IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT APPLIANCE SAFETY PROTECTION SYSTEMS
REMAIN ACTIVE (COMPRESSOR, ANTI-FREEZE PROTECTION, WATER
PUMP ANTI-SEIZE PROTECTION), WE STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST
SWITCHING OFF THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE PAC WHEN IT IS NOT IN
USE FOR HEATING.
The purpose of this manual is to explain the various functions and possibilities offered by the
Aqu@Scop Advance DCI regulation system. The manual also provides a detailed description of
all the parameters accessible via the graphic display integrated in the appliance, as well as a few
parameters to be set at the time of start-up.
1. MANUAL USER GUIDE
1.1. ICONS
Several different icons are present throughout the document:
1.2. MODIFIABLE PARAMETERS
In this document, all the parameters that can be modified via the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI display are highlighted
in bold italic.
All the menus, screens and associated parameters are listed at the end of this manual with the reference screen,
the unit of measurement, and with minimum, maximum and default values.
WARNING: Warns of a risk to proper operation of the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI, of a strong
recommendation associated with occupant comfort or energy savings, or of important points of which
a good understanding is necessary.
TIP: Highlights how a simple parameter setting can offer improved installation performance or make
start-up easier.
NOTE Attracts the reader's attention to a special point.

2. DISPLAY
2.1. DEFAULT DISPLAY
It is possible to reach the default display by either waiting for 10 minutes or by going up in the menu by pressing
both buttons " and ".
The default display is the leaving water temperature unless the following occurs:
²Deice "dEg" is displayed.
²Unit is off "Off" is displayed, see below for off mode definition.
²EJP input "EJP" is displayed.
2.2. INDICATOR LIGHT
On = heating by electric heater or boiler operating
Flashing = back-up heating
On = alarm active, check the alarm codes
Flashing = back-up heating
On = compressor operating
Flashing = compressor waiting to start
2.3. CLOCK
The main controller keeps the time and date even during a power cut. However when a room terminal is connected
the time displayed on the room terminal is used to adjust the main controller time. This means that if the room
controller time is incorrect after a long power cut or installation the main controller time will be incorrect.
The controller date can be check and adjusted in the menu PSS -> rtC. The "Hr" and "dAt" parameters are used
to see the actual values and the "ChH" and "Chd" are used to modify the values.
The date and time are used for alarm monitoring. The time is used for alarm and domestic hot water (DHW)
scheduling.
Note: Neither the room controller nor the main controller will automatically adjust the time between winter and
summer time.

3. MODES
3.1. ON/OFF
When the heating is in off mode the pump can still start either for freeze protection or for the anti-seize cycles.
If any of the off inputs are switch off then the unit will be in off mode as described below.
No hot water heating With domestic hot water
Display OFF Heating Off Heating & DHW OFF
On/Off input DI9 Heating Off Heating & DHW OFF
Room terminal Off Heating Off Heating OFF
DHW On
The display will show "off" if the heating is off
Note that if domestic hot water is active the unit will automatically switch back on when water heating is required
if off mode is selected on the room terminal.
3.2. DRY CONTACT INPUTS
Note that the state of the inputs can be monitored using the I-O menu and DI sub menu. The condition is 0 =
input open and 1= input closed.
3.2.1. ON/OFF DRY CONTACT INPUTS DI9
The default setting uses this input as a global Off mode when the input is closed.
It is possible to inverse the input logic using the parameter H30.
²If H30 = "inv" (default) then when the input is closed the unit is Off
²If H30 = "dir" then when the input is open the unit is off.
When the parameter H29 = LS then the DI9 input is used for the load shedding and cannot be used as an on/
off input.
3.2.2. LOAD SHEDDING DRY CONTACT INPUT DI9
Only used when H29 = 29 and H10 = 0 (configured for electric heaters)
When the input is on then the electric heaters remain off. Only heating by compressor heat is possible. Note that
this input does not disable the domestic hot water electric heater.
The input logic can be reversed using parameter H30 as above.
3.2.3. EJP INPUT DI8
This input is used to stop electricity consumption for customers equipped with peak rate electricity meters. When
the input is on then all electric heaters and compressor heat are switched off. DWH Domestic hot water heating is
not possible. Heating is done by the boiler when a boiler relief configuration is used.
The parameter H25 can be used to inverse the input.
²If H25 = "dir" (default setting) then when the input is closed the EJP mode is on.
²If H25 = "inv" then when the input is closed EJP is off and normal heating is allowed.
When EJP mode is active "EJP" is displayed as the default display.

6
3.2.4. DAY/NIGHT INPUT DI10
This input is used with the domestic hot water option only when the parameter L01 is set as "in". When the contact
is in night mode then the "comfort" setpoint (parameter o02) is used when the contact is in day mode the "eco"
setpoint (parameter o03) is used.
This input can be used with an off peak electricity meter.
The parameter L08 can be used to inverse the input.
²If L08 = dir (default setting) then when the input is closed the night mode is on.
²If L08 = inv then when the input is closed the daytime "eco" setpoint is used.

4. HEAT CURVE AND HEATING WATER SETPOINT
The water setpoint used at any time is continuously recalculated depending on conditions. The setpoint used is
given by the parameter HEr. This parameter cannot be modified.
The water setpoint starting setpoint is HEA. This value is then corrected for the outdoor air temperature depending
on the heat curve parameters.

The HEA dynamic set temperature point is equal to 38°C.
With this mode of regulation, the leaving water temperature is capped as a function of the outside air temperature.
If the HEA is set at 38°C, the leaving water temperature is at the maximum of 50°C, and the entering water
temperature is 47°C, being the maximum operating limit for the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI for this application.
The Aqu@Scop Advance DCI must be sized to have a balance point within 4°C and 0°C of the outdoor
temperature.

The minimum operating temperature for the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI for this application is limited by the parameter
H23 to -20°C. The leaving water temperature is always below the limit and the appliance can operate with the boiler
down to temperatures of -20°C. The boiler start-up temperature is determined by Aqu@Scop Advance DCI's
capacity (balance point).
4.2. ROOM SETPOINT CORRECTION
The water setpoint is set for an indoor air temperature of 20°C. If the room setpoint is changed then the water
setpoint is corrected 3° for a radiator configuration and 2° for an underfloor heating configuration per 1 degree of
difference. The correction can be changed using parameter S10, set the parameter to 0 for no correction.
This correction is not used if no room terminal is present.
4.3. ROOM AIR TEMPERATURE AUTOMATIC CORRECTION
The difference between the room temperature and the room setpoint is continuously monitored and used to correct
the heat curve. A correction factor is calculated using a PI algorithm. The maximum and minimum possible values
are +10° and -10°. The possible correction factors can be adjusted using parameter S12. The default value is 1,
0 is no correction and 2 corresponds to a correction of +20° /-20°.

4.4. LIMITING FOR UNDERFLOOR HEATING APPLICATIONS
The temperature calculated by the above heat curve is limited according to the outdoor air temperature to prevent
the compressor working outside acceptable operating conditions.
A separate limiting parameter (H12) is used only when the unit is configured (H09=1) for underfloor heating. The
default value is 45°C maximum.

5. COMPRESSOR MANAGEMENT
Compressor is allowed to operate depending on water temperature and room air temperature.
5.1. ROOM AIR TEMPERATURE
The compressor will stop when RT - HSPT > H28
The compressor can start when RT- HSPT < H27
HSPT : room heating setpoint given by the room terminal
RT : room temperature measured by the room terminal
H28 : stop differential (0.6°C default)
H27 : start differential (0.2°C default)
5.2. WATER TEMPERATURE
5.2.1. COMPRESSOR START
The entering water temperature (EWT) is compared to the water setpoint (HEr). When the difference is less than
the last value memorised for any given condition then the compressor can start. This value is typically 5°C but will
depend on the waterflow and outdoor air temperature.
5.2.2. COMPRESSOR SPEED
The leaving water temperature (LWT) is compared to the water setpoint (HEr). The compressor speed is adjusted
according to a fuzzy logic algorithm to keep the LWT as close to HEr as possible. When the two values are close
then the compressor will change speed slowly, however when the two values are more than 2°C apart then the
compressor can change speed up to 8Hz per 15s.
The minimum speed is 25Hz and the maximum speed is 80Hz. These actual min and max speed is automatically
adjusted according to outdoor air temperature. When the outdoor temperature is greater than 25°C then the
maximum speed is reduced and if it is less than 0°C then the minimum speed is increased.
The actual compressor speed status is available in the "I-O" menu in Hz.
5.2.2.1. COMPRESSOR STOP
The compressor will reduce speed if the LWT value remains above the setpoint until it reaches minimum speed.
If the compressor remains at minimum speed for more than 3 minutes with the water temperature above setpoint
then it will stop.
If the compressor speed is less than 30Hz for more than 50 minutes, it will stop.

6. DOMESTIC HOT WATER
This function requires the installation of a DHW tank or a heat exchange system to supply the
DHW tank (plate exchanger type) compatible with the capacity and the water temperatures of a
Aqu@Scop Advance DCI. The DHW tank available as a kit guarantees effective operation of the
DHW option as it includes an internal heat exchanger with a sufficient surface area (over 3m²) and
a back-up electric heater. In the case of the use of a different system, some functions (e.g. Legionnaires' Disease
Protection) will be inoperative and there is no guarantee that the satisfactory DHW temperature will be reached.
It is also necessary to connect a specific DHW temperature sensor to the appliance's regulation system (Refer to
the Installation Manual).
Two separate menus on the display are used for setting DHW parameters. In the main menu PAr/ECS, the DHW
screens provide simple everyday user access (temperature setpoint, timer programming …) while the Installation
menu covers the configuration choices possible at the time of Aqu@Scop Advance DCI installation (DHW
activation, setting off-peak hours operation, Legionnaires' Disease Protection, room temperature management,
water pump management …).
6.1. DHW FUNCTION ACTIVATION
It is important to connect the DHW sensor to the controller before
proceeding with the activation of the DHW. If this is not done,
a DHW sensor alarm AL04 will appear 10 seconds after the
activation.
The function is activated via the parameter H08 in the PSS/CnF
menu.

The Aqu@Scop Advance DCI considers that there is a demand for DHW production when the temperature read
by the DHW sensor falls 2° C below the setpoint. For example, if the setpoint is 50°C, there will be a demand for
DHW for a temperature measured below 48°C.
The demand for DHW is considered as satisfied when the DHW temperature exceeds the setpoint by 2°C. For a
setpoint at 50°C, this means that the DHW temperature is going to oscillate between 48°C and 52°C.

6.2.2. DHW MANAGEMENT RELATIVE TO ROOM TEMPERATURE
When the room terminal is connected, the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI can decide whether to give priority to
Heating or DHW production.
The DHW or Heating priority can be configured by the parameter L02:
²If the room temperature is lower than the room setpoint minus 2°C, the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI
remains in Heating mode until the room temperature returns above this limit. For example, for a
room setpoint of 20°C, the switchover to DHW will only occur if the room temperature is above 18°C
(during 5 consecutive minutes).
²Beyond a certain time of demand for DHW production, the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI will
automatically switch to DHW mode, irrespective of the room temperature. This time period, L02 set
at 60 minutes, is a good compromise between heating comfort and readily available domestic hot
water. Moreover, if the timer has been programmed or if an off-peak hours electricity relay has been
connected to the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI, this set-up ensures that the optimum time period for
DHW production is not missed.
To afford greater priority to Heating for example, the L02 value can just be increased (up to 4 hours). In this case,
the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI will be able to remain in Heating mode for 4 hours or until the room temperature
has reached the room setpoint. However, there is a risk of not having DHW at the desired temperature at the end
of the off-peak period, for example.
On the other hand, priority can be given to DHW by changing the L02 value to 0 minute.

6.2.3. AQU@SCOP ADVANCE DCI IN HEATING OFF MODE
When the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI is in off mode (Refer to the § ON/OFF, page 5), the room temperature
is no longer taken into account and the changeover to DHW mode is instantaneous during a demand for DHW
production.
6.2.3.1. ROOM TERMINAL NOT CONNECTED
When the room terminal is not connected to the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI, the changeover to DHW mode is
identical to operation in off mode.
6.3. COMFORT/ECO TEMPERATURE SETPOINTS (SCHEDULING)
The user can set the DHW parameters to fulfil all types of needs. To achieve this, the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI
proposes two temperature setpoints: Comfort and Eco, as well as two operating modes: Permanent Comfort and
Comfort/Economy. Similarly, there are two types of timer programming: via digital input (dry contact) or via daily
scheduling (timer programming).

²Comfort permanent selection o01
The mode determines how the appliance is going to choose the DHW temperature setpoint.
As the default setting in Comf./Eco., this means that the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI is going to switch between
the two Comfort and Economy temperature setpoints either in relation to the off-peak hours status (connection to
the electricity meter) or in relation to the daily scheduling.
It is possible to configure the mode in Perm. Comfort (for Permanent Comfort o01= ON). This will continuously
force the DHW setpoint to the Comfort setpoint (not recommended).
²Comfort and Eco setpoints (Default settings: 48°C and 45°C)
These are the temperature setpoints used in relation to the current mode. These setpoints provide domestic hot water
at the right temperature in Comfort mode (e.g. hot water production during off-peak hours at night) and restart
production at a lower temperature when the tank has cooled down (e.g. during the day). In this way, comfort is
maintained for the user, while ensuring that the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI operates under optimum conditions.
These setpoints have been chosen to be compatible with compressor operation. If they are increased
to values beyond 50°C, the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI will be unlikely to supply DHW at the desired
temperature. This will lead to the possible start-up of the electric heater (fitted in the DHW tank as an
option) and would considerably increase the system’s electricity consumption. In the worst case, and
insofar as the system’s priority is to always provide DHW at the required temperature, it is possible that DHW
could only be produced by the electric heater.
WE STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST INCREASING THE
DHW TEMPERATURE SETPOINTS BEYOND 50°C.
To prevent any restart of DHW production during the day time and to produce DHW only during the
night, the user just has to set the Eco temperature at 10°C (minimum setting). This setting corresponds
to the Anti-freeze protection setting.
6.3.1. COMFORT/ECO CHANGEOVER
To benefit from the dual temperature setpoint function, the DHW mode must be configured in Comf./Eco.. The
temperature setpoint point changeover can then be programmed in two different ways.
²Off-peak hours input (L01= "In")
²Daily scheduling (L01= "Prg")
6.3.1.1. OFF-PEAK HOURS INPUT
If the L01 parameter = "In" the off-peak hours contact (ID10 digital input on the controller) is used to select between
the Comfort and Eco setpoints. It is also possible to configure the type of switching of this input to Normally Open
(L08="dir", by default) or Normally Closed (L08="Inv"). The L08 = "dir" setting means that the DHW will use the
Comfort setpoint (e.g. at night) when the contact is closed. Therefore, as a default, if the off-peak hours contact is
not connected, the DHW will remain permanently in Eco mode (as the unwired contact is open).

14
6.3.1.2. DAILY SCHEDULING
THIS FUNCTION REQUIRES THE TIME TO BE SET.
Two start and stop times can be programmed per day. All days are the same.
It is not necessary to use both timers. The default setting is Timer 2 set to 0.
The default values are:
²o04 Timer 1 Start 23H
²o05 Timer 1 Stop 03H
²o06 Timer 2 Start 00H
²o07 Timer 2 Stop 00H
In the above case the "Comfort" setpoint will be used from 23H00 in the evening to 03H00 in the morning and
the "Eco" setpoint will be used the from 03H00 in the morning to 23H00 in the evening. The Timer 2 settings are
not used.
The timer settings are changed in hours. It is not possible to use minutes.
6.3.1.3. EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT DHW OPERATING PATTERNS
Heating and DHW mode operation in relation to scheduling,

These examples are provided for information purposes only. The different heating
or DHW production timeframes are not necessarily representative of all possible
installations. These heating times are closely linked to the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI’s
operating conditions, to the type of heat exchangers and the level and frequency of
demand for DHW.

6.4. "QUICK HEAT-UP" FUNCTION
This function can be used when DHW is needed in a hurry and the tank is not hot enough as, for example when
you return from holidays with the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI in MAIN OFF mode or even switched off from the
power supply (not recommended).
When the "QUICK HEAT-UP" function is activated, the aim is to heat the DHW as rapidly as possible. The
Aqu@Scop Advance DCI’s controller acts in the following manner :
²The system is switched to forced DHW mode, and ignores the room temperature conditions,
²The DHW setpoint changes to the Comfort setpoint, even is the current mode was Eco,
²The electric heater is authorised to start at the same time as the compressor to provide extra heating
capacity.

6.5. COMPRESSOR MANAGEMENT
The compressor speed will automatically adjust to water temperature and outdoor air conditions. If there is a heating
demand at the same time maximum possible compressor speed is used.
If there is no heating demand a lower compressor speed may be used to optimise the system efficiency.
6.5.1. BELOW 0°C OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
The maximum possible water temperature is limited by low air temperatures. The electric heater will be used more.
6.6. ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC HEATER MANAGEMENT
Two types of DHW electric heater may be used.
1. An electric heater inside the water tank (best solution)
2. Use the electric heater inside the Heat pump to heat the DHW.

LWT / OFF
The electric heater is used then the compressor is not able to heat the DHW up to the required setpoint. This could
be because the DHW setpoint is higher than the maximum water temperature or could de due to a problem of
undersized heat exchanger in the water tank.
If the water tank DHWEH electric heater is used then the heat pump can return to normal space heating as soon
as the compressor is switched off.
If the internal electric heaters are used for DHW heating then the space heating can only restart when the DHW
has reached its setpoint.
The parameter L05 is used to configure the use of the DHW electric heater.
²L05 = OFF (default) use the water tank heater (DHWEH) with the output NO11.
²L05 = ON use the internal electric heaters.
Not avaiable in the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI-R version

6.6.1. DHW USED WITH BOILER RELIEF
This configuration presumes that the boiler is not used to heat the DHW.
The compressor heats the DHW as much as possible then a water tank electric heater (DHWEH) will heat the water
further if required. Configuration is L07 = "ON"

6.6.2. SET TEMPERATURE UNATTAINABLE WITH THE COMPRESSORS
When the Aqu@Scop Advance DCI is in Heating mode and a demand for DHW production appears, the
controller estimates whether it is possible to produce DHW with the compressor. If the DHW temperature is too
high, the appliance will remain in Heating mode but the DHW electric heater will be able to operate in accordance
with the previous rules. It is for this reason, as recommended above, that it is very important not to set
the DHW setpoints too high in order to avoid starting the electric heater too frequently.
6.6.3. APPLIANCE FAULT PREVENTING START-UP OF THE COMPRESSOR
If the compressor can not provide DHW production, then the electric heater will automatically take over the role
with the same setpoint.
