox.
There are NO damaged components or squeezed
pipes on the inside of the indoor unit.

unit.
There are no odour traces noticeable of the used brine.
11.1Overview: Commissioning
This chapter describes what you have to do and know to
commission the system after it is installed and configured.
Typical workflow
Commissioning typically consists of the following stages:
1Checking the “Checklist before commissioning”.
2Performing an air purge on the water circuit.
3Performing an air purge on the brine circuit.
4Performing a test run for the system.
5If necessary, performing a test run for one or more actuators.
6If necessary, performing an underfloor heating screed dryout.
11.2Precautions when commissioning
INFORMATION
During the first running period of the unit, the required
power may be higher than stated on the nameplate of the
unit. This phenomenon is caused by the compressor, that
needs a continuous run time of 50 hours before reaching
smooth operation and stable power consumption.
NOTICE
ALWAYS operate the unit with thermistors and/or pressure
sensors/switches. If NOT, burning of the compressor might
be the result.
The air purge valve is open (at least 2 turns).
The pressure relief valve purges water when opened.
Clean water must come out.
The shut-off valves are properly installed and fully open.
The domestic hot water tank is filled completely.
The brine circuit and water circuit are filled correctly.
NOTICE
When the brine circuit is not ready to be used, the system
can be set to HP forced off mode. To do this, set
[9.5.2]=1 (HP forced off = enabled).
Space heating and domestic hot water are then provided
by the backup heater. Cooling is NOT possible when this
mode is active. All commissioning related to or making use
of the brine circuit should NOT be performed until the brine
circuit is filled and HP forced off is deactivated.
11.4Checklist during commissioning
To perform an air purge on the water circuit.
To perform an air purge on the brine circuit via brine
pump test run or 10-day brine operation function.
The underfloor screed dryout function is started (if
necessary).
To start 10-day brine pump operation.
11.4.1Air purge function on the water circuit
When commissioning and installing the unit, it is very important to
remove all air in the water circuit. When the air purge function is
running, the pump operates without actual operation of the unit and
the remove of air in the water circuit will start.
NOTICE
Before starting the air purge, open the safety valve and
check if the circuit is sufficiently filled with water. Only if
water escapes the valve after opening it, you can start the
air purge procedure.
There are 2 modes to purge air:
▪ Manually: the unit will operate with a fixed pump speed and in a
fixed or custom position of the 3-way valve. The custom position
of the 3-way valve is a helpful feature to remove all air from the
water circuit in space heating or domestic hot water heating mode.
The operation speed of the pump (slow or quick) can also be set.
▪ Automatic: the unit change automatically the pump speed and the
position of the 3-way valve between space heating or domestic
hot water heating mode.
Typical workflow
INFORMATION
Start by performing a manual air purge. When almost all
the air is removed, perform an automatic air purge. If
necessary, repeat performing the automatic air purge until
you are sure that all air is removed from the system.
During air purge function, pump speed limitation [9‑0D] is
NOT applicable.
Make sure that the leaving water temperature home page, room
temperature home page, and domestic hot water home page are
turned OFF.
The air purge function stops automatically after 30minutes.

11.4.2Air purge function on the brine circuit
When installing and commissioning the unit, it is very important to
remove all air from the brine circuit.
NOTICE
It is required that the brine circuit is filled BEFORE the
brine pump test run is activated.
There are 2 ways to perform an air purge:
▪ with a brine filling station (field supply),
▪ with a brine filling station (field supply) in combination with the
unit's own brine pump.
In both cases, follow the instructions included with the brine filling
station. The second method should only be used when the air purge
on the brine circuit was NOT successful using only a brine filling
station.
In case a brine buffer vessel is present in the brine circuit, or if the
brine circuit consists of a horizontal loop instead of a vertical
borehole, further air purging may be required. You can make use of
the 10 day brine pump operation. See "11.4.6To start or stop
10-day brine pump operation"[491] for more information.
To perform an air purge with a brine filling station
Follow the instructions included with the brine filling station (field
supply).

14.3.2Symptom: The compressor does NOT
start (space heating or domestic water
heating)
Possible causesCorrective action
The compressor cannot start if
the water temperature is too low.
The unit will use the backup
heater to reach the minimum
water temperature (5°C), after
which the compressor can start.
The preferential kWh rate power
supply settings and electrical
connections do NOT match
The preferential kWh rate signal
was sent by the electricity
company
If the backup heater doesn't start
either, check and make sure that:
▪ The power supply to the
backup heater is correctly
wired.
▪ The backup heater thermal
protector is NOT activated.
▪ The backup heater contactors
are NOT broken.
If the problem persists, contact
your dealer.
This should match with the
connections as explained in
"8.2.1To connect the main
power supply"[434].
In the user interface of the unit,
go to [8.5.B] Information >
Actuators > Forced off
contact.
If Forced off contact is On,
the unit is operating under the
preferential kWh rate. Wait for
the power to return (maximum
2hours).
14.3.3Symptom: The pump is making noise
(cavitation)
Possible causesCorrective action
There is air in the systemPurge air (see "11.4.1Air purge
function on the water
circuit"[488] or "11.4.2Air purge
function on the brine
circuit"[488]).
The pressure at the pump inlet is
too low
Check and make sure that:
▪ The pressure is >1bar.
▪ The expansion vessel is NOT
broken.
▪ The pre-pressure setting of the
expansion vessel is correct
(see "7.1.4 Changing the pre-
pressure of the expansion
vessel"[429]).
14.3.4Symptom: The pressure relief valve opens
Possible causesCorrective action
The expansion vessel is broken Replace the expansion vessel.
The water or brine volume in the
installation is too high
The water circuit head is too high The water circuit head is the
Make sure that the water or brine
volume in the installation is below
the maximum allowed value (see
"7.1.3To check the water volume
and flow rate of the space
heating circuit and brine
circuit"[429] and
"7.1.4Changing the pre-pressure
of the expansion vessel"[429]).
difference in height between the
unit and the highest point of the
water circuit. If the unit is located
at the highest point of the
installation, the installation height
is considered 0m. The maximum
water circuit head is 10m.
Check the installation
requirements.
14.3.5Symptom: The pressure relief valve leaks
Possible causesCorrective action
Dirt is blocking the water
pressure relief valve outlet
Check whether the pressure
relief valve works correctly by
turning the red knob on the valve
counterclockwise:
▪ If you do NOT hear a clacking
sound, contact your dealer.
▪ If the water or brine keeps
running out of the unit, close
both inlet and outlet shut-off
valves first and then contact
your dealer.
