1 Safety and user notes

1.1 General safety notes

Carefully read the operating manual before com­missioning the units for the first time. It contains useful tips and notes such as hazard warnings to prevent personal injury and material damage. Failure to follow the directions in this manual not only presents a danger to people, the environment and the system itself, but will void any claims for liability.
Keep this operating manual and the refrigerant data sheet near to the units.

Identification of notes

1.2
This section provides an overview of all important safety aspects for proper protection of people and safe and fault-free operation.The instructions and safety notes contained within this manual must be observed in order to prevent accidents, personal injury and material damage.
Notes attached directly to the units must be observed in their entirety and be kept in a fully legible condition.
Safety notes in this manual are indicated by sym­bols. Safety notes are introduced with signal words which help to highlight the magnitude of the danger in question.
DANGER!
Contact with live parts poses an immediate danger of death due to electric shock. Damage to the insulation or individual components may pose a danger of death.
CAUTION!
This combination of symbol and signal word warns of a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided may cause injury or mate­rial and environmental damage.
NOTICE!
This combination of symbol and signal word warns of a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided may cause material and environmental damage.
This symbol highlights useful tips and recom­mendations as well as information for efficient and fault-free operation.

1.3 Personnel qualifications

Personnel responsible for commissioning, opera­tion, maintenance, inspection and installation must be able to demonstrate that they hold a qualifica­tion which proves their ability to undertake the work.
Dangers of failure to observe
1.4 the safety notes
Failure to observe the safety notes may pose a risk to people, the environment and the units. Failure to observe the safety notes may void any claims for

REMKO CMF/CMT

1.6 Safety notes for the operator

The operational safety of the units and compo­nents is only assured providing they are used as intended and in a fully assembled state.
n The units and components may only be set up,
installed and maintained by qualified per­sonnel.
n Protective covers (grille) over moving parts
must not be removed from units that are in operation.
n Do not operate units or components with
obvious defects or signs of damage.
n Contact with certain unit parts or components
may lead to burns or injury.
n The units and components must not be
exposed to any mechanical load, extreme levels of humidity or extreme temperature.
n Spaces in which refrigerant can leak sufficient
to load and vent. Otherwise there is danger of suffocation.
n All housing parts and device openings, e.g. air
inlets and outlets, must be free from foreign objects, fluids or gases.
n The units must be inspected by a service tech-
nician at least once annually. Visual inspec­tions and cleaning may be performed by the operator when the units are disconnected from the mains.

1.7 Safety notes for installation, maintenance and inspection

n The units and components must be kept at an
adequate distance from flammable, explosive, combustible, abrasive and dirty areas or atmospheres.
n Safety devices must not be altered or
bypassed.
Unauthorised modification and
1.8 changes
Modifications or changes to units and components are not permitted and may cause malfunctions. Safety devices may not be modified or bypassed. Original replacement parts and accessories authorised by the manufactured ensure safety. The use of other parts may invalidate liability for resulting consequences.

Intended use

1.9
Depending on the model, the equipment and the additional fittings with which it is equipped is only intended to be used as an air-conditioner for the purpose of cooling or heating the air in an enclosed room.
Any different or additional use shall be classed as non-intended use. The manufacturer/supplier assumes no liability for damages arising from such use. The user bears the sole risk in such cases. Intended use also includes working in accordance with the operating and installation instructions and complying with the maintenance requirements.
n Appropriate hazard prevention measures must
be taken to prevent risks to people when per­forming installation, repair, maintenance or cleaning work on the units.
n The setup, connection and operation of the
units and its components must be undertaken in accordance with the usage and operating conditions stipulated in this manual and comply with all applicable regional regulations.
n Local regulations and laws such as Water
Ecology Act must be observed.
n The power supply should be adapted to the
requirements of the units.
n Units may only be mounted at the points pro-
vided for this purpose at the factory. The units may only be secured or mounted on stable structures, walls or floors.
n Mobile units must be set up securely on suit-
able surfaces and in an upright position. Sta­tionary units must be permanently installed for operation.
n The units and components should not be oper-
ated in areas where there is a heightened risk of damage. Observe the minimum clearances.
Under no circumstances should the threshold values specified in the technical data be exceeded.

1.10 Warranty

For warranty claims to be considered, it is essential that the ordering party or its representative com­plete and return the "certificate of warranty" to REMKO GmbH & Co. KG at the time when the units are purchased and commissioned.
The warranty conditions are detailed in the "Gen­eral business and delivery conditions". Further­more, only the parties to a contract can conclude special agreements beyond these conditions. In this case, contact your contractual partner in the first instance.

Economical and environmentally-conscious heating
The burning of fossil-based energy sources in order to generate power creates severe conse­quences for the environment. A high percentage of fossil fuels is also problematic due to the limited resources of oil and gas and the price increases resulting from this. For this reason, many people today are thinking both economically and environ­mentally-consciously in terms of heating. The application of heat pump technology enables both of these concepts to be combined. It makes use of the energy which is permanently available in the air, water and soil and converts it into usable heating energy by means of inputting electrical energy. Yet in order to generate heat equivalent to
Heat source
There are essentially three heat sources that heat pumps can derive energy from. air, soil and groundwater. Air heat pumps have the advantage that air as a source heat is available everywhere in
unlimited quantities that can be used free of charge. A disadvantage is that the outside air is at
its coldest when the heat requirement is greatest.
Brine heat pumps extract energy from the soil. This is undertaken in serpentine pipe networks which are laid approx. 1m deep or placed by means of drilling. The disadvantage is the large space requirements for the serpentine pipe networks or the high cost of drilling. A long-term cooling of the soil is also a possibility.
4kWh, only 1kWh of electricity is required. The rest is made available free-of-charge by the environ­ment.

Water heat pumps require two wells in order to obtain heat from the groundwater, one supply well and one dry well. The development of this source is not possible everywhere, it is expensive and requires planning permission.
Function of the heat pump
A heat pump is a device which makes use of a working medium to absorb ambient heat under low temperatures and transports this heat to a place where it can be of use for heating purposes. Heat pumps work according to the same principles as a refrigerator. The difference is that heat, the by­product of the refrigerator, is the goal of the heat pump.
The main components of the cooling circuit consist of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve. In a finned evaporator, the refrigerant evaporates both because of lower pressure and because of lower heat-source tem­peratures through absorption of energy from the environment. In the compressor, the refrigerant is
brought to a higher pressure and temperature by the application of electrical energy. Next, the hot refrigerant gas reaches the condenser, a plate heat-exchanger. Here the hot gas condenses, transferring heat to the heating system. The lique­fied refrigerant then expands and cools in a flow regulator, the expansion valve. Then the refrig­erant flows into the evaporator once more and the cycle is complete.
For control, a heat-pump manager is included which ensures the independent operation of all safety devices. The water-circulation system of the Series CMF consists of a charging pump, plate heat-exchangers, dirt traps, a manometer, fill- and drain valves, an automatic air-bleeder and flow monitor.
The CMT series has, in addition, a 3-way switching valve and a buffer storage.
Wall- and floor consoles, condensate pans, con­densate-pan heating, a 3-way switching valve, a bypass valve and other sensors are available as accessories.

Heat pump modes
Heat pumps can work in various operating modes.
Monovalent
The heat pump the only source of heat for a building all year round. This mode is particularly suitable for heating plants with low supply-water temperatures and is primarily used in combination with brine/water and water/water heat pumps.
Single energy source
The heat pump has an E-heater to handle peak loads. The heat pump covers the majority of the required heating power. Occasionally, when it is extremely cold outside, an electrical booster­heating system switches on as required in order to support the heat pump.
Bivalent parallel
The heat pump provides the entire heating energy down to a predetermined outdoor temperature. If the temperature drops below this value, a second heat source switches on to support the heat pump. There is a distinction to be made here between
alternative operation with oil- or gas heat and regenerative operations with solar energy or
wood-fired heating. This mode is possible for all heating systems.
Layout
A precise calculation of the building's heating load according to EN 12831 is required for the design and dimensioning of a heating system. However, approximate requirements can be determined based on the year of construction and the type of building. The table shows the approximate specific heating loads for a number of building types. The required heating system output can be calculated by multiplying the area to be heated with the given values
For a precise calculation, various factors must be considered. The transmission-heat requirement, the infiltration heat-loss and an allowance for water heating comprise the total heating output which the heating system must provide.
The total area of the floor surfaces, exterior wall windows, doors and roofing is required in order to determine the transmission heat requirement. In addition, information about the materials used in the building is required, as these lead to extremely
varied thermal transmission coefficients (the so called K value). Also required are the room tem­perature and the standard outdoor temperature, that is, the lowest outdoor-temperature on average that will occur during the year. The equation for calculating the transmission-heat requirement is Q=A x U x (tR-tA) and must be calculated sepa-
rately for all room-enclosure surfaces.
The infiltration heat requirement takes into consid­eration how often the heated room air is exchanged for cold external air. The room volume (V), the air exchange frequency (n) and the spe­cific heat capacity (c) of the air is also required in addition to the room temperature and average low temperature. The equation is: Q=V x n x c (tR-tA).
An approximate allowance for heating water - per person according to VDI 2067: 0.2 kW
Example
A residential home comprised of 115 m² living­space and a heat requirement of 100 W/m² has been selected for the example design. A total of five persons live in the house. The heat load amount to 11.5 kW. Adding a drinking water allow­ance of 0.2 kW results in a required heat capacity of 12.5 kW. Depending on the power company, an additional charge must then be made in order to factor in the service time-out period. The rating and determination of the heat pump's balance-point temperature derives graphically from the heat pump's temperature-specification heat-output dia­gram. (In the example, 35 °C for a floor heating­system). Next, the heat load for the standard out­door temperature (the lowest temperature of the year locally) and the heat threshold are marked on the graph (Fig. 27). The outdoor-temperature­dependent heating requirement, simplified here as a straight-line relationship between heat-load and the start of the heating season, is recorded in the graph of heat-load curves. The intersection of the two straight lines with the rated heat-load curve is plotted on the X axis, where the balance-point tem­perature is read. (in the example, ca.-3°C) The least load of the 2nd heat source is the difference between heat load and the heat pump's maximum heat output on these days. (In the example, the capacity necessary to cover peak loads is ca. 4 kW.)

Characteristics of REMKO inverter heat pumps
Outdoor air as a heat source
An air/water heat pump absorbs energy from the outdoor air as its heat source and transmits this to the heating system. They have the following advantages over brine/water and water/water heat pump systems:
n Can be used everywhere Air is available every-
where in unlimited quantities. For example, no wells are required.
n No excavation required. No large areas are
required for soil collectors.
n Economical. Expensive drilling is not required. n Excellent value for money and simple installa-
tion.
n Particularly suitable for low-energy houses with
low inlet temperatures.
n Ideal for bivalent operation, in order to save
energy.

Split AC unit
The Remko inverter heat pump is a so called split AC unit. This means that it consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, both of which are con­nected via refrigerant-carrying copper pipes. Thus there are no water-carrying pipes laid from the indoors to outdoors which need to be made frost proof. The outdoor unit contains only the con­denser, the evaporator and the expansion valve. This means that the outdoor unit is considerably smaller. The indoor module contains the system's condenser and the connections for the heating net­work.
REMKO inverter technology
The heat pump's condenser is equipped with a requirement-dependent speed control system. The power control on conventional heat pumps pro­vides only two states, either ON (full output) or OFF (no output). The heat pump turns on below a
specified temperature and turns off when this tem­perature is reached. This kind of heat regulation is very inefficient. Heat regulation in the Remko inverter heat pump is modulated to the actual need. The electronics system has an integrated frequency-converter which serves to modify the condenser speed and the speed of the blower as required. The condenser works at a higher speed when under full load than under partial load. The lower speeds ensure a longer operational lifetime for the components, improved coefficient of per­formance and lower noise. Lower speeds also result in lower energy consumption (electricity) and longer service life. I.e.: inverter heat-pumps will run practically throughout the heating season. In all, the highest efficiency possible.

REMKO CMF/CMT
Thanks to innovative inverter technology, this heat pump will almost always operate by adapting its heating capacity to the actual requirements of the heating season, and will in fact turn itself off when heat is no longer needed. The same applies in the opposite direction with cooling.
Defrost by circulation reversal
At temperatures below about +5°C, humidity freezes in the evaporator (outdoor module) and an ice layer can form which reduces heat transfer from the air to the refrigerant and to the air stream. This layer of ice must be removed. A four-way valve serves to reverse the refrigerant circuit, so that the hot gas from the compressor flows through the original evaporator and the ice that has formed there can melt. The defrost process is not initiated after a predetermined time; rather it is carried out as required in order to save energy.
Cooling mode
Because of circuit reversal, cooling is also pos­sible. In cooling mode, the components of the refrigeration circuit are used to produce cold water with which heat can be extracted from a building. This can be accomplished with dynamic cooling or passive cooling.
Under dynamic cooling the refrigerating capacity is actively transferred to the indoor air. This is undertaken by means of water-based REMKO fan convectors. In doing so, it is desirable that the inlet temperatures are under the dewpoint, in order to transfer a higher refrigerating capacity and to dehumidify the indoor air.
Passive cooling refers to the absorption of heat via cooled floors, walls or ceiling surfaces. In doing so, water-carrying pipes make the structural sec­tions into thermically effective heat exchangers. In order to achieve this, the refrigerant temperature has to lie above the dew point, in order to avoid the formation of condensation. Dewpoint monitoring is required for this purpose.
We recommend dynamic cooling with fan convec­tors, in order to achieve increased thermal per­formance and in order to dehumidify the air on muggy summer days. The advantage here is that dewpoint monitoring is not required.
The comfort zone in the illustration below shows which values for temperature and humidity are considered comfortable for people. This range should ideally be met when heating or air-condi­tioning buildings.

3.2 CMF series

We offer two different indoor-unit designs. The wall-mounted CMF series is equipped with a circu­lation pump and a safety module on the water side. Furthermore, an electrical booster heater can be incorporated as an option. The CMF series was constructed for the addition of several heat sources (bivalent installations or systems with solar-heating equipment). External buffer storage is always required, its size depending on the type and the power of the second heat source. On the one hand, the buffer storage prevents short run­times for the heat pump and on the other hand, that sufficient defrosting energy is available.

3.3 CMT series

In addition, the indoor module of the CMT series is fitted with a hot-water buffer storage. An electric booster heater with a max. output of 9 kW is standard. The hot-water buffer-storage has a capacity of 160 litres and is integrated as a hydraulic switch. As a result, the CMT series is the ideal equipment when the heat pump is intended as the sole heat source (single energy-source ope­ration). A heating circuit pump must be mounted on site.

4.4 Installation, mounting outdoor module

Outdoor module installation location
n The device may be attached only to a load-
bearing structure or wall. Ensure that the out­door module is installed only vertically. The installation site should be well ventilated.
n To minimise noise, install floor consoles with
vibration dampers and a considerable distance from acoustically-reflective walls to minimise noise.
n The minimum clearances specified on the next
page should be maintained when carrying out the installation. These minimum distances serve to ensure unrestricted air intake and exhaust. Additionally, there must be adequate space available for installation, maintenance and repair.
n If the outdoor module is erected in an area of
strong winds, then the device must be pro­tected against them (Fig. 37). The snow line is to be observed during installation (
n The outdoor module must always be installed
on vibration dampers. Vibration dampers pre­vent the transmission of vibrations through the floor or walls.
n A heated, condensate catch-pan ensures that
condensation from the pan can drain off. Ensure that the condensate is prevented from freezing so that it can drain off (gravel, drainage). The Water Ecology Act is to be observed.
n If there is insufficient space under the device
for the refrigerant lines, then the pre-cut recesses can be removed from the lateral enclosure-panel and the pipes guided through these openings.
n During installation, add about 20 cm to the
expected snow depth to guarantee unimpeded intake and exhaust of outdoor air year round (Fig. 38).
n The installation site of the outdoor module
should be agreed together with the operator primarily so that operating noise is minimised and not in terms of “short routes”. Thanks to the split-design technology there are a great deal of different installation options with almost identical efficiency available.

If the temperature falls below the dew point, con­densation will form on the finned condenser during heating operation.
A condensate drip pan should be installed on the underside of the unit to drain any condensate.
n The condensate drain pipe to be installed on-
site must be installed with a in cline of at least 2 % for good drainage. If necessary, fit vapour density insulation.
n When operating the system at outdoor temper-
atures below 4 °C, care must be taken that the condensate line is frost protected. The lower part of the housing and condensate pan are to be kept frost free in order to ensure permanent drainage of the condensate. If necessary, fit supplementary pipe heating.
n After completed installation, check that the
condensate drainage is unobstructed and ensure that the line is leak tight.

Ensured discharge in the event of leakage
With the REMKO oil separator OA 2.2, the below listed requirements of local regulations and laws are met.
NOTICE!
Local regulations or environmental laws, for example the German Water Resource Law (WHG), can require suitable precautions to protect against uncontrolled draining in case of leakage to provide for safe disposal of escaping refrigerator oil or hazardous media.

5 Hydraulic connection

A separate interpretation of nominal flow rate must be made for every system (see technical data).
n We recommend installing a buffer storage unit
as a hydraulic switch for hydraulically isolation of the heating circuit.
n Make a pipe-network calculation before instal-
ling the heat pump. After installing the heat pump, it is necessary to perform a hydraulic balancing of the heating circuit.
n Protect floor heating systems against exces-
sively high inlet temperatures.
n Do not reduce pipe diameters for the supply
and return connections to the heat pump before connecting a buffer storage-unit.
n Plan for air bleed valves and drain-off taps at
appropriate places.
n Flush the the system's entire pipe network
before connecting the heat pump.
n One or, where necessary, several expansion
tanks must be designed for the entire hydraulic system.
n The system pressure of the entire pipe network
is to be matched to the hydraulic system and must be checked when the heat pump is turned off. Also update the static-pressure form supplied with the heat pump.
n As delivered, the safety assembly consists of a
manometer, air bleeder and safety valve. It is to be mounted to the pipe connection provided on the indoor unit.
Fig. 42: Safety assembly
1: Manometer 2: Automatic bleeder 3: Safety valve 4: Indoor unit
n The stop cocks supplied are to be positioned
directly at the connections for the heat pump for the heater circuit inlet and return lines. The shut-off valves each contain a thermometer.
Fig. 43: Shut-off valves
Turning the thermometer heads serves to close or open the stop valves! The dial be brought into the desired position.
n Install the dirt traps delivered with the unit out-
side the heat pump in the return line. Ensure that the dirt trap remains accessible for inspec­tion.
n Be sure to position one gate valve upstream
and another downstream of the dirt traps. This ensures that the dirt traps can be checked at any time without loosing water.
n The dirt traps must be checked during every
service of the system.
n Additionally, a hand-operated bleeder is
installed on the heat pump for additional bleeding.
n All visible metallic surfaces must be addition-
ally insulated.
n Cooling mode via the heating circuit requires a
completely vapour diffusion tight insulation along the entire length of the pipework.
n All outgoing heating circuits, including the con-
nections for water heating, are to be secured against circulating water by means of check valves.
n Before being placed in service, the system
must be thoroughly flushed. Conduct a seal test and perform a thorough bleeding of both the indoor unit and the entire system - repeat­edly, if necessary.
Actual schemas for hydraulic integration can be found on the internet at www.remko.de
n The heat pump requires a constant, minimum
standing-water volume of ca. 10 litres per kW of heating output to guarantee power for defrosting and to assure a minimum running time. Buffer storage unit.

6 Corrosion protection

Oxygen always plays a role if metal materials in a heating system corrode. pH values and the salt content also play a major role. The challenge: A licenced plumber who would like to be able to guarantee his cus­tomers a hot water heating system not at risk of corrosion from oxygen - without the use of chemicals - must pay attention to the following:
n Correct system design by the heating contractor/planner and n subject to the installed materials: filling the heating system with demineralised softwater or fully deionised
water, checking the pH value after 8 to 12 weeks.
See the following table for the requirements in accordance with VDI 2035 Part 1 with regard to total hard­ness.
Total hardness [°dH] subject to the specific system volume
Overall output in kW <20 l/kW ³20 l/kW and <50 l/kW ³50 l/kW

Adding chemicals to treat water should only be done as an exception. VDI 2035 Part 2 requires explicitly under Point 8.4.1 that all water treatment be explained and documented in the system log book. This has reasons:
μS/cm < 100 100-1500
n The improper use of chemicals often leads to
the failure of elastomer materials
n To blockages and deposits because of sludge
formation
n To defective floating seals in pumps n To the formation of biofilm which can cause
microbial influenced corrosion or significantly impair heat transfer.

7 Connection of refrig-
erant lines

7.1 Connection of refrigerant lines

n The outdoor- and the indoor units are con-
nected with two copper pipes of refrigerator quality having the dimensions 3/8" = 9,52 mm and 5/8" = 15,88 mm (REMKO special acces­sory).
n Observe the permitted bending radius for the
refrigerant pipes during installation in order to prevent kinks. Never bend a pipe twice in the same place in order to prevent embrittlement or crack formation.
n Assure suitable fastening and insulation when
laying the refrigerant pipes.
n The copper pipes are to be flared to make the
connections to the units. In doing so, check that the flare has the correct shape and suit­able union nuts. (Fig. 44
to Fig. 46).

n Remove the cover panel from the outdoor unit
if necessary. It may be necessary to remove the pre-cut bushings.
n Take off the factory-fitted protective caps. You
can use the union nuts for additional mounting. Make sure to slide the union nuts onto the pipe before it is flared.
n Make connections to the device by hand ini-
tially, in order to ensure a good fit. Later, tighten the joints with two open-end wrenches Use one wrench to resist the rotation of the other (Fig. 47).
NOTICE!
Use only tools which are approved for use in an HVAC environment. (z. B.: bending pliers, pipe/tubing cutters, de-burrers and flaring tools). Do not cut refrigerant pipes with a saw.
NOTICE!
All work must be carried out in a way that pre­vents dirt, particles, water etc. from entering, refrigerant lines!

Tightening torque
Outdoor units may be delivered with nuts suit­able for joining flanges.
7.2 Commissioning the refrigera­tion system
Leak testing
Once all the connections have been made, the pressure gauge station is attached to the Schrader valve as follows (if fitted):
blue = large valve = suction pressure
Once the connection has been made successfully, the leak test is carried out with dry nitrogen. The leak test involves spraying a leak detection spray onto the connections. If bubbles are visible, the connections have not been made properly. In that case, tighten the connection or, if necessary, create a new flange.
Pumping down to vacuum
After completing a successful leak test, the excess pressure in the refrigerant pipes is removed and a vacuum pump with an absolute final partial pres­sure of min. 10 mbar is used to remove all of the air and empty the pipes. Any moisture present in the pipes will also be removed.
NOTICE!
A vacuum of at least 10 mbar must be pro­duced!
45
REMKO CMF/CMT
The time required to generate the vacuum is dependent on the final pressure pipe volume of the indoor units and the length of the refrigerant pipes. This always takes at least 60 minutes. Once any foreign gases and humidity have been completely extracted from the system, the valves on the pres­sure gauge station are closed and the valves on the outdoor component are opened as described in the "Commissioning" section.
Commissioning
NOTICE!
Commissioning should only be performed and documented by specially trained personnel.
Observe the operating manual for the indoor units and outdoor components when commis­sioning the entire system.
Once all components have been connected and checked, the system can be commissioned. To ensure the proper functioning of the units, a func­tional check must be performed prior to handover to the operator in order to detect any operational irregularities. This check is dependent on the installed indoor units. The processes are specified in the operating manual for the indoor units being commissioned.
Functional checks and test run
Check the following points:
n Leak-tightness of the refrigerant pipes. n Compressor and fan running smoothly. n Function test of the indoor units and all pro-
gram sequences.
n Check of the surface temperature of the suc-
tion pipe and that the vaporiser is not over­heating. To measure the temperature, hold the thermometer to the suction pipe and subtract the boiling point temperature reading on the pressure gauge from the measured tempera­ture.
n Record the measured temperatures in the
commissioning report.
Function test of heating operating mode
1. Remove the protective caps from the valves.
2. Start the commissioning procedure by briefly
opening the shut-off valves on the outdoor component until the pressure gauge indi­cates a pressure of approx. 2 bar.
3. Check all connections for leaks with leak detection spray and suitable leak detectors. If no leaks are found, fully open the shut-off valves by turning them anti-clockwise using a spanner. If leaks are found, draw off the refrigerant and rework the defective connec­tion. It is imperative that the vacuum creation and drying steps are repeated!
4. Activate the main circuit breaker or fuse (to be provided by the customer).
5. Program the heat pump manager.
6. Switching on heating mode
Due to the switch on delay, the com­pressor will start up a few minutes later.
7. Check the correct function and settings of all regulation, control and safety devices during the test run.
8. Measure all cooling data and record the measured values in the commissioning report.
9. Remove the pressure gauge.
Final tasks
n Use the heat pump manager to set the target
temperature to the required value.
n Re-install all disassembled parts. n Instruct the operator on how to use the units.
NOTICE!
Check that the shut-off valves and valve caps are tight after carrying out any work on the cooling cycle. Use appropriate sealant prod­ucts as necessary.
46
Adding refrigerant
DANGER!
The connection of refrigerant pipes and the handling of refrigerant may be only be carried out by qualified personnel (competence cate­gory I).
DANGER!
Only refrigerant in a liquid state may be used to fill the cooling cycle!
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from refrigerant!
Refrigerant degreases the skin on contact and may cause cold burns.
Therefore:
- Wear chemical-resistant protective gloves when undertaking any work involving refriger­ants.
-Safety glasses must be worn to protect the eyes.

NOTICE!
Check the overheating to determine the refrig­erant fill quantity.
n The outdoor unit is pre-filled with refrigerant
sufficient for a length of ordinary pipe up to 30 metres.
n If the length of any of the pipelines exceeds 30
metres, then an additional filling of 600g for each 10 metres of pipe length (basic length) is required.

8 Elektrical connection

8.1 General notes

n It is necessary to lay a power-supply cable
both to the outdoor unit and, separately, to the indoor unit.
n Power to the indoor unit may not be discon-
nected by the power company (Frost protec­tion).
n All indoor- and outdoor modules series CMF/
CMT 120 require a single-phase power supply at 230 V / 50 Hz.
The outdoor modules series CMF/CMT 160 require a three-phase power supply at 400 V / 50 Hz.
n The electrical connection between outdoor-
and indoor units is made using four-wire con­trol cable.
n Where applicable, a separate power supply
shall be provided to the indoor unit for electric booster heating.
n The heat pump manager needs to know
whether a power-company release- or off­period is in effect. An electrically-isolated switch must be installed for this purpose. (An open switch signifies power available, an open switch, off-time.)
n In the chapter "Connection diagram, terminal
configuration" in this manual can be found a connection schematic along with corre­sponding circuit diagrams.
n Special rates for heat pumps may be offered
by the power company (PSC).
n Ask your local power company about the
details of any rates that might be available.
WARNING!
Always note the currently applicable VDE guidelines and the notes in TAB 2007. The size and type of the fuse are to be taken from the technical data.
WARNING!
All cable sizes are to be selected according to VDE 0100. Special attention should be given to cable lengths, cable type and the kind of instal­lation. The information in the connection dia­gram and in the system overview are to be seen as an acceptable installation possibility only in a standard case!
NOTICE!
Make sure to connect the outdoor unit neutral connector properly, otherwise the varistors on the line-filter circuit board will be destroyed.
DANGER!
All electrical installation work must be done by an electrician.

Temperature sensors
n The number of sensors required can vary with
the type of system.
n In the indoor module (F11), the collector
sensor, the return sensor (F17) and the sensor for the liquid line (TH2-Refrigeration circuit) are already installed and connected.
n Observe the pertinent notes for the sensor
position found in the hydraulic schematic.
n The standard model includes an external
sensor (F9), a submersible sensor (intended for use as a custom hot-water sensor - F6), as well as a sensor for a. total supply (T-Collector­F8).
n When connecting solar panels, the PT-1000
sensor must be used to measuring the col­lector temperature! (F14) All other sensors must be NTC-sensors with a reference resist­ance of 5 kilo Ohms by 25 °C.
n All sensors are to be connected to the indoor-
module switching-cabinet according to the ter­minal-assignment diagram.
If the sensor cables are too short, they can be extended up to a maximum of 100m with wire having a cross-section of 1.5 mm².
External sensor
The connection of an outdoor sensor is always required for the heat pump manager.
n Mount the outdoor sensor pointing skyward, in
a north-easterly direction, about 2.5 metres above the ground. It may not be subjected to direct sunlight and is to be protected against excessive wind. Installation above windows or air ducts is to be avoided.
n In order to carry out the installation, remove the
cover and secure the sensor with the screws provided.
n A cable with wire cross-sections of 0.5 mm² is
recommended for connecting the sensor.
Contact sensor
Contact sensors can be mounted on the pipes, to measure the heating-circuit temperatures, for example.
n The contact sensor is fastened to a pipe with
the trapezoidal brackets and retaining strap provided.
n Clean the mounting point on the pipe. Subse-
quently a thermal compound (A) is applied and the sensor is fixed in position.

Position I: Normal operation
This switch turns on the system. The heat pump and a possible 2nd heat source (6 kW E-heater or boiler), load- and weather-dependent, are turned on and off - as well as regulated - automatically.
Position 0: OFF
Position II: Emergency-heat operation
This switch directly turns on all circulation pumps and the 2nd heat source (9 kW E-heater or boiler), bypassing the heat-pump manager. Use this position only if a serious malfunction of the heat pump occurs (e.g.: a fault in the outdoor module or in the heat-pump manager). This function might also be helpful if heat is ever required and the outdoor module has not yet been installed or or placed in service.
NOTICE!
Make sure that no weather-driven control occurs during emergency-heat operation. Therefore, limit the inlet temperature at the controller for the electric booster heater or at the external controller for the boiler to a max­imum temperature matched to the boiler. (e.g.: 55 °C for floor heating-systems)!

Outdoor unit error display (control board flashing code of the outdoor module)
In the event that the red control lamp lights up on the indoor module, then the fault is on the outdoor module. Two LEDs are visible after removing the enclosure panel which light up in green and red during normal operation (see adjacent figure). If the LEDs flash, then there is a fault. Causes and measures for their remedy can be taken from the following table. (Z = flashing)

11 Care and maintenance

Regular care and maintenance serves to ensure trouble-free operation and long service-life of the heat pump system.
Care
n The indoor and outdoor units must be kept free
of soiling, vegetation and other deposits.
n The device is to be cleaned with a damp cloth.
In doing so, it is to be ensured that no caustic, abrasive or solvent-based cleaning products are used. Use of powerful water jets is to be avoided.
n The fins on the outdoor unit are to be cleaned
at least once a year.
Maintenance
n To perform the possibly statutory seal test, it is
necessary to arrange an annual maintenance contract with an appropriate specialist firm.

12 Temporary shut-down

The system may not be switched off at the mains power supply even if the heating system is not used for heating purposes over an extended period (e.g. holidays)!
n The system is to be switched to "Stand-by"
mode during temporary shut-down periods.
n Heating phases can be programmed for the
duration of the period of absence.
n The previous operating mode has to be
switched back on when the shut-down phase is over.
n Instructions for changing the mode appear in
the corresponding chapter of the heat-pump manager's manual.
NOTICE!
In "Standby" , the heat pump is in standby mode. Of the entire system, only the frost-pro­tection function s activated.
NOTICE!
As the refrigerant capacity exceeds 3 kg, an annual seal inspection must be made of the refrigerant circuit by a firm specializing in this field. A heating system should always be serv­iced annually. Therefore, we recommend arranging for a service contract that includes the seal inspection.

15 General terms

Annual power input factor
The annual power input factor indicates the power input (e.g. electrical energy) required in order to achieve a certain benefit (e.g. heating energy). The annual power input factor includes the energy required for auxiliary drives.
Bivalent mode
The heat pump provides the entire heating energy down to a predetermined outdoor temperature (e.g. -3°C). If the temperature drops below this value, the heat pump switches off and the secon­dary heating appliance takes over the heating, e.g. a heating boiler.
Coefficient of performance
The current ratio of thermal output produced by the heat pump to the consumed electrical power is referred to as the coefficient of performance, as measured under standardised boundary conditions according to EN 255 / EN 14511. A coefficient of performance of 4 means that a usable thermal output amounting to 4-times the electrical power consumption is available.
Energy supply company switching
Certain energy supply companies offer special tar­iffs for the operation of heat pumps.
When switching off the power supply compa­nies only on the barrier is in contact only requirement of a heat source (heat pump) is blocked. Be switched off at monoenergetic operation, the power supply of the electric heating element with.
Evaporator
Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which uses the evaporation of a working medium in order to extract heat from its environment at low tempera­tures (e.g. the outdoor air).
Expansion valve
Heat pump component for lowering the condensing pressure on the vapour tension. In addition, the expansion valve regulates the quantity of injected refrigerant in relation to the evaporator load.
Compressor (condenser)
Unit designed for the mechanical conveyance and compression of gasses. Compression serves to significantly increase the pressure and tempera­ture of the medium.
Condenser
Heat exchanger on a refrigerant plant which lique­fies a working medium in order to transmit heat to its environment (e.g. the heating system).
Defrost
At outdoor temperatures below 5°C it is possible that ice may form on the evaporators of air/water heat pumps. The removal of this ice is referred to as defrosting and is undertaken by supplying heat, either regularly or as requirements dictate. Air/ water heat pumps with circuit reversal are distin­guished by their requirements-based, quick and energy-efficient defrosting system.
Heat carrier
Liquid or gas medium (e.g. water, brine or air), in which heat is transported.
Heat pump system
A heat pump system consists of a heat pump and a heat source system. For brine and water/water heat pumps, the heat source system must be made available separately.
Heat source
Medium from which the heat pump derives heat, in other words, soil, air and water.
Heating output
Flow of heat emitted from the liquefier to the envi­ronment. The heating output is the sum of the elec­trical power consumed by the condenser and the heat flux obtained from the environment.
Inverter
Power regulator which serves to match the speed of the compressor motor and the speed of the evaporator fans to the heating requirement.

Limit temperature / bivalence point
Outdoor temperature where the secondary heating appliance cuts in under bivalent operation.
Monovalent mode
In this mode, the heat pump is the sole heating appliance in the building all year round. Monova­lent mode is primarily used in combination with brine/water and water/water heat pumps.
Noise
Noise is transmitted in media such as air or water. Essentially there are two types of noise, airborne sound and solid-borne sound. Airborne sound is transmitted entirely via the air. Solid-borne sound is transmitted in solid materials or liquids and is only partially radiated as airborne sound. The audible range of sound lies between 20 and 20,000 Hz.
Refrigerant
The working medium used in a refrigerant plant, e.g. heat pump, is referred to as the refrigerant. The refrigerant is a liquid which is used for thermal transfer in a refrigeration plant and which is able to absorb heat by changing its state at low tempera­tures and low pressures. A further change of state at higher temperatures and higher pressure serves to dissipate this heat.
Refrigerating capacity
Seasonal performance factor
The seasonal performance factor relates to the ratio of heat content delivered by the heat pump system to the supplied electrical energy in one year. It may not be compared to the performance number. The seasonal performance factor expresses the reciprocal of the annual power input factor.
Single energy-source mode
The heat pump covers a large proportion of the required thermal output. On a few days per year an electrical heating coil supplements the heat pump under extremely low outdoor temperatures. Dimen­sioning of the heat pump for air/water heat pumps is generally based on a limit temperature (also known as balance point) of approx. -5 °C.
Sound pressure level
The sound pressure level is a comparable charac­teristic quantity for the radiated acoustic output of a machine, for example, a heat pump. The noise emission level at certain distances and acoustic environments can be measured. The standard is based on a sound pressure level given as a nom­inal noise level.
Split AC unit
Design where one part of the device is positioned outdoors and the other inside the building. Both units are connected to each other by a refrigerant pipe.
Heat flux extracted from the environment by the evaporator (air, water or soil).
Regulations and guidelines
The erection, installation and commissioning of heat pumps has to be undertaken by qualified spe­cialist engineers. In doing so, various standards and directives are to be observed.
Seal inspection
System operators are obliged to ensure the pre­vention of refrigerant leakage in accordance with the directive on substances that deplete the ozone layer (EC 2037/2000) and the Regulation on Cer­tain Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (EC 842/2006). In addition, a minimum of one annual service and inspection must be carried out, as well as a sealing test for refrigerating plants with a refrigerant filling weight over 3 kg.
Storage tank
The installation of a hot-water storage tank is gen­erally recommended in order to extend the running time of the heat pump under low heat require­ments. A storage tank is required for air/water heat pumps in order to bridge off-periods.
