Safety precautions
Caution
Install the system in full accordance with this installation
manual.
Incorrect installation can cause bursts, personal injury, water leaks,
refrigerant leaks, electric shocks and fire.
Pay attention to the measurement values before working on
the cooling system, especially when servicing in small rooms,
so that the limit for the refrigerant’s concentration is not ex-
ceeded.
Consult an expert to interpret the measurement values. If the refri-
gerant concentration exceeds the limit, there may be a shortage
of oxygen in the event of any leak, which can cause serious injury.
Use original accessories and the stated components for the
installation.
If parts other than those stated by us are used, water leaks, electric
shocks, fire and personal injury may occur as the unit may not work
properly.
Ventilate the working area well – refrigerant leakage may occur
during service work.
If the refrigerant comes into contact with naked flames, poisonous
gas is created.
Install the unit in a location with good support.
Unsuitable installation locations can cause the unit to fall and cause
material damage and personal injury. Installation without sufficient
support can also cause vibrations and noise.
Ensure that the unit is stable when installed, so that it can
withstand earthquakes and strong winds.
Unsuitable installation locations can cause the unit to fall and cause
material damage and personal injury.
The electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified
electrician and the system must be connected as a separate
circuit.
Power supply with insufficient capacity and incorrect function can
cause electric shocks and fire.
Use the stated cables for the electrical connection, tighten the
cables securely in the terminal blocks and relieve the wiring
correctly to prevent overloading the terminal blocks.
Loose connections or cable mountings can cause abnormal heat
production or fire.
Check, after completed installation or service, that no refriger-
ant leaks from the system in gas form.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the house and comes into contact with
an aerotemp, an oven or other hot surface, poisonous gases are
produced.
Switch off the compressor before opening/breaching the refri-
gerant circuit.
If the refrigerant circuit is breached /opened whilst the compressor
is running, air can enter the process circuit. This can cause unusually
high pressure in the process circuit, which can cause bursts and
personal injury.
Switch off the power supply in the event of a service or inspec-
tion.
HBS 05Chapter 1 | Important information4
1 Important information

If the power supply is not shut off, there is a risk of electric shocks
and damage due to the rotating fan.
Do not run the unit with removed panels or protection.
Touching rotating equipment, hot surfaces or high voltage parts
can cause personal injury due to entrapment, burns or electric
shocks.
Cut the power before starting electrical work.
Failure to cut the power can cause electric shocks, damage and in-
correct function of the equipment.
Care
Carry out the electrical installation with care.
Do not connect the ground lead to the gas line, water line, lightning
conductor or telephone line's ground lead. Incorrect grounding
can cause unit faults such as electric shocks due to short-circuiting.
Use main switch with sufficient breaking capacity.
If the switch does not have sufficient breaking capacity, malfunc-
tions and fire can occur.
Always use a fuse with the correct rating in the locations where
fuses are to be used.
Connecting the unit with copper wire or other metal thread can
cause unit breakdown and fire.
Cables must be routed so that they are not damaged by metal
edges or trapped by panels.
Incorrect installation can cause electric shocks, heat generation
and fire.
Do not install the unit in close proximity to locations where
leakage of combustible gases can occur.
If leaking gases collect around the unit, fire may occur.
Do not install the unit where corrosive gas (for example nitrous
fumes) or combustible gas or steam (for example thinner and
petroleum gases) can build up or collect, or where volatile
combustible substances are handled.
Corrosive gas can cause corrosion to the heat exchanger, breaks
in plastic parts etc. and combustible gas or steam can cause fire.
Do not use the unit where water splashes may occur, for ex-
ample in laundries.
The indoor section is not waterproof and electric shocks and fire
can therefore occur.
Do not use the unit for specialist purposes such as for storing
food, cooling precision instruments, freeze-conservation of
animals, plants or art.
This can damage the items.
Do not install and use the system close to equipment that
generates electromagnetic fields or high frequency harmonics.
Equipment such as inverters, standby sets, medical high frequency
equipment and telecommunications equipment can affect the unit
and cause malfunctions and breakdowns. The unit can also affect
medical equipment and telecommunications equipment, so that
it functions incorrectly or not at all.
Do not install the outdoor unit in the locations stated below.
- Locations where leakage of combustible gas can occur.
- Locations where carbon fibre, metal powder or other powder
that can enter the air.
- Locations where substances that can affect the unit, for example,
sulphide gas, chlorine, acid or alkaline substances can occur.
- Locations with direct exposure to oil mist or steam.
- Vehicles and ships.
- Locations where machines that generate high frequency harmon-
ics are used.
- Locations where cosmetic or special sprays are often used.
- Locations that can be subjected to direct salty atmospheres. In
this case, the outdoor unit must be protected against direct intakes
of salty air.
- Locations where large amounts of snow occur.
- Locations where the system is exposed to chimney smoke.
If the bottom frame of the outdoor section is corroded, or in
any other way damaged, due to long periods of operation, it
must not be used.
Using an old and damaged frame can cause the unit to fall and
cause personal injury.
If soldering near the unit, ensure that solder residue does not
damage the drip tray.
If solder residue enters the unit during soldering, small holes can
appear in the tray resulting in water leakage. To prevent damage,
keep the indoor unit in its packing or cover it.
Do not allow the drainage pipe to exit into channels where
poisonous gases, containing sulphides for example, can occur.
If the pipe exits into such a channel, any poisonous gases will flow
into the room and seriously affect the user's health and safety.
Insulate the unit's connection pipes so that the ambient air
moisture does not condense on them.
Insufficient insulation can cause condensation, which can lead to
moisture damage on the roof, floor, furniture and valuable personal
property.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where insects and
small animals can inhabit.
Insects and small animals can enter the electronic parts and cause
damage and fire. Instruct the user to keep the surrounding equip-
ment clean.
Take care when carrying the unit by hand.
If the unit weights more than 20 kg, it must be carried by two
people. Use gloves to minimize the risk of cuts.
Dispose of any packaging material correctly.
Any remaining packaging material can cause personal injury as it
may contain nails and wood.
Do not touch any buttons with wet hands.
This can cause electric shocks.
Do not touch any refrigerant pipes with your hands when the
system is in operation.
During operation the pipes become extremely hot or extremely
cold, depending on the method of operation. This can cause burn
injuries or frost injuries.
Do not shut off the power supply immediately after operation
has start.
Wait at least 5 minutes, otherwise there is a risk of water leakage
or breakdown.
Do not control the system with the main switch.
This can cause fire or water leakage. In addition, the fan can start
unexpectedly, which can cause personal injury.

HBS 05Chapter 3 | The heat pump design14

General
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives.
AMS 10 and HBS 05 work up to a return temperature of
approx. 55°C and an outgoing temperature from the
heat pump of approx. 58 °C.
HBS 05 is not equipped with shut off valves on the water
side, these must be installed to facilitate any future ser-
vicing.
When docking with HBS 05 free flow in the climate sys-
tem is recommended for correct heat transfer. This can
be achieved by use of a bypass valve. If free flow cannot
be ensured, it is recommended that a buffer tank (NIBE
UKV) is installed.

Pressure test and leak test
Both HBS 05 and AMS 10 are pressure tested and leak
tested at the factory, but the pipe connections between
the products must be checked after installation.
NOTE
The pipe connection between the products
must be pressure tested and leak tested accord-
ing to the applicable regulations after installa-
tion.
Under no circumstances must a type of medium
other than nitrogen be used when pressurising
or flushing the system.
Vacuum pump
Use a vacuum pump to evacuate all air. Apply suction
for at least one hour and end pressure after evacuation
must be 1 mbar (100 Pa, 0.75 Torr or 750 micron) abso-
lute pressure.
If the system has remaining moisture or a leak, the vacu-
um pressure will rise after completed evacuation.

TIP
For a better end result and to quicken the
evacuation, the following points must be fol-
lowed.
■The connection lines must be as large and
short as possible.
■Evacuate the system down to 4 mbar and fill
the system with dry nitrogen to atmospheric
pressure to the finish the evacuation.
Filling refrigerant
AMS 10 is delivered complete with the refrigerant re-
quired for the installation of refrigerant pipes up to 15
m in length.
NOTE
For installations with refrigerant pipes up to
15 m in length, no extra refrigerant in addition
to the provided amount needs to be added.
When carrying out pipe connections, pressure tests, leak
tests and vacuuming, the service valves (QM35, QM36)
can be opened, to fill the pipes and HBS 05 with refriger-
ant.
Insulating refrigerant pipes
■Insulate refrigerant pipes (both gas and liquid pipes)
for heat insulation and to prevent condensation.
■Use insulation that can withstand at least 120 °C.
Poorly insulated pipes can cause insulation related
problems and unnecessary cable wear.
