Possible risks:
▪ Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room
can lead to oxygen deficiency.
▪ Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes
into contact with fire.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump
down the system, and there is a leak in the refrigerant
circuit:
▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,
with which you can collect all refrigerant from the
system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence:
Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor
because of air going into the operating compressor.
▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's
compressor does NOT have to operate.
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 re-charge is required, refer to 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")
A siphon tube is NOT presentCharge with the cylinder upside
▪ 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.
Charge with the cylinder upright.

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.
Install power cables at least 1 metre away from televisions or radios
to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of
1metre may not be sufficient.
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
compressor has an ON/OFF starting method.
If there exists the possibility of reversed phase after a
momentary black out and the power goes on and off while
the product is operating, attach a reversed phase
protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed
phase can break the compressor and other parts.

5.2Setting up the space heating
system
The Daikin heat pump system supplies leaving water to heat
emitters in one or more rooms.
Because the system offers a wide flexibility to control the
temperature in each room, you need to answer the following
questions first:
▪ How many rooms are heated by the Daikin heatpump system?
▪ Which heat emitter types are used in each room and what is their
design leaving water temperature?
Once the space heating requirements are clear, Daikin recommends
to follow the setup guidelines below.
NOTICE
If an external room thermostat is used, the external room
thermostat will control the room frost protection. However,
the room frost protection is only possible if the leaving
water temperature control on the unit's user interface is
turned ON.
INFORMATION
In case an external room thermostat is used and room frost
protection needs to be guaranteed in all conditions, then
you have to set Emergency [9.5] to Automatic.
Benefits
▪ Highest comfort and efficiency. The smart room thermostat
functionality can decrease or increase the desired leaving water
temperature based on the actual room temperature (modulation).
This results in:
▪ Stable room temperature matching the desired temperature
(higher comfort)
▪ Less ON/OFF cycles (more quiet, higher comfort and higher
efficiency)
▪ Lowest possible leaving water temperature (higher efficiency)
▪ Easy. You can easily set the desired room temperature via the
user interface:
▪ For your daily needs, you can use preset values and schedules.
▪ To deviate from your daily needs, you can temporarily overrule
the preset values and schedules, use the holiday mode…c

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 under floor 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 user interface 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.

Compared with heatpump convectors for one room:
▪ Comfort. You can set the desired room temperature, including
schedules, for each room via the remote controller of the
heatpump convectors.
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
▪ Additional zone = Zone with the highest design temperature
CAUTION
When there is more than one leaving water zone, you must
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:

▪ For each room with heat pump convectors: The heat pump
convectors are directly connected to the indoor unit.
▪ For each room with under floor heating: A shut-off valve (field
supply) is installed before the underfloor heating. It prevents hot
water supply when the room has no heating demand.
▪ For each room with heat pump convectors: The desired room
temperature is set via the remote controller of the heat pump
convectors.
▪ For each room with under floor heating: The desired room
temperature is set via the external room thermostat (wired or
wireless).
▪ The user interface connected to the indoor unit decides the space
operation mode. Mind that the operation mode on each external
room thermostat and remote controller of the heat pump
convectors must be set to match the indoor unit.

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:
Benefits
▪ 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 under floor heating, and the
rapid air heat up of the heat pump convectors (e.g., living
room=under floor heating and the bedroom=convector (no
continuous heating)).
▪ 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 Altherma LT.

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:

▪ The higher the outdoor temperature, the better the performance of
the heatpump.
▪ If energy prices are the same during the day and the night,
Daikin recommends to heat up the DHW tank during the day.
▪ If energy prices are lower during the night, Daikin recommends
to heat up the DHW tank during the night.
▪ 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, Daikin recommends to produce the domestic
hot water during the night when there is lower space heating
Example: If the DHW consumption of a family (4 persons) per day
demand.
is as follows:
▪ 3 showers
▪ 1 bath
▪ 3 sink volumes
Then the DHW consumption = (3×100l)+(1×150l)+(3×10l)=480l

5.5Setting up the energy metering
▪ Via the user interface, you can read out the following energy data:
▪ Produced heat
▪ Consumed energy
▪ You can read out the energy data:
▪ For space heating
▪ For domestic hot water production
▪ You can read out the energy data:
▪ Per month
▪ Per year
INFORMATION
The calculated produced heat and consumed energy are
an estimation, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
INFORMATION
You cannot combine calculating the consumed energy
(example: for anti‑legionella heater) and measuring the
consumed energy (example: for outdoor unit). If you do so,
the energy data will be invalid.
Calculating the consumed energy
▪ The consumed energy is calculated internally based on:
▪ The actual power input of the outdoor unit
▪ The set capacity of the backup heater (if applicable) and anti-
legionella heater
▪ The voltage
▪ Setup and configuration: To get accurate energy data, measure
the capacity (resistance measurement) and set the capacity via
the user interface for:
▪ The backup heater (step1 and step2) (if applicable)
▪ The anti-legionella heater
Measuring the consumed energy
▪ Applicable for all models.
▪ Preferred method because of higher accuracy.
▪ Requires external power meters.
▪ Setup and configuration: When using electrical power meters, set
the number of pulses/kWh for each power meter via the user
interface.
INFORMATION
When measuring the electrical power consumption, make
sure ALL power input of the system is covered by the
electrical power meters.
5.5.3Normal kWh rate power supply
5.5.1Produced heat
INFORMATION
The sensors used to calculate the produced heat are
calibrated automatically.
▪ Applicable for all models.
▪ The produced heat is calculated internally based on:
▪ The leaving and entering water temperature
▪ The flow rate
▪ The power consumption of the anti-legionella heater in the
domestic hot water tank
▪ Setup and configuration:
▪ No additional equipment needed.
▪ Measure the capacity (resistance measurement) of the anti-

5.6Setting up the power consumption
control
▪ The power consumption control:
▪ Allows you to limit the power consumption of the entire system
(sum of outdoor unit, indoor unit, anti-legionella heater, and
optional backup heater).
▪ Configuration: Set the power limitation level and how it has to
be achieved via the user interface.
▪ The power limitation level can be expressed as:
▪ Maximum running current (inA)
▪ Maximum power input (inkW)
▪ The power limitation level can be activated:
▪ Permanently
▪ By digital inputs
5.6.1Permanent power limitation
Permanent power limitation is useful to assure a maximum power or
current input of the system. In some countries, legislation limits the
maximum power consumption for space heating and DHW
production.
▪ Set the power consumption control settings in [9.9] via the user
interface (for the description of all settings, see
"8Configuration"on page47):
▪ Select continuous limitation mode
▪ Select the type of limitation (power in kW or current in A)
▪ 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…).
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.
Configuration
▪ Set the power consumption control settings in [9.9] via the user
interface (for the description of all settings, see
"8Configuration"on page47):
▪ 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 outdoor unit has better efficiency than the electrical heaters.
Therefore, the electrical heaters are limited and turned OFF first.
The system limits power consumption in the following order:
1Limits certain electrical heaters.
If… has priorityThen set the priority heater
via the user interface to…
Domestic hot water production Booster heater (Anti-legionella
heater).
Result: The backup heater (if
applicable) will be turned OFF
first.
Space heatingBackup heater (if applicable).
Result: The anti-legionella
heater will be turned OFF first.

5.7Setting up an external temperature
sensor
You can connect one external temperature sensor. It can measure
the indoor or outdoor ambient temperature. Daikin recommends to
use an external temperature sensor in the following cases:
Indoor ambient temperature
▪ In room thermostat control, the user interface used as room
thermostat (EKRUDAS) measures the indoor ambient
temperature. Therefore, the user interface used as room
thermostat 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, Daikin recommends to connect a remote
indoor sensor (option KRCS01-1).
▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of
the remote indoor sensor.
▪ Configuration: Select room sensor [9.B].
Outdoor ambient temperature
▪ In the outdoor unit, the outdoor ambient temperature is measured.
Therefore, the outdoor unit must be installed on a location:
▪ At the north side of the house or at the side of the house where
the most heat emitters are located
▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
▪ If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote
outdoor sensor (option EKRSCA1).
▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of
the remote outdoor sensor.
▪ Configuration: Select outdoor sensor [9.B].
▪ When the power saving functionality of the outdoor unit is active
(see "8 Configuration" on page 47), the outdoor unit is turned
down to reduce standby energy losses. As a result, the outdoor
ambient temperature is NOT read out.
▪ If the desired leaving water temperature is weather dependent, the
full time outdoor temperature measurement is important. This is
another reason to install the optional outdoor ambient temperature
sensor.
INFORMATION
The external outdoor ambient sensor data (either averaged
or instantaneous) is used in the weather-dependent control
curves. To protect the outdoor unit, the internal sensor of
the outdoor unit is always used.

INFORMATION
In sound sensitive areas (e.g. near a bedroom), you can
install the low sound cover (EKLN08A1) to decrease the
operation noise of the outdoor unit. If you install it, mind the
following spacing guidelines:
6Preparation
6.1Overview: Preparation
This chapter describes what you have to do and know before going
on-site.
Strong winds (≥18 km/h) blowing against the outdoor unit’s air outlet
causes short circuit (suction of discharge air). This may result in:
▪ deterioration of the operational capacity;
▪ frequent frost acceleration in heating operation;
▪ disruption of operation due to decrease of low pressure or
increase of high pressure;
▪ a broken fan (if a strong wind blows continuously on the fan, it
may start rotating very fast, until it breaks).
It is recommended to install a baffle plate when the air outlet is
exposed to wind.
It is recommended to install the outdoor unit with the air inlet facing
the wall and NOT directly exposed to the wind.

b Prevailing wind direction
c Air outlet
Do NOT install the unit in the following places:
▪ Sound sensitive areas (e.g. near a bedroom), so that the
operation noise will cause no trouble.
Note: If the sound is measured under actual installation
conditions, the measured value might be higher than the sound
pressure level mentioned in Sound spectrum in the data book due
to environmental noise and sound reflections.
▪ In places where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapour may be
present in the atmosphere. Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall
off or cause water leakage.
It is NOT recommended to install the unit in the following places
because it may shorten the life of the unit:
▪ Where the voltage fluctuates a lot
▪ In vehicles or vessels
▪ Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present
Seaside installation. Make sure the outdoor unit is NOT directly
exposed to sea winds. This is to prevent corrosion caused by high
levels of salt in the air, which might shorten the life of the unit.

6.4Preparing water piping
▪ Valve towards expansion vessel. The valve towards the
expansion vessel (if equipped) MUST be open.
6.4.1Water circuit requirements
▪ 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 entering the pipe.
▪ Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.
▪ Closed circuit. Use the indoor unit ONLY in a closed water
system. Using the system in an open water system will lead to
excessive corrosion.
▪ Glycol. For safety reasons, it is NOT allowed to add any kind of
glycol to the water 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 water piping diameter in relation to
the required water flow and the available external static pressure
of the pump. See "14 Technical data"on page88 for the external
static pressure curves of the indoor unit.
▪ Water flow. You can find the minimum required water flow for
indoor unit operation in the following table. In all cases, this flow
needs to be guaranteed. When the flow is lower, the indoor unit
will stop operation and display error 7H.
Minimum required flow rate
12l/min
▪ Field supply components – Water. Only use materials that are
compatible with water used in the system and with the materials
used in the indoor unit.
▪ Field supply components – Water pressure and temperature.
Check that all components in the field piping can withstand the
water pressure and water temperature.
▪ Water pressure. The maximum water pressure is 4 bar. Provide
adequate safeguards in the water circuit to ensure that the
maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.
▪ Water 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.
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
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.
▪ 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.

▪ Drainage – Low points. Provide drain taps at all low points of the
system in order to allow complete drainage of the water circuit.
▪ Drainage – Pressure relief valve. Connect the drain hose
properly to the drain to avoid water dripping out of the unit. See
"7.4.4To connect the drain hose to the drain"on page34.
▪ Air vents. Provide air vents at all high points of the system, which
must also be easily accessible for servicing. Two automatic air
purges are provided in the indoor unit. Check that the air purges
are NOT tightened too much, so that automatic release of air in
the water circuit is possible.
▪ Zn-coated parts. Never use Zn-coated parts in the water circuit.
Because the unit's internal water circuit uses copper piping,
excessive corrosion may occur.
▪ 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 or a 3-way
valve in the water 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.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Disinfection. For the disinfection
function of the domestic hot water tank, see "8.4.6 Tank" on
page60.
▪ 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.
a Recirculation connection

c Shower
d Recirculation pump
▪ Valve towards expansion vessel. The valve towards the
expansion vessel (if equipped) MUST be open.
6.4.2Formula to calculate the expansion vessel
pre-pressure
The pre-pressure (Pg) of the vessel depends on the installation
height difference (H):
Pg=0.3+(H/10) (bar)
6.4.3To check the water volume and flow rate
The indoor unit has an expansion vessel of 10litre with a factory-set
pre-pressure of 1bar.
To make sure that the unit operates properly:
▪ You must check the minimum and maximum water volume.
▪ You might need to adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion
vessel.
Minimum water volume
Check that the total water volume in the installation is minimum
20litres without backup heater and minimum 10litres with optional
backup heater, the internal water volume of the indoor unit NOT
included.
INFORMATION
In critical processes, or in rooms with a high heat load,
extra water might be required.
NOTICE
When circulation in each space heating/cooling loop is
controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that
the minimum water volume is guaranteed, even if all of the
valves are closed.

(a) This is the height difference (m) between the highest point
of the water circuit and the indoor unit. If the indoor unit is
at the highest point of the installation, the installation height
is 0m.
Minimum flow rate
Check that the minimum flow rate in the installation is guaranteed in
all conditions. This minimum flow rate is required during defrost/
backup heater operation (if applicable). For this purpose, use the
overpressure bypass valve delivered with the unit, and respect the
minimum water volume.
NOTICE
When circulation in each or certain space heating loops is
controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that
the minimum flow rate is guaranteed, even if all valves are
closed. In case the minimum flow rate cannot be reached,
a flow error 7H will be generated (no heating or operation).

legislation.
▪ Make electrical connections to the fixed wiring.
▪ All components procured on-site and all electrical
construction MUST comply with the applicable
legislation.
WARNING
The backup heater MUST have a dedicated power supply
and MUST be protected by the safety devices required by
the applicable legislation.
a Schrader valve
6.4.5To check the water volume: Examples
Example 1
The indoor unit is installed 5 m below the highest point in the water
circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 100l.
No actions or adjustments are required.
Example 2
The indoor unit is installed at the highest point in the water circuit.
The total water volume in the water circuit is 250l.
Actions:
▪ Because the total water volume (250l) is more than the default
water volume (200l), the pre-pressure must be decreased.
▪ The required pre-pressure is:
Pg = (0.3+(H/10))bar = (0.3+(0/10))bar=0.3bar.
▪ The corresponding maximum water volume at 0.3 bar is 290 l.
(See the graph in the chapter above).
▪ Because 250 l is lower than 290 l, the expansion vessel is
appropriate for the installation.
6.5Preparing electrical wiring
6.5.1About preparing electrical wiring
WARNING
The anti-legionella heater MUST have a dedicated power
supply and MUST be protected by the safety devices
required by the applicable legislation.
WARNING
ALWAYS use multicore cable for power supply cables.
6.5.2About 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.
Whether the power supply is interrupted or not, the wiring to the unit
is different.
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
WARNING
▪ If the power supply has a missing or wrong N-phase,
equipment might break down.
▪ Establish proper earthing. Do NOT earth the unit to a
utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shock.
▪ Install the required fuses or circuit breakers.
▪ Secure the electrical wiring with cable ties so that the
cables do NOT come in contact with sharp edges or
piping, particularly on the high-pressure side.
▪ Do NOT use taped wires, stranded conductor wires,
extension cords, or connections from a star system.
They can cause overheating, electrical shock or fire.
▪ Do NOT install a phase advancing capacitor, because
this unit is equipped with an inverter. A phase
advancing capacitor will reduce performance and may
cause accidents.

c Make sure the flare nut is fitted.
7.5.6To braze the pipe end
The indoor unit and outdoor unit have flare connections. Connect
both ends without brazing. If brazing should be needed, take the
following into account:
▪ When brazing, blow through with nitrogen to prevent creation of
large quantities of oxidised film on the inside of the piping. This
film adversely affects valves and compressors in the refrigerating
system and prevents proper operation.
▪ Set the nitrogen pressure to 20kPa (0.2bar) (just enough so it
can be felt on the skin) with a pressure-reducing valve.

▪ Do NOT use anti-oxidants when brazing pipe joints.
Residue can clog pipes and break equipment.
▪ Do NOT use flux when brazing copper-to-copper refrigerant
piping. Use phosphor copper brazing filler alloy (BCuP), which
does not require flux.
Flux has an extremely harmful influence on refrigerant piping
systems. For instance, if chlorine based flux is used, it will cause
pipe corrosion or, in particular, if the flux contains fluorine, it will
deteriorate the refrigerant oil.

7.6Checking the refrigerant piping
7.6.1About checking the refrigerant piping
The outdoor unit's internal refrigerant piping has been factory tested
for leaks. You only have to check the outdoor unit's external
refrigerant piping.
Before checking the refrigerant piping
Make sure the refrigerant piping is connected between the outdoor
unit and the indoor unit.
Typical workflow
Checking the refrigerant piping typically consists of the following
stages:
1Checking for leaks in the refrigerant piping.
2Performing vacuum drying to remove all moisture, air or
nitrogen from the refrigerant piping.
If there is a possibility of moisture being present in the refrigerant
piping (for example, water may have entered the piping), first carry
out the vacuum drying procedure below until all moisture has been
removed.
NOTICE
Make sure to use a recommended bubble test solution
from your wholesaler. Do not use soap water, which may
cause cracking of flare nuts (soap water may contain salt,
which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the piping
gets cold), and/or lead to corrosion of flared joints (soap
water may contain ammonia which causes a corrosive
effect between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
1 Charge the system with nitrogen gas up to a gauge pressure of
at least 200 kPa (2 bar). It is recommended to pressurize to
3000kPa (30bar) in order to detect small leaks.
2 Check for leaks by applying the bubble test solution to all
connections.
3 Discharge all nitrogen gas.
7.6.4To perform vacuum drying
Connect the vacuum pump and manifold as follows:

7 Installation
NOTICE
▪ A drain device and pressure relief device must be
installed on the cold water inlet connection of the
domestic hot water cylinder.
▪ To avoid back siphonage, it is recommended to install a
non-return valve on the water inlet of the domestic hot
water tank in accordance with the applicable legislation.
▪ It is recommended to install the pressure relief valve on
a higher position than the top of the domestic hot water
tank. Heating of the domestic hot water tank causes
water to expand and without pressure relief valve the
water pressure inside the tank can rise above the tank
design pressure. Also the field installation (piping,
tapping points, etc.) connected to the tank is subjected
to this high pressure. To prevent this, a pressure relief
valve needs to be installed. The overpressure
prevention depends on the correct operation of the field
installed pressure relief valve. If this is NOT working
correctly, overpressure will deform the tank and water
leakage may occur. To confirm good operation, regular
maintenance is required.
7.8.4To connect the recirculation piping
Prerequisite: Only required if you need recirculation in your system.
1 Remove the top panel from the unit, see "7.2.3 To open the
indoor unit"on page30.
2 Cut out the rubber grommet on top of the unit, and remove the
stop. The recirculation connector is placed below the hole.
3 Route the recirculation piping through the grommet and connect
it to the recirculation connector.
4 Reattach the top panel.
7.8.5To fill the water circuit
To fill the water circuit, use a field supply filling kit. Make sure you
comply with the applicable legislation.
INFORMATION
Make sure both air purge valves (one on the magnetic
filter, and one between the 3‑way valve and flow sensor)
are open.
7.8.6To fill the domestic hot water tank
1 Open every hot water tap in turn to purge air from the system
pipe work.
2 Open the cold water supply valve.
3 Close all water taps after all air is purged.
4 Check for water leaks.
5 Manually operate the field-installed pressure relief valve to
ensure a free water flow through the discharge pipe.
NOTICE
To operate the system, the domestic hot water tank needs
to be filled completely. Turning on the system when the
tank is not full can damage the integrated anti-legionella
heater and cause electrical errors.
7.8.7To insulate the water piping
The piping in the complete water circuit MUST be insulated to
prevent condensation during defrost operation and reduction of the
heating capacity.
If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher
than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at
least 20 mm to prevent condensation on the surface of the
insulation.

Emitter type
Depending on the system water volume and the heater emitter type
of the main zone, the heat up of the main zone can take longer. This
setting can compensate for a slow or a quick heating system during
the heat up cycle. The target delta T for the main zone will depend
on this setting.
In room thermostat control, this setting will influence the maximum
modulation of the desired leaving water temperature.
Therefore it is important to set this correctly and in accordance with
your system layout.
#CodeDescription
[2.7][2‑0C]Emitter type

1: Fancoil unitMaximum 55°CVariable (see [2.B])
2: RadiatorMaximum 65°CFixed 10°C
NOTICE
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 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.
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.
The unit is designed to support under floor loops operation. The
recommended leaving water temperature for under floor 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, under floor 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
When only the anti‑legionella heater is active in heating,
deltaT will be controlled according to the fixed capacity of
the anti‑legionella heater. It is possible that this deltaT is
different from the selected target deltaT.
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 10°C fixed.
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.
[2.B.1][1‑0B]Delta T heating: A minimum temperature
difference is required for the good
operation of heat emitters in heating

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

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. Refer
to the illustration below.

INFORMATION
During defrost operation, the shut-off valve is ALWAYS
opened.
During thermo: If [F‑0B] is enabled, the shut off valve closes when
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

Pump limitation
Pump speed limitation [9‑0D] defines the maximum pump speed. In
normal conditions, the default setting should NOT be modified. The
pump speed limitation will be overruled when the flow rate is in the
range of the minimum flow (error 7H).
#CodeDescription

are NOT guaranteed.
▪ 5~8: Limitation when no actuators.
When there is no heating output, the
pump speed limitation is applicable.
When there is heating output, the
pump speed is only determined by
delta T in relation to the required
capacity. With this limitation range,
delta T is possible and the comfort is
guaranteed.
a External static pressure
b Water flow rate
Pump outside range
When the pump operation function is disabled the pump will stop if
the outdoor temperature is higher than the value set by the Space
heating off temperature [4‑02]. When the pump operation is enabled,
the pump operation is possible at all outdoor temperatures.
Use this setting to compensate for possible heat losses of the
building due to the evaporation of melted ice or snow. (e.g. in cold
region countries).
In heating operation, the desired leaving water temperature is locally
increased around an outdoor temperature of 0°C.This compensation
can be selected when using an absolute or a weather dependent

#CodeDescription
[9.4.3][8-03]Anti-legionella heater delay timer.
Start-up delay time for the anti-legionella
heater when domestic hot water mode is
active.
▪ When domestic hot water mode is
NOT active, the delay time is
20minutes.
▪ The delay time starts from anti-
legionella heater ON temperature.
▪ By adapting the anti-legionella heater
delay time versus the maximum
running time, you can find an optimal
balance between the energy efficiency
and the heat up time.
▪ If the anti-legionella heater delay time
is set too high, it might take a long
time before the domestic hot water
reaches its set temperature.
▪ The setting [8‑03] is only meaningful if
setting [4‑03]=1. Setting [4‑03]=0/2/3/4
limits the anti-legionella heater
automatically in relation to heatpump
operation time in domestic water
heating mode.
▪ Make sure that [8‑03] is always in
relation with the maximum running
time [8‑01].
Range: 20~95 minutes

Emergency
Emergency
When the heat pump fails to operate, the optional backup heater and
anti-legionella heater can serve as an emergency heater and either
automatically or non-automatically take over the heat load.
▪ When auto emergency is set to Automatic and a heat pump failure
occurs, the optional backup heater will automatically take over the
heat load, and the anti-legionella heater will automatically take
over the domestic hot water production.
▪ When auto emergency is set to Manual and a heat pump failure
occurs, the domestic hot water and space heating operation will
stop and need to be recovered manually via the user interface. To
recover operation manually, go to the Malfunctioning main menu
screen, where the user interface will then ask you to confirm
whether the optional backup heater or anti-legionella heater can
take over the heat load or not.
We recommend to set Emergency to Automatic if the house is

Bivalent
Only applies to indoor unit installations with an auxiliary boiler
(alternating operation, connected in parallel). The purpose of
bivalent operation is to determine which heating source can/will
provide the space heating, either the indoor unit or an 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.
INFORMATION
▪ The combination of setting [4‑03]=0/2 with bivalent
operation at low outdoor temperature can result in
domestic hot water shortage.
▪ 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.

9.1Overview: Commissioning
This chapter describes what you have to do and know to
commission the system after it is configured.
Typical workflow
Commissioning typically consists of the following stages:
1Checking the "Checklist before commissioning".
2Performing an air purge.
3Performing a test run for the system.
4If necessary, performing a test run for one or more actuators.
5If necessary, performing an underfloor heating screed dryout.
9.2Precautions 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
NEVER operate the unit without thermistors and/or
pressure sensors/switches. Burning of the compressor
might result.
NOTICE
Do NOT operate the unit until the refrigerant piping is
complete (when operated this way, the compressor will
break).
The following field wiring has been carried out according
to this document and the applicable legislation:
▪ Between the local supply panel and the outdoor unit
▪ Between indoor unit and outdoor unit
▪ 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 squeezedpipes on the inside of the indoor and outdoor units.
Only if you use the optional backup heater:
Depending on the backup heater type, backup heatercircuit breaker F1B (on the switch box of the backup
heater) is turned ON.
The anti-legionella heater circuit breaker F2B (field
supply) is turned ON.
There are NO refrigerant leaks.
The refrigerant pipes (gas and liquid) are thermally
insulated.
The correct pipe size is installed and the pipes are
properly insulated.
There is NO water leak inside the indoor unit.
The shut-off valves are properly installed and fully open.
The stop valves (gas and liquid) on the outdoor unit are
fully open.
The air purge valve is open (at least 2 turns).
The pressure relief valve purges water when opened.
The minimum water volume is guaranteed in all
conditions. See "To check the water volume" in
"6.4Preparing water piping"on page25.
The domestic hot water tank is filled completely.
9.3Checklist before commissioning
After the installation of the unit, first check the following items. Once
all below checks are fulfilled, the unit MUST be closed, ONLY then

9.4.2Air purge function
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 removal 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 for purging air:
▪ Manual: the unit operates 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 more than helpful feature to remove all air from
the water circuit in the space heating or the domestic hot water
heating mode. Air purge must be performed for both the space
heating and the domestic hot water circuit. The operation speed of
the pump (slow or quick) can also be set.
▪ Automatic: the unit automatically changes the pump speed and
switches the position of the 3-way valve between the space
heating and the domestic hot water heating mode.
Typical workflow
Purging the air from the system should consist of:
1Performing a manual air purge
2Performing an automatic air purge
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.
The air purge function automatically stops after 30minutes.
To perform a manual air purge

4 Select Start air purge.
5 Select OK to confirm.
Result: The air purge starts. It will stop automatically
when air purge cycle is finished.
6 During manual operation, you can change the
desired pump speed. The position of the 3-way valve
must be changed between space heating and
domestic hot water. To change the settings during
the air purge, open the menu and go to Settings.

schedule according to the above instruction of the
screed manufacturer,
▪ checking the proper functioning of the setup on a
regular basis,
▪ selecting the correct program complying with the type
of the used screed of the floor.
NOTICE
To perform an underfloor heating screed dryout, room frost
protection needs to be disabled ([2‑06]=0). By default, it is
enabled ([2‑06]=1). However, due to the "installer-on-site"
mode (see "Commissioning"), room frost protection will be
automatically disabled for 36 hours after the first power-on.
If the screed dryout still needs to be performed after the
first 36 hours of power-on, manually disable room frost
protection by setting [2‑06] to "0", and KEEP it disabled
until the screed dryout has finished. Ignoring this notice will
result in cracking of the screed.
NOTICE
For the underfloor heating screed dryout to be able to start,
make sure the following settings are met:
▪ [4‑00]=1
▪ [C‑02]=0
▪ [D‑01]=0

NOTICE
▪ When checking the magnetic filter/dirt separator for
tightness, hold it firmly, so as NOT to apply stress to
the water piping.
▪ Do NOT isolate the magnetic filter/dirt separator by
closing the shut‑off valves. To properly empty the dirt
separator, sufficient pressure is required.
▪ To prevent dirt from remaining in the dirt separator,
ALWAYS take off the magnetic sleeve.
▪ ALWAYS first unscrew the drain cap, and connect a
drain hose to the bottom of the water filter, then open
the drain valve.
INFORMATION
For yearly maintenance, you do not have to remove the
water filter from the unit to clean it. But in case of trouble
with the water filter, you might have to remove it so that
you can thoroughly clean it. Then you need to do as
follows:
▪ "11.5.1To remove the water filter"on page80
▪ "11.5.2To clean the water filter in case of trouble"on
page81
▪ "11.5.3To install the water filter"on page81
Water pressure relief valve
Open the valve and check if it operates correctly. The water may be
very hot!
Checkpoints are:
▪ The water flow coming from the relief valve is high enough, no
blockage of the valve or in between piping is suspected.
▪ Dirty water coming out of the relief valve:
▪ open the valve until the discharged water does NOT contain dirt
anymore
▪ flush the system
To make sure this water originates from the tank, check after a tank
heat up cycle.
It is recommended to do this maintenance more frequently.
Pressure relief valve hose
Check whether the pressure relief valve hose is positioned
appropriately to drain the water. See "7.4.4 To connect the drain
hose to the drain"on page34.
Relief valve of the domestic hot water tank (field supply)
Open the valve and check the correct operation. Water may be very
hot!
Checkpoints are:
▪ The water flow coming from the relief valve is high enough, no
blockage of the valve or in between piping is suspected.
▪ Dirty water coming out of the relief valve:
▪ open the valve until the discharged water does not contain dirt
anymore
▪ flush and clean the complete tank, including the piping between
the relief valve and cold water inlet.
To make sure this water originates from the tank, check after a tank
heat up cycle.
It is recommended to do this maintenance more frequently.
Anti-legionella heater of the domestic hot water tank
It is recommended to remove lime buildup on the anti-legionella
heater to extend its life span, especially in regions with hard water.
To do so, drain the domestic hot water tank, remove the antilegionella heater from the domestic hot water tank and immerse in a
bucket (or similar) with lime-removing product for 24 hours.
When reattaching the anti-legionella heater to the domestic hot
water tank, respect the tightening sequence and torque:
1Clean the flange.
2Align the gasket with the centre of the flange.
3Tighten with your hand.
4Tighten with a torque wrench in 2 steps:
▪ Step 1: 7.5N∙m
▪ Step 2: 15N∙m
NOTICE
When using means for descaling or chemical disinfection,
it must be ensured that the water quality remains compliant
with EU directive 98/83EC.

these contactors must be in open position when the power is
turned OFF.
WARNING
If the internal wiring is damaged, it has to be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons.
Descaling
Depending on water quality and set temperature, scale can deposit
on the heat exchanger inside the domestic hot water tank and can
restrict heat transfer. For this reason, descaling of the heat
exchanger may be required at certain intervals.
Chemical disinfection
If the applicable legislation requires a chemical disinfection in
specific situations, involving the domestic hot water tank, please be
aware that the domestic hot water tank is a stainless steel cylinder.

the operation manual.
Possible causesCorrective action
The water flow is too lowCheck and make sure that:
▪ All shut-off valves of the water
circuit are completely open.
▪ The water filter is clean. Clean
if necessary.
▪ There is no air in the system.
Purge air if necessary. You
can purge air manually (see
"To perform a manual air

▪ The resistance in the water
circuit is NOT too high for the
pump (see the ESP curve in
the "Technical data" chapter).
If the problem persists after you
have conducted all of the above
checks, contact your dealer. In
some cases, it is normal that the
unit decides to use a low water
flow.
The water volume in the
installation is too low
Make sure that the water volume
in the installation is above the
minimum required value (see
"6.4.3To check the water volume
and flow rate"on page26).
12.3.2Symptom: The compressor does NOT
start (space heating or domestic water
heating)
Possible causesCorrective action
The unit must start up out of its
operation range (the water
temperature is too low) and the
system contains a backup
heater

INFORMATION
If the anti-legionella heater overheats and is disabled by
the thermostatic safety, the unit will not give an error
directly. Check if the anti-legionella heater is still in
operation if you experience one or more of the following
errors:
▪ Powerful operation takes a very long time to heat up
and the error code AJ-03 is displayed.
▪ During anti-legionella operation (weekly), the error code
AH-00 is displayed because the unit cannot reach the
requested temperature required for tank disinfection.
INFORMATION
A malfunctioning anti-legionella heater will have an impact
on energy metering and power consumption control.
NOTICE
When the minimum water flow is lower than described in
the table below, the unit will temporarily stop operation and
the user interface will display error 7H‑01. After some time,
this error will reset automatically and the unit will resume
operation.
INFORMATION
Error AJ-03 is reset automatically from the moment there is
a normal tank heat-up.
INFORMATION
How an error code can be reset will be displayed on the
user interface connected on the indoor unit.

Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump
down the system, and there is a leak in the refrigerant
circuit:
▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,
with which you can collect all refrigerant from the
system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence:
Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor
because of air going into the operating compressor.
▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's
compressor does NOT have to operate.
13 Disposal
NOTICE
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before
removing the refrigerant piping. If the compressor is still
running and the stop valve is open during pump down, air
will be sucked into the system. Compressor breakdown or
damage to the system can result due to abnormal pressure
in the refrigerant cycle.
Pump down operation will extract all refrigerant from the system into
the outdoor unit.
1 Remove the valve lid from the liquid stop valve and the gas stop
valve.
2 Install a manifold on the gas stop valve.
3 Carry out the forced cooling operation. See "13.3 To start and
stop forced cooling"on page87.
4 After 5 to 10minutes (after only 1 or 2minutes in case of very
low ambient temperatures (<−10°C)), close the liquid stop valve
with a hexagonal wrench.
5 Check on the manifold if the vacuum is reached.
6 After 2-3 minutes, close the gas stop valve and stop forced
cooling operation.
4 Set DIP switches SW5 and SW6 to OFF.
5 Set DIP switch SW2 to COOL.
6 Reattach the service PCB cover.
7 Turn the power back ON. Proceed with the next step within 3
minutes after restarting.
8 To start forced cooling, press the forced cooling operation
switch SW1.
9 To stop forced cooling, press the forced cooling operation
switch SW1 again.
10 Turn OFF the power, remove the switch box cover and service
PCB cover and set the DIP switches SW5, SW6 and SW2 back
to their original position.
11 Reattach the service PCB cover and switch box cover and turn
the power back ON.
NOTICE
Take care that while running forced cooling operation, the
water temperature remains higher than 5°C (see
temperature read out of the indoor unit). You can achieve
this, for example, by activating all fans of the fan coil units.
A subset of the latest technical data is available on the regional Daikin website (publicly accessible). The full set of latest technical data is
