1.1 Package
• 1 package: Outdoor unit.
• 1 package: Hydraulic unit and outdoor sensor.
1.2 Denitions
- Split: The heat pump consists of two elements
(an outdoor unit for outdoor and a hydraulic unit for
inside the dwelling).
- Air/water: The surrounding air is the energy source.
This energy is transmitted to the water in the heating
circuit by the heat pump.
-Inverter: The fan and compressor speeds are modulated
according to the heating requirements. This technology
enables you to save on energy and operate on a single-
phase power supply, whatever the heat pump's output,
by avoiding heavy intensities on start-up.
-COP (coe󰀩cient of performance): This is the
relationship between the energy transmitted to the
heating circuit and consumed electrical energy.

1.5 Operating principle
The heat pump transmits the energy contained in the
surrounding air into the dwelling to be heated.
The heat pump consists of four main elements, in which
a refrigerant uid (R410A) circulates.
- In the evaporator (ref. 13, gure 7, page 9) :
The energy is taken from the surrounding air and is
transmitted to the refrigerant. Because it has a low
boiling point, it changes from the liquid state to the
vapour state, even in cold weather (down to -25°C
outdoor temperature).
- In the compressor (ref. 10, gure 7, page 9) :
The vaporised refrigerant brought to high pressure
and takes on more calories.
- In the condenser (ref. 14, gure 8, page 10) :
The energy in the refrigerant is transmitted to the
heating circuit. The refrigerant returns to liquid state.
-In the expansion valve (ref. 9, gure 7, page 9) :
The liqueed refrigerant is brought back to low pressure
and returns to its initial temperature and pressure.
The heat pump is equipped with a controller, which
controls the room temperature based on the outdoor
temperature measurement and governed by the
temperature control. The room thermostat (option)
provides a corrective action for the temperature control.
The hydraulic unit can be optionally tted with an
electrical back-up system or boiler connection which
starts up in order to provide addtional heating during the
coldest periods.
• Regulation functions
- The heating circuit's initial temperature is controlled by
the temperature control.
- The power of the outdoor unit is modulated according
to ow heating temperature via the "Inverter"
compressor.
- Control of the electrical back-up heating (option).
- The daily timer program enables you to dene
the periods for comfortable or reduced ambient
temperature.
- Summer/winter mode switchover is automatic.
- Control of the supplementary boiler* (options).
- The room thermostat (option)*: provides a corrective
action for the temperature control.
- Control of a second heating circuit*.
- Domestic hot water*: Heating time program, control of
the operation of the DHW circulation pump.
- Managing the cooling*.
- Control of swimming pool heating*.
* If the heat pump is equipped with optional equipment and the
associated kits.
• Protection functions
- Anti-legionella cycle for domestic hot water.
-Frost protection: Frost protection cuts in if the low-
temperature point of the heating circuit falls below 5°C.

• Domestic hot water (DHW) operating principle
Two domestic hot water (DHW) temperatures can be
parametered: nominal temperature (line 1610 to 55°C)
and reduced temperature (line 1612 to 40°C).
The default heat pump program (line 560, 561 and 562)
is set for nominal temperature from 0:00 to 5:00 and
from 14:30 to 17:00 and for reduced temperature for the
rest of the day. This optimizes electrical consumption
while ensuring comfortable availability of hot water.
Setting for reduced temperature can be useful to prevent
the DHW from switching on too often and for too long
during the day.
The production of domestic hot water (DHW) is triggered
when the temperature in the tank falls 7°C (setting from
line 5024) below the set temperature.
The heat pump produces the domestic hot water, which
is then additively heated, if required, by electrical back-
up heating inside the tank. To ensure a DHW setting
over 45°C, the electrical back-up heating or the boiler
must be left on.
Depending on how the parameter (1620) is set, nominal
temperature can be reached 24h/day or only at night or
depending on the heat pump program.
If the contract concluded with the energy provider
includes a subscription to day/night tari󰀨, the electrical
backup is subordinate to the supplier’s power tari󰀨 and
the comfort temperature may only be reached at night.
If no particular contract is concluded, the comfort
temperature can be reached at any time, including
during the day
The production of DHW takes priority over heating;
nevertheless the production of DHW is controlled by
cycles that control the times assigned to the heating
and the production of DHW in the event of simultaneous
demand.
A function to switch from "reduced" to "nominal"
is provided on the front of the user interface.
(see ref. 5, gure 39, page 40).
Anti-legionella cycles can be programmed.
• Fan convectors with integrated control system
Do not use a room sensor in the area.

appearance of the appliances and check that the
outdoor unit is not laid on its side or back.
In the case of any dispute, state any appropriate
reservations to the carrier in writing within 48 hours and
send a copy of this letter to the After-Sales service.
2.2.2 Handling
The outdoor unit should not be laid on its side or back
during transport.
If not kept upright during transport, the appliance could
be damaged through displacement of the refrigerant
and deformation of the compressor suspension.
Any damage caused by transportation of the unit lying
down is not covered by the warranty.
If necessary the outdoor unit may be tilted only during
manual handling (to go through a door or use a staircase).
This operation must be conducted very carefully and
the appliance must be immediately restored to upright
position.
2.2.3 Containment of refrigerant circuits
All refrigerant circuits fear contamination from dust and
moisture. If such pollutants introduced into refrigeration
circuit, they can contribute to degrade the reliability of
the heat pump.
"It’s necessary to ensure correct containment
connections and refrigerant circuits (hydraulic
unit, outdoor unit).
"In case of subsequent failure and expertise, the
nding of the presence of moisture or foreign
objects into the compressor oil would lead to
systematic exclusion of warranty.
- Check upon receipt that the ttings and the refrigeration
circuit caps mounted on hydraulic unit and outdoor unit
are properly seated and locked (impossible to loosen
bare hands). If this is not the case, tighten them using
an against wrench.
- Check also that the refrigerant connections are sealed
(plastic caps or tubes crushed at the ends and soldered).
If the caps must be removed during installation (tubes
cut by example), put back them as soon as possible.

2.3 Installation of refrigerant connections
" Manipulate the pipes and made their
crossing (slab or wall) with protective caps in
place or after brazing.
"Keep the protective caps or ends soldered to
the commissioning of the appliance.
The outdoor unit must be connected to the hydraulic
unit only with new copper pipes and connections
(Refrigerant quality), insulated separately.
Respect the pipes diameters (gure 18, page 19).
Observe the maximum and minimum distances between
the hydraulic unit and the outdoor unit (gure 18, page 19),
the guarantee of the performances and the system's
service life depend on this.
The minimum length of the refrigerant connections
is 5 m for correct operation.
The appliance will be excluded from guarantee if it is
used with refrigerant connections less than 5 m long
(tolerance +/- 10%).
If the refrigerant connections are exposed to weathering
or UV- and the insulation is not strong, it is necessary to
provide protection.

2.4 Installation of the outdoor unit
2.4.1 Installation precautions
"The outdoor unit must only be installed outdoor
(outdoors). If a shelter is required, it must have
broad openings on the 4 walls and observe the
installation clearances (gure 13).
• Choose the location of the appliance after discussion
with the client.
• Choose a site that is preferably sunny and sheltered
from strong cold predominant winds.
• The unit must be easily accessible for future installation
and maintenance work (page 16).
• Ensure that it is possible to make the connections to
the hydraulic unit easily.
• The outdoor unit is able to withstand bad weather but
avoid installing in a position where it is likely to be
exposed to signicant dirt or owing water (under a
defective gutter for example).
• Water may drain away from the outdoor unit when it
is operating. Do not install the appliance on a paved
terrace; choose a well-drained place (e.g. gravel
or sand). If the installation is in an area where the
temperature can be lower than 0°C for a long period,
check that the presence of ice does not present any
danger. A drainage pipe can also be connected to the
outdoor unit (see gure 14, page 15).
• Nothing should obstruct the air circulation through the
evaporator and from the fan (gure 13).
• Keep the outdoor unit away from heat sources and
inammable products.

• Make sure the appliance not disturb the surrounding
area or users (noise level, draught generated, low
temperature of the air being blown out, with the risk of
freezing plants in its path).
• The surface on which the appliance is installed must:
- be permeable (soil, gravel, etc),
- support its weight easily,
- provide a solid xing and
- not transmit any vibration to the dwelling.
(Anti-vibratory blocks are available as an option).
• The wall bracket can not be used in conditions likely to
transmit vibrations, ground position is preferred.
2.4.2 Outdoor unit positioning
The outdoor unit must be raised at least 50 mm above
ground level. In areas prone to snow, this height should
be increased but should not exceed 1.5 m (gure 12).
- Fasten the outdoor unit by means of screws and
rubber tightening or toothed lock washers to avoid
their coming loose.
"Warning
In the area with heavy snowfall, if the intake and outlet
of outdoor unit is blocked with snow, it might become
di󰀩cult to get warm and it is likely to cause of the
breakdown.
Please construct a canopy and a pedestral or place the
unit on high stand (local congured).
- Set the unit on a strong stand, such as one made of
concrete blocks to minimize shock and vibration.
-Do not set the unit directly on the ground because it will
cause trouble.
2.4.3 Condensate drain hose
(see gure 12).
"The outdoor unit can generate a large volume of
water (called condensate).
If the use of a discharge pipe is imperative:
- Use the elbow provided (C) to connect a 16mm-
diameter hose for draining away the condensate.
- Use the stopper or stoppers provided (B) to block the
opening of the condensate tank.
Allow for the condensate to ow away under the force of
gravity (waste water, rain water, gravel bed).
"If the installation is made in an area where
the temperature can be lower than 0°C for
a long period, provide the drain pipe with a
trace resistance to avoid it icing up. The trace
resistance must heat not only the pipe but
also the bottom of the appliance's condensate
collection tank.

2.5 Installing the hydraulic unit
2.5.1 Installation precautions
• Choose the location of the appliance after discussion
with the client.
• The room in which the appliance operates must
comply with the prevailing regulations.
• To facilitate maintenance and to allow access to the
various components, we recommend that you provide
su󰀩cient space all around the hydraulic unit.
350 mm
mini
1000 mm

• In accordance with EN 378-1 -2017 standard
(Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Safety and
environmental requirements), the system's hydraulic
unit and all refrigeration connections passing through
inhabited areas must comply with the minimum room
volume requirements shown hereafter.
The minimum volume of a room (in m3) is calculated
using the formula: "uid ll load" (in kg) / 0.39.
Alternatively, you must ensure that
- the location has natural ventilation through another
room where the combined volume of the two rooms is
greater than "liquid ll load" (in kg) / 0.39 kg/m³. The
opening between the two rooms must have a door
clearance of at least 1 cm.
- or that the location is mechanically ventilated.
• Be careful not to bring inammable gas near to the
heat pump during its installation, in particular when
it requires brazing. The appliances are not reproof
and should therefore not be installed in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
- To avoid condensation inside the condenser, remove
the refrigerant circuit caps only when completing the
refrigerant connections.
- If the refrigerant connection only occurs at the end of
the installation, be sure that the refrigerant circuit caps*
remain in place and tight throughout the installation
duration.

"This appliance uses refrigerant R410A.
Comply with the legislation for handling refrigerants.
3.1 Rules and precautions
"Connections must be made the day of the lling
the installation with gas (3.4, page 22).
• Minimum necessary tools
- Set of manometers (Manifold) with hoses exclusively
reserved for HFCs (Hydrouorocarbons).
- Vacuum gauge whith isolation valves.
- Vacuum pump specially for HFCs (use of a traditional
vacuum pump is authorized if, and only if, it is tted
with a non-return valve on the suction side).
- Flaring tool, Pipe-cutter, Deburring tool, Wrenches.
-Refrigerant gas leak detector certied (sensitivity 5g/year).
"Provision on using tools that have been in
contact with HCFCs (R22 for example) or CFCs.
"The manufacturer declines any liability with
regard to the guarantee if the above instructions
are not observed.
• Flared connections
"Lubrication with mineral oil (for R12, R22)
is forbidden.
- Only lubricate with polyolester refrigerant oil (POE). If
POE is not available, t without lubrication.
Coat the ared surface
with POE refrigerant oil.
Do not use mineral oil.
• Brazing on the refrigerant circuit (if necessary)
- Silver brazing (40% minimum recommended).
- Brazing only under dry nitrogen internal ux.
• Remarks
- After every intervention on the refrigerant circuit and
before nal connection, take care to replace the plugs in
order to avoid any pollution from the refrigerant circuit.
- To eliminate any lings in the pipes, use dry nitrogen
to avoid introducing any humidity that may adversely
a󰀨ect the appliances operation. In general, take every
precaution to avoid humidity penetrating into the
appliance.
- Proceed to insulate the "Gas" and "Liquid" pipes to
avoid any condensation. Use pipe insulators resistant
to temperatures over 90°C. In addition if the humidity
level in areas where the refrigerant pipes are installed
is expected to exceed 70%, protect the pipes with
pipe insulators. Use an insulating material thicker
than 15mm if the humidity level is 70~80%, and an
insulating material thicker than 20mm if the humidity
exceeds 80%. If the recommended thicknesses are
not observed under the conditions described above,
condensation will form on the surface of the insulation
material. Lastly, take care to use pipe insulators
whose thermal conductivity is 0.045 W/mK or less
when the temperature is 20°C. The insulation must be
impermeable to resist the passage of steam during the
defrosting cycles (breglass wool is prohibited).
3.2 Shaping the refrigerant pipes
3.2.1 Bending
The refrigerant pipes must be shaped only on a bending
machine or with a bending spring in order to avoid any
risk of crushing or breaking them.
"Warning !
• Remove the insulation material locally to bend the
pipes.
• Do not bend the copper to any angle over 90°.
Never bend pipes more than 3 times in the same
position otherwise traces of fracturing may appear (from
strain-hardening the metal).
3.2.2 Creating the arings
- Cut the pipe to an appropriate length with a pipe-cutter
without deforming it.
- Carefully deburr it, holding the pipe towards the bottom
to avoid introducing lings into the pipe.
- Remove the ared connection nut situated on the
valve to be connected and slip the pipe into the nut.
- Proceed to are, letting the pipe overow the aring
tool.
After aring, check the condition of the working
radius (L). This must not show any scratch or trace of
any fracturing. Also check the dimension (B).
