2 Safety precautions
2.1 Installation and maintenance
Danger Only authorized installers may install, operate and perform maintenance and repair work on the unit.
Danger Only authorized electricians may modify the electrical installation.
Danger Only authorized refrigeration technicians may perform work on the refrigerant circuit.
2.2 System modifications
Only authorized installers are allowed to perform modifications on the following components:
▪The heat pump unit
▪Water and electrical installations
▪The safety valve
Do not make any constructions / installations that may affect the operational safety of the heat pump.
2.3 Safety valve
The following safety precautions apply to the safety valve in the hot water circuit and corresponding overflow pipe:
▪Do not block the outlet on the overflow pipe from the safety valve.
▪Water expands when it is heated, this means that a small amount of water is released from the system via the overflow pipe.
The water that exits the overflow pipe can be hot! Therefore, allow it to flow to a floor drain where there is no risk of burning your-
self.

3.2 Main functions
The heat pump can provide the following functions:
▪House heating for radiators or under-floor heating
▪Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
▪Cooling
▪Defrosting in cold weather conditions
▪Frost protection
▪Legionella prevention
Most of these functions are automatically controlled by the control system according to the need from the household or ambient tem-
peratures.
Cooling must be initiated manually from the key pad by the user. The heat pump behaviour is still automatically controlled by the con-
trol system.
The default function when starting the heat pump for the first time is house heating/DHW automatic mode. The production of hot water
is prioritized. When the hot water temperature reaches the set point, the heat pump automatically switches to house heating or cooling
depending on the user settings.
User Guide DHP-AT
VUGFC20202 Danfoss Heating Solutions

The heating system is normally configured for automatic house heating/DHW at commissioning. An appropriate heating curve and a
desired room temperature are selected by the installer. The heat pump will adjust the house heating water temperature in accordance
with the outside air temperature. The maximum water temperature for house heating is 50°C. The AUTO mode is for both comfortable
house heating and energy saving.
The heating function can be set to MANUAL mode, then the heat pump will produce a constant supply line temperature following the
setting in the control system.
The picture below shows a simplified view of the recommended heating curves and the temperature working range in AUTO mode.

N
The outside air temperature reference point for the heat curves is -6 °C.
Cooling
When the function is manually set to cooling, the machine will lower the indoor temperature. Note that the cooling capacity will de-
crease as the outdoor temperature increases.
Adjustable cooling supply line temperature range: 8-18 °C.
If the supply line water temperature drops below 2 °C the machine will stop. This to prevent inside components from freezing.
Error code 13 will be displayed.
Domestic hot water
The prioritized function is Domestic Hot Water (DHW). When the water temperature reaches the set point, the heat pump automatically
switches to house heating.
Defrosting
The heat pump will calculate and process the best defrosting programme depending on data collected from the temperature sensors.
During defrosting, components will start and stop at intervals (this is normal behaviour).
Defrosting can also be activated manually, this is only recommended when AUTO defrosting is not sufficient. This usually happens in the
temperature interval -5 to +5 °C and when outside air humidity is high. Under these conditions can heavy icing occur.
Legionella prevention
There is an automatic legionella prevention when the heat pump function is set to DHW. The automatic legionella prevention runs at
00:00 every 7:th day of operation. The water in the hot water tank will be heated to 65 °C for 15 minutes, using the hot water tank
electrical heater. This will kill any possible legionella bacteria inside the hot water tank.
3.3 Internal electrical heater
The internal electrical heater is used in situations when the heating from the heat pump is insufficient due to low air temperature or
when the heat pump itself has stopped.
The electrical heater will start in the following conditions:
▪The system discovers insufficient heating from the heat pump.
▪The heat pump stops (for protection) due to a failure, and at the same time, the water temperature has not reached the set point.
▪The heat pump is in defrosting mode.
▪During freezing protection, step 2.
3.4 Freeze protection
As long as there is power supplied to the heat pump, an automatic freeze protection function will prevent inside components from
freezing.
When this protective function is triggered, the controller will display either "Err 18" or "Err 19" depending on the temperature in the
system, this is not a fault. The unit will automatically recover once the conditions in the control system is met.

8 Regular checks
8.1 Checking operation
During normal operation, the alarm indicator is hidden to show that everything is OK. When an alarm is triggered, the alarm indicator
flashes and at the same time an error code is shown in the display.
Check the alarm indicator regularly to ensure that the appliance is work-
ing correctly. In the event of an alarm the heat pump will, if possible, sup-
ply heating to the house, primarily with the compressor, secondarily with
the internal electrical heater.
The hot water production will stop to indicate that something notewor-
thy has occurred.
Error code Description
00 Communication failure
01 Return water sensor (T9) failure
02 Supply water sensor (T8) failure
03 Water flow switch protection
04 Phase sequence error (only applies to 3-phase models)
05 Excessive temperature difference protection of supply and return water
06 Internal electrical heater overheat protection
07 Condenser overheat protection
08 Hot water tank sensor (T3) failure
09 Buffer tank sensor (T2) failure
10 High pressure protection
11 Low pressure protection
12 Supply water temperature too high
13 Supply water temperature too low
14 Return gas temperature sensor (T5) failure
15 Exhaust gas temperature sensor (T4) failure
16 Exhaust gas temperature overheat protection
17 Null
18 Frost protection, step 2 (non-fault)
19 Frost protection, step 1 (non-fault)
20 Air temperature sensor (T1) failure
21 Heating coil sensor (T7) failure
22 Cooling coil sensor (T6) failure
23 Exceeded operation range warning (non-fault)
8.2 Check the water level in the heating circuit
The line pressure of the installation must be checked once a month.
The external manometer (if available) must show a value between 1-1.5 bar. If the value is below 0.8 bar, when the water in the heating
system is cold, the water must be topped up (applies in the event of an empty expansion tank).
Ordinary tap water can be used when topping up the heating system. In certain exceptional cases, the water quality may be poor (for
example very hard water) and is not suitable for filling the heating system. If unsure, contact your installer.
N
The closed expansion tank contains an air filled bladder that absorbs variations in the heating system’s vol-
ume. Under no circumstances may it be drained of air.
User Guide DHP-AT
Danfoss Heating Solutions VUGFC20202 17

8.3 Checking safety valves
Warning If the safety valves are not checked regularly, the water tank might be damaged.
Both safety valves must be checked at least four times a year to prevent lime deposits clogging the mechanism.
Both safety valves is checked by turning the cap a quarter of a turn clockwise until the valve lets out some water through the overflow
pipe. If a safety valve does not work properly, it must be replaced. Contact your installer.
The safety valve in the water tank protects the enclosed heater against over pressure in the water tank. It is mounted on the cold water
inlet line, its outlet opening is facing downwards.
The safety valve lets out small amounts of water when the water tank is being charged, especially if a lot of hot water was used previous-
ly. This is a normal behaviour.
The opening pressure of the safety valves is not adjustable.
8.4 Cleaning strainer
N
The heat pump must be switched off at the external main switch before cleaning can be started.
N
The strainer must be cleaned twice a year after installation. The interval can be extended if there is evidence
that cleaning twice a year is not necessary.
N
Have a cloth at hand when opening the strainer cover as a small amount of water usually escapes.
