6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Non-error tips
6.2 Something about self-protection of unit
Why compressor cannot start immediatedly after setting?
Unit will wait for 3 minutes to balance the pressure of the refrigerant system before starting compressor agian. It is
a self protection logic of the unit.
Q:
A:
Why sometimes the temperature shown on the display decreased but the unit still keep off?
To avoid the unit turning on/off frequently, the unit will activate heat pump only when the water temperature in the
bottom of the tank is lower than the setting temperature.
Q:
A:
Why sometimes the unit shows ‘PA’ on the display?
The heat pump available running ambient temperature is from -7°C to 40°C. If the ambient temperature is out of
this range, the unit will show the PA to let user notice it.
Q:
A:
Why sometimes there is some water flowed from drainage pipe of PTR valve? (When the unit with PTR valve)
Because the water tank is pressure-bearable one, when water is heated inside the tank, water will expand, so the
pressure inside the tank will increase. If the pressure goes up more than 1.0MPa, PTR valve will activate to relief
the pressure and hot water drop will be discharged correspondingly. If water drop is continually discharged from
PTR valve drainage pipe, it is abnormal, please contact qualified staff to repair.
Q:
A:
Why sometimes the temperature shown on the dispay decreased while unit is running?
When the temperature of layer water inside the tank is much higher than the bottom part, upper hot water will be
mixed by the bottom cold water which is continually flow from the inlet tap water so that will decrease the water
temperature of upper part .
Q:
A:
When the self-protection happens, the unit will be stopped and start sef-check, and restart when the protection
resolved.
In the following circumstance, self-protection may happen:
Air inlet or outlet is blocked;
The coil is covered with too much dust;
Incorrect power supply (Exceeding the range of 220-240V).

NOTE
7. Maintenance
7.1 Maintenance
Check the connection between power supply plug, socket and groud wiring regularly.
In some cold area (blow 0°C), if the unit will be stopped for a long time, all the water should be released in case of
freezing of inner tank and damage of boost electrical heater.
It is recommended to clean the inner tank and boost E-heater every half year to keep an efficient performance.
Check the anode rod every half year and change it, if it has been used out. For more details, please contact the
supplier or the after-sale service.
It is recommended to set a lower temperature to decrease the heat release, prevent scale and save energy if the
outlet water volume is sufficient.
