- Space heating

Zone1 can operate in cooling mode or heating mode, while zone2 can only operate in heating mode; While installation, for all thermostats in zone1, only "H、L" terminals need to be connected. For all thermostats in zone2, only "C、L" terminals need to be connected.

1) The ON/OFF of zone1 is controlled by the room thermostats in zone1. When any "HL" of all thermostats in zone1 closes, zone1 turns ON. When all "HL" turn OFF, zone1 turns OFF; Target temperature and operation mode are set on the user interface.
2) In heating mode, the ON/OFF of zone2 is controlled by the room thermostats in zone2. When any "CL" of all thermostats in zone2 closes, zone2 turns ON. When all "CL" open, zone2 turns OFF. Target temperature is set on the user interface; Zone 2 can only operate in heating mode. When cooling mode is set on the user interface, zone2 keeps in OFF status.

• The circulation pump operation

When zone 1 is ON, P_o starts running; When zone 1 is OFF, P_o stops running; When zone 2 is ON, SV3 switches between ON and OFF according to the set TW2, P_C keeps ON; When zone 2 is OFF, SV3 is OFF, P_c stops running.

The floor heating loops require a lower water temperature in heating mode compared to radiators or fan coil unit. To achieve these two set points, a mixing station is used to adapt the water temperature according to requirements of the floor heating loops. The radiators are directly connected to the unit water circuit and the floor heating loops are after the mixing station. The mixing station is controlled by the unit.

CAUTION

  1. In cascade system, Tbt1 sensor must be connected to master unit and set Tbt1 valid on user interface (refer to 10.5.15). Or all slave units will not work;
  2. If outside circulation pump need to be connected in series in system when the head of internal water pump is not enough, outside circulation pump is suggested to be installed after the balance tank.
  3. Please ensure that the maximum interval of power-on time of all units doesn't exceed 2min, otherwise the time for querying and allocating addresses will be missed, which may cause the slaves to fail to communicate normally and report Hd error.
  4. Maximum 6 units can be cascaded in one system.
  5. The outlet pipe of each unit must be installed with a check valve.

9.4 Water piping

All piping lengths and distances have been taken into consideration.

Requirements

The maximum allowed thermistor cable length is 20m. This is the maximum allowable distance between the domestic hot water tank and the unit (only for installations with a domestic hot water tank). The thermistor cable supplied with the domestic hot water tank is 10m in length. In order to optimize efficiency we recommend installing the 3-way valve and the domestic hot water tank as close as possible to the unit.

NOTE

If the installation is equipped with a domestic hot water tank (field supply), please refer to the domestic hot water tank Installation And Owner's Manual. If there is no glycol (anti-freeze) in the system and there is a power supply or pump failure, drain the system (as shown in the figure below).

Vivax HPM-41CH120AERIs R32-3 - NOTE - 1

natural_image Diagram of a vertical structure with a fan and directional arrows, possibly indicating airflow or ventilation (no text or symbols present)

NOTE

If water is not removed from the system in freezing weather when unit is not used, the frozen water may damage the water circle parts.

9.4.1 Check the water circuit

The unit is equipped with a water inlet and water outlet for connection to a water circuit. This circuit must be provided by a licensed technician and must comply with local laws and regulations.

The unit is only to be used in a closed water system. Application in an open water circuit can lead to excessive corrosion of the water piping.

10Expansion vessel(field supply)FHL1...nFloor heating loop (Field supply)

Before continuing the installation of the unit, check the following:

• The maximum water pressure ≤ 3 bar.
- The maximum water temperature ≤ 70^ according to safety device setting.
• Always use materials that are compatible with the water used in the system and with the materials used in the unit.
- Ensure that components installed in the field piping can withstand the water pressure and temperature.
- Drain taps must be provided at all low points of the system to permit complete drainage of the circuit during maintenance.
- Air vents must be provided at all high points of the system. The vents should be located at points that are easily accessible for service. An automatic air purge valve is provided inside the unit. Check that this air purge valve is not tightened so that automatic release of air in the water circuit is possible.

9.4.2 Water volume and sizing expansion vessels

The units are equipped with an expansion vessel of 8L that has a default pre-pressure of 1.0 bar. To assure proper operation of the unit, the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel might need to be adjusted.

1) Check that the total water volume in the installation, excluding the internal water volume of the unit, is at least 40L. See 14 "Technical specifications" to find the total internal water volume of the unit.

NOTE

• In most applications this minimum water volume will be satisfactory.
- In critical processes or in rooms with a high heat load though, extra water might be required.
- When circulation in each space heating loop is controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that this minimum water volume is kept even if all the valves are closed.

2) Expansion vessel volume must fit the total water system volume.
3) To size the expansion for the heating and cooling circuit.

The expansion vessel volume can follow the figure below:

Vivax HPM-41CH120AERIs R32-3 - NOTE - 1

line | System water volume (L) | Expansion vessel (L) | | ----------------------- | -------------------- | | 150 | 3 | | 400 | 21 |

9.4.3 Water circuit connection

Water connections must be made correctly in accordance with labels on the outdoor unit, with respect to the water inlet and water outlet.

CAUTION

Be careful not to deform the unit's piping by using excessive force when connecting the piping. Deforming the piping can cause the unit to malfunction.

If air, moisture or dust gets in the water circuit, problems may occur. Therefore, always take into account the following when connecting the water circuit:

• Use clean pipes only.
- Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.
- Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall to prevent dust and dirt entering.
- Use a good thread sealant for sealing the connections. The sealing must be able to withstand the pressures and temperatures of the system.
- When using non-copper metallic piping, be sure to insulate two kind of materials from each other to prevent galvanic corrosion.

- For copper is a soft material, use appropriate tools for connecting the water circuit. Inappropriate tools will cause damage to the pipes.

Vivax HPM-41CH120AERIs R32-3 - CAUTION - 1

NOTE

The unit is only to be used in a closed water system. Application in an open water circuit can lead to excessive corrosion of the water piping:

  • Never use Zn-coated parts in the water circuit. Excessive corrosion of these parts may occur as copper piping is used in the unit's internal water circuit.
  • When using a 3-way valve in the water circuit. Preferably choose a ball type 3-way valve to guarantee full separation between the domestic hot water and floor heating water circuit.
  • When using a 3-way valve or a 2-way valve in the water circuit. The recommended maximum changeover time of the valve should be less than 60 seconds.

9.4.4 Water circuit anti-freeze protection

All internal hydronic parts are insulated to reduce heat loss. Insulation must also be added to the field piping.

In event of a power failure, the above features would not protect the unit from freezing.

The software contains special functions using the heat pump and backup heater (if it is available) to protect the entire system against freezing. When the temperature of the water flow in the system drops to a certain value, the unit will heat the water, either using the heat pump, the electric heating tap, or the backup heater. The freeze protection function will turn off only when the temperature increases to a certain value.

Water may enter into the flow switch and cannot be drained out and may freeze when the temperature is low enough. The flow switch should be removed and dried, then can be reinstalled in the unit.

Technical diagram illustrating the internal components of a refrigerated appliance with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating flow or assembly.

NOTE

CounterclockWise rotation, remove the flow switch. Drying the flow switch completely.

CAUTION

When the unit is not running for a long time, make sure the unit is powered on all the time. If you want to cut off the power, the water in the system pipe needs to be drained clean to avoid the unit and pipeline system being damaged by freezing. Also the power of the unit needs to be cut off after water in the system is drained off.

WARNING

Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol are TOXIC

9.5 Filling water

  • Connect the water supply to the filling valve and open the valve.
  • Make sure the automatic air purge valve is open (at least 2 turns).
  • Fill with water pressure of approximately 2.0 bar. Remove air in the circuit as much as possible using the air purge valves. Air in the water circuit could lead to malfunction of the backup electric heater.

Do not fasten the black plastic cover on the vent valve at the topside of the unit when the system is running. Open air purge valve, turn anticlockWise at least 2 full turns to release air from the system.

Vivax HPM-41CH120AERIs R32-3 - Filling water - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with pipes and components (no text or symbols)

NOTE

During filling, it might not be possible to remove all air in the system. Remaining air will be removed through the automatic air purge valves during the first operating hours of the system. Topping up the water afterwards might be required.

  • The water pressure will vary depending on the water temperature (higher pressure at higher water temperature). However, at all times water pressure should remain above 0.3 bar to avoid air entering the circuit.
    • The unit might drain-off too much water through the pressure relief valve.
    • Water quality should be complied with EN 98/83 EC Directives.
    • Detailed water quality condition can be found in EN 98/83 EC Directives.

9.6 Water piping insulation

The complete water circuit including all piping, water piping must be insulated to prevent condensation during cooling operation and reduction of the heating and cooling capacity as well as prevention of freezing of the outside water piping during winter. The insulation material should at least of B1 fire resistance rating and complies with all applicable legislation. The thickness of the sealing materials must be at least 13 mm with thermal conductivity 0.039 W/mK in order to prevent freezing on the outside water piping.

If the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than 30^ C and the humidity is higher than RH 80%, then the thickness of the sealing materials should be at least 20 mm in order to avoid condensation on the surface of the seal.

9.7 Field wiring

WARNING

A main switch or other means of disconnection, having a contact separation in all poles, must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with relevant local laws and regulations. Switch off the power supply before making any connections. Use only copper wires. Never squeeze bundled cables and make sure they do not come in contact with the piping and sharp edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the terminal connections. All field wiring and components must be installed by a licensed electrician and must comply with relevant local laws and regulations.

The field wiring must be carried out in accordance with the wiring diagram supplied with the unit and the instructions given below.

Be sure to use a dedicated power supply. Never use a power supply shared by another appliance.

Be sure to establish a ground. Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, surge protector, or telephone ground. Incomplete grounding may cause electrical shock.

Be sure to install a ground fault circuit interrupter (30 mA). Failure to do so may cause electrical shock.

Be sure to install the required fuses or circuit breakers.

9.7.1 Precautions on electrical wiring work

  • Fix cables so that cables do not make contact with the pipes (especially on the high pressure side).
  • Secure the electrical wiring with cable ties so that it does not come in contact with the piping, particularly on the high-pressure side.
    • Make sure no external pressure is applied to the terminal connectors.
  • When installing the ground fault circuit interrupter make sure that it is compatible with the inverter (resistant to high frequency electrical noise) to avoid unnecessary opening of the ground fault circuit interrupter.

NOTE

The ground fault circuit interrupter must be a high-speed type breaker of 30 mA (<0.1 s).

- This unit is equipped with an inverter. Installing a phase advancing capacitor not only will reduce the power factor improvement effect, but also may cause abnormal heating of the capacitor due to high-frequency waves. Never install a phase advancing capacitor as it could lead to an accident.

Field wiring guidelines

- Most field wiring on the unit is to be made on the terminal block inside the switch box. To gain access to the terminal block, remove the switch box service panel (door 2).

WARNING

Switch off all power including the unit power supply and backup heater and domestic hot water tank power supply (if applicable) before removing the switch box service panel.

• Fix all cables using cable ties.
- A dedicated power circuit is required for the backup heater.
- Installations equipped with a domestic hot water tank (field supply) require a dedicated power circuit for the booster heater. Please refer to the domestic hot water tank Installation & Owner's Manual. Secure the wiring as shown in the picture below.
- Lay out the electrical wiring so that the front cover does not rise up when doing wiring work and attach the front cover securely.
- Follow the electric wiring diagram for electrical wiring works (the electric wiring diagrams are located on the rear side of door 2.
• Install the wires and fix the cover firmly so that the cover fit in properly.

9.7.3 Precautions on wiring of power supply

  • Use a round crimp-style terminal for connection to the power supply terminal board. In case it cannot be used due to unavoidable reasons, be sure to observe the following instructions.
  • Do not connect different gauge wires to the same power supply terminal. (Loose connections may cause overheating.)
  • When connecting wires of the same gauge, connect them according to the figure below.

  • Use the correct screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws. Small screwdrivers can damage the screw head and prevent appropriate tightening.
    • Over-tightening the terminal screws can damage the screws.
  • Attach a ground fault circuit interrupter and fuse to the power supply line.
  • In wiring, make certain that prescribed wires are used, carry out complete connections, and fix the wires so that outside force cannot affect the terminals.

9.7.4 Safety device requirement

  1. Select the wire diameters( minimum value) individually for each unit based on the table 9-1 and table 9-2, where the rated current in table 9-1 means MCA in table 9-2. In case the MCA exceeds 63A, the wire diameters should be selected according to the national wiring regulation.
  2. Maximum allowable voltage range variation between phases is 2%.
  3. Select circuit breaker that having a contact separation in all poles not less than 3 mm providing full disconnection, where MFA is used to select the current circuit breakers and residual current operation breakers.

CAUTION

1、The cascade function of the system only supports 6 machines at most.
2、In order to ensure the success of automatic addressing, all machines must be connected to the same power supply and powered on uniformly.
3、Only the Master unit can connect the controller, and you must put the SW9 to "on" of the master unit, the slave unit cannot connect the controller.
4、Please use the shielded wire, and the shield layer must be grounded.

When connecting to the power supply terminal, use the circular wiring terminal with the insulation casing (see Figure 9.1).

Use power cord that conforms to the specifications and connect the power cord firmly. To prevent the cord from being pulled out by external force, make sure it is fixed securely.

If circular wiring terminal with the insulation casing cannot be used, please make sure that:

- Do not connect two power cords with different diameters to the same power supply terminal (may cause overheating of wires due to loose wiring) (See Figure 9.2).

There are three methods for connecting the thermostat cable (as described in the picture above) and it depends on the application.
• Method A (Mode set control)
RT can control heating and cooling individually, like the controller for 4-pipe FCU. When the hydraulic module is connected with the external temperature controller, user interface FOR SERVICEMAN set ROOM THERMOSTAT to MODE SET:

A.1 When unit detects voltage is 230VAC between C and L1, the unit operates in the cooling mode.

A.2 When unit detects voltage is 230VAC between H and L1, the unit operates in the heating mode.

A.3 When unit detects voltage is 0VAC for both side(C-L1, H-L1) the unit stop working for space heating or cooling.

A.4 When unit detects voltage is 230VAC for both side(C-L1, H-L1) the unit working in cooling mode.

• Method B (One zone control)

RT provide the switch signal to unit. User interface FOR SERVICEMAN set ROOM THERMOSTAT to ONE ZONE:

B.1 When unit detects voltage is 230VAC between H and L1, unit turns on.

B.2 When unit detects voltage is 0VAC between H and L1, unit turns off.

Method C (Double zone control)

Hydraulic Module is connected with two room thermostat, while user interface FOR SERVICEMAN set ROOM THERMOSTAT to DOUBLE ZONE:

C.1 When unit detects voltage is 230VAC between H and L1, zone1 turns on. When unit detect voltage is 0VAC between H and L1, zone1 turns off.

C.2 When unit detects voltage is 230VAC between C and L1, zone2 turns on according to climate temp curve. When unit detect voltage is 0V between C and L1, zone2 turns off.

C.3 When H-L1 and C-L1 are detected as 0VAC, unit turns off.

There are three methods for connecting the thermostat cable (as described in the picture above) and it depends on the application.

• Method A (Mode set control)

RT can control heating and cooling individually, like the controller for 4-pipe FCU. When the hydraulic module is connected with the external temperature controller, user interface FOR SERVICEMAN set ROOM THERMOSTAT to MODE SET:

A.1 When unit detects voltage is 12VDC between CL and COM, the unit operates in the cooling mode.

A.2 When unit detects voltage is 12VDC between HT and COM, the unit operates in the heating mode.

A.3 When unit detects voltage is 0VDC for both side(CL-COM, HT-COM) the unit stop working for space heating or cooling.

A.4 When unit detects voltage is 12VDC for both side(CL-COM, HT-COM) the unit working in cooling mode.

• Method B (One zone control)

RT provide the switch signal to unit. User interface FOR SERVICEMAN set ROOM THERMOSTAT to ONE ZONE:

B.1 When unit detects voltage is 12VDC between HT and COM, unit turns on.

B.2 When unit detects voltage is 0VDC between HT and COM, unit turns off.

• Method C (Double zone control)

Hydraulic Module is connected with two room thermostat, while user interface FOR SERVICEMAN set ROOM THERMOSTAT to DOUBLE ZONE:

C.1 When unit detects voltage is 12VDC between HT and COM, zone1 turn on. When unit detect voltage is 0VDC between HT and COM, zone1 turn off.

C.2 When unit detects voltage is 12VDC between CL and COM, zone2 turn on according to climate temp curve. When unit detect voltage is 0V between CL and COM, zone2 turn off.

C.3 When HT-COM and CL-COM are detected as 0VDC, unit turn off.

C.4 when HT-COM and CL-COM are detected as 12VDC, both zone1 and zone2 turn on.

NOTE

  • The wiring of the thermostat should correspond to the settings of the user interface. Refer to 10.5.6 "Room Thermostat".
    • Power supply of machine and room thermostat must be connected to the same Neutral Line.
  • When ROOM THERMOSTAT is not set to NON, the indoor temperature sensor Ta can't be set to valid.
  • Zone 2 can only operate in heating mode. When cooling mode is set on user interface and zone1 is OFF, "CL" in zone2 closes, system still keeps 'OFF'. While installation, the wiring of thermostats for zone1 and zone2 must be correct.

a) Procedure

  • Connect the cable to the appropriate terminals as shown in the picture.
  • Fix the cable with cable ties to the cable tie mountings to ensure stress relief.

NOTE

15.12 DFT1/DFT2 ALARM function can be valid only with IDU software version higher than V99.

11 TEST RUN AND FINAL CHECKS

The installer is obliged to verify correct operation of unit after installation.

11.1 Final checks

Before switching on the unit, read following recommendations:

  • When the complete installation and all necessary settings have been carried out, close all front panels of the unit and refit the unit cover.
  • The service panel of the switch box may only be opened by a licensed electrician for maintenance purposes.

NOTE

That during the first running period of the unit, required power input may be higher than stated on the nameplate of the unit. This phenomenon originates from the compressor that needs elapse of a 50 hours run in period before reaching smooth operation and stable power consumption.

11.2 Test run operation (manually)

If required, the installer can perform a manual test run operation at any time to check correct operation of air purge, heating, cooling and domestic water heating, refer to 10.5.11 "Test run".

12 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

In order to ensure optimal availability of the unit, a number of checks and inspections on the unit and the field wiring have to be carried out at regular intervals.

This maintenance needs to be carried out by your local technician.

DANGER

ELECTRIC SHOCK

  • Before carrying out any maintenance or repairing activity, must switch off the power supply on the supply panel.
  • Do not touch any live part for 10 minutes after the power supply is turned off.
  • The crank heater of compressor may operate even in standby.
  • Please note that some sections of the electric component box are hot.
  • Forbid touch any conductive parts.
  • Forbid rinse the unit. It may cause electric shock or fire.
  • Do not leave the unit unattended when service panel is removed.

The following checks must be performed at least once a year by qualified person.

- Water pressure Check the water pressure, if it is below 1 bar, fill water to the system.

• Water filter Clean the water filter.

- Water pressure relief valve Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve by turning the black knob on the valve counter-clockWise:

-If you do not hear a clacking sound, contact your local dealer.

-In case the water keeps running out of the unit, close both the water inlet and outlet shut-off valves first and then contact your local dealer.

- Pressure relief valve hose Check that the pressure relief valve hose is positioned appropriately to drain the water.

- Backup heater vessel insulation cover Check that the backup heater insulation cover is fastened tightly around the backup heater vessel.

- Domestic hot water tank pressure relief valve (field supply) Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank. Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve on the domestic hot water tank.

- Domestic hot water tank booster heater Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank. It is advisable to remove lime buildup on the booster heater to extend its life span, especially in regions with hard water. To do so, drain the domestic hot water tank, remove the booster heater from the domestic hot water tank and immerse in a bucket (or similar) with lime-removing product for 24 hours.

- Unit switch box -Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the switch box and look for obvious defects such as loose connections or defective wiring.

-Check for correct operation of contactors with an ohm meter. All contacts of these contactors must be in open position.

- Use of glycol (Refer to 9.4.4 "Water circuit anti-freeze protection") Document the glycol concentration and the pH-value in the system at least once a year.

-A PH-value below 8.0 indicates that a significant portion of the inhibitor has been depleted and that more inhibitor needs to be added.

- -When the PH-value is below 7.0 then oxidation of the glycol can occur, the system should be drained and flushed thoroughly before severe damage occurs.

Make sure that the disposal of the glycol solution is done in accordance with relevant local laws and regulations.

13 TROUBLE SHOOTING

This section provides useful information for diagnosing and correcting certain troubles which may occur in the unit.

This troubleshooting and related corrective actions may only be carried out by your local technician.

13.1 General guidelines

Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, carry out a thorough visual inspection of the unit and look for obvious defects such as loose connections or defective wiring.

WARNING

When carrying out an inspection on the switch box of the unit, always make sure that the main switch of the unit is switched off.

When a safety device was activated, stop the unit and find out why the safety device was activated before resetting it. Under no circumstances can safety devices be bridged or changed to a valve other than the factory setting. If the cause of the problem cannot be found, call your local dealer.

If the pressure relief valve is not working correctly and is to be replaced, always reconnect the flexible hose attached to the pressure relief valve to avoid water dripping out of the unit!

NOTE

For problems related to the optional solar kit for domestic water heating, refer to the troubleshooting in the Installation and owner's manual for that kit.

13.2 General symptoms

Symptom 1: The unit is turned on but the unit is not heating or cooling as expected

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
The temperature setting is not correct.Check the parameters.T4HMAX,T4HMIN in heat mode.T4CMAX,T4CMIN in cool mode.T4DHWMAX,T4DHWMIN in DHW mode.
The water flow is too low.Check that all shut off valves of the water circuit are in the right position.Check if the water filter is plugged.Make sure there is no air in the water system.Check the water pressure.The water pressure must be>1 bar (water is cold).Make sure that the expansion vessel is not broken.Check that the resistance in the water circuit is not too high for the pump.
The water volume in the installation is too low.Make sure that the water volume in the installation is above the minimum required value (refer to "9.4.2 Water volume and sizing expansion vessels").

Symptom 2: The unit is turned on but the compressor is not starting (space heating or domestic water heating)

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
The unit maybe operate out of its operation range (the water temperature is too low).In case of low water temperature, the system utilizes the backup heater to reach the minimum water temperature first ( 12^ ).Check that the backup heater power supply is correct.Check that the backup heater thermal fuse is closed.Check that the backup heater thermal protector is not activated.Check that the backup heater contactors are not broken.

Symptom 3: Pump is making noise (cavitation)

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECT VE ACTION
There is air in the system. Purge air.
Water pressure at pump inlet is too low.Check the water pressure.The water pressure must be > 1 bar (water is cold).Check that the expansion vessel is not broken.Check that the setting of the pre- pressure of the expansion vessel is correct (refer to "9.4.2 Water volume and sizing expansion vessels").

Symptom 4: The water pressure relief valve opens

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
The expansion vessel is broken. Replace the expansion vessel.
The filling water pressure in the installation is higher than 0.3MPa.Make sure that the filling water pressure in the installation is about 0.10~0.20MPa (refer to "9.4.2 Water volume and sizing expansion vessels").

Symptom 5: The water pressure relief valve leaks

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Dirt is blocking the water pressure relief valve outlet.Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve by turning the red knob on the valve counter clockWise:If you do not hear a clacking sound, contact your local dealer.In case the water keeps running out of the unit, close both the water inlet and outlet shut-off valves first and then contact your local dealer.

Symptom 6: Space heating capacity shortage at low outdoor temperatures

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Backup heater operation is not activated.Check that the "OTHER HEATING SOURCE/ BACKUP HEATER"is enabled, see "10.5 Field settings" Check whether or not the thermal protector of the backup heater has been activated (refer to "Controls parts for backup heater(IBH)". Check if booster heater is running, the backup heater and booster heater can't operate simultaneously.
Too much heat pump capacity is used for heating domestic hot water (applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank).Check that the "t_DHWHP_MAX" and "t_DHWHP_RESTRICT" are configured appropriately:Make sure that the "DHW PRIORITY" in the user interface is disabled.Enable the "T4_TBH_ON" in the user interface/FOR SERVICEMAN to activate the booster heater for domestic water heating.

Symptom 7: Heat mode can't change to DHW mode immediately

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Volume of tank is too small and the location of water temperature probe not high enoughSet "dT1S5" to maximum value, and set "t_DHWHP_RESTRICT" to minimum value.Set dT1SH to 2°C.Enable TBH, and TBH should be controlled by the outdoor unit.If AHS is available, turn on first, if requirement for turn heat pump on is fulfilled, the heat pump will turn on.If both TBH and AHS are not available, try to change the position of T5 probe(refer to 2 "General introduction").

Symptom 8: DHW mode can't change to Heat mode immediately

POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Heat exchanger for space heating not big enoughSet "t_DHWHP_MAX" to minimum value, the suggested value is 60min.If circulating pump out of unit is not controlled by unit, try to connect it to the unit.Add 3-way valve at the inlet of fan coil to ensure enough water flow.
Space heating load is smallNormal, no need for heating
Disinfect function is enabled but without TBHDisable disinfect functionadd TBH or AHS for DHW mode
Manual turn on the FAST WATER function, after the hot water meets the requirements, the heat pump fails to switch to the air-conditioning mode in time when the air conditioner is in demandManual turn off the FAST WATER function
When the ambient temperature is low, the hot water is not enough and the AHS is not operated or operated lateSet "T4DHWMIN", the suggested value is ≥ -5°CSet "T4_TBH_ON", the suggested value is ≥ 5°C
DHW mode priorityIf there is AHS or IBH connect to the unit, when the outdoor unit failed, the hydraulic module board must run DHW mode till the water temperature reach the setting temperature before change to heating mode.

Symptom 9: DHW mode heat pump stop work but setpoint not reached, space heating require heat but unit stay in DHW mode

POSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTIVE ACTION
Surface of coil in the tank not large enoughThe same solution for Symptom 7
TBH or AHS not availableHeat pump will stay in DHW mode until "t_DHWHP_MAX" reached or setpoint is reached. Add TBH or AHS for DHW mode,TBH and AHS should be controlled by the unit.

15 INFORMATION SERVICING

1) Checks to the area

Prior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.

2) Work procedure

Works shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or vapour being present while the work is being performed.

3) General work area

All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. work in confined sapces shall be avoided. The area around the work space shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.

4) Checking for presence of refrigerant

The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. no sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.

5) Presence of fire extinguisher

If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry power or CO_2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

6) No ignition sources

No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system which involves exposing any pipe work that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. NO SMOKING signs shall be displayed.

7) Ventilated area

Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

8) Checks to the refrigeration equipment

Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants.

• The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed.
• The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed.
- If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuits shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant; marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible.
- Marking and signs that are illegible shall be corrected.
- Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.

9) Checks to electrical devices

Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, and adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.

Initial safety checks shall include:

  • That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking.
  • That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system.
    • That there is continuity of earth bonding.

10) Repairs to sealed components

a) During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
b) Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.

- Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely.

- Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

NOTE

The use of silicon sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Instrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.

11) Repair to intrinsically safe components

Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.

12) Cabling

Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

13) Detection of flammable refrigerants

Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.

14) Leak detection methods

The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration.(Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected ,all naked flames shall be removed or extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated(by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak . Oxygen free nitrogen(OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.

15) Removal and evacuation

When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs of for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used, However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:

  • Remove refrigerant;
    • Purge the circuit with inert gas;
  • Evacuate;
    • Purge again with inert gas;
  • Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.

The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times.

Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.

Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system.

When the final OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.

This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe-work are to take place.

Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not closed to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.

16) Charging procedures

In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed:

  • Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
    • Cylinders shall be kept upright.
  • Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
  • Label the system when charging is complete(if not already).
    • Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system.
  • Prior to recharging the system it shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.

17) Decommissioning

Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken.

In case analysis is required prior to re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.

a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.

b) Isolate system electrically

c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that:

  • Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders.
  • All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly.
    • The recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person.
    • Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.

d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.

e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.

f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.

g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80% volume liquid charge).

i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.

j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.

k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.

18) Labelling

Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

19) Recovery

When removing refrigerant from a system, either for service or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.

When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct numbers of cylinders for holding the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant(i.e special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order.

Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.

The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighting scales shall be available and in good working order.

Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.

The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.

If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

20) Transportation, marking and storage for units

Transport of equipment containing flammable refrigerants Compliance with the transport regulations.

Marking of equipment using signs Compliance with local regulations.
