1.1 Controller s reen
Under normal operating conditions your LED screen should appear as below
(temperatures may vary.)
This controller has various timer functions that you will not need. You can set the date
and time, apart from this, all you need to set is your desired temperature with the arrow
buttons.

1.2 Cir ulation/filtration pump timer/ lo k
Setting the Time Clock (Guidelines only):
Time clock above illustrates auto mode with 12 daytime hours (between 9.00am and
9.00pm), n.b if the top slider switch is in the I position the filter pump will run
continuously, and in O will be off. There are many types and makes of timer; however
they all have this basic functionality. It is far better if you have or get fitted a timer with
a memory so that the settings do not shift after power interruptions.
It is recommended that for optimum filtration of an 8m x 4m or 10m x 5m pool with a
0.75 - 1.2 kW circulation/filter pump, the pump runs for 6 - 8 hours a day during the day,
i.e. from 10.00am until 6.00pm. This coincides with the optimum time settings for the
running of the heat pump too. As the ambient air temperature drops into the colder
months you may find that you need to increase the time that the circulation/filter pump
runs up to twelve hours to maintain the pool water temperature that you require.
Please note that in colder climates you may find that it becomes uneconomical to
maintain a high pool water temperature during the colder months, or that the
temperature loss is greater than the temperature gain provided by the heat pump. In
such cases you may decide that it is prudent to cease using your heater. Remember
during months where the outside ambient temperature drops to zero you must use the
by-pass and drain down your heat pump.

2. Installation.
Materials. To Install your Calyenty heat pump, you will need:
• x 50mm ball valves for the bye-pass.
• 2 x 50 mm pressure 90°elbow fittings.
• 2 x 50 mm pressure T fittings.
• Adequate 50mm pressure tubing (rigid or flexible).
• uPVC solvent and cement.
• Adequate 2.5mm x core flexible electrical cable.
You may find that you need some more pressure fittings or 45°elbows depending on
where you position the heat pump in relation to your existing installation.
2.2 Tools:
Tape measure, hacksaw, Philips screwdriver, Drill + m8 masonry bit, strap wrench.
Do not over tighten any water fittings; hand tight should be sufficient to ensure a good
watertight seal.

2.3 Where to put the heat pump in the hydrauli system:
The unit is generally installed outdoors (for indoor installation, please consult Calyenty).
Install the unit downstream of all pumps and filters and upstream of all chlorinators,
ozonizers and chemical pumps.
2.4 Multiple heat pump installations:

6
Where more than one heat pump is to be installed it is essential that they are connected
to the water system in parallel, see diagram below:
2.5 Installation Pro edure:

7
1. This unit should be installed by a competent person.
2. All electrical work should be carried out by a qualified electrician / lampista.
. Check packaging for obvious signs of damage, before installation begins. Report
any damage to Calyenty before installation if you have concerns.
4. Please read the Installation & Operation Manuals carefully before you install or
operate the unit.
5. The company will not be responsible should someone be injured in the event of
the proper installation procedures have not having been adhered to.
6. Choose a suitable location for your heat pump. Remember this must satisfy your
aesthetic requirements, should be close to the filter pump, be on flat ground
(unless positioned on a custom bracket), be in a sunny position if possible and
comply with the space requirements as illustrated:
The unit needs continuous fresh air while running. Please leave enough space around
the unit for unobstructed air absorption and discharging. Don't keep the unit in an
enclosed area, or the discharged cold air will circulate in the unit again and
consequently lower the heating efficiency.
7. Lift the heat pump into place onto the base.

8. The water is fed through the heat pump using the circulation/filter pump. You
will need to identify the return pipe from the filter to the pool (this is often
marked RETURN). You will now need to cut into this return plumbing / pipe work
of the pool system. Before you make this cut, make sure that if there are shut off
valves/taps in this pipe-work, and that they are in the closed position. USEFUL
TIP: If there are not any taps, it is possible to do this work without draining the
pool by inserting wine bottle corks into the return jets. IMPORTANT – Make sure
that the connection from the filter goes to the pipe connector on the heat pump
marked WATER INLET. Connect the pipe connector on the heat pump marked
WATER OUTLET to the return pipe that continues to the pool jets. See diagram
on page below to ensure that the pipe work is connected correctly as shown.
When making uPVC connections, it is very important that the surfaces of both
the pipe and the fitting are clean and dry. It is also very important to thoroughly
wipe the surfaces with the solvent cleaner, as this starts the chemical reaction to
ensure a good bond when the adhesive is applied. Make sure that the adhesive
covers 100% of both surfaces that are to come in contact with each other.
9. Connect the supplied control panel to the snap connecters to complete the
installation. The control panel must be mounted in a convenient dry place,
preferably inside, under a terrace roof is OK provided the controller is out of
direct sunlight.
10. We recommend that the heat pump is fitted within 8 meters (25 feet) of the
existing circulation pump for maximum performance. This is not critical but could
slightly reduce the efficiency of the unit if positioned further than this distance.
11. If the water in the heat pump is allowed to freeze it will damage the unit. It is
essential for the guarantee to remain valid to drain the heat pump during
months where the outside ambient air temperature can drop to 0°C. Simply
close the ball valve / shutoffs and open the bye-pass. Drain the unit by removing
the lower most water connector.
12. Please make sure that minimum water flow speed is m³/h.
1 . While the unit is running, water in the air may condense on the fins of the
evaporator. If the air humidity is very high, the condensation water within an
hour can be several gallons.

2.6 Conne ting to the ele tri ity supply:
IMPORTANT: Power supply to the filter pump, and the heat pump, and the switching on
and off of both devices must be the same and simultaneous. Using the electrical entry
marked “Power Supply” connect the heat pump to the dead side of the filter pump
timer clock electricity supply. Please ensure this is carried out be a qualified Electrician
or Lampista. It is important to give the heat pump power supply its own RCD circuit
breaker. N.B. Please check that when the power to the filter pump is cut or times out
from the timer, the power to the heat pump is also cut and the back lit LCD controller
switches off.
Make sure no power is supplied to the unit while connecting.
Always comply with the national and local electrical codes and standards.
In case any emergency occurs, the unit must be equipped with a breaker, which is
located within sight and accessible from the unit.
The unit must be well earthed.
Several screws fix the electrical component front panel cover to the cabinet. Unscrew
and remove the front panel to connect the power cable to the terminal marked POWER.
You can ignore the terminal marked PUMP. Also plug in the control panel cable. When
the connections have been made, replace this front panel very carefully. Make sure that
it is fixed firmly by the screws. It is vital that the PCB/terminal cover is replaced properly,
make sure that the edges of the cover are underneath the corresponding edges of the
heat pump body and the water tight seal is snug between the surfaces.
Mains connection
It is recommended that a qualified technician connects your heat pump to the mains.
2.5mm cable must be present in the pool house connected to a 25amp circuit breaker in
the house main fuse box provided that the run is no more than 25m. Any greater
distance you must run a new cable of at least 4.0mm.
