General
Usage Range
The heat pump is designed only for
heating as well as generating service
water.
The heat pump can be utilized in newly
installed or existing heating systems
by complying with the usage limits as
defined by the AQUATOP planning
document.
E
Setup
The heat pumps can be set up on a
smooth, level, and plane surface
without the need of a base or pedestal.
The installation room must be dry and
frost-free. Rooms with much humidity
such as laundry rooms, etc. are not
very suitable for installing the heat
pump. The min. clearances must be
adhered with for all equipment to
ensure access in case of maintenance
and control tasks.
Function Principle of the
Brine-Wat er/Water-Wat er Heat Pump
The heat pump converts the heat
contained in the soil or rock
(groundwater) with a low temperature
into heat with a higher temperature.
This is achieved by routing the brine
liquid through a heat exchanger in the
soil (groundwater) and a pump to the
evaporator. The liquid working medium
in the evaporator boils and evaporates
at a low temperature and low pressure.
The evaporation heat required is drawn
from the brine liquid and returned to
the heat exchanger.
The evaporated working medium is
suctioned by the compressor and
compressed to a higher pressure.
The compressed, gaseous working
medium is fed to the condenser where
it is condensed at a high pressure and
high temperature.
The condensation heat is transferred
to the heating water and the temperature of that water increases.
The energy transferred to the heating
water corresponds with the energy
previously extracted from the soil
(groundwater) plus the small amount
of electrical energy required for
compressing the working medium.
Energy-Saving Use of the Heat
Pump System
Your decision to obtain a heat pump
heating system is an important contribution to saving the environment by
having lower emissions and reduce
your primary energy use.
Please observe the following points to
ensure your new heating system
functions efficiently:
L
The heat pump heating system must
be carefully dimensioned and installed.
L
Avoid unnecessarily high flow temperatures. The lower the flow temperature
on the heating side the more efficient
the heat pump is working. Make sure
the controller is set correctly and
properly.
L
Rush airing (several windows open at
once for short period) is to be preferred
over continuously leaving a small gap
open. Rush airing reduces the energy
consumption.

Receiving Inspection
General Information
These operating instructions serve the
correct installation, adjustment, and
maintenance of the equipment.
The following information must therefore be read carefully and the heat
pump must be installed, inspected, and
maintained by correspondingly trained
technicians.
The manufacturer is not liable for
mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical
modifications after the warranty
expires. The warranty becomes null
and void in case of not explicitly
authorized actions carried out contrary
to or in violation of these operating
instructions.
All applicable safety standards must
be observed during installation. Check
whether the properties of the power
supply system match those of the heat
pump (type plate).
These operating instructions and the
electrical scheme (diagram) of the heat
pump must be stored carefully and
made available to the operating personnel if needed.
E
The manufacturer is not liable for personal injury or property damage, direct
or indirect, caused by noncompliance
with these instructions.
The equipment may be opened only
by qualified personnel.
Legal Guidelines and Rules
All guidelines based on CE standards
were observed during design and
manufacture of the heat pump.
(See CE Conformity Declaration.)
Compliance with the corresponding
SEV, EN, and IEC standards is
required for the electrical connection
of the heat pump. The connection
specifications of the local utility or
electric company must be complied
with as well.
E
Explanations Concerning Our
Warranty Terms
Our warranty does not cover damages
caused by or due to the following
reasons:
- Unsuitable or improper use or
operation,

incorrect initial startup by buyer
or third parties
- Installation of third party parts
- Operating the equipment under
overpressure or in excess of the
specifications indicated by the
factory
- Noncompliance with the notes
and information of the operating
instructions
The heat pumps have a warranty
period of 24 months after the day of
delivery. The sales, delivery, and
warranty terms and conditions according to the order confirmation apply
in all other instances.
Receiving Inspection
The equipment is shipped on a
wooden pallet and a corresponding
protective cover.
The equipment must be checked for
completeness and transport damage
upon receipt.
E
If damages are detected, the corresponding damage must be noted
immediately on the shipping document
and identified with the following
phrase: "Conditional acceptance due
to obvious damage."

Installation and Connection Instructions
Transport and Setup
Transport
Before every transport, make sure the
lifting or transport equipment has the
lifting power needed to transport the
respective equipment weight. All of the
tasks described here must be carried
out based on the relevant safety
standards. This applies to tasks associated with the equipment as well as
the process or procedure of each task
itself.
Transport with Forklifts, Lifting
Platform or Similar Equipment
Insert forks lengthwise under the
wooden pallet.
When lifting, make sure the weight is
equally distributed. Never tilt the heat
pump beyond max. 30
º
(in any direction)
when transporting it. Avoid exposing
the heat pump to any type of moisture
or humidity.
(Also applies to setup and installation!)
Never stack objects on the heat pump or
hang up wet clothes over it.
Setup
The heat pump is designed to be set
up in an interior location (IPXO, i.e.
only dry rooms). The base frame must
be set up on a smooth, level, and plane
surface.
The heat pump must be setup in a way
that allows servicing the pump without
access problems. This is ensured
when complying with the wall
clearances depicted below.
Control station
Plan view with min. clearances
After moving the unit to the installation
location, remove the transport
protection and safety elements and
attach the vibration dampening rubber
pads included with the equipment into
the now exposed threaded openings
at the bottom of the unit.
These pads are also adjustable to
ensure the heat pump is level.

Hydraulic Connections
After the unit is placed into position,
make sure to check for visible damage.
Properly dispose off the packaging
material.
Transport safety device
The flexible connection tubes and
hoses included in the delivery scope
are attached to the rear of the
AQUATOP TC.
The heating and the heat reclamation

Heater-Side Connection
Two different basic concepts exist:
a) Direct connection, without buffer storage, comply with min. circulating water volume requirement
The coil area of the service water storage
must be adjusted to the heat pump capacity.
b) Indirect connection, with buffer for hydraulic decoupling
The coil area of the service
water storage must be
adjusted to the heat pump
capacity.

Installation and Connection Instructions
Condensate and Safety Line
The condensate line and the safety
line of the heating side must be installed
freely visible and at an incline towards
the building drainage system.
L
The safety line of the heat reclamation
side (heat gain with brine) must be
installed freely visible and at an incline,
leading into a suitable collection
container.
14
Electrical Connection
General
E
Compliance with the corresponding SEV,
EN, IEC, as well as the corresponding
VDE standards is required for the
electrical connection of the heat pump.
The connection specifications of the
local utility or electric company must be
complied with as well.
E
The power supply to the equipment must
be interrupted before each electrical
connection or service or maintenance
work. The upper cover on the equipment
must be removed for the electrical
connection. This requires unscrewing
four hexagonal screws on the rear
upper cover plate of the unit and removing the cover by pulling towards
the top.
The power supply is carried out via the
inlet of the cable connection at the rear
side of the heat pump. All other necessary control connections such as flow
monitor, frost protection, thermostat,
and temperature sensor are also at the
rear of the heat pump.
E
Power Supply to the Switchbox
The power supply for the heat pump
must feature
a main switch or all-pole
cut-off switch with a contact distance
of at least 3 mm, as well as a 3-pole
circuit breaker with shared trigger for all
outer conductors. See technical data or
type plate on rear of heat pump for the
tripping current! The power cables must
have a cross-section that meets the
equipment output as well as locally
applicable rules and standards.
