Start-UP

8.1 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. These measures can also include an additional
warranty under certain conditions (see Warranty).

8.2 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 manager must be adapted to
the heating system in accordance with the controller's oper-
ating instructions.
 Ensure the condensate outflow functions.
 Both the accessories pack in the switch box and that which
is located under the ventilator must be removed.

8.3 Procedure

The heat pump is started up via the heat pump manager. Adjust-
ments should be made in compliance with the instructions.
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.
3) Use the manager to select the automatic operating mode.
4) In the special functions menu, start the "Start-up" program.
5) Wait until a return 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 tempera-
ture of at least 18° C is maintained, the heat pump start-up
is complete.
ATTENTION!
Operating the heat pump at low system temperatures may cause the heat
pump to break down completely. After a prolonged power failure, the
commissioning procedure detailed above must be followed.

Maintenance / Cleaning

9.1 Maintenance

To protect the paintwork, avoid leaning or putting objects on the
device. External heat pump parts can be wiped with a damp cloth
and domestic cleaner.
NOTE
Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as
these can damage the surfaces.
To prevent faults due to sediment in the heat exchanger of the
heat pump, ensure that the heat exchanger in the heating system
can not be contaminated. We recommend protecting the evapo-
rator by installing a bird guard in the inlet duct. At least 80% of the
cross section of the grating should be open. In the event that op-
erating malfunctions due to contamination still occur, the system
should be cleaned as described below.

9.2 Cleaning the Heating System

The ingress of oxygen into the heating water circuit may result in
the formation of oxidation products (rust), particularly if steel
components are used. These products enter the heating system
via the valves, the circulating pumps and/or plastic pipes. It is
therefore essential - in particular with respect to the piping of un-
derfloor heating systems - that only diffusion-proof materials are
used.
NOTE
We recommend the installation of a suitable corrosion protection system
to prevent the formation of deposits (e.g. rust) in the condenser of the
heat pump.
Residue from lubricants and sealants may also contaminate the
heating water.
In the case of severe contamination leading to a reduction in the
performance of the liquifier in the heat pump, the system must be
cleaned by a heating technician.
According to today's state of knowledge, we recommend using a
5 % phosphoric acid solution for cleaning purposes. However, if
cleaning needs to be performed more frequently, a 5 % formic
acid solution should be used.
In either case, the cleaning fluid should be at room temperature.
We recommend flushing the heat exchanger in the direction op-
posite to the normal flow direction.
To prevent acidic cleaning agents from entering the heating sys-
tem circuit, we recommend connecting the flushing device di-
rectly to the flow and return flow of the liquifier of the heat pump.
It is important that the system be thoroughly flushed using appro-
priate neutralising agents to prevent any damage from being
caused by cleaning agent residue remaining in the system.
Acids must be used with great care and all relevant regulations of
the employers' liability insurance associations must be adhered
to.
The manufacturer's instructions regarding cleaning agent must
be complied with at all times.
