▪ In places where corrosive gas (example: sulphurous acid gas) is

produced. Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause the refrigerant to leak.

▪ In bathrooms.

▪ In places where frost is possible. The ambient temperature around

the indoor unit should be >5°C.

Total weight: 66kg

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:

If Then

A siphon tube is present

(i.e., the cylinder is marked with "Liquid filling siphon attached")

Charge with the cylinder upright.

1.2.3 Refrigerant

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

NOTICE

Make sure refrigerant piping installation complies with applicable legislation. In Europe, EN378 is the applicable standard.

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.

A siphon tube is NOT present Charge 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

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

NOTICE

Make sure water quality complies with EU directive 98/83EC.

Installer reference guide

1 General safety precautions

Avoid damages caused by deposits and corrosion. To prevent corrosion products and deposits, observe the applicable regulations of technology.

Measures for desalination, softening or hardness stabilization are necessary if the filling and top-up water have a high total hardness (>3 mmol/l–sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations, calculated as calcium carbonate).

Using filling water and top-up water which does NOT meet the stated quality requirements can cause a considerably reduced service life of the equipment. The responsibility for this is entirely that of the user.

1.2.5 Electrical

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 1minute,

and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before servicing. The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC 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 category III condition, shall 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 electric 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.

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 below.

▪ 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 1metre 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.

1.2.6 Gas

The gas boiler is factory‑set to:

▪ the type of gas quoted on the type identification plate or on the

setting type identification plate,

▪ the gas pressure quoted on the type identification plate.

Operate the unit ONLY with the gas type and gas pressure indicated on these type identification plates.

Installation and adaptation of the gas system MUST be conducted by:

▪ personnel qualified for this work,

▪ in compliance with valid gas installation related guidelines,

▪ in accordance with applicable regulations of the gas supply

company,

▪ In accordance with local and national regulations.

See "15.2 Dimensions and service space" on page 96 for more detailed information about spacing guidelines.

NOTICE

▪ Do NOT stack the units on each other.

▪ Do NOT hang the unit on a ceiling.

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.

6.4.1 Water circuit requirements

INFORMATION

Also read the precautions and requirements in the "General safety precautions" chapter.

▪ 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. 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 "15 Technical data"on page95 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

05 models 7l/min

08 models 8l/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 3bar. Provide

adequate safeguards in the water circuit to ensure that the maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.

▪ Water temperature – Heat pump convectors. In case heat

pump convectors are connected, the temperature of the water in the convectors should NOT exceed 65°C. If necessary, install a thermostatic controlled valve.

▪ Water temperature – Underfloor heating loops. In case

underfloor heating loops are connected, install a mixing station to prevent water that is too hot from entering the underfloor heating circuit.

▪ Water temperature. All installed piping and piping accessories

(valve, connections,…) MUST withstand the following temperatures:

▪ 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. Provide a proper drain for the

pressure relief valve to avoid water coming into contact with electrical parts.

▪ Air vents. Provide air vents at all high points of the system, which

must also be easily accessible for servicing. 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 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 – Separating circuits. When using a 3-way valve in the

water circuit make sure that the domestic hot water circuit and the floor heating circuit is fully separated.

▪ 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 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 recommended 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.

▪ Dirt separator – Old heating installations. In case of old heating

installations, it is recommended to use a dirt separator. Dirt or sediment from the heating installation can damage the unit and reduce its lifetime. The domestic hot water circuit can also be protected by a filter to prevent failure during domestic hot water operation.

6 Preparation

▪ 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 "Domestic hot water

control: advanced"on page65.

▪ Domestic hot water tank – 3rd party tank installation. When

installing a 3rd party tank, take following requirements into account:

▪ coil size should be ≥0.45m2,

▪ water piping is ≥3/4" to avoid high pressure drops,

▪ a sensor pocket is foreseen at a correct place (above the

heating coil). The tank sensor should not be in contact with water.

▪ maximum tank set point for a 3rd party tank is 60°C,

▪ in case of an electrical heater in the tank, make sure it is

installed correctly (above the heating coil). Refer to the installation manual of EKHY3PART for more information.

▪ 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.

6.4.4 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.

a Schräder valve

6.4.5 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 for either underfloor heating loops or radiators.

Example 2

The indoor unit is installed at the highest point in the water circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 350 l. Radiators are installed, so use the graph of 80°C.

Actions:

▪ Because the total water volume (350 l) is more than the default

water volume (140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 205 l.

(See the graph in the chapter above).

▪ Because 350 l is more than 205l, the expansion vessel is too

small for the installation. Therefore install an extra vessel outside the installation.

6.5 Preparing electrical wiring

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.

WARNING

▪ All wiring must be performed by an authorized

electrician and must comply with the applicable legislation.

▪ Make electrical connections to the fixed wiring.

▪ All components procured on the site and all electrical

construction must comply with the applicable legislation.

WARNING

ALWAYS use multicore cable for power supply cables.

6.5.2 About 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.

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.

The indoor unit is designed to receive an input signal by which the unit switches into forced off mode. At that moment, the gas boiler can still operate to provide heating, but the outdoor unit compressor will NOT operate.

Whether the power supply is interrupted or not, the wiring to the unit is different.

The following applies ONLY for the French market: "Bleu Ciel tarif"

In France there is a preferential kWh rate called "Bleu Ciel tarif". This rate divides the days of the year in:

▪ blue days (preferential electricity rate, ideal for heat pump

operation),

▪ white days (ideal for heat pump and hybrid operation),

▪ and red days (high electricity rate, boiler operation preferred).

It is recommended to use the preferential kWh rate power supply contact (4) to force boiler operation during red days. Note that sometimes it is required to set the meter on such that, it only closes the contact on red days. Please refer to the manual of the applicable meter.

The indoor unit and gas boiler are NOT compatible with other combinations of contacts (e.g., closed contacts on white/blue days). Connect the indoor unit and gas boiler as follows: see illustration in column "Power supply is NOT interrupted" in the table above.

7.6 Condensate pipe work

INFORMATION

The condensate discharge system MUST be made of plastic, no other materials may be used. The discharge duct MUST have a minimum gradient of 5~20 mm/m. Condensate discharge via the gutter is NOT allowed due to risk of frost and the possible damage to the materials.

7.6.1 Internal connections

If possible, the condensate drain pipe should be routed and terminated so that the condensate drains away from the boiler under gravity to a suitable internal foul water discharge point such as an internal soil and vent stack. A suitable permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used.

a Condensate discharge from boiler b Soil and vent stack c Minimum 450mm and up to 3 storeys

If the first option is NOT possible, an internal kitchen or bathroom

WARNING

▪ ALWAYS fill the condensate trap with water and place

it on the boiler before powering up the boiler. See illustration below.

▪ NOT placing or filling up the condensate trap may

cause flue gases to come into the installation room and can lead to dangerous situations!

▪ In order to place the condensate trap, the front cover

MUST be pulled forward or removed entirely.

NOTICE

It is recommended that any external condensate pipe is insulated and increased to Ø32mm in order to prevent the condensate from freezing.

Condensate pump

Where gravity discharge to an internal termination is NOT physically possible or where very long internal runs of drainage pipe would be required to reach a suitable discharge point, condensate should be removed by using a proprietary condensate pump (field supply).

The pump outlet pipe should discharge to a suitable internal foul water discharge point such as an internal soil and vent stack, internal kitchen, bathroom waste pipe, or washing machine waste pipe. A suitable permanent connection to the foul waste pipe should be used.

7.7.2 Precautions when connecting the refrigerant piping

INFORMATION

Also read the precautions and requirements in the following chapters:

▪ General safety precautions

▪ Preparation

DANGER: RISK OF BURNING

CAUTION

▪ Do NOT use mineral oil on flared part.

▪ Do NOT reuse piping from previous installations.

▪ NEVER install a drier to this R410A unit to guarantee

its lifetime. The drying material may dissolve and damage the system.

7.6.2 External connections

If an externally condensate drainage pipe is used, following measures should be made to prevent freezing:

▪ The pipe should be run internally as far as possible before going

to the outside. The pipe diameter should be increased to a minimum inner diameter of 30 mm (typically outer diameter of 32mm) before it goes through the wall.

▪ The external run should be kept as short as possible, taking the

most vertical route possible to the discharge point. Take into account that there are no horizontal section in which condensate might collect.

▪ The external pipe should be insulated. Use a suitable waterproof

and weather proof insulation ("ClassO" pipe insulation is suitable for this purpose).

▪ The use of fittings and elbows should be kept to a minimum. Any

internal burrs should be removed so that the internal pipe section is as smooth as possible.

mixed into the refrigerant cycle (e.g. air).

▪ Only use R410A when adding refrigerant.

▪ Only use installation tools (e.g. manifold gauge set) that

are exclusively used for R410A installations to withstand the pressure and to prevent foreign materials (e.g. mineral oils and moisture) from mixing into the system.

▪ Install the piping so that the flare is NOT subjected to

mechanical stress

▪ Protect the piping as described in the following table to

prevent dirt, liquid or dust from entering the piping.

▪ Use caution when passing copper tubes through walls

(see figure below).
