2 General
Cooling is disabled in the UK model to comply with
the regulations for RHI.
Heat pum p AirX is together with h eat pump module AirModule or Air box
part of a series of heating systems that use outside air to provide energy
for water transferred heat and hot water.
By reversing the process and extract heat from the water and release it
into the outdoor air, the heat pump can if needed produce cooling. This
however requires the heating system to be intended for cooling.
The heat pump outdoors is connected to a heat pump module indoors
and possibly also an external heat source, which constitutes a complete
heating system. The heat pump module with an integrated immersion
heater, or the external source, acts as a supplement when additional
heat is needed, for example if the outside temperature is too low for
effective heat pump operation.
The heating system is operated via a user interface, which is fo und in the
heat pump module. The user interface manages and supervises the
system with different settings for heat, cold, hot water and other
operations. The monitoring function will e.g. turn off the heat pump in
case of disturbances to avoid damage to vital components.
2.1 Control unit
The user interface in the heat pump module manages heat production
based on outside temperature sensors and possibly in combination with
a room controller (accessories). House heating is automatically adjusted
depending on the outside temperature.
The user determines the heating system temperature by setting the
desired room temperature in the user interface or on the room
controller.
A number of accessories can be connected to the heat pump module
(e.g. pool, sun, and room controllers), providing extra functions and
setting possibilities controlled via the user interface. You will find more
information on the accessories in their user guides.
2.2 Use
After the heat pump and the heat pump module have been installed and
taken into operation, some regular maintenance is required. This might
include checking on an alarm, or other simple maintenance. The user is
usually able to solve the problem, however if it remains, the retailer
should be contacted.

3 System overview
The heating system consists of two parts: the heat pump, which is
installed outdoors, and the heat pump module with or without integrated
hot water cylinder, which is installed indoors (AirModule and Airbox E).
Installation may be done using an external heat source, and the
supplemental heat source will then consist of an existing electric/gas/oil
boiler (Airbox S).
The most common heating systems are consistent with one of these
alternatives, however the system flexibility makes other combinations
possible.
3.1 Description of the functions
In a house with water based heating a difference is made between
heating water and domestic hot water (DHW). The heating water is for
radiators and floor coils and hot water is for showers and taps.
If there is a DHW cylinder in the system, the user interface will make sure
the heating of DHW is prioritised before heating of heating water for
optimised comfort.
3.1.1 Heat pump (outdoor unit)
The task of the heat pump is to retrieve energy from the outside air and
transfer it to the heat pump module.
The heat pump is inverter operated, which means that it will
automatically change the compressor speed to deliver the exact amount
of energy required at the moment. The fan is also RPM controlled and will
change its speed as needed. This provides the lowest possible energy
consumption.
Defrosting
Ice might form on the evaporator during lower outside temperatures. In
case there is enough ice to inhibit the air flow through the evaporator, an
automatic defrosting will start. As soon as the ice is gone, the heat pump
returns to its normal operation.
If the outside temperature is above +5°C the defrosting will be
performed alongside continued heat production, however if the
temperature is lower, the defrosting is done by ways of a 4-way valve
turning the heat medium direction in the circuit so that the hot gas from
the compressor melts away the ice.
Function principle
The heat production principle:
• The fan sucks up air through the evaporator.
• The energy in the air makes the refrigerant boil. The resulting gas is
drawn into the compressor.
• In the compressor, the pressure of the refrigerant is increased, and
the temperature rises. The hot gas is pushed into the condenser.
• In the condenser, the energy is transferred from the gas to water in the
heat transfer circuit. The gas is cooled down and turns into liquid.
• The pressure on the refrigerant is decreased and transferred back to
the evaporator. When the refrigerant passes the evaporator, it turns
back into gas.
• In the heat pump module, the energy is transferred from the heat
transfer circuit to the house heating system and hot water cylinder.
3.1.2 Heat pump module (indoor unit)
The heat pump module task is to distribute t he heat from the heat pump
to the heating system and the hot water cylinder. The circulation pump
in the heat pump module is RPM controlled, and will automatically
decrease in speed when demand is low. This decreases energy
consumption.
When the heating demand is higher during cold outdoor temperatures,
an additional heat source - a booster - may be required. This booster
heater is either integrated or external, an its on/off is controlled by the
user interface in the heat pump module. Please note that when the heat
pump is running, the booster heater will only provide the heating output
that the heat pump cannot produce itself. When the he at pu mp is able t o
provide all the heating needed, the booster is automatically turned off.
The heat pump stops around – 20 °C; heating and DHW
production is then taken over by the heat pump module
or a external heat source.

AirModule
Heat pump AirX connected to heat pump module AirModule provides a
complete installation for both heating and domestic hot water, since the
heat pump module contains a hot water cylinder. Switching between
heating and DHW is managed by an internal 3-way valve. The integrated
booster in the heat pump module will turn on if needed.
Fig. 1 Heat pump AirX, heat pump module AirModule with integrated hot water cylinder and immersion heater
Airbox E
When heat pump AirX is connected to heat pump module AirBox E, an
external hot water cylinder is required if the purpose of the heat pump is
also to produce hot water. In this case, switching between heating and
DHW is managed by an external 3-way valve. The integrated booster in
the heat pump module will turn on if needed.
Fig. 2 Heat pump AirX, heat pump module Airbox with immersion heater, external hot water cylinder
Airbox S
When heat pump AirX is connected to heat pump module AirBox S, an
external hot water cylinder is required if the purpose of the heat pump is
also to produce hot water. In this case, switching between heating and
DHW is managed by an external 3-way valve. The module contains a
mixing valve that regulates the heat from the external booster, which is
turned on when needed.

5 Maintenance
The heat pump requires a minimum of maintenance, however, some
servicing is still required to get optimal performance from your heat
pump. Check the following items a few times per year:
• Remove dirt and leaves
•Cover
• Evaporator
5.1 Remove dirt and leaves
▶ Use a brush to remove the dirt and leaves from the heat pump.
5.2 Protective covers
Over time dust and other dirt will collect on the heat pump.
▶ If required, wipe the cover with a damp cloth.
▶ Scratches and damage to the outer cover should be treated with rust
protection.
▶ The lacquer can be protected with car wax.
5.3 Evaporator
If a film has formed (e.g. dust or dirt) on the evaporator surface, it must
be removed.
To clean the evaporator:
▶ Spray the evaporator fins with the cleaning product on the back of the
heat pump.
▶ Rinse off dirt and the cleaning product with water.
5.4 Snow and ice
In some geographical regions or during periods of heavy snow, snow can
get stuck on the back of the heat pump.
▶ Carefully brush the snow off the fins.
5.5 Moisture
Moisture might develop under the heat pump (outdoors) due to
condensation not collected by the condensate pan. This is normal and
does not require any action.
5.6 Checking the safety valves
▶ Check the DHW safety valve by pressing the valve lever.
▶ Check that the safety valve leakage drain hose is not plugged.
5.7 Particle filter
Check the heating system and collector system particle filters
The filters will prevent dirt from entering the heat pump. Operating
problems might occur if these are blocked.
Cleaning the strainer
▶ Close the valve (1).
▶ Screw off the hood (by hand), (2).
▶ Take out the strainer and clean it by running water over it.
▶ Put the strainer back; it has rails that fit into the groove in the valve to
avoid incorrect installation (3).
Fig. 5 Filter version without circlip
▶ Screw back the hood (by hand).
▶ Open the valve (4).
DANGER: The heat pump is connected to high current.
▶ Break the power supply before rectifying.
Using the wrong cleaning product may damage the
installation!
▶ Do not use acid or chlorine based products since they
contain abrasives.
WARNING: The thin aluminium fins are fragile and can
be damaged if careless. Never wipe the delicate fins with
a cloth.
▶ Use protective gloves to protect your hands from
cuts.
▶ Do not use a too powerful water jet.
NOTICE: If you often find moisture near the heat pump
module or the fan convector, this might indicate gaps in
the condensation insulation.
▶ Turn off the heat pump and contact your retailer of
you find moisture surrounding one of the heat system
components.
The safety valve should be checked by a qualified
engineer - usually as part of an annual service visit.
Water is expelled from the safety valve during heat-up.
Never close the safety valve.
It is not necessary to empty the installation in order to
clean the filters. Filter and shut-off valve are integrated.

6 Connection for IP-module
The heat pump module AirModule has a built in IP-module, which is
available as an accessory to the AirBox. The IP-module may be used to
manage and monitor the heat pump module and the heat pump from a
mobile unit. It is used as an interface between the heating system and a
network (LAN) and enables the SmartGrid function.
Commissioning
The router must be configured as follows:
• DHCP enabled
• Ports 5222 and 5223 may not be blocked from outgoing traffic.
• Free IP address available
• The address filter (MAC filter) must not filter out the module.
During commissioning of the IP-module, the following is possible:
• Internet
The module automatically obtains an IP address from the router. The
name and address of the target server are stored in the standard
settings of the module. As soon as an internet connection is
established, the module automatically logs on to the server.
• Local network
The module must not be connected to the internet. It can also be used
in a local network. In this case, however, the module cannot be
reached via the internet, and the module software cannot
automatically update.
• The app IVT AnyWare
When the app is opened for the first time, the predefined login name
and password must be entered. The login information can be found on
the IP-module data plate.
•SmartGrid
The heat pump module can communicate with the electricity market
and will in this case adjust operation so that the heat pump operates
at its maximum when the cost of electricity is lower. See the website
for further information.

all of equal importance to us and all environmental protection legislation
and regulations are strictly observed.
We use the best possible technology and materials for protecting the
environment taking account of economic considerations.
Packaging
We participate in the recycling programmes of the countries in which our
products are sold to ensure optimum recycling.
All of our packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can
be recycled.
Used appliances
Used appliances contain valuable materials that should be recycled.
The various assemblies can be easily dismantled and synthetic materials
are marked accordingly. Assemblies can therefore be sorted by
composition and passed on for recycling or disposal.
Use of all the functions requires an internet connection
and a router with an available RJ45 output. This may
incur additional costs. Managing the installation from a
cell phone requires the free app IVT Anywhere.
Please refer to the router documentation during
commissioning.

Heat pump
The central heat source. Placed outdoors, also referred to as an outside
unit. Contains the cooling circuit. Waterborne heating or cooling is
transferred from the heat pump to the heat pump module.
Heat pump module
Placed indoors and distributes the heat from the heat pump to the
heating system or the water heater. Contains the user interface and the
circulation pump for the water to the heat pump.
Heating installation
Includes the entire installation, with heat pump, heat pump module,
water heater, heating system and accessories.
Heating system
Comprises the heat source, cylinders, radiators, underfloor heating
system or fan convector or a combination of these if the heating system
has several heating circuits.
Heating circuit
The part of the heating system that distributes heat to different rooms.
Consists of pipework, circulation pump and either radiators, underfloor
heating system loops or fan convectors. Only one of these alternatives is
possible in one circuit, but if there are e.g. two circuits in the heating
system, then one may comprise radiators and the other underfloor
heating system loops. A heating circuit can be installed with or without a
mixing valve.
Heating circuit without mixing valve
A heating circuit without mixing valve does not contain a mixer; the
temperature on the circuit is maintained completely b y th e he at f rom th e
heat source.
Heating circuit with mixing valve
A heating circuit with mixing valve contains a mixer, which mixes in the
closed circuit water with the water from the heat pump. This means that
the heating circuit with mixing valve can maintain a lower temperature
than the rest of the heating system, which may be used to separate
underfloor heating system loops that use a lower temperature from
radiators that operate at a higher temperature.
Mixing valve
The mixing valve is a valve that seamlessly mixes cooler closed circuit
water with water from the heat source to reach the desired temperature.
The mixing valve may be placed in a heating circuit or in a heat pump
module as an external booster mixer.
3-way valve
The 3-way valve distributes heat either to the heating circuits or to the
water heater. The valve has two fixed modes, hence the heating and
DHW production cannot occur simultaneously. This provides for the
most effective operation, since DHW is always heated to a specific
temperature, while the heating water temperature is adjusted
continuously according to current outdoor temperature.
External booster heater
The external booster is a separate heat source, which is connected to the
heat pump module with pipework. The heating from the booster is
regulated via a mixing valve, and is therefore also called a mixing valve
booster. The user interface manages the booster on/off based on the
current heating requirements. The heat source is either an electric, oil or
gas boiler.
Heat transfer circuit
The part of the heating system that transfers heat from the heat pump to
the heat pump module.
Cooling circuit
Cooling is disabled in the UK model to comply with
the regulations for RHI.
The main part of the heat pump, which retrieve energy from outside air
and transfers it as heat to the heat transfer circuit. Consists of
evaporator, compressor, condenser and expansion valve. The
refrigerant circulates in the cooling circuit.
Evaporator
A heat exchanger between air and refrigerant. The energy in the air,
which is sucked up through the evaporator makes the refrigerant boil
and turn into gas.
Compressor
Makes the refrigerant circulate in the coolant circuit, from the
evaporator to the condenser and back. Increases the gaseous
refrigerant pressure. When the pressure increases, the temperature
increases too.
Condenser
Is a heat exchanger between the refrigerant in the cooling circuit and the
water in the heat transfer circuit. When heat is transferred, the
refrigerant temperature decreases as it is condensed into a liquid.
Expansion valve
Decreases the refrigerant pressure when it comes from the condenser.
The refrigerant is then transferred back to the evaporator, where the
process starts over.
Inverter
Is found in the heat pump and enables RPM control of the compressor
according to current heating requirements.
Setback phase
A time slot during automatic mode, with Setback operating mode.
Automatic mode
The heating system is heating in accordance with the time program and
an automatic changeover takes place between operating modes.
Operating mode
The operating modes for heating are: Heating and Setback. These are
indicated by the symbols and .
The operating modes for water heating are: DHW, DHW reduced and
Off.
It is possible to set a temperature for each operating mode (except Off).
Frost protection
Depending on the selected frost protection, the heat pump will turn on
when the outside and/or room temperature reaches below a certain set
threshold. Frost protection prevents the heating system from freezing
up.
Required room temperature (also desired or set temperature/set
room temp.)
The room temperature to be achieved by the heating system. It can be
set individually.
Default setting
Values permanently saved in the programming unit (e.g. complete time
programs) that are available at any time and that can be reinstated
according to demand.
Heating phase
A time slot during automatic mode, with Heating operating mode.

Child lock
The standard display settings and in the menu can only be modified if the
child lock (key lock) has been disabled ( page 8).
Mixing device
Assembly that automatically ensures that hot water can be drawn from
the taps at a temperature no higher than the temperature set on the
mixer.
Optimised operation
Automatic mode (the heating time program) is not active during
optimized operation, instead the system is continuously heating
according to the temperature set for optimized operation.
Reference room
The reference room is the room in the home where a room unit has been
installed. The room temperature in this room acts as the control variable
for the assigned heating circuit.
Switching time
A certain time at which the heating system starts to heat or hot water is
produced, for example. A switching time is a component of a time
program.
Temperature of an operating mode
A temperature that is assigned to an operating mode. The temperature is
adjustable. See the explanations on operating mode.
Flow temperature
Temperature at which the heated water flows in the central heating
system from the heat source to the heating surfaces in the rooms.
Hot water cylinder
A hot water cylinder stores large volumes of heated tap DHW. Thereby,
sufficient DHW is available at the draw-off points (e.g. taps). This is a
prerequisite for longer hot showers.
Time program for the heating system
This time program ensures automatic changeover between operating
modes at defined switching times.
