WARNING!
Unit contains ammable refrigerants!
If refrigerant leaks an explosion hazard is
caused. If this happens:
– Shut down unit.
– Notify the manufacturer’s authorised
service centre.
- Keep ignition sources away.
ATTENTION
For safety reasons:
Never disconnect the unit from the power sup-
ply, unless the unit is being opened.
ATTENTION
Install the heat pump only outdoors and operate
only with outside air as the heat source. Do not
restrict or block the air-conducting sides.
Dimensional drawing and installation plan for
respective model.
WARNING!
Never switch on unit if façade parts on the
unit are removed.
ATTENTION
It is not permitted to integrate the heat pump in
ventilation systems. The use of the cooled air for
cooling purposes is not permitted.
ATTENTION
The ambient air at the place in which the heat
pump is installed, as well as the air drawn in as
a heat source, must not contain any corrosive
constituents!
Constituents (such as ammonia, sulphur, chlo-
rine, salt, sewage gases, ue gases…) can cause
damage to the heat pump, which can lead to
complete failure / irreparable damage to the
heat pump!
Customer service

Operating principle of heat
pumps
Heat pumps operate on the same principle as a
refrigerator: same technology, only with reversed
benets. The refrigerator extracts heat from foods,
which is released into the room through ns on the back.
The heat pump extracts heat from our environment: air,
earth or water. The extracted heat is conditioned in the
unit and supplied to the heating water. Even when it is
extremely cold outside, the heat pump draws enough
heat to heat a house.
Example: drawing of a brine/water heat pump with
underoor heating:
4/4= usable energy
approx. 3/4= environmental energy
approx. 1⁄4= external
electrical energy
Area of utilisation
Taking into consideration the ambient conditions, limits
of application and the applicable regulations, every heat
pump can be utilised in new or existing heating systems.

Care of the unit
The outer surfaces of the unit can be cleaned with a
damp cloth and household cleaning products.
Do not use cleaning or care products that contain
abrasives, acids and/or chlorine. Such products would
destroy the surfaces and could also damage the technical
components of the unit.
Maintenance of the unit
The components of the heating circuit and the heat
source (valves, expansion vessels, circulating pumps,
lters, dirt traps) should be inspected and cleaned as
necessary - however, at least once a year - by qualied
personnel (heating or cooling system tters).
The intake and blow-out openings must be inspected for
dirt at regular intervals (depending on the installation
location) and cleaned, if necessary.
ATTENTION
Regularly check to ensure that the condensate
can drain out of the unit unobstructed. To do
this, regularly check the condensate tray in the
unit and the condensate drain for dirt / blo-
ckages and if necessary clean.
Icing of the protective grating
If temperatures fall below freezing and humidity is high
at the same time, ice can form on the protective grating.
In order to ensure problem-free operation, the ice must
be removed at regular intervals.
It is best to arrange a maintenance agreement with a
heating installation company. The company will conduct
the required maintenance at regular intervals.

WARNING!
Do not use any objects, other than those
allowed by the manufacturer, to accelerate
the thawing process.
NOTE.
Any person who works on the refrigerant circuit
must have a qualication certicate issued by a
body accredited by the industry.
CleaningandflushingofunitComponents
CAUTION!
Unit components may be cleaned
and ushed only by customer service
personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
Use only liquids recommended by the
manufacturer.
Rinsing of the liqueer with chemical
cleaning agents must be followed by
neutralisation of residue and intensive
ushing with water. Always observe the
technical data of the manufacturer of the
heat exchanger.
Malfunctions
In the event of a fault, you can read out the cause of the
fault from the diagnostic program of the heating and heat

WallpenetRation
To connect the outdoor unit with the indoor part
(hydraulic module), an opening must be provided for the
wall penetration (accessory) or a hole must be made
to enable the KG pipe Ø125 mm (= accessory Wall
penetration) to be installed.
If the wall penetration is not yet available, it is possible
to work in advance using a standard KG pipe, 1m long
DN 125.
NOTE.
Always keep to the installation plan for the re-
spective model. Observe minimum spacings and
protection areas.
Installation plan and dimensional drawings and
protection areas for the respective model.
CAUTION.
In the air outlet area the air temperature
is ca. 5 K below the ambient temperature.
Under certain climatic conditions,
therefore, an ice layer can form in the air
outlet area.
Install the heat pump so that the air
blower does not blow in the direction of
footpaths.
CAUTION.
Several people are required to install the
unit.
NOTE.
The ground surface in the air outlet area of the
heat pump must be permeable to water.
NOTE.
Always ensure you keep to the specied distance
from the wall, from wall openings, windows, light
wells and similar.
See “Dimensional drawings and protection
areas”.
NOTE.
If the wall penetration is not used, the LIN
bus cable must be laid through a separate
conduit, separated from the other cables.
The two other cables must also be laid on
site using reserve conduits.
NOTE.
Always ensure minimum wall area is
available.
Always keep to the installation plan. Note
and keep to minimum spacings.

See “Wall penetration installation instructions”.
The condensate pipe may not be laid alone; it must be
inserted into a second pipe suitable for laying in the
ground (for example, KG pipe), before it is lowered into
the ground!
The connection of both pipes must be sealed. It must be
possible to adjust the length. The pipe at the unit must
not sit on the ground, but must be able to be moved.
ATTENTION
Ensure adequate percolation of the discharged
condensate into the ground!
To the inside:
Insert the condensate pipe (wall penetration
accessory) through the wall penetration (accessory-
use lubricant) and connect to the supplied plastic
elbow at the condensate connection socket.
See “Wall penetration installation instructions”.
NOTE.
If the condensate pipe is not laid to the inside,
the openings in the wall penetration at the front
and back must be closed off with the plugs sup-
plied.
installationWithWallbRaCket
See “Installation instructions wall bracket”..
See ”Wall penetration installation instructions”.
See “Installation plans/minimum spacings/drilling
pattern”.
The wall bracket is only suitable for solid. load-bearing
walls. In the case of wooden stud walls with panelling the
oor-mounted bracket should be used to avoid possible
structurally-borne sound transfer to the interior rooms
installationonflooRbRaCket
It is possible to install the unit near a wall or in an
open space. The heat pump should ideally be installed
in a wind-protected position. If this is not possible it
is advisable to install it transversely to the main wind
direction or air routing with the main wind direction.
Place the unit on a solid, level and load-bearing
foundation. The foundation must not be connected to
the building. Make sure that the foundation is designed
for the weight of the heat pump.
See “Installation instructions oor bracket”.
See “Wall penetration installation instructions”.
See “Installation plans/minimum spacings/view of
foundation”.
NOTE.
If installing with wall penetration, ensure the
correct distance from the wall is maintained.
CondensatedRain
The condensate from the air must be discharged frost-
free through a plastic condensate pipe with a minimum
diameter of 40 mm. If subsoils are permeable to water, it
is sufcient to lay the condensate pipe vertically at least
90 cm into the ground.
Use the screws provided to install the condensate
connection socket, included with the unit, to the
condensate drain at the underside of the unit.
