NOTICE
Make sure the field piping and connections are NOT subjected to stress.
WARNING
During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a pressure higher than the
maximum allowable pressure (as indicated on the nameplate of the unit).
1 | General safety precautions
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks,
ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:
▪ Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen
deficiency.
▪ Toxic gas might 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: Selfcombustion 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.
ERLA03DAV3 + EHFZ03S18DJ3V
Daikin Altherma 3 R F
4P596821-1A – 2020.05
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.
Installer reference guide
9
1 | General safety precautions
▪ In case recharge is required, see the nameplate of the unit. It states the type of
refrigerant and necessary amount.
▪ The unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending on pipe sizes and pipe
lengths some systems require additional charging of refrigerant.
▪ Only use tools exclusively for the refrigerant type used in the system, this to
ensure pressure resistance and prevent foreign materials from entering into the
system.
▪ Charge the liquid refrigerant as follows:
WARNING
Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may only be charged after
performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.
Possible consequence: Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor because of
oxygen going into the operating compressor.
IfThen
A siphon tube is present
Charge with the cylinder upright.
(i.e., the cylinder is marked with "Liquid
filling siphon attached")
A siphon tube is NOT presentCharge with the cylinder upside down.
▪ Open refrigerant cylinders slowly.
▪ Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may prevent normal
operation.
CAUTION
When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when pausing, close the valve of
the refrigerant tank immediately. If the valve is NOT closed immediately, remaining
pressure might charge additional refrigerant. Possible consequence: Incorrect
refrigerant amount.
1.2.4 Water
Installer reference guide

1.2.5 Electrical
1 | General safety precautions
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
▪ Turn OFF all power supply before removing the switch box cover, connecting
electrical wiring or touching electrical parts.
▪ Disconnect the power supply for more than 10minutes, and measure the voltage
at the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before
servicing. The voltage MUST be less than 50VDC before you can touch electrical
components. For the location of the terminals, see the wiring diagram.
▪ Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.
▪ Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service cover is removed.
WARNING
If NOT factory installed, a main switch or other means for disconnection, having a
contact separation in all poles providing full disconnection under overvoltage
categoryIII condition, MUST be installed in the fixed wiring.
WARNING
▪ ONLY use copper wires.
▪ Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable legislation.
▪ All field wiring MUST be performed in accordance with the wiring diagram
supplied with the product.
▪ NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they do NOT come in contact with
the piping and sharp edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the
terminal connections.
▪ Make sure to install earth wiring. Do NOT earth the unit to a utility pipe, surge
absorber, or telephone earth. Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock.
▪ Make sure to use a dedicated power circuit. NEVER use a power supply shared by
another appliance.
▪ Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit breakers.
▪ Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure to do so may cause
electrical shock or fire.
▪ When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure it is compatible with the
inverter (resistant to high frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening
of the earth leakage protector.
ERLA03DAV3 + EHFZ03S18DJ3V
Daikin Altherma 3 R F
4P596821-1A – 2020.05
CAUTION
▪ When connecting the power supply: connect the earth cable first, before making
the current-carrying connections.
▪ When disconnecting the power supply: disconnect the current-carrying cables
first, before separating the earth connection.
▪ 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.
Installer reference guide
11
1 | General safety precautions
Install power cables at least 1 m away from televisions or radios to prevent
interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 m may not be
sufficient.
NOTICE
Precautions when laying power wiring:
▪ Do NOT connect wiring of different thicknesses to the power terminal block (slack
in the power wiring may cause abnormal heat).
▪ When connecting wiring which is the same thickness, do as shown in the figure
above.
▪ For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect firmly, then secure to
prevent outside pressure being exerted on the terminal board.
▪ Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terminal screws. A screwdriver
with a small head will damage the head and make proper tightening impossible.
▪ Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.
WARNING
▪ After finishing the electrical work, confirm that each electrical component and
terminal inside the electrical components box is connected securely.
▪ Make sure all covers are closed before starting up the unit.
NOTICE
Only applicable if the power supply is three‑phase, and the 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.

5.2.1 Multiple rooms – TwoLWT zones
▪ Which heat emitter types are used in each room and what is their design leaving
water temperature?
Once the space heating requirements are clear, we recommend 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 user interface of the unit 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 auto emergency [A.6.C] to 1.
NOTICE
An overpressure bypass valve can be integrated in the system. Keep in mind that this
valve might not be shown on the illustrations.
This unit is designed to deliver water at 2 different temperatures. A typical
installation consists of underfloor heating at a lower temperature and radiators at
a higher water temperature.
In this document:
▪ Main zone = Zone with the lowest design temperature
▪ Additional zone = Zone with the highest design temperature
Typical example:

▪ For the main zone: the room temperature is controlled by the user interface,
which is used as room thermostat (optional equipment EKRUDAS).
▪ For the additional zone:
- The external thermostat is directly connected to the indoor unit.
- The desired room temperature is set via the external thermostat and the
thermostatic valves of the radiators in each room.
- The heating demand signal from the external thermostat is connected to the
digital input on the indoor unit (X2M/35a and X2M/30). The indoor unit will
only supply the desired additional leaving water temperature when there is an
actual demand.
▪ The user interface connected to the indoor unit decides the space operation
mode. Mind that the operation mode on each remote controller of the
heatpump convectors must be set to match the indoor unit.

5.3 Setting up the domestic hot water tank
5.3.1 System layout – Integrated DHW tank
5.3.2 Selecting the desired temperature for the DHW tank
A Domestic hot water
a Cold water IN
b Hot water OUT
People experience water as hot when its temperature is 40°C. Therefore, the DHW
consumption is always expressed as equivalent hot water volume at 40°C.
However, you can set the DHW tank temperature at a higher temperature
(example: 53°C), which is then mixed with cold water (example: 15°C).
Selecting the desired temperature for the DHW tank consists of:
1Determining the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water volume at 40°C).
2Determining the desired temperature for the DHW tank.
Determining the DHW consumption
Answer the following questions and calculate the DHW consumption (equivalent
hot water volume at 40°C) using typical water volumes:
QuestionTypical water volume
How many showers are needed per
1shower = 10min×10l/min = 100l
day?
How many baths are needed per day?1bath = 150l
How much water is needed at the
1sink = 2min×5l/min = 10l
kitchen sink per day?
Are there any other domestic hot water
—
needs?
Installer reference guide
26
Example: If the DHW consumption for 2 persons per day is as follows:
▪ 1 showers
▪ 1 bath
▪ 2 sink volumes
Then the DHW consumption = (1×100l)+(1×150l)+(2×10l)=270l

Determining the desired temperature for the DHW tank
FormulaExample
V1=V2+V2×(T2−40)/(40−T1)If:
▪ V2=180l
▪ T2=54°C
▪ T1=15°C
Then V1=280l
V1DHW consumption (equivalent hot water volume at 40°C)
V2Required DHW tank volume if only heated once
T2DHW tank temperature
T1Cold water temperature
DHW tank volume
Integrated DHW tank volume: 180l (=V2)
Energy saving tips
▪ If the DHW consumption differs from day to day, you can program a weekly
schedule with different desired DHW tank temperatures for each day.
▪ The lower the desired DHW tank temperature, the more cost effective. By
selecting a larger DHW tank, you can lower the desired DHW tank temperature.
▪ The heatpump itself can produce domestic hot water of maximum 55°C (50°C if
outdoor temperature is low). The electrical resistance integrated in the
heatpump can increase this temperature. However, this consumes more energy.
We recommend to set the desired DHW tank temperature below 55°C to avoid
using the backup heater.
▪ The higher the outdoor temperature, the better the performance of the
heatpump.
- If energy prices are the same during the day and the night, we recommend to
heat up the DHW tank during the day.
- If energy prices are lower during the night, we recommend 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, we
recommend to produce the domestic hot water during the night when there is
lower space heating demand.

ERLA03DAV3 + EHFZ03S18DJ3V
Daikin Altherma 3 R F
4P596821-1A – 2020.05
▪ For large DHW consumptions, you can heat up the DHW tank several times
during the day.
▪ To heat up the DHW tank to the desired DHW tank temperature, you can use the
following energy sources:
- Thermodynamic cycle of the heatpump
- Electrical backup heater

INFORMATION
You cannot combine calculating the consumed energy (example: for backup 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
- 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).
Measuring the consumed energy
▪ 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.
