Injuries and environmental damage due to
refrigerant
The unit contains harmful and environmentally danger-
ousrefrigerant.Ifrefrigerantleaksfromtheunit:
1. Switch off unit.
2. Thoroughly ventilate installation room.
3. Notify authorised customer service.
2.5 Disposal
Batteries
Improper disposal of the buffer battery damages the
environment.
►Dispose of the buffer battery in an environmentally
compatible way according to the local regulations.
Media harmful to the environment
Improper disposal of environmentally harmful media
(antifreeze, refrigerant) damages the environment:
►Collect media safely.
►Dispose of the media in an environmentally com-
patible way according to the local regulations.
2.6 Avoid damage to property
Improper action
Requirements for minimum scale and corrosion dam-
age in hot water heating systems:
●Proper planning, design and start-up
●Closed system with regard to corrosion
●Integration of adequately dimensioned pressure
generation
●Use of deionised heating water (VE water)
●Regular servicing and maintenance
If a system is not planned, designed, started up and
operated according to the named requirements, there
isariskthatthefollowingdamageandfaultswilloccur:
●Malfunctions and the failure of components, e.g.
pumps, valves
●Internal and external leaks, e.g. from heat
exchangers
●Cross-section reduction and blockages in compo-
nents, e.g. heat exchanger, pipes, pumps
●Material fatigue
●Gas bubbles and gas cushion formation
(cavitation)
●Negative effect on heat transfer, e.g. formation of
coatings, deposits, and associated noises, e.g.
boiling noises, ow noises
►Note and follow the information in this operating
manualforallworkonandwiththeunit.
Unsuitablequalityofthellandmake-up
water in the heating circuit
The efciency of the system and the life of the heat
generator and the heating components depend deci-
sively on the quality of the heating water.
If the system is lled with untreated domestic water,
calcium precipitates as scale. Limescale deposits form
ontheheattransfersurfacesoftheheating.Theef-
ciency drops and energy costs rise. In extreme cases
the heat exchangers are damaged.
►Fill system with deionised heating water (VE
water) only.
Unsuitable quality of the water in the domes-
tichotwatertank
►Ensure that the electrical conductivity of the
domesticwaterisatleast100μS/cm.
Unsuitable quality of the water-antifreeze
mixture in the heat source
►For operation of the heat source with water-an-
tifreeze mixture, ensure that the water fulls the
qualityspecicationsoftheheatingwaterside.

3.2 Accessories
The following accessories are available for the unit
through the manufacturer's local partner:
●Additional cover for the front cover panel, if the
control unit is mounted on the wall
●Room thermostat for switching the cooling function
(if available)
●Dew point monitor for protecting a system with
cooling function at low ow temperatures
●Expansion board for automatic changeover
between heating and cooling mode
●Manual output control heating element (MLRH) for
limiting the output of the electric heating element
●“Cooling package” for retrotting type H units with
a cooling function
3.3 Function
Liquid refrigerant is evaporated (evaporator), the
energy for this process is environmental heat and
comes from the “ground” heat source (collector,
borehole heat exchanger or groundwater via
intermediate exchanger). The gaseous refrigerant is
compressed (compressor), this causes the pressure
to rise and therefore the temperature too. The
gaseousrefrigerant with high temperatureisliqueed
(condenser).
Here the high temperature is discharged to the heating
water and is used in the heating circuit. The liquid
refrigerant with high pressure and high temperature
is expanded (expansion valve). The pressure and
temperature drop and the process begins again.
Due to the integrated changeover valve and the
integrated energy efciency circulation pump the
heated heating water can be used for charging the
domestic hot water or for heating the building. The
temperatures required and use are controlled by the
heat pump controller. Reheating, drying out screed or
increasing the domestic hot water temperature can
be carried out using the integrated electric heating
element, which is activated by the heat pump controller
as and when necessary.
An integrated overow valve ensures that the heat
pump does not switch to high-pressure fault if all
heating circuits are closed. The integrated vibration
isolators for the heating circuit and heat source prevent
structure-borne sound and vibrations from being
transferredontothexedpipesandthereforeintothe
building.

Cooling
Cooling is integrated in type K units. Type H units can
beretrottedwiththe“Coolingpackage”accessories.
The following options are possible for units with
cooling function ( operating manual of the heating
and heat pump controller):
●Passive cooling (without compressor)
●Control of the cooling function via the heating and
heat pump controller
●Switching between heating and cooling mode;
automatically with expansion board (accessories)
Networkconnectiononthecontrolunit
The control unit can be connected to a computer or
network via a network cable. The heating and heat
pump controller can then be controlled from the
computerorfromthenetwork.
4 Operation and care
NOTE
The unit is operated via the control unit
of the heating and heat pump controller
(operating manual of the heating and heat
pump controller).
4.1 Energy and environmentally
aware operation
The generally accepted requirements for energy-
aware and environmentally-aware operation of a
heating system also apply to use of a brine/water heat
pump. The most important measures include:
●No unnecessarily high ow temperature
●No unnecessarily high domestic hot water
temperature (note and follow local regulations)
●Do not open windows with gap /tilt open
(continuous ventilation), but instead open wide for
a short time (purge ventilation).
4.2 Maintenance
Wipe down the outside of the unit only using a damp
cloth or cloth with mild cleaning product (washing-up
liquid, neutral cleaning product). Do not use any harsh,
abrasive, acid or chlorine-based cleaning products.
5 Delivery, storage,
transport and installation
5.1 Scope of supply
NOTE

7 Flushing,llingandventing
7.1 Remove the front panel of the
module box
►Unscrew the front panel of the module box.
7.2 Heating water quality
NOTE
●For detailed information refer, among
other things, to the VDI Guidelines
2035 “Vermeidung von Schäden in
Warmwasserheizanlagen” (preventing
damage in hot water heating systems).
●Required pH value: 8.2 ... 10
●for aluminium materials: pH value:
8.2 ... 8.5
►Fill the system with deionised heating water (VE
water) only (low-salt operation of the system).
Advantages of low-salt operation:
●Low corrosion-promoting properties
●No formation of mineral scale
●Ideal for closed heating circuits
●ideal pH value due to self-alkalinisation after lling
the system
●If necessary, simple alkalinisation to pH value 8.2
by adding chemicals
7.3 Fill,ushandventheatsource
