ATTENTION
For safety reasons:
Never disconnect the unit from the power sup-
ply, unless the unit is being opened.
ATTENTION
Install the heat pump only outdoors and ope-
rate only with outside air as the heat source. Do
not restrict or block the air-conducting sides.
Dimensional drawing and installation plan for
respective model.
WARNING!
Never switch on unit if façade parts on the
unit are removed.
ATTENTION
It is not permitted to integrate the heat pump in
ventilation systems. The use of the cooled air for
cooling purposes is not permitted.
ATTENTION
The ambient air at the place in which the heat
pump is installed, as well as the air drawn in as a
heat source, must not contain any corrosive con-
stituents!
Constituents (such as ammonia, sulphur, chlo-
rine, salt, sewage gases, ue gases…) can cause
damage to the heat pump, which can lead to
complete failure / irreparable damage to the
heat pump!
ATTENTION
By cooling with low ow temperatures, conden-
sate can be expected to form on the heat dis-
tribution system as the temperature falls below
the dew point. If the heat distribution system
is not designed for these operating conditions,
it must be protected by appropriate safety de-
vices, e.g. dew point monitor (purchasable ac-
cessory).
NOTE
Water accumulations resulting from extreme
weather conditions, or from condensation in,
on and under the unit which do not ow away
via the condensate discharge are normal and do
not constitute a heat-pump malfunction or de-
fect

Operating principle of heat
pumps
Heat pumps operate on the same principle as a
refrigerator: same technology, only with reversed
benets. The refrigerator extracts heat from foods,
which is released into the room through ns on the
back.
The heat pump extracts heat from our environment: air,
earth or water. The extracted heat is conditioned in the
unit and supplied to the heating water. Even when it is
extremely cold outside, the heat pump draws enough
heat to heat a house.
Example: drawing of a brine/water heat pump with
underoor heating:
4/4= usable energy
approx. 3/4= environmental energy
approx. 1⁄4= external
electrical energy
Area of utilisation
Taking into consideration the ambient conditions, limits
of application and the applicable regulations, every
heat pump can be utilised in new or existing heating
systems.

Care of the unit
The outer surfaces of the unit can be cleaned with a
damp cloth and household cleaning products.
Do not use cleaning or care products that contain
abrasives, acids and/or chlorine. Such products would
destroy the surfaces and could also damage the
technical components of the unit.
Maintenance of the unit
The cooling circuit of the heat pump requires no regu-
lar maintenance.
According to EU regulation (EC) 517/2014, leak
inspections and maintenance of a log book are required
by law for certain heat pumps!
Log book for heat pumps, Section “Information
on use of the log book”.
The components of the heating circuit and the heat
source (valves, expansion vessels, circulating pumps,
lters, dirt traps) should be inspected and cleaned as
necessary - however, at least once a year - by qualied
personnel (heating or cooling system tters).
The intake and blow-out openings must be inspected for
dirt at regular intervals (depending on the installation
location) and cleaned, if necessary.
ATTENTION
Regularly check to ensure that the conden-
sate can drain out of the unit unobstructed. To
do this, regularly check the condensate tray in
the unit and the condensate drain for dirt / blo-
ckages and if necessary clean.
Icing of the protective grating
If temperatures fall below freezing and humidity is high
at the same time, ice can form on the protective grating.
In order to ensure problem-free operation, the ice must
be removed at regular intervals.

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION, TOGETHER WITH
THE WALL PENETRATION
To connect the outdoor unit with the indoor part
(hydraulic module), an opening must be provided for
the wall penetration (accessory) or a hole must be
made to enable the KG pipe Ø125 mm (= accessory Wall
penetration) to be installed.
If the wall penetration is not yet available, it is possible
to work in advance using a standard KG pipe, 1m long
DN 125.
NOTE.
Always keep to the installation plan for the re-
spective model. Observe minimum spacings
and protection areas.
Installation plan and dimensional drawings and
protection areas for the respective model.
CAUTION.
In the air outlet area the air temperature
is ca. 5 K below the ambient temperature.
Under certain climatic conditions, therefore,
an ice layer can form in the air outlet area.
Install the heat pump so that the air blower
does not blow in the direction of footpaths.
CAUTION.
Several people are required to install the
unit.
NOTE.
The ground surface in the air outlet area of the
heat pump must be permeable to water.
NOTE.
Always ensure you keep to the specied di-
stance from the wall, from wall openings, win-
dows, light wells and similar.
See “Dimensional drawings and protection
areas”.
NOTE.
If the wall penetration is not used, the LIN bus
cable must be laid through a separate conduit,
separated from the other cables.
The two other cables must also be laid on site
using reserve conduits.
NOTE.
Always ensure minimum wall area is available.
Always keep to the installation plan. Note and
keep to minimum spacings.
INSTALLATION WITH WALL BRACKET
See “Installation instructions wall bracket”..
See ”Wall penetration installation instructions”.
See “Installation plans/minimum spacings/
drilling pattern”.
The wall bracket is only suitable for solid. load-bearing
walls. In the case of wooden stud walls with panelling
the oor-mounted bracket should be used to avoid
possible structurally-borne sound transfer to the interior
rooms
INSTALLATION ON FLOOR BRACKET
It is possible to install the unit near a wall or in an open
space. The heat pump should ideally be installed in
a wind-protected position. If this is not possible it is
advisable to install it transversely to the main wind
direction or air routing with the main wind direction.
Place the unit on a solid, level and load-bearing
foundation. The foundation must not be connected to
the building. Make sure that the foundation is designed
for the weight of the heat pump.
See “Installation instructions oor bracket”.
See “Wall penetration installation instructions”.
See “Installation plans/minimum spacings/view
of foundation”.
NOTE.
If installing with wall penetration, ensure the
correct distance from the wall is maintained.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate from the air must be discharged frost-
free through a plastic condensate pipe with a minimum
diameter of 40 mm. If subsoils are permeable to water, it
is sucient to lay the condensate pipe vertically at least
90 cm into the ground.

The condensate pipe may not be laid alone; it must be
inserted into a second pipe suitable for laying in the
ground (for example, KG pipe), before it is lowered into
the ground!
The connection of both pipes must be sealed. It must be
possible to adjust the length. The pipe at the unit must
not sit on the ground, but must be able to be moved.
ATTENTION
Ensure adequate percolation of the discharged
condensate into the ground!

Overow valve
Always use an overow valve for tanks integrated
in series to ensure the minimum ow rate of the
heating circuit volume ow through the heat pump.
The overow valve must be dimensioned so that the
minimum ow rate of the volume ow through the heat
pump is ensured when the heating circuit is shut o.
Buer tank
The hydraulic connection of the heat pump requires a
buer tank in the heating circuit.
Minimum size 60l.
Only one separating tank integration (vapour diusion
insulated) is allowed for the LAD 5RX and LAD 7RX.

Domestic water heating
Water heating with the heat pump requires an additional
hot water circuit, parallel to the heating circuit. When
installing, make sure that the domestic hot water charge
is not fed through the buer tank of the heating circuit.
“Hydraulic connection” instructions.
Domestic hot water tank
If the heat pump is to be used for domestic water
heating, you must integrate special domestic hot water
tanks in the heat pump system. Choose a storage
volume so that the required quantity of hot water is
available even during a power cut.
NOTE.
The heat exchanger surface of the domestic hot
water tank must be dimensioned so that the he-
ating capacity of the heat pump is transferred
with minimum spread.
We oer a variety of domestic hot water tanks for you to
choose from. They are optimised for use with your heat
pump.
NOTE.
Integrate the hot-water tank in the heat pump
system according to the hydraulic diagram for
your system.

DAMAGE THAT CAN OCCUR IN CASE OF NON
COMPLIANCE
- Malfunctions and the failure of components (e.g.
pumps, valves)
- Internal and external leaks (e.g. from heat exchangers)
- Cross-section reduction and blockaging of components
(e.g. heat exchanger, pipes, pumps)
- Material fatigue
- Gas bubbles and gas cushion formation (cavitation)
- Negative eect on heat transfer (formation of coatings,
deposits) and associated noises (e.g. boiling noises,
ow noises)
LIMESCALE  THE ENERGY KILLER
Filling with untreated drinking water inevitably
leads to the precipitation of all calcium as scale. The
consequence: limescale deposits form on the heat
transfer surfaces of the heating. The eciency falls and
the energy costs rise. A rule of thumb is that 1 millimetre
of limescale deposit causes an energy loss of 10%. In
extreme cases it can even cause damage to the heat
exchangers.
WATER SOFTENING TO VDI 2035  PART I
If the water is softened before the heating is lled,
in accordance with the VDI 2035 guidelines, no scale
can form. This eectively and permanently prevents
limescale deposits and the resulting negative eects on
the entire heating system.
CORROSION  AN UNDERESTIMATED PROBLEM
VDI 2035, Part II, deals with the problem of corrosion.
Softening the heating water can prove to be insucient.
The pH value can signicantly exceed the limit of 10. pH
values higher than 11 can set in, which even damage
rubber seals. The VDI 2035, Part 1 guidelines are fullled,
however, VDI 2035, Part 2 suggests a pH value between
8.2 and maximum 10.
If aluminium materials are used, which is the case in
many modern heating systems, a pH value of 8.5 must
not be exceeded, because otherwise there is a threat
of corrosion – and aluminium is attacked without the
presence of oxygen. Therefore, apart from softening
the heating ll and additional water, the heating water
should also be appropriately conditioned. This is the
only way to comply with the VDI 2035 requirements and
the recommendations and installation instructions of
the heat pump manufacturer.
Rinsing, lling and bleeding the
system
See “Operating instructions hydraulic module”
or “Compact Station Dual”.
CAUTION.
The system must be absolutely free from air be-
fore commissioning.
WATER QUALITY OF THE FILL AND ADDITIONAL
WATER IN HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS
ACCORDING TO VDI 2035 PART I AND II
Use of modern, energy-ecient heat pump systems
is becoming increasingly widespread. Their ingenious
technology enables these systems to achieve very good
eciencies. The decreasing space available for heat
generators has led to the development of compact
units with increasingly smaller cross-sections and high
capacities. This means the complexity of the systems and
the material diversity are also increasing, which plays an
important role especially in their corrosion behaviour.
The heating water not only aects the eciency of the
system, but also the life of the heat generator and the
heating components of a system.
The guide values of VDI 2035 Part I and Part II must
therefore be complied with as minimum requirements
for proper operation of the systems. Our practical
experience has shown that the safest and most trouble-
free running of the systems is achieved with so-called
low-salt operation.
VDI 2035 Part I gives important information and
recommendations regarding scaling and its prevention
in heating and domestic hot water heating systems.
VDI 2035 Part II primarily deals with the requirements for
reducing heating water corrosion in hot water heating
systems.
PRINCIPLES OF PART I AND PART II
The occurrence of scaling and corrosion damage in hot
water heating systems is low, if
- proper planning and commissioning is carried out
- the system is closed in corrosion terms
- adequately dimensioned pressurising is integrated
-
the guide values for the heating water are complied with
- and regular servicing and maintenance are carried out.
A system log should be kept, in which the relevant
planning data is entered (VDI 2035).

Insulating the hydraulic
connections
Insulate the piping of the heating circuit and the
condensate pipe in the outdoor area so that they are
frost-proof, vapour-diusion tight and UV resistant.
NOTE.
Insulate in accordance with applicable local
standards and guidelines.
Check all hydraulic connections for leaks. Perform
leak test…
Insulate all connections and pipes of the heat circuit
(RX-variants vapour diusion insulated).
Part 2 of VDI 2035 also points out the reduction in total
salt content (conductivity). The risk of corrosion is far
lower if deionised water is used than is the case if the
system is operated with salty, i.e. softened water.
Even if the water has been softened beforehand, it
contains dissolved, corrosion-promoting salts, which act
as electrolytes due to the use of dierent materials in
the heating system and therefore accelerate corrosion
processes. This can ultimately result in pitting.
Contamination and deposits in the heating circuit can
cause malfunctions
RINSE, FILL AND BLEED THE HEATING CIRCUIT
AND HOT WATER BUFFER TANK
To bleed the hot water tank, the heating circuit and hot
water circuit must be rinsed simultaneously.
ON THE SAFE SIDE WITH LOWSALT OPERATION
The problems listed above do not occur at all with
low-salt operation, as neither corrosive salts such as
sulphates, chlorides and nitrates nor alkalising sodium
hydrogen carbonate are in the heating water. The
corrosive properties of deionised water are very low
and in addition, fur cannot form in the boiler. This is the
ideal approach for closed heating circuits, in particular,
because low oxygen input into the heating circuit can
also be tolerated.
In general, when the system is lled with deionised
water, the pH value sets itself within the ideal range
due to “self-alkalinisation”. If necessary, a pH value of 8.2
can be very easily alkalised by adding chemicals. In this
way, optimum protection of the entire heating system is
achieved.
MONITORING
Analytical recording and monitoring of the relevant
water values and the added active conditioning
substances is of decisive importance. Therefore, they
should be monitored regularly using appropriate water
test equipment.
Fill and bleed the heating circuit…
In addition, open the bleeding valve on the
condenser of the heat pump. Bleed condenser…

WITHDRAWAL FROM SERVICE
It is particularly important that the technician
responsible for the withdrawal from service work is
familiar with all details of the disposal equipment. We
recommend that all refrigerant be recovered.
Before disposing of the drained uids, take samples of
the oil and refrigerant, if the refrigerant is to be treated
for reuse.
NOTE.
It is important for electricity to be available
where the work is to be carried out.
a) Familiarise yourself with the units and their function.
b) Disconnect the unit to be disposed of from the power
supply.
c) Before starting the disposal procedure, ensure that:
- mechanical aids required for the transport of
refrigerant cylinders are available if necessary;
- personal protective equipment is available and is
properly used;
- the extraction process is continuously monitored
by a competent person;
- the disposal station and refrigerant cylinders
conform to the relevant guidelines and directives.
d) If possible, carry out a pump-down cycle.
e) If it is not possible to establish a vacuum, extract
through a collection pipe, so that refrigerant can be
removed from all parts of the system.
f) Ensure that the refrigerant cylinder is on the scales
before starting the extraction.
g) Switch on the disposal equipment and continue
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
h) Ensure that recycling cylinders are not overlled
(never more than 80 % of the liquid ll quantity).
i) Never exceed the allowable operating pressure of the
recycling cylinder, not even for a short time.
j) When the recycling cylinders are properly lled
and the process has been completed, ensure that the
cylinders and units are immediately removed from the
system and all shut-o valves are closed.
k) Recovered refrigerant cannot be used in other
systems until it has been cleaned and examined.
MARKINGS
Units must be appropriately marked or labelled so
that it is clear to all that they have been withdrawn
from service and the refrigerant has been removed.
This marking must be dated and signed. Ensure that
information regarding ammable refrigerant is attached
to the units.
RECOVERY/RECYCLING
If refrigerant is extracted for repair or withdrawal from
service purposes, ensure that this is done safely. If
coolant is transferred into cylinders, ensure that only
suitable refrigerant cylinders are used. Ensure that a
sucient number of refrigerant cylinders are available
for the quantity in the system. All refrigerant cylinders
used must be intended for the refrigerant to be
extracted and marked accordingly (i.e. special recycling
cylinders for the recovery and recycling of refrigerant).
The refrigerant cylinders must have a safety valve and
securely attached shut-o valves and be in a good
condition. Empty recycling cylinders are evacuated
and should be cooled before the extraction process,
if possible. The disposal equipment must be in a good
condition and suitable for the recovery of ammable
refrigerants. Instructions on the individual recovery
procedure steps must be enclosed with the equipment.
In addition, calibrated scales must be available and must
also be in good condition. Hoses must be equipped with
leak-free couplings and be in good condition. Before
the disposal equipment is used, check that it is in good
condition, that it has been serviced at the specied
intervals and that the corresponding electrical devices
are sealed to prevent ignition in case of refrigerant
leaks. In case of doubt, contact the manufacturer for
advice. The recovered refrigerant must be returned to
the supplier in a proper recycling cylinder. Do not mix
refrigerants in refrigerant cylinders. If compressors or
compressor oil is to be disposed of, ensure that they are
evacuated with an adequate vacuum to ensure that there
is no longer any ammable refrigerant in the oil. Before
the compressor is returned to the manufacturer it must
be evacuated. This process may only be accelerated by
means of electrical heating of the compressor housing.
When oil is drained from a system, it must be done with
appropriate caution
