General
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
applicable regulations. See manual for compatible NIBE
air/water heat pump for installation of the heat pump.
The pipe dimension should not be less than the recom-
mended pipe diameter according to the table below.
However, each system must be dimensioned individually
to achieve the recommended system flows.
MINIMUM SYSTEM FLOWS
The installation must be dimensioned at least to manage
the minimum defrosting flow at 100% pump operation,

Temperature sensor
installation on pipe
LEK
LEK
The temperature sensors are fitted using heat conduct-
ing paste, cable ties (the first cable tie is secured to the
pipe in the middle of the sensor and the other cable tie
is mounted approx. 5 cm after the sensor) and alumini-
um tape. Then insulate them using the enclosed insula-
tion tape.
NOTE
Sensor and communication cables must not
be laid near power cables.
Fixed condensing
If SMO 40 is to control the air/water heat pump in rela-
tion to the water heater with fixed condensing, you must
connect an external supply temperature sensor (BT25),
according to the description on page 26. Place the
sensor in a suitable location in the tank In addition, you
must perform the following menu settings.

may be required)

Docking alternatives
SMO 40 can be connected with other products from
NIBE in several different ways, some of which are
shown below (accessories may be required).
Further option information is available at www.nibe.co.uk
and in the respective assembly instruction for the ac-
cessory used. See page 63 for a list of accessories that
can be used with SMO 40.
Installations with SMO 40 can produce heating and hot
water. Cooling can also be produced, depending on
which heat pump is used.
On cold days of the year when the access to energy
from the air is reduced the additional heating can com-
pensate and help to produce heat. The additional heating
is also good to have as assistance if the heat pump ends
up outside its working range or if it has been blocked
for any reason.
NOTE
The heating medium side and the domestic
hot water side must be fitted with the neces-
sary safety equipment in accordance with the
applicable regulations.
This is the outline diagram. Actual installations
must be planned according to applicable
standards.

Caution
NIBE does not supply all components in this
outline diagram.
This installation alternative is suitable for simpler install-
ations with a focus on low installation costs.
SMO 40 (AA25) starts and stops the heat pump (EB101)
to meet the heat and hot water demand of the installa-
tion. At simultaneous heating and hot water demand
the reversing valve switches (AA25-QN10) periodically
between the climate system and the water heater/accu-
mulator tank (CP10). When the hot water heater/accu-
mulator tank is fully charged (CP10), the reversing valve
switches (AA25-QN10) to the climate system.
Additional heat (EB1) is connected automatically when
the power demand for the installation exceeds the heat
pump capacity. This is used for both heating and char-
ging hot water.
The additional heat can also be used if a higher temper-
ature in the hot water is required than the heat pump
can produce.

Caution
NIBE does not supply all components in this
outline diagram.
This installations alternative is suitable for more complex
installations with a focus on comfort.
SMO 40 (AA25) starts and stops the heat pump (EB101)
to meet the heat and hot water demand of the installa-
tion. At simultaneous heating and hot water demand
the reversing valve switches (AA25-QN10) periodically
between the climate system and the water heater/accu-
mulator tank (CP10). When the water heater/accumulator
tank is fully charged (CP10), the reversing valve switches
(AA25-QN10) to the climate system and pool. When the
pool needs heating the reversing valve (CL11-QN19)
switches from the climate system to the pool system.
Additional heat (EB1) is connected automatically when
the energy demand exceeds the heat pump capacity.
Immersion heater (EB20) in the water heater/accumulat-
or tank (CP10) is used during the time to produce hot
water if the heat pump (EB101) is used for heating the
building at the same time.
The immersion heater (EB20) can also be used if a
higher temperature of hot water is required than the
heat pump can produce.
During cooling operation (requires compatible heat
pump), the reversing valve (EQ1-QN12) switches to the
cooling system (EQ1). If several demands occur while
there is a cooling demand, the installation reacts differ-
ently. In event of a hot water demand, the reversing
valve (EQ1-QN12) switches back and hot water is pro-
duced until the demand is fulfilled. In event of a heating
demand, the reversing valve (EQ1-QN12) instead
switches periodically between the demands. When the
cooling demand is met, the reversing valve switches
back to basic mode (heat/hot water).
Active cooling (in 4-pipe system) is selected in menu
5.4 - soft in/outputs.

Caution
NIBE does not supply all components in this
outline diagram.
Caution
Different types of demand (heating, hot water
etc.) mean different supply and return temper-
atures as well as different flows to the heat
pump.
When connecting pipes in installations with
several compressors and different heating de-
mands, ensure that these are separated so that
different return temperatures are not mixed.
Otherwise this can affect the heating installa-
tion's efficiency.
This installations alternative is suitable for more complex
installations with a focus on comfort.
SMO 40 (AA25) starts and stops the heat pumps
(EB101) and (EB102) to meet the heating and hot water
demands of the installation. The heat pump (EB103) is
used for heating and pool heating and heat pump
(EB104) is used for cooling, heating and pool heating.
At simultaneous heating and hot water demand the re-
versing valve switches (AA25-QN10) periodically
between the climate system and the water heater/accu-
mulator tank (CP10). When the hot water heater/accu-
mulator tank is fully charged (CP10), the reversing valve
switches (AA25-QN10) to the climate systems. When
the pool needs heating the reversing valve (CL11-QN19)
or (CL12-QN19) switches from the climate system to
the pool system.
Additional heat (EB1) is connected automatically when
the energy demand exceeds the heat pump capacity.
Additional water heating is obtained from the additional
water heater (EB10).
During cooling operation (requires compatible heat
pump), the reversing valve (EQ1-QN12) switches to the
cooling system (EQ1). If several demands occur while
there is a cooling demand, the installation reacts differ-
ently. In the event of a heating demand, the reversing
valve (EQ1-QN12) instead switches periodically between
the demands. When the cooling demand is met, the
reversing valve switches back to basic mode (heat/hot
water). In the event of a pool heating demand, the re-
versing valve (EQ1-QN12) switches back at the same

time as the reversing valve (CL12-QN19) switches to
the pool system (CL12) and pool heating is produced
until the demand is fulfilled.

General
• Disconnect SMO 40 before insulation testing the
house wiring.
• If the building is equipped with an earth-fault breaker,
SMO 40 should be equipped with a separate one.
• SMO 40 must be installed via a circuit breaker with a
minimum breaking gap of 3 mm.
• For the electrical wiring diagram for the control mod-
ule, see page .69.
• Use a three core, screened cable for communication
with the heat pump.
•Communication and sensor cables to external connec-
tions must not be laid close to high current cables.
• The minimum area of communication and sensor
cables to external connections must be 0.5 mm² up
to 50 m, for example EKKX, LiYY or equivalent.
• When cable routing into SMO 40, cable grommets
(UB1 and UB2, marked in image) must be used.
NOTE
The switch (SF1) must not be moved to "" or
" " until the boiler water has been filled in the
system. The compressor in the heat pump and
any external additional heat can be damaged.
NOTE
Electrical installation and any servicing must
be carried out under the supervision of a quali-
fied electrician. Disconnect the current using
the circuit breaker before carrying out any ser-
vicing. Electrical installation and wiring must
be carried out in accordance with the applicable
provisions. When installing SMO 40, NIBE’s
air/water heat pump and any additional heat
must be disconnected from the power supply.
Caution
See outline diagram for your system for phys-
ical location of the temperature sensor that is
to be installed.
Caution
The relay outputs on the accessory board (AA5)
may be subjected to a max load of 2 A (230 V)
in total.
