2 Product description

The RoCon mb controller is part of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O.
It consists of the RoCon BM1 printed circuit board, to which the actuators, sensors and further components of the Daikin RoCon regulating system are connected, and the RoCon B1 control panel.
In this instruction manual we explain just the functions and setting possibilities of the control unit. More detailed information on the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O and other device components can be found in the other applicable documents.
Depending on heater unit, the electronic, digital controller automatically regulates all heating, cooling and hot water functions for a direct heating circuit, a storage tank charging circuit and, via mixer modules that can be optionally connected, also further heating circuits.
It undertakes all safety management for the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O. This executes a safety switch-off in the event of a water shortage or undefined operating states. A corresponding error message shows the operator all the information for fault causes.
All function settings for the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O and the optional RoCon devices that are connected via the data bus are undertaken with the controls of the integrated RoCon B1 control panel and shown on the plain text display with coloured backlighting.
The following additional, optional devices can be connected to the Daikin Altherma M ECHO via the controller data bus:
– EHS157034 room station.
– EHS157068 mixer module.
In addition, the RoCon mb controller has a frost protection function for the direct heating circuit and the storage tank charging circuit as well as an automatic function for heating support (integration of an additional heat source such as a wood-burning boiler or solar system).
The potential-free AUX switching contact can be used to carry out different control functions in conjunction with external devices (demand from an external heat generator, switching to bivalent operating mode, external status display, etc.).
Several inputs for evaluating external control contacts are also available (external operating mode switching or heat request, Smart Grid and off-peak EVU functions ^1 ).
1) Utility company (EVU) outputs signals that are used to control power grid capacity utilisation and influence the electricity price and availability.
With the optional EKRSC1 outside temperature sensor that is installed on the north side of the building, weather-dependent T-HS control can be further optimised.
If the optional EHS157056 gateway is installed and connected to the Internet, the Daikin Altherma M ECHO can be conveniently monitored and operated by remote control using a mobile phone (app).
The RoCon mb control unit contains a timer which can be used to set:
- 2 individual adjustable switching time programs ^2) for room heating and room cooling (direct heating circuit),
- 2 individually-adjustable timer programs for hot water generation,
- 1 individually-adjustable timer program for an optional circulation pump.
2) Use of the switching time programs for room cooling only in combination with a connected room thermostat
Initial commissioning of the heating system is described in the installation instructions for the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O.
Certain menu items of the RoCon mb control unit are only accessible for the heating expert. This security measure ensures that no undesirable malfunctions arise during operation of the system through incorrect settings.
The EHS157034 room station has the same user interface as the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O's integrated RoCon B1 control panel.
All settings for the allocated heating circuit can be carried out in the same way as the operating unit. With activated terminal function, all operating possibilities that are available on the integrated operating unit are available, with the exception of certain special functions (e.g. Manual Operation).
After corresponding assignment, a connected EHS157068 mixer module is also operated using the RoCon B1 control panel and/or the EHS157034 room station.
3 Operation
3.1 General

DANGER!
If electrical components come into contact with water, this can cause an electric shock as well as cause potentially fatal burns or injuries.
- The displays and the keys of the control unit must be protected against the effects of moisture.
- To clean the control unit, use a dry cotton cloth. Using aggressive cleaning agents and other fluids can cause damage to devices or lead to an electric shock.

Maximum energy exploitation
The Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O makes the most effective use of energy at the lowest possible return and target hot water temperature.
If an external heat generator (e.g. the optional backup heater) is activated at target feed temperatures over 50 °C, the efficiency (COP) of the Daikin Altherma M ECHO can deteriorate (depending on the outside temperature).

3.4 Basic functions and operating modes

If the storage tank temperature falls below specific minimum values, the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O's safety settings prevent the heat pump from being operated at low outside temperatures:
- Outside temperature < -2 °C, minimum storage tank temperature = 30 °C
- Outside temperature < 12^ , minimum storage tank temperature = 23^ .
Without backup heater:
The storage tank water must be heated to the required minimum storage tank temperature with an external heater booster.
With backup heater (EKBUxx):
At an outside temperature of < 12^ and a storage tank temperature of < 35^ , the backup heater (EKBUxx) is automatically switched on to heat the storage tank water to at least 35^ .
- To speed up the heating process with backup heater, temporarily set
- parameter [Function Heating Rod] = "1" and
- parameter [Power DHW] to the maximum value of the backup heater.
- Set the rotary switch to operating mode, and set the parameter [1x Hot Water] to "On".
Automatic defrost function
At low outdoor temperatures and corresponding humidity, the heat pump outdoor unit may ice up. This icing impairs efficient operation. The system detects this status automatically and starts the defrost function.
While the defrost function is active, heat is drawn from the hot water storage tank, and the backup heater is activated if necessary. Depending on the heat required for the defrost function, heating the direct heating circuit may be temporarily interrupted during the defrosting process.
After a maximum of 8 minutes, the system switches back to normal operation.
3.4.1 System information (Info)
In this rotary switch position, the rotary button can be used to query all system temperatures, the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O type, various software information and the operating states of all system components in succession. The number of displayed parameters depends on which components are connected.
No adjustments can be made to these values.
- Set the rotary switch to the "Info" ⓘ position.
→ Standard display is shown (see fig. 3-2). - Press the rotary button briefly.
→ Parameter overview is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the desired information level.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ Value is displayed (example, see fig. 3-6). - Use the rotary button to select the individual information.
Further explanations on, and possible display values for, this rotary switch position can be found in tab. 3-5 and chap. 6.10.

At low return flow temperatures and with glycol in the system, only "ffff" is displayed as the volumetric flow, no current value.
3 Operation
Displaying the water pressure
On the RoCon mb control unit, the system pressure (water pressure) of the internal circuit (direct heating circuit) can be displayed when it is switched on. The water pressure is the first info parameter available after the operating data overview (see fig. 3-6).
The permissible water pressure range during operation is dependent on the Daikin Altherma M ECHO and the heating system. The target values and thresholds may only be set by the heating expert. If the water pressure drops below the minimum value (set parameter value), it must be increased by topping up the system (see Daikin Altherma M ECHO installation instructions, chapter entitled "Inspection and maintenance").

The pressure limits for safety shut-off and the target pressure can be set in the parameter setting on the "System Configuration" level.

Fig. 3-7 Changing the operating mode (e.g. from "Standby" to "Automatic 1")
- Set the rotary switch to the "Operating Mode" ⏻... Position.
→ An overview is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the required operating mode.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O operates according to the set operating mode.
→ The current operating mode is indicated by an appropriate symbol on the standard display.
Operating mode Standby (Stand-by)

CAUTION!
A heating system that is not protected against frost can freeze in the event of frost and thus be damaged.
- Add glycol to the heating water circuit (see installation and maintenance instructions)
- Alternatively, drain the heating system on the water side if there is a danger of frost.
- If the heating system is not drained, the power supply must be ensured and the external main switch must remain switched on if there is a danger of frost.
In this operating mode, the Daikin Altherma M ECHO is switched to Stand-by mode. The frost protection function (see chap. 3.6.5) is maintained. In order to maintain this function, the system may not be disconnected from the mains.
All controllers integrated in the RoCon system via the CAN bus are primarily also switched to the "Standby" operating mode.

Fig. 3-8 Standard display in the "Standby" operating mode (above the frost limit temperature)
Operating mode Reducing
Reduced heating mode (lower target room temperature) according to the target feed temperature set for reducing mode in the parameter [T-Reduced] (see chap. 3.4.4).
Hot water preparation according to the set target hot water temperatures and switching cycles in the hot water time program [DHW Program 1] (see chap. 3.4.5).
Heating, Cooling
Heating, cooling mode according to the target room temperature set in the parameter [T-Room 1 Setpoint] (see chap. 3.4.3).
A connected outside temperature sensor (weather-dependent T-HS control) or a connected room station also influence the target feed temperature (prerequisite: parameter [HC Function] = On).
Hot water preparation according to the set target hot water temperatures and switching cycles in the hot water time program [DHW Program 1] (see chap. 3.4.5).
Operating mode Summer
Hot water preparation according to the set target hot water temperatures and switching cycles in the hot water time program [DHW Program 1] (see chap. 3.4.5).
All controllers integrated in the RoCon system via the CAN bus are primarily also switched to the "Summer" operating mode.
Operating mode Automatic 1 (time program)
Automatic heating and setback mode according to the permanent time programs (see chap. 3.4.7):
- [HC Program 1]
- [DHW Program 1]
Operating mode Automatic 2 (time program)
Automatic heating and setback mode according to the permanent time programs (see chap. 3.4.7):
- [HC Program 2]
- [DHW Program 2]

If the hot water readiness is in setback mode in the active operating mode, a temporary "DHW Reheating" can be set with the rotary switch setting without having to change other standard settings (see 3.4.6).

Switching contact for external operating mode switch-over
A potential-free switching contact connected via Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O connection J8 at the "EXT" terminals and wired with a resistor can also be used to switch the operating mode from an external device (e.g. modem, ...).
In this case, the switching contact functionality is dependent on the parameter [Function BSC]:
- [Function BSC] = 0 (default setting): evaluation of the resistance values (see tab. 3-6)
- [Function BSC] = 1: evaluation as a burner blocking contact. If the switching contact is closed, the external heat generator has priority.
| Operating mode | Resistance | Tolerance |
| Standby | < 680 Ω | ±5 % |
| Heating | 1200 Ω | |
| Reducing | 1800 Ω | |
| Summer | 2700 Ω | |
| Automatic 1 | 4700 Ω | |
| Automatic 2 | 8200 Ω |
Tab. 3-6 Resistance values for evaluating the EXT signal

The resistances specified in tab. 3-6 function in a tolerance field of 5%. Resistances outside this tolerance field are interpreted as an open input. The heat generator switches back to the previously active operating
mode.
The input is not considered for resistance values greater than the value for "Automatic 2".
If several switching contacts are to be connected to the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O (e.g. Smart Grid, room thermostat), the related functions may have a higher priority than external operating mode switch-over. The operating mode requested by the EXT switching contact is then possibly not activated, or is only activated later.
Besides these operating modes, different temporary heating programs (see tab. 3-7) are available that are carried out with priority after activation.

→ The unscheduled hot water generation starts.

After this temporary function has elapsed, the control unit automatically jumps back to the previously active operating mode. The rotary switch should therefore be brought back into the "Info" ⓘ position after the
function has been activated.
The function is subject to time limitations.
At the latest, it is cancelled after the maximum loading time set in the parameter [Max DHW loading time], and can be restarted at the earliest after the blocking time set in the parameter [DHW Off Time] has expired (see chap. 6.2.4).
Detailed explanations and possible setting values for this rotary switch setting can be found in chap. 6.3.
3.4.7 Switching time program

After an interim disconnection from the power supply, the display always appears at the "Remote Param" level, as shown in fig. 3-9.
To be able to use the terminal function for connected devices, a repeat Bus - Scan must be carried out.
Communication between the RoCon system components also continues to function without a Bus - Scan, and previously undertaken settings remain active.
The terminal function is activated as shown in fig. 3-10, but after confirmation of the "Bus - Scan" display, the [New scan?] parameter must be selected with the rotary button and confirmed with "Yes".
3.4.10 Operation with glycol
Frost can damage the system. To prevent the hydraulic components from freezing, the software is equipped with special frost protection functions, that include the activation of pump, internal heaters, and/or backup heater operation in case of low temperatures.
However, in case of a power failure, these functions cannot guarantee protection. It is therefore recommended to add glycol to the water circuit. To do this, observe the installation and maintenance instructions.
If glycol has been added to the system, the RoCon controller setting must be adapted accordingly.
- Set the rotary switch to the "Configuration" position.
→ An overview is displayed.
- Use the rotary button to select the "Setup" level.
→ An overview is displayed.
- Use the rotary button to select the [Glycol] parameter.
- Change the parameter if desired.

3.4.11 Whisper mode
Whisper mode means that the heat pump outdoor unit operates at reduced output. This reduces the operating noise generated by the heat pump outdoor unit.

CAUTION!
During active whisper mode, the output in room heating and room cooling mode decreases such that it may no longer be possible to achieve pre-set target temperature values.
- With outside temperatures below freezing, there is a risk of material damage caused by frost.

→ Change has been accepted. Jump back to previous display.
Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.2.
3.4.12 Smart Grid (SG)

WARNING!
There is a danger of scalding at target hot water temperatures over 60 °C. This is possible, as the utility company (EVU) is entitled to control current draw optimised according to supply and demand in the definitions for Smart Grid.
Due to such forced charging, the target hot water temperature in the hot water storage tank can exceed 60 °C.
This storage tank charging is carried out even when "Standby" operating mode is set.
- Install scald protection in the hot water distribution line (e.g. VTA32 + Screw set
A special electricity meter with SG receiver, to which the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O must be connected, is required to use this function.
As soon as the function is activated by the parameter [SMART GRID] = 1, the heat pump is set to an operating mode as per tab. 3-10 depending on the utility company signal.

Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.1.
3.4.13 EHS emergency operation
If the heat pump fails, the backup heater can be used as emergency heating, and can undertake all heating requirements either automatically or non-automatically.

Activation of emergency automatic operation ensures that heating and hot water requirements are reliably met even if the heat pump fails. However, the risk is run that the user only notices the system malfunction after a certain time, and that electricity consumption is thus increased.
If emergency automatic operation is deactivated (default setting), it must be activated as described below to meet heating and hot water requirements in the event that the outdoor unit fails.
Activating / deactivating emergency automatic operation
- Set the rotary switch to the "Configuration" position.
→ An overview is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the "Setup" level.

3.5.1 Manual operation
Manual operation is used to manually control the Daikin Altherma _2 MEc specific feed temperature. Manual operation should only be used for diagnostic purposes.
With hydraulically controlled priority operation for hot water preparation, it must be ensured that the target feed temperature set in manual mode is sufficient to achieve the stored target hot water temperature (parameter [T-DHW Setpoint 1]).
- Push the Exit button for at least 5 s.
→ Menu "Special Level" is displayed.
- Use the rotary button to select the "Manual Operation" program.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ "Manual Operation" is active.
- Use the rotary button to set the target feed temperature.

Do not confirm this setting with the rotary button, as the program is otherwise ended.
→ During active manual mode, the storage tank temperature is permanently regulated to the first target hot water temperature parameter value ([T-DHW Setpoint 1]).
The key lock (if it was activated prior to the start of this function) is reactivated within 2 s to prevent undesired cancellation of the function through operation of the RoCon mb controller.
• Cancellation and jump back by:
- pressing the Exit key again or
- touching the rotary button or
- selecting another menu using the rotary switch.
→ If manual operation is ended, the RoCon mb control unit automatically switches to "Standby" operating mode.

3.5.2 3-way switching valves reference travel
The positions of the two 3-way switch valves 3UVB1 and 3UV DHW in the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O are controlled continuously between their two basic settings for optimised energy utilisation (e.g. heating support function).
To ensure this function, the two 3-way switch valves are always moved automatically to their basic position (bypass - path AB-A open) at 11:00 hours.
This function can take up to 5 minutes. It is programmed as standard and cannot be changed.
3.6 Special system settings
The RoCon mb controller is already basically configured for the Daikin Altherma M ECHO. However, it must still be adapted to optionally connected accessories and the installation environment during initial commissioning.
The adjustment is carried out by setting the parameters in the "Configuration" rotary switch setting.
The next lowest level can be accessed or the respective parameter directly accessed by navigation with the rotary button.
3.6.1 Access rights (technician code)
Certain settings in the control unit are limited by access rights. To receive access to these parameters, the technician code must be entered at the "Setup" level.
Fig. 3-13 shows the basic procedure for entering the access code. The expert company receives the technician code in a separate letter.

3.6.2 Heat slope

Caution - Risk of overheating of floor heating!
In the event of malfunction or during manual operation, the floor heating, the screed or the floor structure could be damaged due to overheating.
- Prior to initial commissioning of the floor heating system, set the maximum temperature limit in the RoCon mb controller (parameter [T vbh1 max]) and the maximum permissible system temperature (parameter [Max T-Flow]).
- Connect an overheating protection switch (in the building) at the "EXT" plug connection to external operating mode switch-over so that the Daikin Altherma _2 ME Switched to "Standby" or "Summer" operating mode (see chap. 3.4.2).
With parameter [Room thermostat] = On or parameter [Interlink fct] = On, the overheating protection switch must be connected so that the room thermostat's switching contact is interrupted.
- If the floor heating is also used for room cooling, the connection notes in the above point also apply to the connection of a moisture protection switch in the building.
The heat slope is used to adjust the target feed temperature to the characteristics of the building depending on the respective outside temperature (weather-dependent T-HS control, see chap. 3.6.4). Generally speaking, the steepness of the heating slope describes the ratio of the T-HS change to the external temperature change.
The heat slope is valid within the limits of the minimum and maximum temperatures set for the respective heating circuit. Deviations may occur between the room temperature measured in the occupied area and the desired room temperature; these can be minimised by installing a room station or a room thermostat.
The control unit is set at the factory in such a way that the heat slope does not independently adjust itself during operation.
Automatic heat slope adaptation can be activated (parameter [HC Adaption]), if the room station (EHS157034) is connected (see chap. 3.6.4).
Start conditions for automatic heat slope adjustment:
- Outside temperature < 8^
- Operating mode is automatic (I or II)
– Duration of the setback period is at least 6 h
If no automatic heat slope adjustment is activated, the heat slope can be manually adjusted by adjusting the [Heat-Slope] parameter).

Manually adjusting the heat slope
Do not make any corrections to the set values for 1 - 2 days, and then only make them in small increments.
- Deactivate the external heat sources (e.g. stoves, direct sunlight, open windows).
- Fully open any radiator thermostat valves or actuators.
- Activate "Heating" operating mode.
Approximate setting values:
- Radiators: 1.4 to 1.6.
– Floor heating: 0.5 to 0.9.

3.6.3 Cooling slope

Caution - risk of condensation!
In the event of malfunction or incorrect parameter settings, the floor heating, the screed or the floor structure could be damaged due to condensation.
- Prior to initial commissioning and activation of cooling mode, set the minimum temperature limit to the minimum permissible system temperature in the RoCon mb controller (parameter [Min T-Flow Cooling]).
The cooling slope is used to adjust the target feed temperature to the characteristics of the building depending on the respective outside temperature (weather-dependent T-HS control, see chap. 3.6.4). Warmer outside temperatures result in a colder target feed temperature and vice versa.
Prerequisites for cooling mode:
- Outside temperature > set target room temperature value
- Outside temperature > set value of the parameter [Start T-Out Cooling]
- "Cooling" operating mode activated.
a) Via rotary switch in "Operating Mode" ⏻... position or b) via room thermostat function (cooling ⚙️ switching contact closed)
- No heat request active in the heating system's RoCon system.
The cooling slope is defined through the four following parameters:
- [Start T-Out Cooling]
- [Max T-Out Cooling]
- [T-Flow Cooling start]
- [T-Flow Cooling max]
During weather-dependent T-HS control, the user can increase or decrease the target feed temperature by a maximum of 5 K with the parameter [Cooling Setpoint adj]. A temperature reduction is limited by the parameter [Min T-Flow Cooling].

Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.3.

If the mean outside temperature falls below 4 °C when "Cooling" operating mode is active, the operating mode automatically switches to "Heating".
Renewed automatic operating mode switching to "Cooling" only takes place:
- if a room thermostat is connected to plug connection J16 (cooling ⚙️) and
– the room thermostat's switching contact is closed and - the mean outside temperature increases to over 10^ again.
3.6.4 Weather-dependent T-HS control
When weather-dependent T-HS control is active, the target feed temperature (see info parameter [T-HS Setpoint], chap. 6.10) is automatically determined according to the set heat/cooling slope depending on the outside temperature.
This function is activated in delivery condition. It can only be deactivated (fixed value control) or reactivated with a technician code.
With the optional EKRSC1 outside temperature sensor that is installed on the north side of the building, weather-dependent T-HS control can be further optimised. If no EKRSC1 is installed, the RoCon mb controller uses the outside temperature value measured at the heat pump outdoor unit.
If the room station (EHS157034) is additionally connected to the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O, the target feed temperatures are controlled depending on the weather and room temperature (see tab. 6-3 / tab. 6-16, parameter [Room Influence]).
The activation or deactivation of this function is takes place via the [HC Function] parameter in the "Configuration" rotary switch setting at the "HC Configuration" level.
- [HC Function] parameter = 0: Weather-dependent T-HS control
- Parameter [HC Function] = 1: control according to fixed target feed temperature
- For heating mode: parameter [T-Flow Day] or parameter [T-Flow Night]
- For cooling mode: parameter [T-Flow Cooling]

Weather-dependent T-HS control has no influence on the target feed temperature in the case of a hot water circuit request.
With connected mixer module M1
Setting of the heat/cooling slopes and the activation of weather-dependent T-HS control for the assigned heating circuit are carried out in the same way as described above.
The assigned heating circuit can be operated as a:
a) Mixer add-on
The outside temperature of the outside temperature sensor connected to the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O is transmitted to the mixer module via the CAN bus.
or as a
b) Mixer add-on with zone control
A separate outside temperature sensor must be connected (EKRSC1) to the mixer module. The assigned heating circuit is controlled according to the outside temperature relevant to this zone.
With activated terminal function, the mixer module can be operated and the settings for the assigned heating circuit undertaken via the RoCon B1 control panel of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O.
In combination with the EHS157034 room station, the mixer module can also control the assigned heating circuit completely independently and irrespective of the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O.

If, in the rotary switch position, the message "n.A." is displayed, no valid terminal address has been assigned to the control unit yet.
If the "n.A." message is still displayed, it may be necessary to update the device software in order to use the terminal function. Contact the Daikin Service Team for this.
More detailed explanations and possible setting values for this function can be found in chapters 6.2.3 and 6.13.2.
3.6.5 Frost protection function
The integrated heating circulation pump is switched on at an outside temperature below the [T-Frost Protect] parameter value in order to prevent the heating system from freezing.
In addition, the flow, storage and connected room temperature sensors are also constantly monitored. If the measured temperature at one of these sensors falls to less than 7 °C (less than 5 °C at room temperature), the antifreeze function is also activated.
If the antifreeze function is active, the display of the RoCon mb control unit displays the symbol next to the time on the standard display.
If the heating feed temperature falls below 7 °C, the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O heats until the heating feed temperature reaches at least 12 °C.
The function is ended if the outside temperature rises above the set [and also protected] parameter value + 1 other activation condition.

If off-peak functions are activated;
-Parameter [HT/NT Function] = 3
or
-parameter [SMART GRID] = 1,
operation of the heat pump can be shut off completely for a limited period of time by the utility company. In these cases, regulation is not possible even in frost protection conditions, and the device's internal heating circulation pump is not switched on.
These situations are recognisable if the "Overview" information level's (see chap. 3.4.1) "Ext" operating data field displays the value "HT" or "SG1".
3.6.6 Interlink function

CAUTION!
Unsuitable feed temperatures can cause damage to the floor heating system or dew formation on cooling surfaces.
- Limit target feed temperatures to suitable temperature ranges.
- Design heat distribution areas with different design temperatures as hydraulically separate heating circuits.
If necessary, design heating circuits with limited target feed temperatures as mixer circuits, and regulate with a mixer module.
Setting the parameter [Interlink fct] = On enables the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O to include two different target feed temperature values in control.
This applies to both weather-dependent control and in the case of control according to a fixed target feed temperature (see chap. 3.6.4).
One possible application is e.g. the additional integration of an FWXV-ATV3 in a surface heating and cooling system.
Prerequisite: 2 switching contacts are connected to Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O plug connection J16 (e.g. room thermostats).
- Parameter [Interlink fct] = Off: deactivated
- Parameter [Interlink fct] = On: evaluation of the heating and cooling ※ switching contacts at plug connection J16 on the RoCon BM1 printed circuit board.
Activation of cooling mode only by switching the operating mode to "Cooling" (see chap. 3.4.2).
Setting of the parameter [Room thermostat] is no longer evaluated.
a) Open switching contacts: only frost protection active
b) "Heating" or "Automatic 1" / "Automatic 2" operating mode active during the switching cycles in day mode.
- Closed heating ③ switching contact = IL1:
→ The system is regulated to the normal target feed temperature as per the parameter settings in the "HC Configuration" > "Heating" level.
- Closed cooling ⚙️ switching contact = IL2:
→ The system is regulated to the increased target feed temperature (normal target feed temperature + value of the parameter [T-Flow CH adj]. Priority if both switching contacts are closed!
c) "Cooling" operating mode active.
- Closed heating ③ switching contact = IL1:
→ The system is regulated to the normal target feed temperature as per the parameter settings in the "HC Configuration" > "Cooling" level.
- Closed cooling ⚙️ switching contact = IL2:
→ The system is regulated to the reduced target feed temperature (normal target feed temperature - value of the parameter [T-Flow Cooling adj]. Priority if both switching contacts are closed!
Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.1.
3.6.7 Additional alternative heat generator
The heat supplied by an alternative WEZ must be fed to the unpressurised storage tank water in the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O hot water storage tank.
- On use of the optional EKBUxx backup heater, this is carried out due to the design installation situation.
– On use of an alternative WEZ (e.g. gas- or oil-fired boiler), this can be hydraulically integrated
a) unpressurised via the connections (solar feed and solar return) of the hot water storage tank or
b) in the case of EKHWMXB... device types, via the integrated pressurised solar system heat exchanger.
The parameter [Function Heating Rod] setting is used to define whether any additional heat generator (WEZ) is available for hot water preparation and heating support, and which.
- 0: no additional WEZ
- 1: optional EKBUxx backup heater (connection via connector XBUH1)
- 2: alternative WEZ undertakes hot water preparation and heating support. To request the WEZ, relay K3 on printed circuit board RTX-EHS is switched.
- 3: alternative WEZ 1 (optional EKBUxx backup heater) undertakes hot water preparation and alternative WEZ 2 undertakes heating support. To request WEZ 1, relay K3, and to request WEZ 2, relay K1, on printed circuit board RTX-EHS is switched respectively. Observe warning notice!
The function of an additional alternative WEZ is also influenced by the settings of parameter [Equilibrium Func.] (see chap. 6.2.1) and parameter [Equilibrium Temp] (see chap. 6.2.2).
Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.1.
3.6.8 Heating support
If the heating support function (parameter [HZU] = On ) is activated, the energy in the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O's integrated storage tank is used to undertake the heating function. At a sufficiently high storage tank temperature, the heat pump (refrigerant circuit) remains deactivated.
The minimum value ( T_HZUmin ) is calculated as follows:
T_HZUmin = currently active hot water target temperature [T-DHW Setpoint] + [TDiff-DHW CH Support] parameter.
Switch-on condition:
Tdhw > T_HZUmin + 4 K and Tdhw > [T-HS Setpoint] info parameter + 1 K
If the switch-on condition is fulfilled, heat is taken from the storage tank and this is used to supply the heating system.
Switch-off condition:
Tdhw < T _HZUmin or Tdhw < [T-HS Setpoint] info parameter (see chap. 3.6.4)
If the switch-off condition is met, heating support from the hot water storage tank is ceased, and the heat pump takes over heating operation.
The [Power BIV] parameter limits the maximum power that can be removed. The [T vbh1 max] parameter limits the maximum temperature that can enter the heating system.
Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.2.
3.6.9 Special function: switching contacts
By setting the [AUX Fct] parameter, the switching conditions for the potential-free AUX switching contact (toggle switch output A). This switching contact can be used to control an external heat generator, for example.
If one of the switching conditions is fulfilled, the potential-free switching contact is switched after the time set in the [AUX time] parameter.
AUX switching contact (toggle switch output A) is not switched if setting =
0: function deactivated.
AUX switching contact (toggle switch output A) is switched if setting =
1: if storage tank temperature (Tdhw) ≥ value of parameter [T-DHW 1 min].
2: if a cooling request or heating request is present.
3: if a hot water request to the backup heater (EKBUxx) is present or the configured backup heater is requested for heating support.
4: if an error is pending.
5: if the sensor value (TVBH) is > 60 °C.
6: if the outside temperature is < parameter value [Equilibrium Temp].
→ Heat pump continues to operate = parallel bi-valence mode.
7: if the outside temperature is < parameter value [Equilibrium Temp] + a heating request or a hot water request is present.
→ Heat pump does not continue to operate = alternative bivalence mode.
8: if a hot water request is present.
9: if the outside temperature is < parameter value [Equilibrium Temp] + heat request "room heating" (not for hot water request). Heat pump no longer operates in room heating mode below the value set in the parameter [Equilibrium Temp] - only in hot water mode.
Application: alternative room heating bi-valence mode if the boiler is hydraulically integrated so that it directly heats the unpressurised storage tank water of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O (connection via solar connections).
10: "multi-oil" - if the outside temperature is < parameter value [Equilibrium Temp] + heat request "room heating" (not for hot water request). Heat pump no longer operates in room heating mode below the value set in the parameter [Equilibrium Temp] - only in hot water mode.
Application: alternative room heating bi-valence mode if the boiler is hydraulically integrated in the heat pump feed. For this application type, the frost protection function must be deactivated on the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O (parameter [T-Frost Protect] = Off).

With this option, frost protection must take place via the boiler.
11: if the heat pump is in "Cooling" operating mode.
Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.2.
3.6.10 Air purge
By activating the air purge, the RoCon mb controller starts a permanently defined sequence program with start/stop operation of the integrated heating circulation pump and various settings of the 3-way switch valves integrated in the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O.
Any air present can escape via the automatic vent valve during the air purge and the hydraulic circuit connected to the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O is evacuated.

The activation of this function does not replace correct venting of the heating circuit.
The heating circuit must be completely full before activating this function.
- Enter the technician code (see chap. 3.6.1).
→ After entering, the "Setup" level is displayed.
-
Use the rotary button to select the [Air Purge] parameter.
-
Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ The setting of the parameter is displayed.
- Use the rotary button to set the parameter for the function to "On", and confirm by pressing the rotary button briefly.
→ "Air Purge" starts (3-way switch valves move to the middle position, the heating circulation pump modulates - see fig. 3-17).
→ After the program has ended (approx. 10 min), the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O is switched to "Standby" operating mode.

3.6.11 Anti-legionella system

WARNING!
There is a danger of scalding at target hot water temperatures over 60 °C. This is possible when using solar energy if the Legionella protection or Smart Grid functions are activated or the target hot water temperature is set higher than 60 °C.
- Install scald protection in the hot water distribution line (e.g. VTA32 + Screw set 1").
This function is used to prevent bacterial contamination in the hot water storage tank. Refer to the national regulations for the precise drinking water hygiene regulations.

The Legionella protection function is deactivated in the factory in the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O, as the risk of contamination is very low due to the following reasons:
– Low volume of the heat exchanger (stainless steel) for heating drinking water.
- Frequent, complete water exchange "first-in-first-out".
- No stagnant water areas in the stored drinking water.
When the Legionella protection function is activated (parameter [Anti-Legionella day]), the connected hot water storage tank is heated up to a disinfection temperature 1x daily or 1x weekly. The anti-legionella system function is active for one hour.

Heating the hot water to the disinfection temperature is carried out irrespective of the target hot water temperatures set by the user or the heating technician.
A connected circulation pump is automatically switched on during thermal disinfection.
The setting of the parameters for the anti-legionella system is carried out in the "Configuration" rotary switch setting at the "DHW Configuration" level.
With the factory settings, the storage tank is recharged at 03:30 hours if the target hot water temperature at this point in time is below 65 °C.
Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.4.
3.6.12 Resetting to factory settings (reset)

More detailed explanations and possible setting values for this function can be found in chap. 6.12.

After resetting to the factory settings using option 2 or 3, the system must be adjusted to the installation environment again by the heating expert and all customer-specific parameters need to be reset.
3.6.13 Screed program
The screed program is used exclusively for the specified drying of newly created screed for floor heating. Here, the heat generator is operated over several days in accordance with a specified temperature profile (the basis for the preset temperature profile is the recommendation of the surface heating federal association for screed curing heating).
After entering the technician code, temperatures and the duration of the screed program can be set freely in the "Configuration" rotary switch position in the "HC Configuration" level in the parameter [Screed Program].
The screed program is a special function and is not interrupted by any other operating mode. It can only be activated by the heating expert for the direct heating circuit and/or optionally connected mixed heating circuits. It must be activated separately for every heating circuit.

Before starting the screed program, the parameters [Interlink fct] and [Room thermostat] must be deactivated.
During a short-term power failure, a previously activated screed function is continued at the point of the interruption.
After activation of the screed program (parameter [Screed] = On), all weather-dependent control functions of the respective heating circuit are switched off. The respective heating circuit works, as a constant temperature control regardless of the operating mode (switching times).
An already started screed program can be deactivated at any time. After ending the screed program, the parameter is automatically set to "Off", and the heating circuit continues to operate according to the currently set operating mode.
Function heating
The function heating serves as proof of the production of defect free work for the heating engineer. A prefabricated heating protocol related to Daikin floor heating can be found in the Internet portal of Daikin.
In this sense, the function heating (identical with "Heating" in EN 1264, section 5.2) is not considered as a heating process to achieve workability of the screed. Generally, a special screed curing heating and/or mechanical drying is required for this.
The heating of cement screeds should be carried out at the earliest after 21 days and of anhydrite screeds after 7 days at the earliest in accordance with the specifications of the manufacturer. The first heating begins with a T-HS of 25 °C that must be maintained for 3 days. Afterwards, the heating is carried out with the maximum set T-HS for the heating circuit (limited to max. 55 °C), which must be maintained for a further 4 days.
After the described heating process, it is not yet assured that the screed has reached the required moisture content for workability of the screed.
The moisture content in the screed must be checked by measurement prior to laying the surface covering.

Procedure in accordance with EN 1264 Part 4:
1 For anhydrite and cement screeds, the heating circuits must be leak tested by a water pressure test after completion. The leaktightness must be ensured immediately before and during the laying of the screed. The height of the test pressure is at least 1.3x the maximum permitted operating pressure.
Suitable measures must be taken if there is a risk of freezing, e.g. use of antifreeze agents or heating the building. If antifreeze agents are no longer necessary for the intended operation of the system, the antifreeze agent must be removed by draining and rinsing the system with at least 3 changes of the water.

Screed curing heating
The drying process for the screed cannot be exactly predicted. If there is a high degree of humidity, sometimes it can stop completely. The drying process can be speeded up by activating the floor heating (screed curing heating) or measures such as mechanical drying.
Each screed curing heating must be ordered separately by the client as an extra service in accordance with German construction contract procedures (VOB). The workability of the screed is a prerequisite for beginning the work of the top floor installer, so that he can produce defect free work.
3 Operation
With standard settings, the combined function and screed curing heating program can be activated to achieve the required residual moisture in the screed for screed curing (see fig. 3-19). However, the residual moisture of the screed must basically be checked metrologically before the flooring can be laid.

More detailed explanations and possible setting values for this function can be found in chapters 6.2.3 and 6.13.2.
Setting and starting the screed program
The screed program already includes factory default values which can, however, be individually adjusted.
The day on which the screed program is activated is not counted in the runtime of the program. The 1st day starts at the change of day at 00:00 am. On the day of activation, the setting of the 1st program day is used for heating for the remaining time.
- Enter the technician code (see chap. 3.6.1).
→ After entering, the "Setup" level is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the parameters [Interlink fct] and [Room thermostat] and check whether they are deactivated (see tab. 6-1).
Both parameters must be set to "Off" before starting the screed program. - Briefly press the Exit button.
→ An overview is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the "HC Configuration" level.
→ An overview is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the [Screed Program] parameter.

The key lock (if it was activated prior to the start of this function) is reactivated within 2 s to prevent undesired cancellation of the function through operation of the RoCon mb controller.
After the screed program has ended, the RoCon mb control unit continues to work in the previously set operating mode. If not configured beforehand, the following finishing work is necessary.
a) On connection without room station:
- Set the heating characteristic curve or desired target feed temperature.
b) On connection with room station:
• Activate the room station.
- Set the heating characteristic curve or desired target feed temperature. If necessary, activate the parameter [Room Influence] and set the target room temperature.

Detailed explanations and possible setting values of this function can be found in chap. 6.2.2.
3.6.15 Settings for optional circulation pump
For greater convenience in draining the water, an optional circulation pump can be switched with the RoCon mb control unit.
There are 2 setting options for this:
a) Separate switching time program (see chap. 3.4.7). Here, the circulation pump works according to an independent switching time program.
b) Together with a hot water switching time program. Here, the circulation pump is controlled in parallel to the operating times of a hot water switching time program.
Independent of the set switching time program, the energy consumption of the circulation pump can be minimised by operating it in pulse mode. The [Circl-Pump Interval] parameter sets the duration of operation of the circulation pump within a 15-minute interval.
Defining the switching time program for the circulation pump
- Set the rotary switch to the "Configuration" position.
→ An overview is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the "DHW Configuration" level.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ An overview is displayed. - Select the parameter to be set with the rotary button.
- [Circl-Pump DHW]: Setting of whether the circulation pump is actuated by the active hot water switching time program [ON] or by the separate switching time program [OFF].
– [Circl-Pump Interval]: Setting of the interval control for optional circulation pump. - Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
- Set the parameter.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ The circulation pump is controlled by the RoCon mb control unit in accordance with the entered settings.
Possible setting values of this rotary switch setting can be found in chap. 6.2.4.
3.6.16 Remote control via Internet
An optional gateway (EHS157056) can be used to connect the RoS controller to the Internet. This enables remote control of MtheCBAikin Altherma _2 O by mobile phones (by app).
Operation is possible intuitively.
4 Initial start-up
i
In addition to the commissioning instructions listed in this chapter, the specific commissioning instructions listed in the respective installation instructions for the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O must be observed.
The RoCon system offers a very wide range of application and extension options.
The individual RoCon system components communicate via the CAN data bus. For this reason, the RoCon BM1 printed circuit boards and the RoCon B1 control panels of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O, as well as any optional EHS157034 room station and EHS157068 mixer module system components are connected to each other via data bus lines.
These system components must be allocated unique functional IDs, so that the data exchange and the assignment within the RoCon system functions without any problems.
In many applications, nothing needs to be changed in the basic settings. The more RoCon system components that are integrated in the RoCon system, the more adjustments that need to be made during initial commissioning or when extending the heating system.
The assignment of the functional IDs is easiest when carried out via the "Setup Wizard" installation menu. Most IDs can also be adapted subsequently to the conditions by means of individual parameter settings in the specific parameter levels (see Chapter 6).
a) If no optional RoCon system components are connected to the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O, communication in the RoCon system is limited to just the RoCon BM1 printed circuit board and the integrated RoCon B1 control panel.
→ Adaptation of the IDs is not necessary.
→ The question displayed during initial commissioning "Use Standard Config" can be confirmed by "Yes".
b) If optional RoCon system components such as EHS157034 and / or EHS157068 are connected, adaptation of the IDs may be necessary.
4.1 Fundamental aspects of the IDs and authorisations in the RoCon system
In the RoCon system, the following functional IDs that are relevant for data exchange of the RoCon system components exist:
| ID / Function | System components | Parameters | Comments |
| Heating circuit IDUnique numbering of a heating circuit in the heating system in the RoCon system. A maximum of 16 heating circuits can be controlled. | Daikin Altherma M ECH2O (RoCon BM1) | [Unmixed Circ Config] See tab. 6-14 | Factory setting = 0Should not normally be changed.1) |
| EHS157034 room station | [HC Assignment] See tab. 6-1 | Factory setting = OffAdaptation required if there are different heating circuits in the system and / or the parameter [Master-RoCon] = On | |
| EHS157068 mixer module | [HC Assignment] See tab. 6-15 | Factory setting = OffMust always be adapted to the setting of the address switch (fig. 4-2). | |
| Heat generator IDUnique numbering of a heat generator in the RoCon system.1) | Daikin Altherma M ECH2O (RoCon BM1) | [BUS ID HS] See tab. 6-14 | Factory setting = 0Should not normally be changed.1) |
| EHS157068 mixer module | [Boiler Assignment] See tab. 6-15 | Factory setting = 0Should not normally be changed.1)Defines the heat generator that supplies the assigned heating circuit with heat. | |
| Terminal IDUnique numbering of a RoCon B1 or EHS157034 control unit from which a heat generator and/or mixer module can be remote controlled in the RoCon system.The authorisation for remote control can be allocated to up to 10 control units in the RoCon system. If remote control in the RoCon system is to be possible, the control unit must be allocated the ID "0". | Daikin Altherma M ECH2O (RoCon BM1) | [Terminaladress] See tab. 6-1 | Factory setting = OffThe value should be set to "0" if at least 1 mixer module is connected in the RoCon system, and the mixer circuit is to be operated from the heat generator. |
| EHS157034 room station | [Terminaladress] See tab. 6-1 or tab. 6-15 - depending on the set heating circuit ID and the current operating mode | Factory setting = OffThe value must be set to a unique numerical value in the RoCon system if the room station system components are to be remotely controlled using a valid device ID. | |
| Device IDUnique numbering of a heat generator or mixer module in the RoCon system.Up to 16 device numbers can be allocated.These device numbers are detected during a [Bus - Scan] and are displayed for identification of a remotely controlled device. | Daikin Altherma M ECH_2O (RoCon BM1) | [BUS ID HS] See tab. 6-14 | Identical to heat generator detection.The value must not be the same as the heating circuit ID of a mixer module in the RoCon system. |
| EHS157068 mixer module | [HC Assignment] See tab. 6-15 | Identical to the heating circuit ID.The value must not be the same as the heat generator ID of a Daikin Altherma M ECH_2O in the RoCon system.The value must be the same as the setting of the address switch (fig. 4-2). |
Tab. 4-1 Functional IDs in the RoCon system
1) A maximum of 8 heat generators can be connected in the RoCon system via the CAN data bus. Several heat generators integrated in the heating installation must be regarded as a special application. If necessary contact a Daikin service technician.
If several control units are incorporated in the RoCon system of a heating installation, additional parameter settings are relevant for this and can be used to set the individual functions and parameters using the appropriate authorisations.
For the EHS157034 room station
– [RoCon U1 assign] parameter:
- The setting = "Living Room" can be used to influence the heating circuit defined by the set heating circuit ID.
- The setting = "Mixing Valve" can be used to carry out all the settings for the mixer circuit defined by the set heating circuit ID.
– [Master-RoCon] parameter:
If the heating circuit ID is set for the direct heating circuit of a Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O, the setting = "On" can be used to activate the master RoCon function. In addition to the heating circuit functions, the hot water functions of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O can also be operated with this room station.
Activation of the master RoCon function can also be used for heating systems that consist only of a DaikinAltherma M ECH _2 O (without heating circuit extension) and a room station, and which are to be operated primarily via the room station (observe following information).

If the master RoCon function is activated, the operating mode of the heat generator is set via the room station, and this is shown on the display.
The settings on the room station are transferred to the heat generator, but not vice versa. The room station has priority.
If the [Summer] operating mode is set, for example, and subsequently, on the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O control panel, the [Heating] operating mode is set, no heating circuit requirement is generated, because the direct heating circuit assigned to the room station via the heating circuit ID is still in [Summer] operating mode. The change in operating mode must therefore be carried out at the room station.
On heating systems with heating circuit extensions, we recommend not activating the master RoCon function (setting = "Off") and instead using the terminal function.
For all RoCon B1 and EHS157034 control units
– [Terminaladress] parameter:
As soon as a control panel has been assigned with a terminal ID (all settings except "Off"), the control panel can be used to activate the terminal function.
After carrying out the [Bus - Scan], all the system components integrated in the RoCon system can be remotely controlled using a valid device ID (caretaker authorisation).
If the terminal function is to be used in the heating system, the terminal ID = 0 must be allocated to a control unit.
4.2 Operating Support during 1st.
Commissioning and during System Extensions
When a Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O or a EHS157034 room station is switched on for the first time, setting the user language is normally offered first.
Then, on the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O you will be asked "Use Standard Config?". This query can normally be answered with "Yes".
Only in special applications (e.g. several heat generators in the RoCon system) should the answer be "No". In this case, the "Basic Configuration" parameter level will be offered in order to set the necessary adaptations (see tab. 6-14).
In the case of the EHS157034 room station, after setting the user language, the "Setup Wizard" installation menu appears.

Fig. 4-1 "Setup Wizard" display
The items for defining the function, the authorisation and the IDs of the room station in the RoCon system are requested and checked for plausibility.
This prevents duplicate device and terminal IDs being set.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use this installation menu when extending or making changes to the RoCon system of the heating installation. To do this, a room station already integrated in the heating installation must first be reset.
- Enter the technician code (see chap. 3.6.1).
- Push the Exit button for at least 5 s.
→ Menu "Special Level" is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the "RoCon B1/U1 Reset" program.
- Execute the program by briefly pressing on the rotary button.
→ The "Setup Wizard" installation menu starts.
4.3 Commissioning Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O
The prerequisite for initial commissioning is the completion of all preparatory installation work as per the installation and maintenance instructions for the. DaikinAltherma M ECHO
- Switch on the power supply to the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O.
→ After the start phase, the operating language selection is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the desired language.

The operating language can be changed again at any time.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ The "Use Standard Config?" message is displayed. - Confirm the default "Yes" by briefly pressing on the rotary button (see also chap. 4.2).
→ The Basic Configuration of the RoCon device is loaded.
→ The "Starting Up" message is displayed.
→ The "Initialization" message is displayed.
→ The standard display for the current rotary switch setting is shown. - Adjust settings related to the configuration of the heating system on the RoCon device (see chap. 3.6).
4.3.1 Assigning the terminal ID on the RoCon B1 control panel of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O

If several control units are connected in the RoCon system via the data bus, it is important to note that the [Terminaladress] parameter = 0 must be set for a heat generator.
Make sure not to assign a duplicate value as the setting of the [Terminaladress] in the RoCon system.
- Enter the technician code (see chap. 3.6.1).
→ After entering, the "Setup" level is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the [Terminaladress] parameter.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
- Within the display, use the rotary button to set the unique terminal address.
For reasons of clarity, this control unit must be assigned the value = 0. - Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ Change has been accepted. Jump back to previous display.
Detailed explanations and possible setting values for this rotary switch setting can be found in chap. 6.2.1.
4.4 Putting optional RoCon system components into operation
4.4.1 M1 Mixer module EHS157068
The EHS157068 mixer module has no separate control unit. For configuration and operation, it must be connected via a CAN bus line to a RoCon controller installed in the heat generator or a EHS157034 room station.

In conjunction with a room station, the mixer module can also be operated as a free-standing heating circuit controller.
To operate the mixer module directly via the RoCon B1 control panel of the Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O, it must be assigned with a terminal ID, and the terminal function must be activated (see chap. 3.4.9).
After selection and confirming an external device, the terminal function for this device is activated and the associated standard display for this device is shown in the display.
The operating component is then in terminal operation.
In the rotary switch position 📄, the local control panel acts as a remote control for the external device. In this case, all the control functions are performed and saved 1:1 as on the external device.
For reasons of clarity, this control unit must be assigned the value = 0.

If, in the rotary switch position 📄, the message "n.A." is displayed, no valid terminal ID has been assigned to this RoCon B1 control panel yet.
If the "n.A." message is still displayed, it may be necessary to update the device software in order to use the terminal function. Contact the Daikin Service Team for this.
A unique device ID ( ≥ 1 ) must be set on the address switch (see fig. 4-2) for the heating circuit to be controlled by this mixer module, which must be synchronised with the [HC Assignment] parameter of the mixer module (see tab. 4-1]).

Fig. 4-2 Setting the device ID for the EHS157068 mixer module
All settings and operating steps for this heating circuit are performed in the same way as those for the direct heating circuit. The overview of the available parameters and their settings can be found in chap. 6.13.
The current operating status can be determined directly on the EHS157068 mixer module (see fig. 4-3).

4.4.2 EHS157034 room station
The EHS157034 room station can be used as
a) a remote control unit for the DaikinAltherma M ECH 2 O,
b) a mixer circuit operating unit (as a mixer circuit extension or as a freestanding mixer circuit controller),
c) a room thermostat for the Daikin Altherma 2 O,
d) remotely controlled unit for the entire RoCon system (with terminal function activated).
The room station must be connected using a CAN bus line to the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O's installed RoCon controller or a EHS157068 mixer module. No separate mains supply is necessary for the room station.

4.4.3 Allocating the EHS157068 mixing module to a heat generator
If just 1 heat generator is integrated in the RoCon system, adaptation of the heat generator ID is not necessary (see tab. 4-1).
If adaptations have to be undertaken, the value of the parameter [Boiler Assignment] (see chapter 6, tab. 6-15) must be set to the same value as the heat generator ID of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O that is intended to supply the mixer circuit of this mixer module.
4.4.4 Master RoCon function
Each EHS157034 room station whose heating circuit ID is set to a direct heating circuit can be assigned to the master RoCon function.
- Enter the technician code (see chap. 3.6.1).
→ After entering, the "Setup" level is displayed. - Use the rotary button to select the [Master-RoCon] parameter.
- Confirm the selection with a brief push of the rotary button.
→ The setting of the parameter is displayed. - Use the rotary button to set the parameter for the function to "On", and confirm by pressing the rotary button briefly.
All settings on the EHS157034 room station act in the same way as settings on the RoCon B1 control unit of the assigned heat generator.
As a result, the functions for hot water generation can also be remotely operated from the room station.
As the RoCon B1 control panel has control of the assigned heating circuit in this setting, settings undertaken on the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O control panel only affect the heat generator, not the heating circuit (see chap. 4.1).
4.4.5 Caretaker function
The caretaker function equates to the terminal function (see chap. 3.4.9 and chap. 4.1 under the [Terminaladress] parameter).
5 Parameter overview

6.1 Explanation of the parameter tables
The parameter tables listed in Chaps. 6.2 to 6.11 include compact information on all parameters, which is available in the respective rotary switch setting on the control unit (1st menu level, 2nd menu level).
In addition to the parameter designations, the tables contain details of the setting ranges, factory settings, setting options or setting step distances and brief function explanations.
In addition, they provide explanation of the access rights for operation of the control unit. The following abbreviations are used for corresponding labelling:
BE Access right for the operator
HF Access authorisation with technician code
In the event of different information in the BE and HF columns, login as a heating technician must be carried out prior to selecting the parameter level in order to obtain the status entered in the HF column (see chap. 3.6.1).
Status:
N Not visible
E Visible and configurable
S Visible

Changing some parameters requires a restart of the device. This takes a few minutes. No further settings can be made during this time. The restart can be delayed by 5 minutes in response to the prompt "Restart 1. Perform now?" by selecting "later".
Parameters that require a restart are marked with (*) in the following tables.

7 Errors, malfunctions and messages

CAUTION!
Electrostatic charges can lead to voltage arcing that can destroy the electronic components.
- Secure potential equalisation before touching electronic parts (e.g. by touching an earthed metallic part).
7.1 Recognising errors, correcting malfunctions
The electronic controller of the Daikin Altherma M ECHO:
– signals an error by means of the background of the display lighting up red and shows an error code on the display (see chap. 7.4).
– shows information messages regarding the operating status (not signalled by red background lighting).
An integrated protocol saves up to 15 error or other operating status information messages that last occurred.
Depending on the operating mode, messages are also forwarded to connected room stations or room thermostats.
7.1.1 Current error display

1 Error message as code (see chap. 7.4)
2 Location data (device) of the detected error
3 Device ID of the RoCon device from which the message originates
Fig. 7-1 Displays an active error message (controller fault)

1 Error message as code (see chap. 7.4)
2 Error message as plain text (see chap. 7.4)
3 Location information (device) of the detected fault
4 Device ID of the RoCon device from which the message originates
Fig. 7-2 Display of a current error message (heat pump fault)
7.1.2 Reading out the protocol
The protocol can be read out in the "Special Level" (see fig. 7-3).
The last received (latest) message is in the first position. All other previous messages are then pushed backwards by one place when a new entry is made. The 15th message is deleted on arrival of a new message.

7.1.3 Troubleshooting
Information messages that are displayed without red back-lighting normally result in no permanent limitations on the operation of the Daikin RoCon.
Messages that are displayed with an error code E.... and red back-lighting required error correction by an authorised and trained expert heating technician.
For information on warning messages, see chap. 7.4.
• Detecting and remedying the cause of the malfunction.
- Contactor triggered:
Nothing shown on the display in the controller. Ascertain cause of triggering the contactor and remedy fault. Start the system again.
→ Once the cause has been remedied, the system will resume operations as normal.
- Contactor not triggered:
a) No error codes are shown, but the system is not working properly. Search for and rectify faults (see chap. 7.4).
→ Once the cause has been eliminated, the system continues to work normally.
b) Error codes are displayed as long as fault conditions are present. Search for and rectify faults (see chap. 7.4). If the fault message is still displayed after the cause of the fault has been corrected, the system must be disconnected from the power supply for at least 10 in order to unlock it.
→ Once the cause has been eliminated, the system continues to work normally.

To ensure that the error is not caused by incorrect settings, reset all parameters to the factory settings before any possible replacement of components (see chap. 3.6.12).
If you are unable to determine the cause of the fault yourself, please consult a Daikin service technician.
To do this, please have the important device data available (see fig. 7-4 for the procedure):
- Type and manufacturer number of the Daikin Altherma M ECH_2O (see heat pump type plate).
- Software versions (see fig. 7-4) of: a: RoCon B1 control panel [Sw Nr B1/U1] b: RoCon BM1 printed circuit board [Sw Nr Controller]
- For optional RoCon system components: U1 EHS157034 [Sw Nr B1/U1] M1 EHS157068 [Sw Nr mixing valve]

7.2 Emergency operation
In the event of incorrect electronic controller settings or 3-way switch valve malfunctions, emergency heating operation can be maintained by activating the "Manual Operation" special function on the controller (see chap. 3.5.1 and the supplementary notes in the installation and maintenance instructions of the Daikin Altherma M ECH₂O).
7.3 EHS emergency operation
If the heat pump fails, the backup heater can be used as emergency heating, and can undertake all heating requirements either automatically or non-automatically (see chap. 3.4.13).
7.4 Malfunctions and fault codes
See Daikin Altherma M ECH _2 O installation and maintenance instructions; chapter entitled "Faults, malfunctions, messages".
8 Glossary
| Operating mode Heat generator function requested by the user or the controller (e.g. room heating, hot water preparation, Stand-by, etc.) | |
| Backup requirement | Operating situation in which the required feed temperature cannot be reached efficiently or at all using the heat pump process. A heater booster (e.g. a backup heater) is therefore integrated to support the Daikin Altherma M ECH2O in generating heat. |
| Backup heater | Optional electric heater booster for general support of the Daikin Altherma M ECH2O during heat generation. |
| Heating characteristic curve | Mathematical relationship between the external temperature and the target T-HS (synonym = heat slope) in order to achieve the desired room temperature at all outside temperatures. |
| Refrigerant A substance used | for heat transfer in the heat pump process. At low temperature and low pressure, heat is absorbed and at high temperature and a high pressure, heat is emitted. |
| Anti-legionella system | Periodic heating of the storage tank water to >60 °C to preventively kill pathogenic bacteria (Legionella) in the hot water circuit. |
| Modulation Automatic and stepless adjustment of the heating performance/pump performance to the respective heating requirement, without different heating/pump steps or cycles having to be switched. | |
| Off-peak mains connection (HT/NT) | A special mains connection to the energy supplier, which offers various cheaper rates during so-called low-load periods for electrical current (day-, night-, heat pump current, etc.). |
| Nominal output | Maximum heating performance, which the heat generator provides under test conditions for certain operating temperatures. |
| Parameters | A value that influences the execution of programs or processes or defines specific states. |
| Control unit | Device electronics that are used to control the processes for heat generation and heat distribution for the heating system. The control unit consists of a number of electronic components. The most important component for the operator is the control panel in the front area of the heat generator; it includes controls (rotary switches, rotary buttons, Exit button) and a display. |
| Return flow | Part of the hydraulic circuit that directs the cooled water from the radiators in the rooms back to the heat generator via the piping system. |
| Switching time program | Setting of weekdays and times on the controller to define regular heating, cooling, economy and hot water cycles. |
| Smart Grid (SG) | Intelligent use of energy for inexpensive heating. By using a special electricity meter, it is possible to receive a "Smart Grid signal" from the utility company.Depending on the signal, the heat pump is shut off, or operated as normal or at higher temperatures. |
| Flow | Part of the hydraulic circuit that diverts the heated water from the heat generator to the heating surfaces. |
| Domestic hot water circuit | The water circuit in which cold water is heated and conducted to the hot water tap. |
| Domestic hot water generation | Operating status of the heat generator in which heat with elevated temperatures is generated and fed to the hot water circuit, e.g. loading of the hot water storage tank. |
| Heat pump process | In a closed-loop refrigerant circuit, the refrigerant absorbs the heat from the ambient air. By means of compression, the refrigerant achieves a higher temperature which is transferred to the heating system (thermodynamic cycle). |
| Heat exchanger | A component that transfers thermal energy from one circuit to another. The two circuits are separated from each other hydraulically by a wall in the heat exchanger. |
| Water shortage/Overheating protection | Safety facility that shuts off the heat generator automatically in the event of a water shortage to prevent overheating. |
| Weather-dependent T-HS control | Target feed temperature determined from the measured value for the outside temperature and a defined heating curve for temperature control in the heater. |
| Circulation pump | Optional circulation pump that circulates the hot water in the circulation circuit (return from the tapping point to the hot water storage tank), thus making it available immediately at each tapping point. This circulation is especially useful in extensively branching pipe networks. In hot water distribution networks without circulation, the cooled water in the removal line first emerges during the tapping process until the removal line has been heated sufficiently by the inflowing hot water. |
| Heater booster | Additional heat generator (e.g. backup heater or external boiler) integrated in the heating system to achieve the required target feed temperature in the case of an inadequate or inefficient heat pump process. |
