1 General safety precautions
1.2.3 Installation room
WARNING
The plastic wall of the storage tank on the indoor unit can melt under the effects of external heat (>80°C) and, in the extreme case, can catch fire.
▪ Only install the indoor unit at a
minimum clearance of 1m from other heat sources (>80°C) (e.g. electrical heater, oil heater, chimney) and combustible materials.
CAUTION
▪ Only install the indoor unit if sufficient
load-carrying capacity of the ground of 1050kg/m2 plus safety margin is ensured. The ground must be flat, horizontal and level.
Outdoor set up is not permissible. ▪ Set-up in an explosion-risk
environment is not permissible.
▪ The electronic control system must
not be exposed to weather effects such as rain and snow under any circumstances.
▪ The storage tank may not be
exposed to continuous direct sunlight, as the UV radiation and the effects of the weather will damage the plastic.
▪ The indoor unit must be installed
protected from frost.
▪ Make sure that the supply company
does not provide corrosive domestic water. Suitable water treatment may be required.
▪ Always ensure the minimum distances from walls and other
objects ("3.1Dimensions and connection dimensions"[411]).
▪ Observe the special installation requirements of the R32
refrigerant (see "3.3.1Selecting the installation site"[412]).
CAUTION
If a DrainBack solar heating
system is connected: Install the indoor unit far enough under the solar panels to allow complete emptying of the solar heating system. (Follow the instructions in the DrainBack solar heating system manual.) An insufficient height difference may lead to destruction of the DrainBack solar heating system.
▪ The indoor unit must not be operated
in rooms with ambient temperatures of more than 40°C.
1.2.4 Electrical installation
▪ Electrical installations may only be carried out by electrical
technicians and in compliance with valid electrical guidelines as well as the specifications of the responsible energy supply company.
▪ Compare the mains voltage indicated on the nameplate with the
supply voltage before connecting to the mains.
▪ Before beginning work on live parts, disconnect them from the
power supply (switch off main switch, remove fuse) and secure against unintentional restart.
▪ Device covers and service panels must be replaced as soon as
the work is completed.
1.2.5 Requirements for heating and storage water
Damage due to deposits and corrosion: observe the relevant technical rules to avoid corrosion products and deposits.
Minimum requirements regarding the quality of filling and top-up water:
▪ Water hardness (calcium and magnesium, calculated as calcium
carbonate): ≤3mmol/l ▪ Conductivity: ≤1500 (ideal ≤100)μS/cm ▪ Chloride: ≤250mg/l ▪ Sulphate: ≤250mg/l ▪ pH value: 6.5 – 8.5 Measures for desalination, softening or hardness stabilisation are
necessary if the filling and top-up water have a high total hardness (>3 mmol/l – total of the calcium and magnesium concentrations, calculated as calcium carbonate). We recommend the use of Fernox KSK limescale and corrosion protector. For other properties deviating from the minimum requirements, suitable conditioning measures are necessary to maintain the required water quality.
Using filling water and top-up water which does not meet the stated quality requirements can cause a considerably reduced service life of the equipment. The responsibility for this lies solely with the operator.

008.1451099_01 – 09/2020
1.2.6 Heating system and sanitary connection
▪ Create a heating system according to the safety requirements of
EN12828.
▪ The plumbing connection must comply with the requirements of
EN 12897. The requirements of the following must also be observed:
▪ EN 1717 – Protection against pollution of potable water
installations and general requirements of devices to prevent pollution by backflow
▪ EN61770 – Electric appliances connected to the water mains –
Avoidance of backsiphonage and failure of hose-sets
▪ EN 806 – Specifications for installations inside buildings
conveying water for human consumption
▪ and, in addition, the country-specific legislation.
During operation of the indoor unit with an auxiliary heat source, the storage tank temperature may exceed 65°C, above all when solar energy is used.
▪ For this reason, some form of scalding protection needs to be
included when you install the system (hot water mixing device, e.g. VTA32).
INFORMATION
The domestic water quality must comply with the EU Guideline 98/83 EC and the regionally-applicable regulations.
If the indoor unit is connected to a heating system with steel pipes, radiators or non-diffusion-proof floor heating pipes, sludge and chips can enter the hot water storage tank and cause blockages, local overheating or corrosion damage.
▪ To prevent possible damage, install a dirt filter or sludge separator
into the heating return flow of the system (SAS 1 or SAS 2).
▪ The dirt filter must be cleaned at regular intervals.
1.2.7 Operation
The indoor unit: ▪ Do not operate until all installation and connection work is
completed.
▪ Only operate with a completely full storage tank (check level
indicator) and heating circuit. ▪ Operate at a maximum pressure of 3bar. ▪ Only connect with a pressure reducer on the external water supply
(supply line). ▪ Only operate if the protective cover is installed. The specified servicing intervals should be adhered to and
inspection work must be carried out.
1 General safety precautions
Thanks to the environmentally friendly design of the indoor unit, we have established requirements to ensure environmentally friendly disposal. Proper disposal in compliance with the respective national regulations of the country of use is the responsibility of the user/owner.
The designation of the product means that electrical and electronic products may not be disposed of together with unsorted domestic waste.
Proper disposal in compliance with the respective national regulations of the country of use is the responsibility of the user/ owner.
▪ Disassembly of the system, handling of refrigerant, oil and other
parts may only be carried out by a qualified fitter.
▪ Disposal may only be carried out by an organisation that
specialises in reuse, recycling and recovery.
Further information is available from the installation company or the responsible local authorities.

3.6 Water connection

Important information
CAUTION
If the indoor unit is connected to a heating system with steel pipes, radiators or non-diffusion-proof floor heating pipes, sludge and chips can enter the hot water storage tank and cause blockages, local overheating or corrosion damage.
▪ Rinse supply lines before filling the device. ▪ Rinse out the heat distribution network (in the existing
heating system).
▪ Install a dirt filter or sludge separator in the heating
return flow (see "1.2.6 Heating system and sanitary
connection"[47]).
CAUTION
If the indoor unit is connected to a cold water line where steel pipes are used, chips can get into the stainless steel corrugated pipe heat exchanger and remain there. This can lead to contact corrosion damage and subsequently to leakage.
▪ Flush the feed pipes before filling the heat exchanger. ▪ Install the dirt filter in the cold water supply (e.g. SAS 1
or SAS 2).
CAUTION: BIV only
If the heat exchanger for pressurised solar system charging (see "3.1 Dimensions and connection
dimensions"[411], itemsh + i) is connected to an external
heater (e.g. wood burning boiler) the indoor unit can be damaged or destroyed due to an excessively high flow temperature at these connections.
▪ The flow temperature of the external heater should be
limited to max. 95°C.
CAUTION
Corrosion may be caused by air entering the heating water network and by a quality of the heating water that does not comply with the requirements in accordance with
"1.2.5 Requirements for heating and storage water" [4 6].
Corrosion products (particles) thus created may clog pumps and valves and cause malfunctions.
▪ Device may not be connected by permeable, flexible
lines.
3.6.1 Minimum water volume
A water volume of at least 5 litres must be ensured in the heating circuit. The internal water volume of the heat pump internal unit is not included in this calculation.
INFORMATION
In critical applications or in rooms with high heating loads, additional water volume may be required.
CAUTION
If several heating circuits are connected to the heat pump indoor unit, it is important that the minimum water volume is guaranteed even if only one heating circuit is open.
3.6.2 Connecting hydraulic lines
DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
There is a danger of scalding at hot water temperatures over 65°C. This is possible when using solar energy if an external heater is connected, the Legionella protection is activated, or the target hot water temperature is set to be greater than 65°C or if the Smart-Grid function is activated.
▪ Install scalding protection (hot water mixer device (e.g.
VTA32)).
INFORMATION
The indoor unit is equipped with a pressure sensor. The system pressure in monitored electronically and can be displayed with the device switched on.
Nevertheless, we recommend installing a mechanical manometer between the indoor unit and the expansion vessel, for example.
▪ Install the manometer so that it is easy to see when
filling.
Prerequisite: Optional accessories (e.g. solar, backup heater) are mounted on the Daikin Altherma 3 R ECH2O as specified in the enclosed instructions.
1 Check the cold water connection pressure (maximum 10bar).
▪ At higher pressure in the drinking water line, a pressure reducer
must be installed.
2 Fix the hydraulic block in place with a screwdriver.
INFORMATION
Any steam or heating water escaping from the safety valve must be drained by a suitable blow-off line with constant gradient in a frost-protected, safe and observable manner.
A expansion vessel suitably sized and preset for the heating system must be connected to the Daikin Altherma 3 R ECH2O. There may not be any hydraulic blocking elements between the heat generator and the diaphragm expansion vessel.
We recommend installing a mechanical manometer for filling the heating system.
▪ For potable water lines, observe the provisions of EN 806,
DIN 1988 and the additional applicable national regulations for potable water installation.
▪ Install the indoor unit close to the withdrawal point to dispense
with the need for a circulation line. If a circulation line is permissible and mandatory according to local regulations, it must be installed according to the schematic diagrams in "Hydraulic System Connection" in the reference manual for the fitter.

3.7.8 EBA (external requirement request)
By connecting the EBA switching contact to the indoor unit ("  3‒
37 EBA switching contact connection" [4 24]) and corresponding
parametrisation in its RoCon+HP1 controller, an external switching contact can be used to generate a heat request. If the switching contact is closed, the indoor unit switches to heating operation. The flow temperature is regulated to the temperature set in the [Feed temperature, heating mode] parameter [→ Main menu →Configuration →Heating].
The EBA switching contact has priority over a request from the room thermostat.
The switching contact is not evaluated in cooling operation, standby, manual or summer mode. The heating limits are also ignored.
3.7.7 External switching contact
Connecting an external switching contact ("  3‒36 EXT switching
contact connection" [4 24]) enables the operating mode of the
indoor unit to be switched over. The current operating mode is switched by a changing resistance
value ("  3‒2 Resistance values for evaluating the EXT
signal" [4 24]). The changeover of the operating mode is only
effective for a long as the external switching contact is closed. The operating mode has an effect on the direct circuit of the indoor
unit as well as all other heating circuits connected to this device as an option.

3.7.9 Connecting an external heat generator
INFORMATION
To connect an external heat generator, the connection set for external EKBUHSWB heat generators must be installed (see "3.5Installing optional accessories"[418]).
For heating support or as an alternative to an electric backup heater, an external heat generator (e.g. gas- or oil-fired boiler) can be connected to the indoor unit. To connect an external heat generator, the connection set for external EKBUHSWB heat generators must be installed (see "3.5Installing optional accessories"[418]).
The heat supplied by the external heat generator must be fed to the unpressurised storage tank water in the hot water storage tank of the indoor unit.
Implement the hydraulic connection according to one of the two following options:
unpressurised via the connections (solar flow and solar return
flow) of the hot water storage tank
for ...Biv indoor unit device types, via the integrated
pressurised solar heat exchanger. ▪ Comply with the instructions on hydraulic connections (see
"1.2Safety instructions for installation and operation"[45])
▪ Examples of hydraulic connection (see "Hydraulic connection"
in the reference manual for the fitter).
The external heat generator request is connected on PCB RTX-EHS (see "  3‒38 Connection on the RTX-EHS PCB" [4 25]) via a relay. Electrical connection to the indoor unit is possible as follows:
▪ External heat generator has a potential-free switching contact
connection for heat request: ▪ Connection to K3 if the external heat generator is responsible
for the domestic hot water preparation and the backup heating (setting of the [Config. ext. heat source] parameter = DHW + heating support [→Main menu →Settings →Ext. source])
or
▪ Connection to K1 and K3 if two external heat generators are
used (setting of the [Config. ext. heat source] parameter = Two external heat generators [→ Main menu → Settings → Ext. source]). In this case, K1 connects the external heat generator (e.g. gas-fired or oil-fired boiler) for heating support and K3 connects the external heat generator (EKBUxx) for domestic hot water preparation.
or
▪ Connection to AUX connection A (see "3.7.13 Connecting
switching contacts (AUX outputs)"[427])
▪ External heat generator can only be connected via mains voltage:

3 Set-up and installation
Switchover contact A-A1-A2 can be used, for example, to control the heat generators in bivalent heating systems consisting of an indoor unit and an oil- or gas boiler. Examples of hydraulic system integration are described in "Hydraulic connection" in the reference manual for the fitter.
INFORMATION
If an A2 F or G-plus condensing boiler is connected, the [AUX switching function ] and [AUX wait time] parameters must be set according to the desired function [→ Main menu →Settings →Inputs/Outputs].
See Operating instructions → chapter Parameter settings. Precise information on the electrical connection and the
required parameter settings for such bivalent heating systems are available on the Internet (www.daikin.com) or from your service partner.
3.7.14 Low rate mains connection (HT/NT)
If the outdoor unit is connected to a low rate mains connection, the potential-free switching contact S2S of the receiver, which evaluates the low rate input signal output from the utility company must be connected to plug J8, electricity supply company connection on the RoCon BM2C PCB (see "  3‒43 HT/NT contact
connection"[428]).
When setting the [HT/NT function] parameter >0 [→ Main menu → Settings → Inputs/Outputs], certain system components are switched off during peak periods (see controller operating instructions).
The following types of low rate mains connection are common: ▪ Type 1: With this type of low rate mains connection, the power
supply to the heat pump outdoor unit is not interrupted.
▪ Type 2: With this type of low rate mains connection, the power
supply to the heat pump outdoor unit is interrupted after a certain period of time.
▪ Type 3: With this type of low rate mains connection, the power
supply to the heat pump outdoor unit is interrupted immediately.
Potential-free switching contact S2S can be implemented as a normally closed or normally open switching contact.
▪ If implemented as a normally closed switching contact, the [HT/NT
contact] parameter=1 must be set [→ Main menu → Settings → Inputs/Outputs]. When the EVU sends the off-peak signal, switching contact S2S is opened. The system switches to "Mandatory OFF". If the signal is sent again, potential-free switching contact S2S closes and the system resumes operation.
▪ If implemented as a normally open switching contact, the [HT/NT
contact] parameter=0 must be set [→ Main menu → Settings → Inputs/Outputs]. When the EVU sends the off-peak signal, switching contact S2S is closed. The system switches to "Mandatory OFF". If the signal is sent again, potential-free switching contact S2S opens and the system resumes operation.
 3‒42 Connection of switching contact (AUX output)
Connection terminals B+B1 are not occupied for these devices or are available for additional functions.
The contacts in variant 1 (switched power ≤15 W) can be directly integrated as shown in "  3‒42 Connection of switching contact
(AUX output)"[427].
The relays user for variant 2 (switched output >15 W) must be suitable for a 100% power-on time.
