Installation and operating manual

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.

Installation and operating manual

INFORMATION

If an optional external heat generator is connected, these minimum requirements also apply to the filling and supplementary water for this heating circuit.

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.

1.4 Warranty conditions

3.6 Water connection

Important information

CAUTION

▪ 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.

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])

▪ 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.

▪ 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:

Connection (~230V, maximum load 3000W) to K1 and K3.

CAUTION

Danger of voltage flash-overs.

▪ The connections of the RTX-EHS PCB must not be

used simultaneously for connecting mains voltage (~230V) and SELV ("Safety Extra Low Voltage").

The switching contacts (AUX outputs) can be used for various parametrisable functions.

Switchover contact A-A1-A2 switches under the conditions set in parameter [AUX switching function] [→ Main menu → Settings →Inputs/Outputs] (see controller operating instructions).

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.
