Commissioning Guide

Page: 3 of 15
This document must be read in association with the Chofu Installation Manual provided with the unit. It is essential the
manual is read and followed to ensure the installation is as per manufacturer’s criteria. The purpose of this document
is to assist with the commissioning of the heat pump parameters and the connection of third party controls.

Pre-Commissioning Checks
Prior to Filling with water
A: Ensure the heat pump is installed in accordance with the installation manual.
B: Ensure the power is isolated to the unit.
C: Remove the side cover of the unit to expose the water pump, compressor and electrical enclosure.
D: Check the pre-charge of the expansion vessel is set to 1 bar.
Filling the System with Water
Thoroughly ush the system with a ushing cart or suitable mains pressure, until there is no sign of air returning
through the primary feed pipes. This will remove most of the air from the system. Now pressurise the system to
1 Bar on the heat pumps pressure gauge. The heat pump has a pump run switch on the terminal PCB under the
side cover of the heat pump. This allows the circulation pump to be run manually to help fully vent the system
of air. Ensure the automatic air vents in the system are open.

Heat Pump Controller (connection)
The Chofu heat pump controller must be installed to manage the heat pump operation. The controller is not rated
for outdoor use, installation indoors in a dry place is recommended; i.e. garage or service cupboard.
Terminal #1 and #2.
Low voltage, not polarity sensitive.
DO NOT APPLY 230V TO THESE TERMINALS.

0800 357 1233 | [e-mail] | trade.centralheating.co.nz Page: 6 of 15
Connect room thermostat wiring to terminals #20, #21 via the normally open contacts of the room thermostat. The
thermostat requires volt free contacts to open/close terminals #20, #21. If the thermostat features a switched live
output for on/o, an external relay with volt free contacts will need to be used. Open contacts = O; Closed contacts
= On. These terminals are enabled when changing parameter 5120. See system conguration for more details.
If your room thermostat has heating and cooling functionality it can change the operating mode of the heat
pump. Connect the thermostat changover wiring to terminals #24, #25 via the normally open contacts of the
room thermostat. The thermostat requires volt free contacts to open/close terminals #24, #25. If the thermostat
features a switched live output for changover, an external relay with volt free contacts will need to be used.
Open contacts = Heating; Closed contacts = Cooling. These terminals are enabled when changing parameter 5124.

together for 3 seconds.
2. The parameter number (4 digits) will be displayed,
and the value of the parameter. (2 of the 4 parameter
digits will be ashing).
3. Change these (ashing) numbers using the Up/Down
buttons, or
4. Change to the other 2 digits using the +/– buttons,
or and changes these too if necessary.
5. Press the Set button
6. The parameter value will now ash.
7. Change value using the or buttons.
8. Press the Set button to conrm the new value.
9. To default back to the main menu, press together for
3 seconds. The controller will default back to the main menu screen.

System Operational Checks
Once the heat pump is set up, it is a very good idea to check that everything works as intended and that
the heat pump starts and stops when it should in response to the controls used, and there is a good ow rate
at the manifolds and radiators get hot.
Checking Sensor Values
Ensure these temperatures are recorded when the heat pump is running steadily.
Alternatively these can be viewed from the outdoor units terminal PCB.
Display on PCB (Terminal) display
• Turn On the dip SW4 on the PCB (Terminal) to display
the monitor number and monitor data alternately.
• Push the Pump SW, of the PCB (Terminal) to switch
the display number alternately.

Resetting Errors
The procedure to reset the error display diers between error codes and there are 3 ways to reset: Auto, Power O,
and Manual. See “List of Errors codes”in the Chofu installation manual for the procedure to reset each error code.
Auto: Automatically. Once it returns to normal condition, the error will be reset. When the unit stops, it may
not be possible to reset automatically. Then, it needs to be reset manually.
Power O: Manually. If Heat pump unit returns to normal condition, turn O the power supply once and turn On
again, then the error will be reset.
Manual: Manually. To reset the error, press – and + button of the Master Remote controller at the same time for
3 seconds, or press Reset SW on the PCB (Terminal).
If the error persists please contact our technical aftersales team for assistance with the fault:
[e-mail] or call 0800 357 1233
If an excessive ow rate occurs due to low pressure loss of the circulating loop, adjust the Main water pump
speed so that the ow rate is reduced.
Using the Dip switches on the PCB (Terminal) – as noted on the above diagram, 3-Pump speeds are available.
Be aware that an excessively low ow rate may cause problems including diminished capacity, poor circulation, or
system errors.
At the factory shipment, both SW5 and SW6 are O, which means the pump will operate at maximum.
