1. General information
Thank you for purchasing an ecoSMART e-source source manager with your ecoGEO HP heat pump.
This manual contains information about installing, commissioning and troubleshooting the device. There is also useful information
for the end user, such how to navigate and adjust parameters via the control panel.
To ensure optimal performance of the e-source manager, read this manual carefully before installation and commissioning. Keep
this manual handy for future reference.
This manual contains two different kinds of warnings that should be heeded.
NOTE
Indicates a situation that may cause material damage or equipment malfunction. This may also be
used to indicate practices that are recommended or not recommended for the equipment.
DANGER!
Warning of imminent or potential danger which, if not avoided, may result in injury or even death.
This may also be used to warn of unsafe practices.
The e-source manager has been designed to work together with an ecoGEO HP heat pump or together with a cascade of several
ecoGEO HP heat pumps controlled by a supervisor module.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any material damage and/or personal injury resulting from improper use or incorrect
installation of the equipment.
The device must be installed by a licensed installer in accordance with applicable local regulations and in accordance with the
instructions described in the installation manual.
1.1. Safety considerations
The detailed instructions in this section cover important safety aspects and must therefore be strictly complied with.
DANGER!
All the installation and maintenance work described in this manual must be performed by an
authorised engineer.
Improper installation or use of the equipment could cause electrocution, short circuits, leakage of
working fluids, fire or other personal injuries and/or material damage.
If you are unsure of the procedures for installation, maintenance or use of the equipment, contact
your local dealer or technical support for advice.
If you detect a malfunction in the unit, contact your local dealer or technical support to answer any
questions.
This equipment should not be handled by people with physical, sensory or psychological disabilities,
children and people with no suitable experience or knowledge, unless it is under the supervision or
direction of a person responsible for their safety.
When carrying out installation, maintenance or commissioning of the heat pump, always use
appropriate personal protective equipment.
Keep the plastic bags included in the packaging out of the reach of children, as improper use could
result in injury caused by asphyxia.

Hydraulic installation
Installation and subsequent interventions on the hydraulic circuits controlled by the e-source manager must be performed only by
an authorised technician in accordance with applicable local regulations and the instructions provided in this manual.
DANGER!
Do not touch the pipes while the unit is in operation or immediately after, as this may result in burns
caused by cold or heat. If these components need to be touched, allow sufficient time for the
temperatures to stabilise and wear protective gloves to avoid injury.
Electrical system
Any intervention on the electrical system must only be performed by an authorised electrician in accordance with applicable local
regulations and the instructions provided in this manual.
DANGER!
The power supply to the unit must have an external switch that can shut off all the circuits. Ecoforest
recommends installing an automatic external switch for each of the electrical power sources (power
supply of the e-source manager and power supply of devices controlled by its DO digital outputs).
Please note that the unit may have more than one electrical power source.
Before performing any operation on the unit, disconnect the power supply.
During installation and maintenance of the unit, never leave the cover open unattended.
Do not touch any electrical component with wet hands, as this could cause an electric shock.
Scrapping
The e-source manager is made from a variety of materials and must therefore be delivered to an authorised centre for proper
scrapping and recycling of said materials.
1.2. Maintenance
The e-source no manager does not require any specific maintenance after commissioning. The internal controller constantly
monitors a large variety of parameters and will alert you if any problem or incident occurs, in which case we recommend that you
contact your dealer.
DANGER!
All maintenance work must be performed by an authorised technician. Improper handling of the
equipment as a whole can result in personal injury and/or damage to materials.
Do not spill water or other liquids directly on the casing or inside it, as this could cause an electric
shock or fire.

2. General description
The ecoSMART source manager is an electronic controller designed to manage several brine energy sources, such as geothermal
circuits or antifreeze/air aerothermal units. It can work with a single ecoGEO HP heat pump or with a cascade of several ecoGEO HP
heat pumps controlled by an ecoSMART supervisor module. In order to do so, pLAN bus communication must be established with
the heat pump or cascade of heat pumps.
The e-source manager can manage up to four independent brine sources. Each source can be configured as an aerothermal or
geothermal brine source. It is also able to control defrosting of each of the aerothermal sources independently and in sequence,
while the heat pump(s) continue(s) to work with the other sources. It can also control a general circulator pump for all brine
sources.
3. Installation
3.1. Transport and handling
Transport the e-source manager so that it is protected from bad weather.
3.2. Dimensions
The general dimensions of the unit are set out below.
Figure 3.1. General dimensions (in mm).
3.3. Unpacking
To unpack the e-source manager, carefully remove the box and check that the unit has not been damaged during transportation.

3.4. Fitting and removing the cover
A 4 mm Allen wrench is required to assemble and disassemble the cover. Remove the front cover by loosening the four screws and
pulling it.
Figure 3.2. Removing the front cover of the e-source manager.
NOTE
When removing the cover, take care to remove the control panel cable without damaging it.
3.5. Location and assembly
Choose a dry place where there is no risk of frost. The e-source manager module must be installed on a stable wall that can support
the full weight of the unit. Use a spirit level to ensure that it is completely horizontal.
Figure 3.3. Positioning the e-source manager.

3.6. Service areas
The minimum recommended distances around the e-source manager to facilitate installation, commissioning and maintenance are
set out below.
Figure 3.4. Recommended minimum service areas around the e-source manager (in mm).
4. Electrical system
DANGER!
The power supply to the unit must have an external switch that can shut off all the circuits.
Ecoforest recommends installing an automatic external switch for each of the electrical power
sources (power supply of the e-source manager and power supply of devices controlled by its DO
digital outputs).
Please note that the unit may have more than one electrical power source.
Before performing any operation on the unit, disconnect the power supply.
During installation and maintenance of the unit, never leave the cover open unattended.
Do not touch any electrical component with wet hands, as this could cause an electric shock.
