1.6 OPERATION MODE
ON/OFF or modulating operation
The GAHP unit may work in two modes:
▶ Mode (1) ON/OFF, i.e. On (at full power) or O, with circulat-
ing pump at constant or variable ow.
▶ Mode (2) MODULATING, i.e. at variable load from 50% to
100% of heating capacity, with circulating pump at variable
ow.
For each mode, (1) or (2), specic control systems and devices
are provided (Paragraph 1.7 p.15 ).
1.7 CONTROLS
Control device
The appliance may only work if it is connected to a control de-
vice, selected from:
▶ (1) DDC control
▶ (2) CCP/CCI control
▶ (3) external request
1.7.1 Control system (1) with DDC (GAHP unit ON/
OFF)
The DDC controller is able to control appliances, a single GAHP
unit, or even several Robur GAHP/GA/AY units in cascade, only
in ON/OFF mode (non modulating). For more details refer to the
DDC, RB100, RB200 Manuals and the Design Manual.
DDC Controller
The main functions are:
▶ Setup and control of one (or more) Robur units of the ab-
sorption line (GAHP, GA, AY).
▶ Data display and parameters setting.
▶ Hourly programming.
▶ Climate curve control.
▶ Diagnostics.
▶ Errors reset.
▶ Possibility to interface with a BMS.
DDC functionality may be extended with auxiliary Robur devices
RB100 and RB200 (e.g. service requests, DHW production, Third
Party generator control, probe control, system valves or circulat-
ing pumps, ...).
1.7.2 Control system (2) with CCP/CCI (modulating
GAHP unit)
The CCP/CCI control is able to control up to 3 GAHP units in mod-
ulating mode (therefore A/WS/GS only, excluding AR/ACF/AY),
plus any integration ON/OFF boiler. For additional details and
diagrams refer to the CCP/CCI Manual and the Design Manual.
CCP/CCI Control
See CCP/CCI device Manual.
1.7.3 Adjustment system (3) with external request
(GAHP unit ON/OFF)
The appliance may also be controlled via generic request de-
vices (e.g. thermostat, timer, button, contactor...) tted with
voltage-free NO contact. This system only provides elementary
control (on/o, with xed set-point temperature), hence without
the important functions of systems (1) and (2). It is advisable to
possibly limit its use to simple applications only and with a sin-
gle appliance.
For connection of the selected device to the appliance's
electronic board please refer to Paragraph 4.4 p.27 .

by laws, standards and regulations of the Country and place of
installation concerning gas appliances and cooling appliances
Do not install inside a room that has no aeration open-
ings.
GAHP A indoor unit ventilation
The aerothermal appliance requires aerated premises
for regular air ow into the nned coil. The air exhaust
above the fan mouth must be ducted outside in order to
prevent air recirculation towards the aeration openings.
Incorrect ventilation may aect eciency and cause
damage to the appliance. The manufacturer shall not be
liable for any incorrect choices of the installation prem-
ises and setting.
Other appliances
Any other gas appliances in the room must necessarily
be type C.
Features of the installation premises
▶ The room must have permanent aeration vents whose sur-
face must be sucient for regular air ow to the nned coil
(11000 m3/h).
▶ The appliance's ue gas exhaust must be ducted to the out-
side. The appliance's ue must not be immediately close to
openings or air intakes of buildings, and must comply with
environmental regulations.
▶ The combustion air intake must be ducted from the outside.
Defrosting water drainage

ue gas condensate discharge
Installation must also comply with the manufacturer's
provisions.
3.2 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Primary and secondary circuit
▶ In many cases it is advisable to divide the hydraulic system
into two parts, primary and secondary circuit, uncoupled by
a hydraulic separator, or possibly by a tank that also acts as
inertial tank/buer.
Constant ot variable water ow
The GAHP unit may work with costant or variable water ow, re-
gardless of the ON/OFF or modulating operative mode.
System and components must be designed and installed
consistently.
Minimum water content
High thermal inertia is conducive to ecient appliance opera-
tion. Very short ON/OFF cycles are to be avoided.
▶ If necessary, provide for an inertial volume, to be suitably
sized (see design manual).
3.3 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
Plumbing ttings

▶ A (= out) 1 1/4" F - WATER OUTLET (hot) (m = delivery to the
system)
▶ B (= in) 1 1/4" F - WATER INLET (r = return from the system)
Hydraulic pipes, materials and features
▶ Use pipes for heating/cooling systems, protected from
weathering, insulated for thermal dispersion.
Pipe cleaning
Before connecting the appliance,accurately wash the
water and gas piping and any other system component,
removing any residue.

3.4 WATER CIRCULATION PUMP
The circulation pump (ow and head) must be selected and
installed based on pressure losses of plumbing/primary circuit
(piping + components + exchange terminals + appliance).
For the appliance's pressure losses refer to Table 1.1 p.15 and
Design Manual.
(1) CONSTANT FLOW circulating pump
The primary circulating pump must be obligatorily controlled
by the appliance's electronic board (S61) (see Paragraph
1.5 p.13 ).
(2) VARIABLE FLOW circulating pump
For variable ow operation, use of a Wilo Stratos Para pump is
obligatory, supplied as accessory on demand, to be connected
to the Mod10 electronic board (see Paragraph 1.5 p.13 ). Any
other type of pump will give constant ow.
Refer to the Design Manual for the features of the Wilo Stratos
Para pump.

3.5 ANTIFREEZE FUNCTION
Active antifreeze self-protection
The appliance is equipped with an active antifreeze self-protec-
tion system to prevent icing. The anti-icing function (activated
by default) automatically starts the primary circulation pump
and, if required, the burner too, when the outside temperature
approaches zero.
Electrical and gas continuity
The active antifreeze self-protection is only eective if
the power and gas supplies are assured. Otherwise, anti-
freeze liquid might be required.
3.6 ANTIFREEZE LIQUID
Precautions with glycol
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for any damage
caused by improper glycol use.
Always check product suitability and its expiry date with
the glycol supplier. Periodically check the product's pres-
ervation state.
Do not use car-grade antifreeze liquid (without inhibi-
tors), nor zinc-coated piping and ttings (incompatible
with glycol).
Glycol modies the physical properties of water (densi-
ty, viscosity, specic heat...). Size the piping, circulation
pump and thermal generators accordingly.
With automatic system water lling, a periodic check of
the glycol content is required.
With high glycol percentage (> 20…30%)
If the glycol percentage is ≥30% (for ethylene glycol) or
≥20% (for propylene glycol) the TAC must be alerted be-
fore rst start-up.
When producing DHW by DHW buer tank, use pro-
pylene glycol only.
Type of antifreeze glycol
Inhibited type glycol is recommended to prevent oxidation
phenomena.
Glycol eects
The Table 3.1 p. 20 shows, indicatively, the eects of using a
glycol depending on its %.
