2.5 Safety valves
Warning Never block the connection to the safety
valves' overflow pipes.
The following safety precautions apply to the hot water circuit’s safety valve with corresponding overflow pipe:
▪Water expands when it is heated, which 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 to prevent any risk of burning yourself.

3 About your heat pump
3.1 Product description
The DHP-M heat pump is a heating system for heating and, if an external water heater is installed (accessory),
for hot water production. It has a compressor which is customised for heat pumps.
The DHP-M heat pump is equipped with control equipment which is presented in a graphic display. The control
equipment is also prepared for monitoring via the internet.
Heating is provided to the building via a water-borne heating system. The heat pump supplies as much of the
heat demand as possible before auxiliary heating is engaged to assist.
The DHP-M heating unit consists of two basic components:
Heat pump unit
The heat pump consists of:
▪Scroll compressor
▪Stainless steel heat exchanger
▪Circulation pumps for collector system and heating system
Control equipment
The control equipment controls the incoming components of the heating appliance (compressor, circulation
pumps, auxiliary heating and exchange valve) and keeps track of when the pump should start and stop, as well
as whether it should produce heating for the building or hot water.
The control equipment consists of:
▪Colour touch screen and relay module
▪Temperature sensors (outdoor, supply line, return line, brine and hot water)
3.2 Water heater
The DHP-M heat pump can also produce hot water for an external water heater. The temperature of the water
supplied to the water heater is controlled by the start and stop temperature.

4 Control system
The heat pump has an integrated control system which automatically calculates the heat demand in the build-
ing to ensure that the correct amount of heat is produced and emitted when necessary.
A touch screen is connected to the control system.
The display is used for:
▪making settings such as:
▪setting heating
▪adjusting the heat curve
▪displaying operating data such as:
▪temperatures
▪operating time
▪version information

5 Settings and adjustments
A qualified installer sets the heat pump's basic settings upon installation. The adjustments that may be made
by the installer/user are described below.
N
Never change control unit settings unless you
are aware of what effects the changes may
have.
Make a note of the default setting.
5.1 Adjusting the indoor temperature
The heat curve is a graph that compares the outdoor temperature with the supply temperature. The colder the
outdoor temperature is, the more heat is supplied to the heating system. The heat curve is adjusted during
installation. It must however be re-adjusted later to obtain a pleasant indoor temperature in all weather condi-
tions.
For an explanation of the factory pre-set heat curve, see Adjusting the Heat Curve.
The following examples are based on a heat curve set to 40:
At an outdoor temperature of 0°C the supply temperature should be 40°C. Note that this is only a benchmark.
There are radiator systems, floor heating systems and other types of heating system which require either lower
or higher temperatures.
At outdoor temperatures below 0°C, supply line water hotter than 40°C is supplied to the radiators. Supply line
water colder than 40°C is supplied if the outdoor temperature is above 0°C.
A correctly set heat curve reduces the need for maintenance, as well as making operation more energy-effi-
cient.
The indoor temperature is adjusted by changing the heat curve of the heat pump. This curve is the control
system's tool for calculating the correct supply temperature of water for the heating system.
User Guide DHP-M
Danfoss Heating Solutions VUMIB102 11

Comfort adjustment, to change temperature
Comfort adjustment means moving the whole curve upwards or downwards.
Drag clockwise or anticlockwise to raise or lower the offset. Each point
represents an increase/decrease of approximately 1°C on the supply
line temperature.
Alternatively, press or
NOTE: This option should be primarily used for temporary temperature adjustments. When permanently
changing the indoor temperature for a more precise indoor climate, change the heat curve settings.
