Safety notes
1.1 Symbols and markings
Particularly important information in these instructions is
marked with CAUTION! and NOTE.
CAUTION!
Immediate danger to life or danger of severe personal injury or
significant damage to property.
NOTE
i i i i
Risk of damage to property or minor personal injury or
important information with no further risk of personal injury
or damage to property.
1.2 Important information
The operational reliability of the safety valve should be checked
at regular intervals. We recommend having an annual service
inspection carried out by a qualified specialist company.
The outflow from the safety valve should visibly flow into a
waste water drain.
The installer of the heating system is responsible for checking
whether an additional expansion vessel is required.
Operating the system in a sensible way can provide significant
energy savings. The heating water temperature should be as
low as required during heat pump operation. The planner of the
heating system is responsible for determining the system
temperature.
When installing an underfloor heating system, a sensible value
for the maximum flow and return temperature should be set on
the heat pump manager. The position of the temperature sen-
sor is important in this regard.
1.3 Legal regulations and guidelines
This heat pump is designed for use in a domestic environment
according to Article 1, Paragraph 2 k) of EU directive 2006/42/
EU (machinery directive) and is thus subject to the require-
ments of EU directive 2014/35/EU (low-voltage directive). It is
thus also intended for use by non-professionals for heating
shops, offices and other similar working environments, in agri-
cultural establishments and in hotels, guest houses and similar
/ other residential buildings.
The construction and design of the hydro tower complies with
all relevant EU directives, DIN and VDE regulations (see CE de-
claration of conformity).
When connecting the hydro tower to the power supply, the rel-
evant VDE, EN and IEC standards must be fulfilled. Any further
connection requirements stipulated by the mains supply net-
work operator must also be observed.
When connecting the heating system, all applicable regulations
must also be adhered to.
The current valid regulations must be complied with when con-
necting the heating system. The local regulations for the drink-
ing water supply must also be complied with when connecting
the device to the drinking water supply.
This unit can be used by children aged 8 and over and by per-
sons with limited physical, sensory or mental aptitude or lack of
experience and/or knowledge, providing they are supervised or
EN-2
have been instructed in the safe use of the unit and understand
the associated potential dangers.
Children must not play with the device. Cleaning and user
maintenance must not be carried out by children without su-
pervision.

2.1 Application
The hydro tower constitutes the interface between a non-re-
versible heat pump and the heat distribution in the building.
The hydro tower contains all hydraulic components required
between heat generation and heat distribution with an unmixed
heating circuit. A dual differential pressureless manifold with a
buffer tank allows an energy-optimised hydraulic integration of
the heat generator and the heat distribution.
NOTE
i i i i
The device is not suitable for operation with a frequency
converter.
2.2 General properties
Low installation effort
All components easily accessible
Ready-to-connect, contains all essential components, i.e.
pumps, shut-offs, safety devices and heat pump manager
Integrated 300l hot water cylinder
Integrated buffer tank reduces operating cycles of the heat
pump, thus increasing the efficiency of the system
The infinitely adjustable operation of the circulating pump
in the heating circuit allows the output to be adjusted ac-
cording to need.
Optional immersion heater up to 6 kW
Switchable pipe heater (2 / 4 / 6 kW) for supplementary
heating.
