1 General safety precautions
1.2.3Installation 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 1m 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 1050kg/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 ("3.1Dimensions and connection dimensions"[411]).
▪ Observe the special installation requirements of the R32
refrigerant (see "3.3.1Selecting the installation site"[412]).
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.
1.2.4Electrical 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.
1.2.5Requirements 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): ≤3mmol/l
▪ Conductivity: ≤1500 (ideal ≤100)μS/cm
▪ Chloride: ≤250mg/l
▪ Sulphate: ≤250mg/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.

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

1.2.6Heating system and sanitary connection
▪ Create a heating system according to the safety requirements of
EN12828.
▪ 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
▪ EN61770 – 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.
1.2.7Operation
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 3bar.
▪ 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.

3.6Water 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"[47]).
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"[411], itemsh + 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.
3.6.1Minimum 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.
3.6.2Connecting 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 10bar).
▪ 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.

3.7.9Connecting an external heat generator
INFORMATION
To connect an external heat generator, the connection set
for external EKBUHSWB heat generators must be installed
(see "3.5Installing optional accessories"[418]).
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 "3.5Installing optional accessories"[418]).
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
"1.2Safety instructions for installation and operation"[45])
▪ 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)"[427])
▪ External heat generator can only be connected via mains voltage:
Connection (~230V, maximum load 3000W) 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
(~230V) and SELV ("Safety Extra Low Voltage").

3.7.13Connecting switching contacts (AUX
outputs)
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.
3.7.14Low 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"[428]).
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)"[427].
The relays user for variant 2 (switched output >15 W) must be
suitable for a 100% power-on time.

3.7.15Connecting an intelligent controller
(Smart Grid - SG)
If the [Smart grid] parameter=1, the function [→ Main menu
→Settings → Inputs/Outputs] is activated (see controller operating
instructions), the heat pump is switched to normal or a mode with
higher temperatures depending on the utility company signal.
For this purpose, the SG1/SG2 floating switching contacts of the
intelligent controller must be connected to the J8 connector, Smart
Grid and electricity supply company connections on the
RoCon BM2C PCB (see " 3‒44 Connecting the Smart
Grid"[428]).
As soon as the Smart Grid function is active, the HT/NT function is
automatically deactivated. Smart grid mode The heat pump is
operated differently depending on the value of the parameter
[→ Main menu → Settings → Inputs/Outputs] (see controller
operating instructions).
3.8Connection for refrigerant
INFORMATION
Follow the installation instructions for the outdoor unit.
3.8.1Laying refrigerant piping
CAUTION
The use of refrigerant piping that has already been used
may lead to damage to the unit.
▪ Do not reuse refrigerant piping that has been used with
another refrigerant. Replace or carefully clean the
refrigerant piping.
▪ Install lines with bending unit and an adequate clearance to
electrical lines.
▪ Only solder with light nitrogen flow (hard soldering only).
▪ Do not apply thermal insulation to connection points until after
commissioning (for purposes of leakage search).
▪ Make flared connections and connect to the devices (observe
tightening torque, see "6.3Tightening torques"[434]).
3.8.2Pressure test and filling the refrigerant
circuit
WARNING
The overall heat pump system contains refrigerants with
fluorinated greenhouse gases that are harmful to the
environment when released.
▪ Enter the total filling quantity of refrigerant on the label
supplied on the external heat pump unit (for notes, see
Installation instructions for the heat pump outdoor unit).
▪ Never allow refrigerant to escape into the atmosphere -
always extract and recycle with a suitable recycling
device.
1 Perform pressure test with nitrogen.
▪ Use nitrogen4.0 or higher.
▪ Maximum 40bar.
2 After the leak search is complete, completely drain.
3 Vacuum lines.
▪ Pressure to be reached: 1mbar absolute.
▪ Time: Minimum 1h
4 Check whether additional refrigerant is needed for primer filling;
fill if necessary.
5 Open the stop valves on the outdoor unit completely until the
stop. Slightly tighten.
6 Reinstall the valve caps.
