TYPE C: controlled by consent switch (e.g. on-o switch, ambient thermostat, timer, etc.).
4.1 START UP AND SHUT DOWN
Ecient operation and long life of the appliance depend largely on its correct use!
Before activating the appliance, check that:
▶
the gas valve is open;
▶
the appliance is powered electrically: the general electrical switch (GS) must be in the «ON» position;
▶
power supply to the CCP/DDC (if provided) is on;
▶
the installation technician has ensured that the hydraulic circuit is supplied in the correct conditions.
If these conditions are satised, it is possible to proceed with activation.
TYPE A: APPLIANCE CONNECTED TO COMFORT CONTROL PANEL (CCP)
If the appliance is connected to a Comfort Control Panel (see detail CCP in Figure 6.3p.31) it is switched on and controlled by the
Comfort Control Panel. In this case, refer to the manual supplied with it.
The appliance must never normally be switched on and o by shutting o the power supply upstream of the Comfort
Control Panel before having used the latter rst and waited for the shutdown cycle to end (approximately 7 minutes). The
shutdown cycle terminates when the hydraulic pump switches o (no parts in motion).
Shutting o the power supply while the appliance is running can cause permanent damages to internal components!
TYPE B: APPLIANCE CONNECTED TO A DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROLLER (DDC)
If the appliance is connected to a Direct Digital Controller (see Figure 6.4p.32) and the DDC is in controller mode, activation and
control of the appliance will occur exclusively by operating the DDC. In this case, refer to the manual supplied with it.
The appliance must never normally be switched on and o by shutting o the power supply upstream of the DDC before
having used the latter rst and waited for the shut down cycle to end (approximately 7 minutes). The shutdown cycle terminates when the hydraulic pump switches o (no parts in motion).
Shutting o the power supply while the appliance is running can cause permanent damages to internal components!
TYPE C: STANDALONE APPLIANCE
Stand alone appliances must be activated and deactivated only by means of the consent switch provided by the electrical installation technician.
According to requirements, this consent switch may be an on/o button, an ambient thermostat, a programmable timer, or one or
more voltage free contacts controlled by another process. For details about the type of on/o command installed, contact the plant’s
electrical installation technician.
The appliance must never normally be switched on and o by shutting o the power supply upstream of the Controle
Device (CCP, DDC or consent switch) before having used the latter rst and waited for the shutdown cycle to end (approximately 7 minutes). The shutdown cycle terminates when the hydraulic pump switches o (no parts in motion).
Shutting o the power supply while the appliance is running can cause permanent damages to internal components!
Start up
Switch on the appliance by means of the on/o command (placing it in the "ON" position).
Shut down
Switch o the appliance via the on/o command (placing it in the "OFF" position).
The shutdown cycle takes approximately 7 minutes to complete.
The on/o command is essential! Do not switch the appliance on or o by connecting it to or disconnecting it from the
power supply directly, as this may be a source of danger and in any case damage the appliance or the plants connected to it.
Visualising and clearing of operating codes
Operating codes can be generated:
4 NORMAL OPERATION
Installation, user and maintenance manual – LCGHP/LSGHP

▶
by the S61 on-board controller;
▶
by the CCP/DDC (if present).
The operating codes generated by the S61 controller are displayed on its screen and can also be viewed on the CCI (if present) or
DDC (if present).
Operating codes generated by the controller can be cleared through the board itself or from the CCI/DDC (if tted and allowed).
For a description of the operating codes generated by the electronic board and how to reset them, refer to the list of operating codes contained in Table 8.1p.60.
The controller (see Figure 6.1p.29) is located inside the electrical panel of the appliance and the display may be viewed
through the viewing hole on the front panel of the unit itself.
The Machine Codes generated by the CCI/DDC may only be viewed on the display of the CCI/DDC and may be cleared only
through the CCI/DDC.
For the operating codes generated by the CCP/DDC, refer to the manuals supplied with the unit.
Operating codes generated by the electronic board during the start-up of the appliance
If the appliance remains inactive for a prolonged period, it is possible that air is present in the gas pipes. In this case, activation fails
and the appliance reports the operating code: "u_12" - ame controller arrest (temporary) (see Paragraph 8.1p.60) and after a
brief interval the appliance automatically launches the start up procedure again. If code (u_12) is signalled 4 times on successive
activation attempts, the code persists, the appliance locks out the ame controller and displays the following operating code: "E_12"
– ame controller arrest (see Paragraph 8.1p.60). In this case reset is not automatic.
To restore operation of the appliance, carry out a reset of the ame control unit via menu 2 of the controller: the procedure is illustrated in Paragraph 4.3p.17. After it is reset, the appliance will make a new attempt to activate.
If the appliance locks out several times, contact a TAC.
When activation is successful, the appliance is managed by the on-board controller (see following paragraph).
4.2 ONBOARD ELECTRONICS
The following descriptions refer to the S61 controller with rmware version 3.026.
The appliance is tted with an S61 microprocessor controller with Mod10 modulation controller mounted above it (see Figure
4.1p.15).
The S61 controller, in the electrical panel, controls the appliance and displays data, messages and operating codes.
Programming, control and monitoring of the appliance take place by interacting with the display A and knob B shown in Figure
4.1p.15. The CAN-BUS port connects one or several appliances to the CCP (if present) or a DDC (if present).

4.4 OPERATING SETTINGS
The operations described require basic knowledge of the plant installed and of the S61 controller tted to the appliance; before
proceeding, you must acquire this informa tion, Paragraph 4.2p.15.
At the moment of installation, the appliance is set up by the installation technician for best operation according to the type
of plant installed. Subsequently it is possible to modify the operating parameters, but this is not recommended if not in possession of the necessary knowledge and experience in order to do so. In any case, to set new operating parameters for the
appliance see Paragraph 5.8p.27.
4.5 PROLONGED PERIODS OF DISUSE
When the appliance is to be inactive for a long period, it is necessary to disconnect the appliance before the period of disuse and
reconnect it before it is used again.
To carry out these operations, contact a reputable hydraulic system installation technician.
Disconnecting the appliance
You will need: the appliance connected to the power/gas supply. Necessary equip ment and materials.
1. If the appliance is in operation, switch it o with the CCP (if present) or DDC (if present), or the consent switch and wait for the
shutdown cycle to terminate completely (approximately 7 minutes).
2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, putting the external disconnection switch in the OFF position (see GS in
Figure 6.7p.35) provided in the appropriate panel by the installation technician.
3. Close the gas valve.
Do not leave the appliance connected to power and gas supply if it is expected to remain inactive for a long period.
If you wish to disconnect the appliance during the winter, one of the following two conditions must be met:
1. make sure that the hydraulic plant connected to the appliance contains an adequate percentage of glycol antifreeze (see Paragraph 5.6p.25 and Table 5.3p.26);
2. activate the antifreeze function, which runs the circulation pumps and the appliance when water temperature is below 4°C or
in case the outdoor temperature is lower than 2 °C. To do this, contact your installer. This function requires the appliance to be
ALWAYS powered up (electricity and gas) and power failures excluded. Otherwise the manufacturer declines all contractual
and extra-contractual liability for consequent damage.
Connecting the appliance before it is used again (to be carried out by the instal ler)
Before starting this procedure, the hydraulic system installation technician must:
4 NORMAL OPERATION
Installation, user and maintenance manual – LCGHP/LSGHP
19
▶
ascertain whether the appliance requires any maintenance operations (contact your authorised Technical Assistance Centre or
consult Paragraph 7.2p.57);
▶
check that the water content of the plant is correct; if necessary, top up the circuit to at least the minimum quantity (see Paragraph 5.6p.25);
▶
if necessary add, to the water of the system (free of impurities), inhibited monoethylene glycol antifreeze in a quantity in proportion to the MINIMUM winter temperature in the area of installation (see Table 5.3p.26);
▶
bring the plant to the correct pressure, making sure that the pressure of the water in the plant is not less than 1 bar and not over
2 bar;
In case of winter saesonal switch-o or long period of stopping, we suggest to not empty the hydraulic circuit: in that case
possible oxidation process can occur.This oxidation process could damage both the hydraulic system and also the Lochinvar
heat pump.It’s important to verify that no leakages occur in the hydraulic circuit that may empty part of the system. The
above recommendation is necessary in order to avoid to ll continuously with water that may imply the additional introduction of oxygen and the consequent dilution of the used inhibitor, for ex glycol. In case of precence of glycol, Lochinvar
advices to use inhibited glycol. Galvanized pipes are not recommended, as they are not compatible with glycol.
You will need: the appliance disconnected from the electricity/gas supply
1. open the plant gas supply valve to the appliance and make sure that there is no smell of gas (indicating possible leaks);
if you smell gas, close the gas valve again immediately without operating any other electrical device and, from a safe place,
request the assistance of professionally qualied personnel.
2. If no smell of gas is detected, connect the appliance to the electricity supply mains via the external circuit breaker provided
by the installation technician in the appropriate panel (set the "GS" circuit breaker to the "ON" position, see Figure 6.7p.35);
3. power up the CCP (if present) or DDC (if present);
4. check that the hydraulic circuit is charged;
5. Check that the condensate discharge is clean;
6. check that exhaust duct is not obstructed;
7. switch on the appliance by means of the on/o command (or DDC if present and in control mode, or via CCP, if present).
5 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
20
5 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
In this section you will nd all the instructions necessary for the hydraulic installation.
Before realizing hydraulic system and gas supply for the appliance, the professionally qualied personnel is advised to read
Paragraph 3.1p.7, providing important recommendations about safety and references to current regulations.
5.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION PRINCIPLES
Prior to installation, carry out careful internal cleaning of all pipes and every other component to be used both on the hydraulic system and on the fuel supply, in order to remove any debris that may compromise the operation of the appliance.
Installation of the appliance must be carried out in compliance with current regulations regarding design, installation and maintenance of heating and cooling plants and must be undertaken by professionally qualied personnel in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
During the installation stage, observe the following indications:
▶
Check that there is an adequate mains gas supply, in accordance with the manufacturer’s specications; see Table 5.2p.24 for
the correct supply pressures.
▶
The appliance must be installed outdoors, located in an area in which air circulates naturally and which does not require any
particular protection from the weather. In no case must the appliance be installed inside a room.
▶
The front of the appliance must have a minimum clearance of 80 cm from walls or other xed constructions; the right and left
sides must have a minimum clearance of 45 cm; the minimum rear clearance from walls is 60 cm. (see Figure 5.2p.22).
▶
No obstruction or overhanging structure (roofs, eaves, balconies, ledges, trees) shall interfere either with the exhaust air owing
from the top of the appliance or with the exhaust ue gas.
▶
The appliance must be installed in such a way that the exhaust ue gas outlet is not in proximity of any external air inlet of a
building. Respect current regulations regarding the exhaust ue gas outlet.
▶
Do not install the appliance close to ues, chimneys or other similar structures, in order to prevent hot or polluted air from being
drawn by the fan through the condenser. In order to function correctly the appliance must use clean air from the environment.
▶
If the appliance is installed near buildings, make sure it is not on the dripping line from gutters or similar.
▶
Fit a gas cock on the gas supply line.
▶
Fit antivibration joints on the hydraulic connections.
5.2 POSITION OF THE APPLIANCE
Lifting the appliance and placing it in position
Do not remove packaging during handling on the installation site.
Packing must only be removed upon nal installation.
If the appliance has to be lifted, pass slings into the openings in the base supports and use spreader bars to prevent the slings from
damaging the casing during handling (see Figure 5.1p.21).
The lifting crane and all accessory devices (braces, cables, bars) must be suitable sized for the load to be lifted. For the weight
of the appliance, consult Table 3.1p.9 or Table 3.2p.10.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage that occurs during the installation of the appliance.
5 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
Installation, user and maintenance manual – LCGHP/LSGHP
21
Figure 5.1 – Instruction for lifting
The appliance can be installed at ground level, on a terrace or on a roof (if compatible with its “dimensions” and “weight”).
The dimensions and weight of the appliance are given in Table 3.1p.9 or Table 3.2p.10.
MOUNTING BASE
Always place the appliance on a levelled at surface made of reproof material and able to support the weight of the appliance.
In addition, provide a small “containing” step that will prevent water from spreading during possible winter defrosting phases.
During winter operation, the appliance (depending on temperature and humidity conditions of the outdoor air) can carry
out defrosting cycles melting the layer of frost/ice on the coil.
Take this possibility into consideration, adopting appropriate measures (for example: a“containing” step and channelling of water
into a suitable drain) in order to prevent "uncontrolled" spread of water around the appliance and the consequent risk that a layer of
ice will form (with the danger of falls on the part of passing people).
The manufacturer may not be held responsible for any damage arising from failure to observe this warning.
Installation at ground level
If a horizontal support base is unavailable (see also "SUPPORTS and LEVELLING" below), it is necessary to create a at level base in
concrete which is larger than the dimensions of the base of the appliance by at least 100-150 mm on each side.
The dimensions of the appliance are given in Table 3.1p.9 or Table 3.2p.10.
Provide a “containing” step and a suitable drainage channel for the water.
Installation on a terrace or roof
Position the appliance on a levelled at surface made of reproof material (see also "SUPPORTS and LEVELLING" below).
The structure of the building must support the total weight of the appliance and the supporting base.
The weight of the appliance is given in Table 3.1p.9 or Table 3.2p.10.
Create a “containing” step and a suitable drainage channel for the water, providing a gangway around the appliance for maintenance
purposes.
Although the appliance produces only moderate vibrations, the use of anti-vibration supports is especially recommended in rooftop
and terrace installations in which resonance phenomena may occur.
Moreover, it is advisable to use exible connections (anti-vibration joints) between the appliance and the hydraulic and gas supply
pipes.
Avoid placing the appliance on the roof directly above locals requiring quietness.
