Installati on and maintenance

The unit may not be installed close to combustible materials, or the air duct inlet of an adjacent building

With some devices, it is essential to fit protecti on grids if the unit is installed in an area with uncontrolled access.

During installation, troubleshooting and maintenance, pipes may not be used as steps: the pipe could break under the weight, spilling refrigerant and possibly causing serious burns.

When servicing the appliance, the composition and state of heat carrying fluid must be checked, as well as the absence of any refrigerant.

During the annual unit sealing test in accordance with applicable legislation, the high and low pressure switches must be checked to ensure that they are securely fastened to the coolant circuit and that they cut-off the electrical circuit when tripped.

During maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around cooling components.

Before beginning work on the cooling circuit, stop the device and wait for a few minutes before fitting the temperature and pressure sensors. Some elements such as the compressor and piping may reach temperatures in excess of 100irc C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe scalding.

Troubleshooti ng

All soldering work must be carried out by a someone qualified to do so.

Replacement pipes must always be made of copper in compliance with standard NF EN 12735-1.

Leak detection, pressure test:

  • never use oxygen or dry air, risk of fire or explosion,
  • use dry nitrogen or the mixture of nitrogen and refrigerant indicated on the information on plate,
  • the test pressure for both the high and low pressure circuits must not exceed 42 bar (for R410A) in the case the device is
    equipped with the optional pressure gauge.

The high pressure circuit pipes are made of copper and have a diameter equal to or greater than 1"5/8. A certificate as indicated in §2.1 in compliance with standard NF EN 10204 will be requested from the supplier and filed in the facility's technical documentation. Technical data relative to the safety requirements of the various applicable directives must be indicated on the information plate. All this information must be recorded in the unit's installation manual, which must be kept in the technical file of the unit: model, code, serial number, maximum and minimum OT, OP, year of manufacture, EC label, manufacturer's address, refrigerant and weight, electrical parameters, thermo-dynamic and acousti c performances.

Use

2.1 I Operating principle

Your heat pump uses the calories (heat) in the air to heat up your pool's water. The process to heat your pool's water to the temperature you want may take a few days as it depends on the weather conditions, your heat pump's power and the difference between the water temperature and the temperature you want. . The warmer and damper the air, the better your heat pump will perform.

ZODIAC Z900 - I Operating principle - 1

Tip: improve your pool's temperature rise and maintenance

  • Anti cipate and plan the use of your pool well enough in advance before you use it.
  • For the temperature rise, set the water circulati on to conti nuous operati on (24/24).
  • To maintain the temperature throughout the season, run "automatic" circulation for at least 12 hours/day (the longer this time the longer the heat pump will have enough operating range to heat up).
    • Cover the pool with a an appropriate pool cover (bubble canopy, canvas, etc.) to prevent heat loss.
  • Take advantage of a period with mild outdoor temperatures (on average >10°C at night); it will be even more effective if it runs during the warmest hours of the day.
  • Keep the evaporator clean.
  • Set the temperature you want and let the heat pump run (adjusting the setpoint to maximum will not heat the water more quickly).

3 Maintenance

3.1 I Winterising

ZODIAC Z900 - I Winterising - 1

  • Winterising is recommended if the device is not used for a long period.
  • If only the heat pump is wintered, the device may be kept frost-free thanks to the resistances on the condensers and the compressor(s); in this case, keep it powered with electricity. There will be no need to drain the condensers.
  • To avoid damaging the equipment due to condensati on, do not fully cover it.

  • Disconnect the electrical supply.

  • Open valve B,
  • Close valves A and C and open valves D and E (if present),
  • Make sure that there is no water circulating in the heat pump,
  • Drain the water from the condensers (risk of freezing) by unscrewing the two water inlet and outlet connectors on the back of the heat pump,
  • In the case of full wintering for the pool (complete shutdown of the filtration system, bleed the filtration circuit or even pool drainage): insert the two plugs provided and, where necessary, tighten the two connectors by one turn to prevent any foreign body from penetrating the condenser,
  • In the case of wintering for the heat pump only (shutdown of the heating only, but the filtration keeps running): do not tighten the connectors but instead add 2 caps (provided) on the condensers water inlets and outlets.

ZODIAC Z900 - Troubleshooting - 2

4.1 I Device behaviour

The device does not start heating straight awayOn start-up, the device remains "paused" for 1 at 6 minutes before it starts operating; the compressor number(s) fl ash.When the setpoint temperature is reached, the heat pump stops heating: the water temperature.It may be that the heat pump has detected an operating fault (see § "4.2 I Displays").If you have checked these points and the problem persists: contact your reseller.
The device is draining waterOft en called condensati on. This water is the moisture contained in the air which condenses on contact with certain cold mechanisms in the heat pump, especially on the evaporator. The more damp the air, the more condensati on your heat pump will produce (your device may drain several litres of water per day).To check that the water is not coming from a leak in the pool circuit on the heat pump, shut down the heat pump and run the fl trati on pump for the water to circulate in the heat pump. If the water continues to flow through the condensati on drains after half an hour, there is a water leak in the heat pump; contact your reseller.
The evaporator is iced overYour heat pump will soon switch to its defrost cycle to melt the ice.If your heat pump cannot manage to deice its evaporator, it will stop itself; this means that the outdoor temperature is too low (below -12 °C).
The device is "smoking"This may occur when it is in a defrost cycle and the water is converted to gas.
The device is not workingIf there is no display, check the supply voltage and the general protecti on fuses.When the setpoint temperature is reached, the heat pump stops heating: the water temperature is higher than or equal to the setpoint temperature.When the water flow rate is zero or is not enough, the heat pump stops: check that the water is circulating correctly in the heat pump (fault displayed).The heat pump stops when the outdoor temperature is too low (fault displayed).It may be that the heat pump has detected an operating fault (see § "4.2 I Displays").
The device is working but the water temperature does not increaseSet the fl trati on 24/24 and close the cover or shutt er if the pool has one.Check that the automatic filling valve (if present) is not stuck in open position; this will keep supplying cold water into the pool and will prevent the temperature from rising.There is too much heat loss as the air is cool. Install a heat insulated cover on your pool.The heat pump is unable to capture enough calories as its evaporator is clogged with dirt. Clean it to restore its performances (see § "3.2 I Servicing").Check that the external environment is not hindering the heat pump (see § "1 Installati on").Check that the heat pump is the right size for this pool and its environment.
The device trips the circuit breakerCheck that the circuit breaker is correctly dimensioned and that the cable secti on used is the right one (see § "5.2 I Technical specifi cati ons").The supply voltage is too low; contact your electricity supplier.
