2Important information/Safety regulations
Warning! Risk of personal injury! Children are not permitted to play with the product.
Warning! As the water temperature in DHP-H Opti Pro and DHP-L Opti Pro becomes extremely hot, a
mixer valve must be installed between the cold water and hot water pipes to ensure a lower domestic hot
water temperature.Alternatively the maximum hot water temperature must be reduced in the Service
menu.
Warning! Danfoss SP (1-phase) heat pumps have a factory installed safety valve for temperature and
pressure, (10 bar 90-95°C), in accordance with the requirements in Great Britain. This valve is located in the
water tank and may not be used for any purpose other than connecting the outlet pipe.
Also note that for heat pump DHP-H Opti Pro SP and DHP-L Opti Pro SP it is imperative that the hot water
temperature is changed from default setting 95°C to 85°C.
Caution! The heat pump must be installed by authorised installation engineers and the installation must
follow the applicable local rules and regulations as well as these installation instructions.
Caution! This product is not intended for persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
psychological capacity, or who do not have knowledge or experience, unless supervised or they have
received instructions on how the apparatus functions from a safety qualified person.
Caution! The heat pump must be located in a frost-free environment!
Caution! The heat pump must be placed in an area with a floor drain.
Caution! The heat pump must be located on a stable base. The floor must be able to support the gross
weight of the heat pump with filled hot water tank (see Technical data).
Caution! To prevent leaks, ensure that there are no stresses in the connecting pipes!
Caution! It is important that the heating system is bled after installation.
Caution! Bleed valves must be installed where necessary.
6 – Installation instructions VMBMA1002
Caution! The hot water tank must be equipped with an approved safety valve.
Caution! Heating systems with closed expansion tanks must also be supplied with approved pressure
gauges and safety valves.
Caution! Cold and hot water pipes and overflow pipes from safety valves must be made of heat resistant
and corrosion-resistant material, e.g. copper. The safety valve overflow pipes must have an open
connection to the drain and visibly flow into this in a frost-free environment.
Caution! The connecting pipe between the expansion tank and the safety valve must slope continuously
upwards. A continuous upwards slope means that the pipe must not slope downwards from the
horizontal at any point.
Note! If there is any risk of groundwater infiltration at wall lead-ins for brine pipes, watertight grommets
must be used.
Note! In addition to applicable local rules and regulations the installation should be carried out in a
manner that prevents vibrations from the heat pump being transmitted into the house causing noise.
2.1Refrigerant
Caution! Work on the refrigerant circuit must only be carried out by a certified engineer!
Although the heat pump cooling system (refrigerant circuit) is filled with a chlorine-free and environmentallyapproved refrigerant that will not affect the ozone layer, work on this system may only be carried out by authorized persons.
2.1.1Fire risk
The refrigerant is not combustible or explosive in normal conditions.
2.1.2Toxicity
In normal use and normal conditions the refrigerant has low toxicity. However, although the toxicity of the refrigerant is low, it can cause injury (or be highly dangerous) in abnormal circumstances or where deliberately abused.
Warning! Risk of personal injury! Spaces in which heavy vapour can collect below the level of the air must
be well ventilated.
Refrigerant vapour is heavier than air and, in enclosed spaces below the level of a door for example, and in the
event of leakage, concentrations can arise with a resultant risk of suffocation due to a lack of oxygen.
Installation instructions VMBMA1002 – 7
Warning! Risk of personal injury! Refrigerant exposed to a naked flame creates a poisonous irritating gas.
This gas can be detected by its odour even at concentrations below its permitted levels. Evacuate the area
until it has been sufficiently ventilated.
2.1.3Work on the refrigerant circuit
Caution! When repairing the refrigerant circuit, the refrigerant must not be released from the heat pump,
it must treated in the appropriate way.
Draining and refilling must only be carried out using new refrigerant (for the amount and type of refrigerant see
manufacturer’s plate) through the service valves.
Caution! All warranties from Danfoss are void if, when filling with refrigerant other than Danfoss A/S
specified refrigerant, if there has not been written notification that the new refrigerant is an approved
replacement refrigerant together with other remedies.
2.1.4Scrapping
Caution! When the heat pump is to be scrapped the refrigerant must be extracted for disposal. Local rules
and regulations related to the disposal of refrigerant must be followed.
2.2Electrical connection
Caution! Electrical installation may only be carried out by an authorized electrician and must follow
applicable local and national regulations.
Caution! The electrical installation must be carried out using permanently routed cables. It must be
possible to isolate the power supply using an all-pole circuit breaker with a minimum contact gap of 3
mm. (The maximum load for externally connected units is 2A).
DANGER! Hazardous electrical voltage! The terminal blocks are live and can be highly dangerous due to
the risk of electric shock. All power supplies must be isolated before electrical installation is started. The
heat pump is connected internally at the factory, for this reason electrical installation consists mainly of
the connection of the power supply.
2.3Commissioning
Caution! The installation may only be commissioned if the heating system and brine system have been
filled and bled. Otherwise the circulation pumps can be damaged.
8 – Installation instructions VMBMA1002
Caution! If the installation is only to be driven by an auxiliary heater during the installation, ensure that
the heating system is filled and the brine pump and compressor cannot be started. This is carried out by
setting the operating mode to AUX. HEATER.

4Transport, unpacking and setting-up
4.1Transporting the heat pump
Caution! During transportation or lifting of the entire heat pump, the front panel must always be installed
as it locks the other panels construction.
Caution! The heat pump must always be transported and stored in a dry area. Secure the heat pump so
that it cannot tip over during transportation.
When transporting indoors to the installation location it may be necessary to place the heat pump on its back. The
time that the heat pump is transported on its back should be as short as possible. After the heat pump has been
lifted up again it must stand upright for at least an hour before commissioning.
4.2Unpacking heat pump
4.2.1Delivery check
1.Check that there is no transport damage. The heat pump is packaged in cardboard.
2.Remove the packaging and check that the delivery contains the following components.

4.3Setting-up the heat pump
4.3.1Recommended location
Part number4-10 kW12-16 kW
Caution! To avoid condensation problems for the brine lines, as short a brine line as possible is
recommended indoors.
The heat pump should be located on a stable floor, preferably made of concrete. When locating the heat pump on
a wooden floor this should be reinforced to take the weight of the heat pump including a filled water heater, see
technical data for relevant heat pump. One solution is to place a thick metal plate, at least 6mm, under the heat
pump. The metal plate should cover several joists spreading the weight of the heat pump over a larger area. If the
heat pump is being installed in a newly-built house, this has normally been taken into account during construction, and the joists where the heat pump will be located have been reinforced. Always check that this has been
carried out when installing into a newly-built house.

Avoid positioning the heat pump in a corner as the surrounding walls may amplify its noise. It is also important to
adjust the heat pump using the adjustable feet so that it is horizontal to the base.
4.3.2Space requirement
Caution! The heat pump must not be enclosed as the temperature inside the cabinet becomes extremely
high.
To facilitate the installation and subsequent testing and maintenance there must be sufficient free space around
the heat pump in accordance with the following image:
4.3.3Setting up
Note! The heat pump has feet that can be adjusted to compensate for irregularities in the surface on
which it is sitting. If the surface is so irregular that the feet cannot compensate for it, the installation
engineer must remedy this.
Note! It is recommended that the condensation drain is installed from the drip tray’s drain pipe by lying
the heat pump down. The drain pipe opens through a hole in the base plate and has a Ø10 mm hose
connection.
Note! If the heat pump has been laid down it is recommended that it stands upright for at least an hour
before commissioning.

5Piping installation
Warning! As the water temperature in DHP-H Opti Pro and DHP-L Opti Pro becomes extremely hot, a
mixer valve must be installed between the cold water and hot water pipes to ensure a lower domestic hot
water temperature.Alternatively the maximum hot water temperature must be reduced in the Service
menu.
Warning! Danfoss SP (1-phase) heat pumps have a factory installed safety valve for temperature and
pressure, (10 bar 90-95°C), in accordance with the requirements in Great Britain. This valve is located in the
water tank and may not be used for any purpose other than connecting the outlet pipe.
Also note that for heat pump DHP-H Opti Pro SP and DHP-L Opti Pro SP it is imperative that the hot water
temperature is changed from default setting 95°C to 85°C.
Caution! Piping installation must be carried out in accordance with applicable local rules and regulations.
The hot water tank must be equipped with an approved safety valve.
Caution! To prevent leaks, ensure that there are no stresses in the connecting pipes!
Caution! It is important that the heating system is bled after installation. Bleed valves must be installed
where necessary.
Note! Ensure that the pipe installation is carried out in accordance with the dimensions and connection
diagrams.
Note! Configure the heat pump for the desired system solution in the SERVICE\ADD. HEATER\EXTERNAL
ADDITION menu.
5.1Safety valves
Caution! Radiator systems with a closed expansion tank must also be equipped with an approved
pressure gauge and safety valve, minimum DN 20, 1.5 bar opening pressure, or according to country
specific requirements.
Caution! Cold and hot water pipes and overflow pipes from safety valves must be made of heat resistant
and corrosion-resistant material, e.g. copper. The safety valve overflow pipes must have an open
connection to the drain and visibly flow into this in a frost-free environment.
Caution! The connecting pipe between the expansion tank and the safety valve must slope continuously
upwards. A continuous upwards slope means that the pipe must not slope downwards from the
horizontal at any point.

5.2Connection heat transfer fluid
5.2.1System solution 1
In system solution 1 the heat pump can produce both heating and hot water with the compressor and the integrated auxiliary heater. Production of heating and hot water cannot occur at the same time because the exchange
valve for heating/hot water is positioned after the auxiliary heater.
The integrated auxiliary heater carries out peak heating charging (antilegionella function) in those operating
modes that permit auxiliary heat.
For system solution 1, select the factory setting in menu SERVICE\AUX. HEATER\EXTERNAL ADDITION:

In system solution 2, the heat pump can produce both heat and hot water and an external auxiliary heater (oil
boiler, electric boiler, district heating or similar) supports heat production but not hot water production. The
exchange valve for heating/hot water is located ahead of the external auxiliary heater, which allows the production of heating and hot water at the same time.
The integrated auxiliary heater can be used for heating and hot water production as well as for antilegionella. The
values of the integrals, A2 and A3 are used to select if the external auxiliary heater is to step in before or after the
integrated electrical auxiliary heater.
The heat pump control computer also controls an additional shunt located after the external addition.

5.2.3System solution 3
In system solution 3, the heat pump can produce both heat and hot water and an external auxiliary heater (oil
boiler, district heating or similar) supports heat and hot water production and can support antilegionella. The
exchange valve for heating/hot water is located after the external auxiliary heater, which prevents the production
of heating and hot water at the same time.
The integrated auxiliary heater can be used for heating and hot water production as well as for antilegionella.
The parameter "TOPH.AUX” is used to determine if the external or internal auxiliary heater produces antilegionella.
The values of the integrals, A2 and A3 are used to select if the external auxiliary heater is to step in before or after
the integrated electrical auxiliary heater.
The heat pump control computer also controls an additional shunt located after the external addition.

4Sealant
Figure 32.Making holes
1.Drill holes in the wall for the insert pipes (1) for the brine pipes. Follow the dimension and connection diagrams. If there is any risk of groundwater infiltration at brine pipe lead-ins, watertight grommets must be
used.
2.Position the insert pipes (1) in the holes sloping downwards. The inclination must be at least 1cm every
30cm. Cut them at an angle (as illustrated) so that rain water cannot get into the pipes.
3.Insert the brine pipes (2) into the insert pipes in the installation room.
4.Fill in the holes around the lines with mortar (3).
5.Ensure that the brine pipes (2) are centred in the insert pipes (1) so that the insulation is distributed equally
on all sides.
6.Seal the insert pipes (1) with a suitable sealant (foam) (4).
5.3.6Installing brine pipes
1.Determine to which side the brine pipes are to be connected.
2.Route the out pipe for brine in through the corresponding hole (with rubber collar) in the heat pump side.
3.Install all necessary components on the pipe. Remember to install the filler cock with the filter cover
upwards.
4.Route the pipe for brine out through the corresponding hole (with rubber collar) in the heat pump side.
Caution! When the brine lines are connected to the right for DHP-A, the brine out line must be routed
over the brine pump, under the compressor’s vacuum pipe and under the condenser’s flexible hose, see
figure below.
Installation instructions VMBMA1002 – 35
Figure 33.The brine's supply line
1.Install the out pipe with all the accompanying components.
2.Install the expansion tank with the safety valve.
3.Fit both brine pipes with anti-diffusion insulation running all the way from the heat pump to the lead-in in
the wall. The brine pipes running outside the house to the collector can be buried, however they must be
well insulated.
Caution! Applies to DHP-A:Bear in mind that the outdoor unit may move during defrosts, use
flexible hoses to connect the pipes from the heat pump and pipes on the outdoor unit.
5.3.7Connection to outdoor unit
Connection for the brine circuit from the heat pump to the outdoor unit can be carried out using pipes or hoses.
Depending on what connection is selected and what diameter the connection has, there is a maximum length that
the connection may be. The maximum lengths in the table below are based on ethylene glycol (which is mixed to
anti-freeze protection down to -32±1°C) at 0°C.

5.4Noise information
5.4.1Flexible hoses
Caution! The press sleeves may never be used as a counterhold when tightening connections.
All pipes should be routed in such a way that vibrations cannot be transmitted from the heat pump through the
piping and out into the building. This also applies to the expansion pipe. We recommend that flexible hoses are
36 – Installation instructions VMBMA1002
used for all pipe connections to avoid the transmission of vibrations. Flexible hoses are available to purchase as
accessories. The figures below show how appropriate and inappropriate installations look using this type of hose.
To avoid noise caused by pipe mounting, a rubber-coated pipe clamp should be used to prevent the transmission
of vibrations. However, installation should not be too rigid and the pipe clamp must not be too tight.
Figure 34.Do not twist the flexible hoses as they are installed. At threaded connections, use a counterhold spanner

6Electrical Installation
DANGER! Electrical voltage! The terminal blocks are live and can be highly dangerous due to the risk of
electric shock. All power supplies must be isolated before electrical installation is started. The heat pump
is connected internally at the factory, for this reason electrical installation consists mainly of the
connection of the power supply.
Caution! Electrical installation may only be carried out by an authorized electrician and must follow
applicable local and national regulations.
Caution! The electrical installation must be carried out using permanently routed cables. It must be
possible to isolate the power supply using an all-pole circuit breaker with a minimum contact gap of 3
mm. (The maximum load for externally connected units is 2A).

Menu description regards software with version 1.3.
The heat pump has an integrated control system which automatically calculates the heat demand in the house to
ensure that the correct amount of heat is produced and emitted where necessary.
The control panel is operated using a keypad and information is shown in a display and by an indicator.
Note! The information in the display and menus will vary depending on the heat pump model and
connected accessories.

10.7Commissioning
10.7.1Starting circulation pumps manually
If any of the circulation pumps do not start, it may need to be helped as follows:
Figure 47.Location of the bleed screw
Caution! When bleeding the circulation pumps, water can come into contact with electrical components.
Therefore, protect the electric panel against water.
1.Open and remove the bleed screw on the front of the pump. Ensure to catch the water that runs out when
the screw is removed.
2.Insert a flat blade screwdriver and turn it in the direction of rotation of the pump (clockwise).
3.Reinstall the bleed screw with its rubber seal.
10.7.2Adaptation to the heating system
Adjust the heat pump settings to the applicable heating system, for instance an underfloor heating or radiator
system. The delta temperature must be at least 8°C above the heat pump. The delta temperature should be 3–5°C
for the brine system. If one of the ΔT is not reached, the flow of the circulation pumps may need adjusting depending on the applicable heating system.
Installation instructions VMBMA1002 – 69
10.7.2.1 Noise check
During transportation and installation there is a certain risk that the heat pump can be damaged, components
may move or get bent and this can cause noise. Because of this it is important to check the heat pump when it has
been installed and is ready to be commissioned to ensure that everything is in order. The heat pump should be
tested in both heating and hot water modes to ensure that there is no abnormal noise. While doing this, check
that there is no abnormal noise in other parts of the house.
Noise is produced from the outdoor unit when the fan is in operation, check during that manual operation that
there is no disturbance in your own home as well as to any neighbours. A noise kit is available for purchase for the
outdoor unit for DHP-A 10 and 12 if it is necessary to reduce the noise.
10.7.2.2 Select operating mode
Set the heat pump to the desired operating mode in the menu INFORMATION -> OPERAT. If necessary, set certain
parameters in the control system, such as ROOM and CURVE.
10.7.3Installing the front cover
Caution! Take care not to damage the front cover or display cables!
1.Hook on the lower edge of the front cover.
2.Carefully press the front cover’s upper edge towards the heat pump.
3.Turn the catch in the top panel 90 degrees clockwise.
10.7.4After start up
Note! Remember that it takes time for the heat pump to heat a cold house. It is best to let the heat pump
work at its own pace and NOT raise or alter any values in the control system to try to heat it up more
rapidly.
Caution! If there is an alarm in conjunction with commissioning it usually means that there is air in the
system.
10.8Trimming the heating system
To obtain a heating system balance and obtain an even and comfortable indoor temperature, you must adjust
your heating system according to the example below.
Note! Adjust the heating system during the winter to obtain the greatest possible output.
Note! Trimming must be carried out over a few days as the inertia in the heating system causes the indoor
temperature to change slowly.
1.Choose one of the house’s rooms as a reference room for the indoor temperature, where the highest temperature is required, 20-21°C.
2.Place a thermometer in the room.
3.Open all the heating system’s radiator valves fully.
4.Leave the heat pump’s ROOM value set at 20°C. See Setting ROOM values for more information.
5.Note the temperature in the reference room at different points in time over a 24 hour period.
70 – Installation instructions VMBMA1002
6.Adjust the ROOM value so that the reference room reaches your required indoor temperature of 20-21°C.
Remember that other rooms will have different temperatures during trimming, but these are adjusted later.
7.If the ROOM value must be adjusted more than 3°C upwards or downwards the CURVE value must be adjusted instead. See Adjusting CURVE values for more information.
8.If the indoor temperature varies several degrees despite trimming, a specific part of the heat curve may
need adjusting. Check at what outdoor temperature the variation is greatest and adjust the curve at the
corresponding value (CURVE 5, CURVE 0, CURVE -5). See Adjusting a specific part of the heat curve for more
information.
9.When the reference room has an even temperature of 20-21°C over a 24 hour period, you can adjust the
radiator valves in the other rooms so that their indoor temperatures are the same temperature or lower
than the reference room.
10.9Customer information
After commissioning is complete, the customer must be informed about their new heat pump installation. Below
is a checklist regarding the information that the installer must give the customer:
