7.1. Selecting the installation location
ATTENTION!
Take the following into account during installation: The device must not be installed close to a constant flame or other ignition source. The device must be installed so that mechanical damage is avoided.
It is forbidden to install the device as follows:
■ outdoors,
■ in rooms with exposure to frost or with a temperature below 7 °C, even if the device is in operation,
■ in extremely humid rooms with high steam levels (e.g. bathrooms),
■ in rooms where there is a risk of explosion due to the presence of gases, vapours or dust.
■ Installation close to bedrooms should be avoided to guarantee comfortable noise levels.
It is forbidden to
■ operate the device with intake air containing solvents or potentially explosive substances,
■ use intake air containing grease, dust or aerosols,
■ connect extraction hoods to the ventilation system,
■ use air containing boiler combustion products.
7.2. Arrangement and fixing
To guarantee that the domestic hot water heat pump works normally and to make maintenance work easier, a minimum distance around the device and a minimum ceiling height for removing the device cover must be observed.

The floor must have an adequate load bearing capacity (weight of the domestic hot water heat pump, filled with 250 l water = 335 kg).
NOTE
The domestic hot water heat pump must be installed vertically. Otherwise, condensate may overflow, causing water to accumulate on the floor.
Use the fixing point to fix the cylinder on the floor and fix the device via the metal tongue with a ∅ M8 screw that can be dowelled on to the floor (see 1).

8.1. Air-technical connection
The device is designed for use without an air duct. When using an air duct for intake, a total length of 2 m with a maximum of two 90° elbows is permitted. Failure to observe these regulations will void the manufacturer warranty
Without an air duct, the device must be installed in an unheated room (at least 20 m ^4 ) separate from neighbouring heated rooms.
If the clear height under the ceiling over the device is less than 60 cm, it is advisable to install an elbow on the air outlet and to direct it to the rear or to the sides.
The domestic hot water heat pump can also be used in unheated workshops and garages if the parameters listed in chapter 7 are complied with.
The domestic hot water heat pump enables dehumidification and cooling of rooms such as laundry rooms and storerooms.
8.2. Connecting the water pipes
A new safety group (not included in the scope of supply) must be installed that is set to 6 bar on the cold water inlet of the device. We recommend installing a safety assembly.
This safety group must correspond to the national standards and comply with DIN 1988, Part 2; DIN 4753, Part 1 and DIN EN 1488.
The safety group must be mounted as close as possible to the cold water inlet of the device and the water flow must never be obstructed by an accessory (valve, pressure reducer etc.)
The drainage outlet of the safety group must be installed in a frost-free environment and have a downward slope.
The drainage outlet of the safety group must be designed according to the standard and must never be blocked. It must be connected via a funnel (at least 20 mm to free air) to a vertical outlet line with a diameter that corresponds at least to that of the connection line of the device.
If the pressure on the cold water inlet is more than 5 bar, a pressure reducing valve must be installed upstream of the safety group on the flow.
We recommend mounting an isolation valve before the safety group.
For systems
■ with pipes with a small diameter,
■ with a ceramic ball cock
valves must be installed as close as possible to the cocks, or an expansion vessel adapted to the system, to prevent pressure surges.

■ Stainless steel
Brass
Plastic
NOTE
Depending on the materials used for the domestic hot water circuit, corrosion-related damage may occur due to incompatibilities.
For this reason, connection of the device to copper domestic hot water lines must be carried out with a cast or steel connection or using dielectric connections (not included in the scope of supply), which prevent any galvanic bridge (iron/copper).
The supply line upstream of the device connection to the sanitary installation must be flushed well so that no metal parts or other foreign bodies are transported into the device.
The standards applicable at the installation location must be complied with in particular with regard to the sanitary conditions and the pressure safety conditions.

NOTE
The maximum value of the domestic hot water temperature must not exceed 60 °C at the tapping points. Suitable thermostatic mixer taps must be installed to rule out any risk of scalding.
The device works with water with a total hardness between 6.5 °dH and 17 °dH. For particularly hard water (total hardness >14 °dH), we recommend using a water softener.
Failure to observe the conditions outlined above will void the warranty for the use of the cylinder (the values apply for a water temperature of 20 °C ).

| Water hardness >1.6 I eq. | >4.5 °dH | |
| Free CO2 <15 mg/l - | ||
| Calcium (Ca++) | >1.6 I eq. >4.5 °dH | |
| Sulphate (SO4--) | <2 I eq. >5.6 °dH | |
| Chloride (Cl-) <2 I eq. >5.6 °dH | ||
| Sulphate and chloride (SO4-- + Cl) | <3 I eq. >5.6 °dH | |

NOTE
We strongly advise against using a circulation line. This device is not designed for this type of connection. A circulation connection will result in a significant temperature drop in the cylinder.

NOTE
We are unable to honour a warranty if these points have not been observed or if a correct procedure could not be observed in line with the legislation due to the water quality.
8.3. Condensate drain
The condensate hose must not be connected directly to the drain. It must end in the free air in a siphon, which must be mounted and filled with water.
Do not fit a sleeve connection.
Do not bend the hose.




8.4. Electrical connection

NOTE
Do not connect the domestic hot water heat pump to the electric line of an old water heater that is connected to the contact for peak and low load times.

NOTE
Continuous voltage must be applied on the domestic hot water heat pump. The control of the peak and low load times takes place via a cable to be installed separately Earthing is essential here.
The supply takes place mono-phase with 230 V (1/N/PE 230 V \~, 50/60 Hz).
The power supply must be compliant with the regulations valid in the installation country and with the standard NFC 15-100.
A separating device must be installed on fixed lines in accordance with the installation regulations, which can guarantee a complete shutdown under the conditions of category III
The device must be protected as follows:
■ with an all-pole circuit breaker 13 A with
■ contact opening of at least 3 mm,
■ with a circuit breaker 13 A with differential 30 mA.
If the supply line is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's after-sales service or a person with comparable qualification to avoid damage.

NOTE
High risk of damage: Fill the cylinder before commissioning and connection to the mains.
NOTE
Before commissioning, check the entire water circuit for leaks.
■ Leave the device switched off.
■ Open the top domestic hot water tapping point of the system.
■ Open the cold water inlet on the safety group.
■ Fill the cylinder until the water runs from the top tapping point free from bubbles.
■ Close the domestic hot water tapping point.
In the permissible range between +5 °C and +45 °C intake air temperature, the device is primarily in heat pump operation.
The domestic hot water temperature supplied by the heat pump can be controlled up to 60 °C.
For a high domestic hot water consumption, the domestic hot water heat pump has a so-called "Comfort" function ⚠With this function, the heat output is increased if only 1/3 of the remaining cylinder volume is above temperatures >38 °C.
If a large quantity of domestic hot water is required for a short time, the domestic hot water heat pump has a "Turbo" function (can be activated by the user), which heats up the water quickly to the desired temperature using the supplementary electric heating (e.g. to 50 °C). This function is deactivated again as soon as the setpoint is reached (e.g. 50 °C).
10. Operation
10.1. Operation/standby
Press briefly to switch on the device.
A long press switches the device to standby mode.
The product continues to maintain frost protection in standby mode.
Setting the temperature
Pressing the button briefly and repeatedly adjusts the temperature.
NOTE
For optimal use of the heat pump, we recommend ensuring that the setpoint selected for the water temperature is not too high if the requirement is not high. The water temperature is set to 55 °C as standard.
After a few seconds without being used, the display switches off (active mode) with the exception of the display light for heating.
Simply pressing one of the buttons or activates the display again for reading the current setpoint.
10.2. Activating the "Turbo" function
Pressing the button activates the Turbo function, the heating symbol flashes.
NOTE
The "Turbo" function activates the heat pump and the electric heating element at the same time. This speeds up the heat-up process in a heating cycle.
The heating symbol flashes to indicate the activation of the "Turbo" function.
10.3. Menu
Pressing and holding the ⏻ button activates the menu.
Pressing the ⏻ button briefly switches between the following functions:
- "Smart" function (manages the heating depending on the estimated domestic hot water consumption)
- - "Comfort" function (use of the supplementary heating during periods of high water consumption)
- "Protect" function (activation of a weekly cycle for combating legionella)
- "Electric" function (for operation with supplementary electric heating only)
- "Low load times" function (for operation only in the event of a signal at low load times)
Pressing the button briefly activates (LED on) or deactivates (LED off) the selected function.
"Smart" function
With the "Smart" function, it is possible to only maintain part of the cylinder at the temperature if the device detects a lower hot water consumption.
ATTENTION!
We recommend only activating this function once you have familiarised yourself with the demand and the actual hot water consumption.
We advise against activating the "Smart" function and the "External control" function at the same time.
"Comfort" function
The "Comfort" function enables the supplementary electric heating to be operated at the same time as the heat pump. This is designed to prevent the water temperature from falling below a minimum comfort temperature of 38 °C.
The supplementary electric heating is active until the water temperature rises to max. 43 °C in this case. It then switches off and the heat pump ends the complete heating of the domestic water.
When the "Low load times" function is activated, the "Comfort" function is deactivated during "peak load times" (external contact open).
"Protect" function
During the anti-legionella heat-up, the water is heated to a temperature of >60 ^ by the heat pump.
If the setpoint for the domestic hot water is already set to 60 °C, no cycle for combating legionella is initiated, as this takes place permanently.
If a cycle is interrupted by a period where operation is forbidden (utility company blocking signal or another external contact), it is started again in the next release period.
"Electric" function
If the "Electric" function is activated, the device only uses the electric heating element for heating the water.
This means that emergency operation is necessary if the heat pump can not be used (e.g. air lines still to be connected, dust-generating work close to the device etc.).
"Low load times" function ⏻
The water heater may only be operated if the external contact is closed.
If the contact is open, the product is switched off completely, except in the following cases:
■ Frost protection
■ "Turbo" function
