1) Introduction
Domestic Hot Water Heat Pumps (DHW-HP), with or without air connections ducts, use the heat existing in the
surrounding air, or the wasted heat from the indoor air, as energy source for DHW preparation.
This model of domestic hot water heat pump provides hot water for residential purposes, using a closed refrigerant
unit filled with R134a. This ensures the energy production taking out the energy from the air –the cold source –
and delivers the energy to a secondary circuit –the water –where a simple circulation pump, ensures the water
movement through a plate heat exchanger, heating the water that is stored in a tank.
2) Working Principle
There are 2 variants of heat pumps, depending on the working conditions:
-Positive working temperatures: +5ºC / +35ºC
-Negative working temperatures: -10ºC / +35ºC
Note: In case the air temperature is out of the specified working range, the appliance automatically activates the
electrical back up (if in Combi mode). One hour after the warning display (HOT or COLD) has appeared; the
appliance checks the air temperature and, in case it is within the range values, returns to heat pump mode
operation.
The control loop for air temperature check is done every hour, while the electrical backup is in operation.

Conditions for operation:
The heat pump compressor is activated according to the following conditions and control unit settings,
nevertheless, following sequence is always verified when connecting to the main power, when an error code is
reseated or the appliance stops due to reaching the selected temperature.
In the current service manual version, the software specific functions are indicated according Software Version at
control unit identification sticker.

From FD ≥ 454 (June 2014):
HPAF0502 (-10ºC / + 35ºC models)
HPAF0702 (+5ºC / +35ºC models)
Changes done in new version:
- “Syst” message indication in case of detection of PV energy production;
+
- Introduction of new parameter “Rcir” (see IM) for software information about existence of external recirculation of
domestic hot water;
- E09 / E11 lockout activates automatically electrical heater to ensure minimum 40ºC hot water in tank (in combi or
in heat pump mode).
From FD ≥ 555 (July 2015):
HPAF0503 (-10ºC / + 35ºC models)
HPAF0703 (+5ºC / +35ºC models)
oSet Point –default set point of 50ºC was changed to 54ºC due to ErP directive;
oOperation in Automatic Mode –in previous version was not possible to deactivate the external booster
heater (boiler = boil ON) according the defined automatic program mode (P1, P2, P3) in combination with
boiler. The boiler did not switch off after reaching the set point and the correction was using only manual mode.
oFull Mode –the manual (FULL) activation will have from now on, priority even in inactivity periods defined in
P1 / P2 / P3.

oComfort Improvement –to improve comfort a waiting time was introduced, so while heating, the appliance will
be able to detect if the user is tapping water. In situations where the storage tank has an uniform temperature
near the set point and a tapping is detected, the heat pump will stop for 1 hour to maximize the use of hot water
in top part.
oChanges in Air Defrost sequence
(Attention: only +5ºC / +35ºC model)
Current Behavior:
Air defrost sequence is activated during 10 min with fan On and compressor Off when 5ºC < Tair (3d) < 10ºC for
more than 60 min and compressor is ON for more than 60 min. The number of air defrost (8d) will depend on other
conditions listed in this manual.
This new software version brings additionally an air defrost sequence activated during 45 min when 0ºC < Tair <
5ºC, as due to ErP directive and to decrease electrical consumption for cold climate the appliance wilkl be allowed
to operate when possible below minimum limit.

Anti-Freeze Protection
The anti freeze protection is designed to protect both the module and the tank and is active in all conditions,
specially, when the appliance is set in Heat Pump, standby, OFF and Holyday (Hol) modes.
Note: In order to ensure the anti freeze protection activation, the mains plug must not be disconnected.
