Important information

A heat pump can use stored solar energy from rock, ground
or water in order to heat a property. The conversion of en-
ergy stored in nature to property heating occurs in three
different circuits. In the brine circuit, (1), free heat energy
is retrieved from the surroundings and transported to the
heat pump. The heat pump increases the retrieved heat's
low temperature to a high temperature in the refrigerant
circuit, (2). The heat is distributed around the house in the
heating medium circuit, (3).

The temperatures are only examples and may vary between
different installations and time of year.
Brine circuit
In a hose, collector, an anti-freeze liquid, brine, circulates
from the heat pump out to the heat source
(rock/ground/lake). The energy from the heat source is
stored by it heating the brine a few degrees, from about
–3°C to about 0 °C.
A
The collector then routes the brine to the heat pump’s
evaporator. Here, the brine releases heat energy and the
temperature drops a few degrees. The liquid then returns
to the heat source to retrieve energy again.
B
Refrigerant circuit
Another liquid circulates in a closed system in the heat
pump, a refrigerant, which also passes the evaporator.
The refrigerant has a very low boiling point. In the
evaporator the refrigerant receives the heat energy from
the brine and starts to boil.
C
The gas that is produced during boiling is routed into an
electrically powered compressor. When the gas is com-
pressed, the pressure increases and the gas's temperat-
ure increases considerably, from approx. 5ーC to approx.
100 ーC.
D
From the compressor, gas is forced into a heat ex-
changer, condenser, where it releases heat energy to
the heating system in the house, whereupon the gas is
cooled and condenses to a liquid form again.
E
As the pressure is still high, the refrigerant can pass an
expansion valve, where the pressure drops so that the
refrigerant returns to its original temperature. The refri-
gerant has now completed a full cycle. It is routed to the
evaporator again and the process is repeated.
F
Heat medium circuit
The heating energy that the refrigerant releases in the
condenser is retrieved by the heat pump's boiler section.
G
The heating medium circulates in a closed system and
transports the heated water's heat energy to the house
water heater and radiators/heating coils.
H
Passive cooling
The brine can also be circulated via a mixing valve to a
heat exchanger. There the brine cools the heating sys-
tem's water so that comfort cooling can be maintained
during the hotter periods of the year.

Regular checks
You should check your installation at regular intervals.
If anything unusual occurs, messages about the malfunction
appear in the display in the form of different alarm texts.
BRINE
The brine that obtains the heat in the ground is not normally
consumed, but just pumped around.
LEK
Your installation includes an expansion vessel,
where you can check the pressure in the sys-
tem. The pressure may vary slightly due to the
temperature of the fluid. The pressure should
not fall below 0.5 bar.
Ask your installer if you are unsure where the expansion
vessel is located.
Your installer can also help you to top-up if the pressure
has dropped.
SAFETY VALVE
S1155PC
For installations with a water heater.
You can find the safety valve on the incoming pipe (cold
water) to the water heater.
S1255PC
You can find the safety valve on the incoming pipe (cold
water) to S1255PC.
The water heater’s safety valve sometimes releases a little
water after hot water usage. This is because the cold water,
which enters the water heater to replace the hot water, ex-
pands when heated causing the pressure to rise and the
safety valve to open.
The function of the safety valve must be checked regularly.
Perform checks as follows:
1. Open the valve.
2. Check that water is flowing through it.
3. Close the valve.
TIP
The safety valve is fitted by your installer. Contact
your installer if you are unsure how to check it.
Saving tips
Your heat pump installation produces heat and hot water.
This occurs via the control settings you made.
Factors that affect the energy consumption are, for example,
indoor temperature, hot water consumption, the insulation
level of the house and whether the house has many large
window surfaces. The position of the house, e.g. wind expos-
ure is also an affecting factor.
Also remember:
•Open the thermostat valves completely (except in rooms
where you want it to be cooler). This is important, as fully
or partially closed thermostat valves slow the flow in the
climate system, which results in S1155PC/S1255PC work-
ing at a higher temperature. This in turn can lead to in-
creased energy consumption.
•You can lower the operating cost when away from home
by scheduling selected parts of the system. This is done
in menu 6 - "Scheduling".
•If you select "Small" in menu 2.2 - "Hot water demand",
less energy is used.
11Chapter 5 | Maintenance of S1155PC/S1255PCNIBE S1155PC/S1255PC
Maintenance of S1155PC/S1255PC

In most cases, S1155PC/S1255PC notes a malfunction (a
malfunction can lead to disruption in comfort) and indicates
this with alarms, and instructions for action, in the display.
Info-menu
All the heat pump’s measurement values are gathered under
menu 3.1 - "Operating info" in the heat pump’s menu system.
Examining the values in this menu can often make it easier
to identify the source of the fault.

October
13.45 3 October
The installation pump has no contact with the supply
temperature sensor. Additional heat is blocked. The installation
switches to alarm operation, which may mean a reduction of
comfort.
Select auxiliary operation and contact your installer.
Reset alarm and try again
Start auxiliary mode
In the event of an
alarm, a malfunction
has occurred and the
status lamp shines
with a steady red light.
You receive informa-
tion about the alarm
in the smartguide on
the display.
ALARM
In the event of an
alarm with a red
status lamp, a mal-
function has occurred
that S1155PC/S1255PC cannot remedy itself. On the display,
you can see what type of alarm it is and reset it.
In many cases, it is sufficient to select “Reset alarm and try
again” for the installation to revert to normal operation.
If a white light comes on after selecting “Reset alarm and
try again”, the alarm has been remedied.
"Auxiliary operation" is a type of emergency mode. This
means that the installation attempts to produce heat and/or
hot water, even though there is some kind of problem. This
could mean that the heat pump’s compressor is not in oper-
ation. In this case, any electric additional heat produces heat
and/or hot water.
Caution
Selecting "Auxiliary operation" is not the same as
correcting the problem that caused the alarm. The
status lamp will therefore remain red.
If the alarm does not reset, contact your installer for suitable
remedial action.
Caution
You need the product's (14 digit) serial number for
servicing and support.
Troubleshooting
If the operational interference is not shown in the display
the following tips can be used:
