3. Appliance description
3.1 Properties
The appliance is an air|water heat pump that operates as a heating heat pump. Heat is extracted from the outdoor air at a low
temperature level, and is then transferred to the heating water at
a higher temperature. The heating water can be heated up to a
flow temperature of 60 °C.
Operational characteristics:
- Suitable for underfloor and radiator heating.
- Heat pump operates most efficiently on a low-temperature
heating system.
- Still extracts heat from the outdoor air at - 20 °C outside
temperature.
Note
The WPL 57 features a silent mode. Silent mode enables
the heat pump noise emissions to be reduced.
- Silent program 1 reduces the fan speed.
- Silent program 2 switches the heat pump off.
Heating will [then] be provided by the internal or
external second heat source. This results in higher
electricity bills.
Where required, set silent mode in the heat pump
manager.
3.2 Function
Heat is extracted from the outdoor air via the heat exchanger
(evaporator) on the air side. The now evaporated refrigerant is
compressed with a compressor. This process requires electrical
energy. This electrical energy helps to heat the room.
At air temperatures below approx. + 7 °C, the humidity in the air
condenses as hoarfrost on the evaporator fins. Any hoarfrost is automatically defrosted. Water created from this defrosting process
collects in the defrost pan and is drained off via a hose.
The heat pump automatically reverts to heating mode at the end
of the defrost cycle.
Material losses
!
In dual mode operation, return water from the second
heat generator may flow through the heat pump. Please
note that the return water temperature may be a maximum of 60 °C.
3.3 Equipment features
- Corrosion-protected, external casing made from galvanised
sheet steel plus powder-coated finish.
- Comprises all components and safety equipment required for
operation.
- Filled with non-combustible safety refrigerant.
4. Operation
Operation is exclusively controlled via the heat pump manager.
Observe the heat pump manager operating and installation
instructions.
Note
For centralised control of the heating system, you would
need the WPM heat pump manager.
Maintenance work, such as checking the electrical safety,
must only be carried out by a heating contractor.
We recommend an annual inspection (to establish the system's
current condition), and maintenance by a qualified contractor if
required (to return the system to the desired condition).
A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning all plastic and sheet
metal parts. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.
Note
Keep the air discharge and intake apertures free from
snow and leaves.
Check regularly whether water collects beneath the
appliance.
In the event of water collecting beneath the appliance, call
a qualified contractor to have the condensate drain cleaned
out.
Note
Once per year, the refrigerant circuit must be tested for
leaks in accordance with the EC Directive 517/2014.
The tightness test must be documented in the log.
6. Troubleshooting
FaultCauseRemedy
There is no hot
water or the heating system stays
cold.
Water is leaking
from the appliance.
Condensate is
collecting on the
outside of the appliance.
Note
Even when the condensate is draining away correctly,
expect water to drip from the appliance onto the floor.
If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your qualified contractor. To
facilitate and speed up your request, provide the number from the
type plate (000000-0000-000000). The type plate is located at the
front top, on the right or left hand side of the casing.
No power at the appliance.
The condensate drain may be
blocked.
The heat pump is drawing heat
from the outdoor air to heat
the building. This can cause the
humidity in the outdoor air to
accumulate as dew or frost on the
cooled heat pump casing. This is
not a defect.
Check the fuses/MCBs in
your fuse box/distribution panel. Replace the
fuses/reset the MCBs if
required. Notify your
qualified contractor if
the fuses/MCBs blow/
trip again.
Clean the condensate
drain as described in
chapter 'Care and maintenance'.
Only a qualified contractor should carry out installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair of the appliance.

9.4 Heat pump manager WPM
A WPM heat pump manager is required to operate the appliance.
This controls the heat pump and regulates the heating system.
Pay attention to the appliance's centre of gravity when trans-
porting the appliance.
The centre of gravity is in the area where the compressor is located.
Protect the appliance against heavy impact during transport.
Where space is restricted, you can also tilt the appliance at an
angle to move it.
10.2 Siting
Pay attention to the air discharge direction.
Position the appliance on the prepared substrate.
Level the appliance horizontally by adjusting the feet.
Route the water pipes and electrical cables into the appliance
from below through the knock-outs in the base.
Note
Do not fit the casing components until the electrical and
hydraulic connections have been made.
10.3 Heating water connection
The heating system to which the heat pump is connected must be
installed by a qualified contractor in accordance with the water
installation drawings that are part of the technical guides.
Thoroughly flush the pipework before connecting the heat
pump.
Debris, such as welding pearls, rust, sand, sealant, etc. can impair
the operational reliability of the heat pump.
10.4 Oxygen diffusion
Material losses
!
Avoid open heating systems and plastic pipes in underfloor heating systems which are permeable to oxygen.
In underfloor heating systems with plastic pipes that are permeable to oxygen and in open vented heating systems, oxygen
diffusion may lead to corrosion on the steel components of the
heating system (e.g. on the indirect coil of the DHW cylinder, on
buffer cylinders, steel heating elements or steel pipes).
Material losses
!
The products of corrosion (e.g. rusty sludge) can settle in
the heating system components and can result in a lower
output or fault shutdowns due to reduced cross-sections.
10.5 Filling the heating system
10.5.1 Heating water quality
Carry out a fill water analysis before the system is filled. This may,
for example, be requested by the relevant water supply utility.
Material losses
!
To avoid damage as a result of scaling, it may be necessary to soften or desalinate the fill water. Always observe
the fill water limits specified in the "Specification / Data
table" chapter.
Recheck these limits 8-12 weeks after commission-
ing and as part of the annual system maintenance.
Note
With a conductivity >1000 μS/cm, desalination treatment
is recommended in order to avoid corrosion.
Note
Suitable appliances for water softening and desalinating,
as well as for charging and flushing heating systems, can
be obtained via trade suppliers.
Note
If you treat the fill water with inhibitors or additives, the
same limits as for desalination apply.
10.5.2 Venting the heating system
Vent the pipework carefully. For this, also activate the air
vent valve integrated into the heating flow inside the heat
pump.
10.6 Minimum flow rate
The minimum flow rate is set via the temperature differential of
the buffer circuit.
Set the buffer charging pump so that the value is equal to or lower
than the maximum temperature differential.
The setting is made in heat pump mode. For this, make the following settings first:
Temporarily remove the fuse from the electric emergency/
booster heater to isolate the emergency/booster heater from
the power supply. Alternatively, switch OFF the second heat
generator.
Operate the appliance in heating mode.
10.6.1 Flow rate with buffer cylinder
When using a buffer cylinder, make the following setting: In the
menu "SETTINGS/ HEATING/ STANDARD SETTINGS", set parameter "BUFFER OPERATION" to "ON".
The flow rate can be adjusted using the temperature differential
of the buffer circuit. The value must not fall below the minimum
flow rate.
