4 Pipe connections
General information
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
the current standards and directives.
The pipe dimensions should not be less than the rec-
ommended pipe diameter according to the table below.
However, in order to achieve the recommended flow,
each installation must be dimensioned individually.
The system can be used with a low- and medium-tem-
perature climate system. The recommended tem-
perature of the heating medium at the dimensioned
outdoor temperature DOT must not exceed 55°C on
the supply and 45°C on the return circulation from the
climate system. BA-SVM 10-200 can reach up to 65°C
when using the electric additional heat or another peak
heat source.
An overflow pipe must be routed from the safety valve
to a suitable drain. The entire length of the overflow
pipe must be inclined towards the floor drain to pre-
vent water pockets and must also be frost-proof. In or-
der to reach maximum system efficiency, we recom-
mend installing BA-SVM 10-200 as close as possible to
the outdoor heat pump.
The BA-SVM 10-200 unit is not equipped with a shut-
off valve for the climate system. In order to facilitate
future servicing, the shut-off valves should be in-
stalled on the outside of the indoor unit.
The BA-SVM 10-200 unit can be docked to the central
heating, cooling operation and hot water systems. It
is absolutely necessary to install the supplied safety
assembly on connection XL11.

CAUTION
All high points in the climate system must be equipped
with air vents.
CAUTION
The pipelines need to be flushed out before the indoor
unit is connected so that any debris cannot damage
component parts.
CAUTION
Until the system’s heating/cooling circuit has been
filled with heating medium, the switch (SF1) in the
controller must not be set to “I” or „ ”. If you do not
comply with the above instructions, many compo-
nents of the BA-SVM 10-200 unit may be damaged.
Minimum system flow
The installation must be dimensioned at least to the
extent required to manage the minimum defrosting
flow at 100% circulation pump operation, see table.
CAUTION
An incorrectly dimensioned climate system can result
in damage to the appliance and lead to malfunctions.
BA-SVM 10-200 is equipped
with an expansion vessel with
a 10l capacity.The pressure set-
ting in the level vessel should
be set according to the maxi-
mum height (H) between the
vessel and the highest-posi-
tioned radiator, see drawing.
An initial pressure of 0.5 bar
The expansion vessel’s volume must be at least 5% of
the system’s total volume. BA-SVM 10-200 appliances
have been equipped with an expansion vessel with a
10l volume. If the capacity of the built-in expansion
vessel is insufficient, an additional expansion vessel
meeting the above requirements should be added to
the installation.
Table with examples:

H
(5 mvp) means a maximum permissible height dif-
ference of 5 m. The maximum volume of the system
without a boiler is 220 l at the above initial pressure.
Pipe connections
CAUTION
In the installation before the BA-SVM 10-200, a par-
ticulate filter should be used, dedicated for heating
installations. The filter will protect the unit against pol-
lution.
CAUTION
Ensure that incoming water is clean. When using a pri-
vate well, it maybe necessary to supplement with an
extra water filter.

11NIBE BA-SVM 10-200
The BA-SVM 10-200 indoor unit is equipped with a
storage tank with a hot water coil, expansion ves-
sel, safety group, electric additional heat, reversing
valves, plate heat exchanger, energy meter, electron-
ic circulation pump and controller. Combined together
with the NIBE SPLIT (AMS 10) outdoor air heat pump
unit, it forms a complete climate system.
The AMS 10 outdoor unit supplies thermal energy for
heating domestic water, powering the climate sys-
tem, heating swimming pools and cooling operation,
using free energy contained in the air outside, work-
ing efficiently in the low temperature range, as low
as -20°C.
The connection of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit
BA-SVM 10-200, with a system of pipes filled with re-
frigerant, protects the connection against freezing in
the event of interruptions in the electric power supply
to appliances. The system’s operations are controlled
using an advanced controller.
The control mechanism of BA-SVM 10-200 allows for
two cooling operation systems to be used:
• 2-pipe cooling system,
• 4-pipe cooling system.
System diagram
NOTE
BA-SVM is equipped with all temperature sensors as
standard. In some system layouts, the sensors must be
transferred to other parts of the system. For location of
the sensors, see the relevant point on docking the sys-
tem.
NOTE
In the event that the water volume of the central heating
system is increased using a buffer vessel, you will need
to check the system volume and possibly increase the
volume of the existing expansion vessel.
Section 4 | Pipe connections
If the standard initial pressure in the expansion vessel
is too low, this can be increased by filling it via the
installed valve. The expansion vessel’s standard initial
pressure must be entered in the checklist on page 5.
Any change in the initial pressure affects the ability of
the expansion vessel to handle the expansion of the
heating medium.
CAUTION
In order to obtain the minimum undisturbed flow in
the climate system, use the appropriate hydraulic solu-
tions (e.g. relief valve, low loss header, parallel buff-
er and/or open heating loops). Remember to always
maintain the minimum required flow in the system -
see the subsection “Minimum system flow”.
Buffer vessel
Minimum climate system volumes
NOTE
It is recommended to have an expansion vessel in the
hot water system. However, it is required to install a
safety valve with the required opening pressure.
The heat pump installation requires an appropriate
volume of heating medium (approx. 10l/kW heat
pump power) and a minimum, undisturbed flow.
In case of an insufficient amount of heating medium
in the installation, an additional buffer vessel must be
used, which will ensure adequate system volume,
see subsection “Minimum climate system volumes”.
An insufficient flow in the central heating system will
cause malfunction of the heat pump installation and
could lead to serious damage of the product.

The operating principle of the 2-pipe system is to
use the same installation for cooling operation as
for heating (Diagram of 2-pipe cooling operation). In
the 2-pipe system, the control mechanism operates
The operating principle of the 4-pipe system is to use
separate heating and cooling circuits. In the 4-pipe sys-
tem, a cooling tank is required. The BT64 sensor should

Docking the indoor unit
Docking the climate system
An external heat source with a maximum power of
15kW, e.g. a gas or oil boiler, can be connected to the
back of the BA-SVM 10-200 unit by removing the plate
blocking access to the connection ports (see drawing
below). Diagram- see p.11.
The BA-SVM 10-200 unit has a condensate hose to drain
the condensation water from the drip tray located under
the hot water tank. The pipe drains all of the condensa-
tion water away from the appliance, minimizing the risk
of damage. This pipe can be extended if needed.
The refrigerant pipes must be installed between the
AMS 10 outdoor unit and the BA-SVM 10-200 indoor unit.
Installation must be carried out in accordance with the
current standards and directives.

Both BA-SVM 10-200 and AMS 10 are factory tested
for pressure and leakage, but the refrigeration pipe
connections between appliances should be checked
for leakage after installation. When connecting the pipes, carrying out pressure
tests and leak tests, and creating the vacuum, re-
member to keep the service valves (QM35, QM36)
closed. In order to fill the pipes of BA-SVM 10-200
with refrigerant, they must be reopened.
Connections:
Principle:
• Refrigerant pipes (both liquid and gas) must be
insulated for the purpose of thermal insulation
and in order to avoid condensation.
• Use insulation that can withstand at least 120°C.
Use a vacuum pump to remove all air. Apply suction
for at least one hour and end pressure after evacua-
tion must be 1mbar (100 Pa, 0.75 Torr or 750 micron)
absolute pressure. If the system is still damp or leak-
ing, the vacuum will decrease after the draining has
finished.
CAUTION
The pipe connection between the indoor unit and the
outdoor unit must be leak tested. Then create a vac-
uum for the completed pipeline after finishing instal-
lation, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
Only nitrogen must be used for compression and dry-
ing of the completed pipeline.
TIP
To achieve a better end result and speed up creation of
the vacuum, please follow the below points:
• The pipelines should have the correct diameter
and length.
• Drain the system to 4 mbar and fill it with dry
nitrogen to atmospheric pressure.
AMS 10 is delivered complete with the refrigerant
required for the installation of refrigerant pipes with
lengths of up to 15 m on either side.
If the length of the refrigerant pipes exceeds 15 m,
extra refrigerant must be added in the amount of
0.02kg/m for BA-SVM 10-200/6 or 0.06 kg/m for BA-
SVM 10-200/12.

Docking the indoor unit
Docking during use without heat pump
Connecting cold and hot water
The BA-SVM 10-200 unit is not equipped with a shut-off
valve for the central heating system, hot water system
or electric additional heat; these must be installed on
the outside of the indoor unit to facilitate any future ser-
vicing.
It is not necessary to change the configuration of the
hydraulic connections for the indoor unit to work in-
dependently without the outdoor unit.
The hot water tank should be connected to a water
supply system with water pressure of min. 1 bar,
max. 10 bar. If the pressure at the cold water inlet to
the tank is higher than the permissible level, use a
pressure reducer. During heating of the water in the
tank, the pressure increases, which is why each tank
must be equipped with the appropriate safety valve,
installed on the cold water supply, which will protect
the tank against an excessive increase in pressure.
If using hot water circulation, see subsection “Hot
water circulation”.

CAUTION
It is forbidden to install any constrictors (e.g. reduc-
ers, particle filter, etc.) and shut-off valves between
the storage tank and the safety valve. Only fitting a
tee with a draining valve and a tee with an expansion
vessel is permitted.
CAUTION
It is absolutely necessary to install a properly selected
safety valve on the cold water supply pipe.
CAUTION
Do not use the appliance if the safety valve is blocked.
