6.4 Electrical Connection
The power supply and control voltage are supplied using stand-
ard cables (load: 5-core, control: 3-core).
As delivered, the power supply can be taken from a common
mains circuit.
As an option, the heat pump and the second heat generator can
be powered by separate circuits, provided that the bridges are re-
moved from the supply terminals (see circuit diagram in the ap-
pendix).
For detailed instructions on how to connect the external compo-
nents and how the heat pump controller functions, please refer to
the device connection diagram and the operating manual sup-
plied with the controller.
An all-pole disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3
mm (e.g. utility blocking contactor or power contactor) as well as
a 3-pole circuit breaker with common tripping for all external con-
ductors must be installed in the power supply (tripping current in
compliance with the Device Information).
Ensure that the incoming supply has a clockwise rotating field
when connecting multiphase devices L1; L2; L3; L10; L20; L30.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that there is a clockwise rotating field: Operating the compressor
in the wrong rotational direction could cause damage to the compressor.
The control voltage must be protected by a 10 A fuse.
On delivery, the 2nd heat generator is connected with a 2 kW
heat output. To increase the output to 4 kW or 6 kW, the copper
bridges included in the scope of supply must be connected as
laid out in the circuit diagram.
For detailed information, see Circuit Diagrams in the Appendix.
7 Start-UP
7.1 General Information
To ensure that start-up is performed correctly, it should only be
carried out by an after-sales service technician authorised by the
manufacturer. This may be a condition for extending the guaran-
tee (see Warranty Service).
7.2 Preparation
The following items need to be checked prior to start-up:
All of the heat pump connections must be established as de-
scribed in Chapter 6.
All valves that could impair the proper flow of the heating
water in the heating circuit must be open.
The air intake and air outlet paths must be clear.
The ventilator must turn in the direction indicated by the ar-
row.
The settings of the heat pump controller must be adapted to
the heating system in accordance with the controller’s oper-
ating instructions.
Ensure the condensate outflow functions.
7.3 Procedure
The heat pump is started up via the heat pump controller. Adjust-
ments should be made in compliance with the instructions.
If an overflow valve is fitted to maintain the minimum heating
water flow rate, the valve must be adapted to the requirements of
the heating system. Incorrect adjustment can lead to faulty oper-
ation and increased energy consumption. We recommend carry-
ing out the following procedure to correctly adjust the overflow
valve:
Close all of the heating circuits that may also be closed during
operation (depending on the type of heat pump usage) so that
the most unfavourable operating state - with respect to the water
flow rate - is achieved. This normally means the heating circuits
of the rooms on the south and west sides of the building. At least
one heating circuit must remain open (e.g. bathroom).
The overflow valve should be opened far enough to produce the
maximum temperature spread between the heating flow and re-
turn flow listed in the following table for the current heat source
temperature. The temperature spread should be measured as
close as possible to the heat pump. The heating element of mono
energy systems should be disconnected.
Any faults occurring during operation are also displayed on the
heat pump controller and can be corrected as described in the
operating instructions of the heat pump controller.
At hot water temperatures under 7 °C, start-up is not possible.
The water in the buffer tank must be heated to a minimum of
18 °C with the second heat generator.
To ensure a problem-free start-up, the following procedure is to
be implemented:
1) Close all consumer circuits.
2) Ensure that the heat pump has the correct water flow rate.
3) Use the controller to select the automatic operating mode.
4) In the special functions menu, start the “Start-up” pro-
gramme.
5) Wait until a return flow temperature of at least 25 °C has
been reached.
6) Now slowly reopen the heating circuit valves in succession
so that the heating water flow is constantly raised by slightly
opening the respective heating circuit. The heating water
temperature in the buffer tank must not be allowed to drop
below 20 °C during this process. This ensures that the heat
pump can be defrosted at any time.
7) When all heat circuits are fully open and a return flow tem-
perature of at least 18 °C is maintained, set a minimum vol-
ume flow quantity on the overflow valve (where present) and
on the heat circulating pump.
