waves. Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system, and cause malfunction of the equipment.
In places where there is a risk of fire due to the leakage of
flammable gases (example: thinner or gasoline), carbon fibre, ignitable dust.
In places where corrosive gas (example: sulphurous acid gas) is
produced. Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause the refrigerant to leak.
1.2.3 Refrigerant
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).
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 may be produced if refrigerant gas comes
into contact with fire.
WARNING
Always recover the refrigerants. 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
Refrigerant cannot be charged until field wiring has
been completed.
Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the
leak test and the vacuum drying.
When charging a system, care shall be taken that its
maximum permissible charge is never exceeded, in view of the danger of liquid hammer.
When the refrigerant system is to be opened,
refrigerant must be treated according to the applicable legislation.
To avoid compressor breakdown, do not charge the refrigerant
more than the specified amount.
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:
If Then
A siphon tube is present
(i.e., the cylinder is marked with "Liquid filling siphon attached")
A siphon tube is NOT present Charge with the cylinder upside
Charge with the cylinder upright.

5.2.2 Multiple rooms – One LWT 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.
Under floor 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.

5.2.3 Multiple rooms – Two LWT zones
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 = The other zone
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 the main zone:
A mixing valve station is installed before the under floor heating.
The pump of the mixing valve station is controlled by the ON/
OFF signal on the indoor unit (X2M/5 and X2M/7; normal closed shut-off valve output).
The room temperature is controlled by the user interface, which
is used as room thermostat.
For the additional zone:
The heat pump convectors are directly connected to the indoor
unit.
The desired room temperature is set via the remote controller of
the heat pump convectors for each room.
The heating demand signals of each heat pump convector are
connected in parallel to the digital input on the indoor unit (X2M/1 and X2M/4). The indoor unit will only supply the desired additional leaving water temperature when there is an actual demand.

5.3 Setting 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 weather-dependent 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:

Make sure the return water to the heat pump does NOT exceed
55°C. To do so:
Set the desired water temperature via the auxiliary boiler
controller to maximum 55°C.
Install an aquastat valve in the return water flow of the
heat pump.
Set the aquastat valve to close above 55°C and to open below
55°C.
Install non-return valves.
Make sure to only have one expansion vessel in the water circuit.
An expansion vessel is already premounted in the indoor unit.
Install the digital I/O PCB (option EKRP1HB).
Connect X1 and X2 (changeover to external heat source) on the
PCB to the auxiliary boiler thermostat.
To setup the heat emitters, see "5.2 Setting up the space heating
system" on page 8.
Configuration
Via the user interface (quick wizard):
Set the use of a bivalent system as external heat source.
Set the bivalent temperature and hysteresis.
NOTICE
Make sure the bivalent hysteresis has enough
differential to prevent frequent changeover between indoor unit and auxiliary boiler.
Frequent changeover may cause corrosion of the
auxiliary boiler. Contact the manufacturer of the auxiliary boiler for more information.
Changeover to external heat source decided by an auxiliary contact
Only possible in external room thermostat control AND one

5.4.2 Selecting the 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 volume and desired temperature for the DHW tank consists of:
1 Determining the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water
volume at 40°C).
2 Determining the volume and desired temperature for the DHW
tank.
Possible DHW tank volumes
Type Possible volumes
Integrated DHW tank 180 l
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.
The heat pump itself can produce domestic hot water of maximum
55°C. The electrical resistance integrated in the heat pump can higher this temperature. However, this consumes more energy. ROTEX recommends to set the desired DHW tank temperature below 55°C to avoid using the electrical resistance.
When the heat pump produces domestic hot water, it cannot heat
up a space. When you need domestic hot water and space heating at the same, ROTEX recommends to produce the domestic hot water during the night when there is lower space heating demand.
Determining the DHW consumption
Answer the following questions and calculate the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water volume at 40°C) using the typical water volumes:
a Indoor unit b Heat exchanger c Backup heater d Pump e Motorised 3-way valve
f DHW tank g Shut-off valve h Collector (field supply)
FHL1...3 Under floor heating
UI User interface
Question Typical water volume
How many showers are needed per day?
How many baths are needed per day?
How much water is needed at the kitchen sink per day?
Are there any other domestic hot water needs?
Example: If the DHW consumption of a family (4 persons) per day is as follows:
3 showers
1 bath
3 sink volumes
Then the DHW consumption = (3×100 l)+(1×150 l)+(3×10 l)=480 l
1 shower=10 min×10 l/min=100 l
1 bath=150 l
1 sink=2 min×5 l/min=10 l

5.7 Setting up an external temperature sensor
Indoor ambient temperature
You can connect one external temperature sensor. It can measure the indoor ambient temperature. ROTEX recommends to use an external temperature sensor in the following cases:
In room thermostat control, the user interface is used as room
thermostat and it measures the indoor ambient temperature. Therefore, the user interface 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, ROTEX 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 [A.2.2.B].
Outdoor ambient temperature
The remote outdoor sensor (delivered as accessory) measures the outdoor ambient temperature.
Setup:
To install the remote outdoor sensor outside, see the
installation manual of the sensor (delivered as accessory).
To connect the remote outdoor sensor to the indoor unit, see

6.3 Preparing piping
6.3.1 Circuit requirements
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the "General safety precautions" chapter.
Circuit types. Except for the refrigerant circuit, inside the unit 2 other circuits are included. For future references: the circuit connected to the bore hole is referred to as the brine circuit, the other circuit connected to the heating emitters is referred to as the space heating circuit.
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.
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 for brine circuit and space heating circuit. Using the system in an open water system will lead to excessive corrosion.

>500
(mm)
Do NOT install the unit in places such as:
Where there is mist of mineral oil, oil spray or vapour.
Plastic parts may deteriorate, and cause them to fall out or water to leak.
Sound sensitive areas (e.g. near a bedroom and the like), so that
the operation noise will cause no trouble.
The foundation must be strong enough to bear the weight of the
unit. Take the weight of the unit with a domestic hot water tank full of water into account. Make sure, in the event of a water leak, water cannot cause any damage to the installation space and surroundings.
In places with high humidity (max. RH=85%), for example a
bathroom.
In places where frost is possible. Ambient temperature around the
indoor unit should be >5°C.
The indoor unit is designed for indoor installation only and for
ambient temperatures ranging 5~30°C in heating mode.
WARNING
When connecting to an open groundwater system, an intermediate heat exchanger is required to prevent damage (dirt, freeze ups) to the unit.
Glycol. For safety reasons, it is NOT allowed to add any kind of
glycol to the space heating 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 piping diameter in relation to the
required flow and the available external static pressure of the pump. See "14 Technical data" on page 65 for the external static pressure curves of the indoor unit.
Fluid flow. You can find the minimum required water for the
indoor unit operation in the following table. When the flow is lower, flow error 7H will be displayed and the indoor unit will be stopped.
Model Minimum flow
10 Space heating circuit: 8 l/min
Brine circuit: 25 l/min
Field supply components – Fluid. Only use materials that are
compatible with fluid used in the system and with the materials used in the indoor unit.
Field supply components – Fluid pressure and temperature.
Check that all components in the field piping can withstand the fluid pressure and fluid temperature.
Fluid pressure – Space heating and brine circuit. The
maximum fluid pressure of the space heating and brine circuit is 4 bar. Provide adequate safeguards in the water circuit to ensure that the maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.

Drainage – Low points. Provide drain taps at all low points of the
system in order to allow complete drainage of the circuit.
Drainage – Pressure relief valve. Provide a proper drain for the
pressure relief valve to avoid fluid dripping out of the unit. See
"7.5.3 To connect the pressure relief valve to the drain" on page
28.
WARNING
All pipe work connected to the brine pressure relief
valve MUST have a continuous fall.
The discharge pipe from the brine pressure relief valve
MUST terminate in a safe, visible position without forming any risk to persons in the vicinity.
Air vents. Provide air vents at all high points of the system, which
must also be easily accessible for servicing. At the space heating side, an automatic air purge is provided in the indoor unit. Check that the air purge is 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 fluid circuit.
Because the unit's internal circuit uses copper piping, excessive corrosion may occur. Zn coated parts used in the brine circuit may lead to the precipitation of certain components in the anti-freeze fluids corrosion inhibitor.
WARNING
Due to presence of glycol, corrosion of the system is possible. Uninhibited glycol will turn acidic under the influence of oxygen. This process is accelerated by the presence of copper and high temperatures. The acidic uninhibited glycol attacks metal surfaces and forms galvanic corrosion cells that cause severe damage to the system. Therefore it is important that:
the water treatment is correctly executed by a qualified
water specialist,
a glycol with corrosion inhibitors is selected to
counteract acids formed by the oxidation of glycols,
no automotive glycol is used because their corrosion
inhibitors have a limited lifetime and contain silicates which can foul or plug the system,
galvanized pipes are NOT used in glycol systems since
the presence may lead to the precipitation of certain components in the glycol's corrosion inhibitor.
INFORMATION
Be aware of the hygroscopic property of anti-freeze fluids: it absorbs moisture from its environment. Leaving the cap off the anti-freeze fluid container causes the concentration of water to increase. The anti-freeze fluid concentration is then lower than assumed. And in consequence, freezing can happen after all.
Preventive actions MUST be taken to ensure minimal exposure of the anti-freeze fluid to air.
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 in the
space heating circuit, the maximum change-over time of the valve MUST be 60 seconds.
Filter. It is strongly recommended to install an additional filter on
the heating water circuit. Especially to remove metallic particles from foul heating piping, it is advised to use a magnetic or cyclone filter, which can remove small particles. Small particles may damage the unit and will NOT be removed by the standard filter of the heat pump system.
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 "8.3.2 Domestic hot
water control: advanced" on page 47.

6.3.2 Formula 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)
6.3.3 To check the water volume of the space heating circuit and brine circuit
The indoor unit has 2 expansion vessels of 10 litre, one for the space heating circuit and one for the brine circuit.
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.
You must check the total space heating water volume unit.
You must check the total brine water volume in the unit.
Minimum water volume
Check that the total water volume per circuit in the installation is minimum 20 litre, the internal water volume of the indoor unit NOT included.
INFORMATION
If a minimum heating load of 1 kW can be guaranteed and setting [9-04] is changed by the installer from 1 to 4°C, the minimum water volume can be lowered to 10 litre.
INFORMATION
In critical processes, or in rooms with a high heat load, extra water might be required.
NOTICE
When circulation in each space heating 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.

Maximum water volume
Use the following graphs to determine the maximum water volume for the calculated pre-pressure. For brine, this is dependent on the variation of brine temperature in the system. Example: throughout the year, the temperature of the brine can fluctuate between –7°C and 10°C, as in graph 1, or between 0°C and 10°C as in graph 2.

6.3.4 Changing the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel
NOTICE
Only a licensed installer may adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel.
When changing the default pre-pressure of the expansion vessel (1 bar) is required, take following guidelines into account:
Only use dry nitrogen to set the expansion vessel pre-pressure.
Inappropriate setting of the expansion vessel pre-pressure will
lead to malfunction of the system.
Changing the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel should be done by releasing or increasing nitrogen pressure through the schräder valve of the expansion vessel.

6.3.5 To 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 100 l.
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 300 l.
Actions:
Because the total water volume (300 l) is more than the default
water volume (280 l), the pre-pressure must be decreased.
The required pre-pressure is:
Pg = (0.3+(H/10)) bar = (0.3+(0/10)) bar=0.3 bar.
The corresponding maximum water volume at 0.3 bar is 350 l.
(See the graph in the chapter above).
Because 300 l is lower than 350 l, the expansion vessel is
appropriate for the installation.
