6.3 Electrical Connection
A standard three-core cable is used for connecting the heat
pump to the power supply.
The cable must be provided by the customer. The conductor
cross section is selected in accordance with the power consump-
tion of the heat pump (see Appendix Device Information) and the
applicable VDE (EN) and VNB regulations.
A disconnecting device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm (e.g.
utility blocking contactor or power contactor) as well as a 1-pole
circuit breaker must be installed in the power supply of the heat
pump by the customer (tripping current in compliance with the
Device Information).
The control voltage is supplied via the heat pump controller.
The heat pump controller has a 230 V AC-50 Hz power supply.
Connect the controller in compliance with its own operating in-
structions (16 A fuse).
The control line (not included in scope of supply) is connected to
the heat pump controller using a multipole plug connector. Use
the plug connector located on the base of the heat pump adja-
cent to the cable gland in the base plate. More detailed informa-
tion can be found in the operating instructions of the heat pump
controller.
See Appendix Circuit Diagrams for detailed information.

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 authorized by the
manufacturer. Only then can an extended warranty period of
3 years in total be granted (see Warranty Service). Start-up
should be carried out in heating operation.
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 not be blocked in any
way.
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.
The condensate outflow must not be impaired.
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.
