weighting in the partial load range can be found in EN14825 and
EHPA quality label regulations.
Generally, the test conditions stated above will not fully match the
conditions found at the installation site of the system user.
Depending on the chosen test method and the extent to which
this method differs from the test conditions defined in the first
paragraph of this section, any deviations can be considerable.
Additional factors that have an influence on the test values are the
measuring equipment, the system configuration, the age of the
system and the flow rates.
Confirmation of the specified output data can only be obtained if
the test conducted for this purpose is also performed in accord-
ance with the test conditions defined in the first paragraph of this
section.

3. Appliance description
3.1 Minimum software versions
The following minimum software versions are necessary for op-
eration of the heat pump:
- WPM: 449.05
- FES: 502.03
3.2 Properties
This appliance is an air source heat pump designed for outdoor
installation. Heat is extracted from the outdoor air at a low tem-
perature level, and is then transferred to the heating water at a
higher temperature. The heating water can be heated to a flow
temperature of up to 75°C.
The appliance is equipped with an electric emergency/booster
heater (NHZ). To safeguard heating operation and the provision
of high DHW temperatures, the electric emergency/booster heat-
er is activated as an emergency heater if the dual mode point is
undershot in mono mode operation. If the same thing happens in
mono energetic operation, the electric emergency/booster heater
is activated as a booster heater.
This appliance has further operational characteristics:
- Suitable for underfloor and radiator heating systems.
- It will continue to extract heat from outdoor air even at an
outside temperature of -25°C.
- Corrosion-protected, external casing made from hot-dipped
galvanised sheet steel plus stove-enamelled finish.
- Comprises all components and safety equipment required for
operation.
- One element of the safety concept is a safety valve built into
the appliance. In the event of a leak, this safety valve pre-
vents refrigerant from entering the heating circuit.
Note
For centralised control of the heating system, you would
need the WPM heat pump manager.
3.3 Function
3.3.1 Heating
Heat is extracted from the outdoor air via the heat exchanger
(evaporator) on the air side. The evaporated refrigerant is com-
pressed by a compressor. This process requires electrical ener-
gy. At this point, the refrigerant is at a higher temperature level.
A further heat exchanger (condenser) transfers the heat to the
heating circuit. The refrigerant then expands again and the cycle
restarts from the beginning.
At air temperatures below approx. 7°C, the humidity in the air
condenses as hoarfrost on the evaporator fins. This hoarfrost is
automatically defrosted. Water created by this defrosting process
collects in the defrost pan and is drained off.
!
Material losses
During the defrost cycle, the fan is switched OFF and
the heat pump circuit is reversed. The heat required for
defrosting is drawn from the buffer cylinder. For opera-
tion without a buffer cylinder, observe chapter "Menu/
Menu description/ SETTINGS/ HEATING/ STANDARD
SETTING/ BUFFER OPERATION" in the WPM installation
instructions. Otherwise the heating water freezes under
unfavourable conditions.
The heat pump automatically reverts to heating mode at the end
of the defrost cycle.
Material losses
In dual mode operation, return water from the second
heat generator may flow through the heat pump. Please
note that the return temperature must be no higher than
65°C.
3.3.2 Cooling
Material losses
The heat pump is not suitable for continuous, year-round
cooling.
f Observe the application limits (see chapter “Specifi-
cation/ Data table”).
Material losses
In cooling mode, condensate can form when the dew
point temperature is undershot.
f Take suitable measures to prevent the formation of
condensate.
Rooms are cooled by reversing the heat pump circuit. Heat is
extracted from the heating water and the evaporator transfers
this heat to the outdoor air.
Area cooling and fan cooling require the installation of a remote
control unit (FET) in a reference room to capture the relative hu-
midity and the room temperature as part of dew point monitoring.
With fan cooling, it is also necessary to install a buffer cylinder.
Heat pump application limit
The heat pump is switched OFF if the outside temperature falls
below the selected lower application limit for cooling (COOLING
LIMIT parameter).
4. Settings
The system is operated exclusively via the WPM heat pump man-
ager.
f Please observe the instructions for the heat pump manager.

5. Maintenance and care
Material losses
Only qualified contractors may perform maintenance
work, such as electrical safety checks.
A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning all plastic and sheet metal
parts. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.
Regularly check the condensate drain (visual inspection). Remove
any contaminants and blockages immediately.

Material losses
Keep the air discharge and intake apertures free from
snow and leaves.
Remove any leaves or other foreign bodies from the evaporator
fins periodically.
We recommend a regular inspection (to establish the current con-
dition of the system), and maintenance by a qualified contractor
as required (to restore the system to the ideal condition).
6. Troubleshooting
Fault Cause Remedy
There is no hot
water or the
heating system
remains cold.
No power at the appliance. Check the fuses/ MCBs in
your fuse box/ distribution
board. Replace the fuses/
reset the MCBs if required.
Notify your qualified
contractor if the fuses/
MCBs blow/trip again after
switching the system back
on.
Water is leaking
from the appli-
ance.
The condensate drain may be
blocked.
Clean the condensate drain
as described in "Mainte-
nance and care".
The heater gets
warm, but the
rooms are not
heated to the
required temper-
ature.
The dual mode temperature is
set too low.
Increase the dual mode
temperature to e.g. 0°C.
The building is a new build
and is in the screed drying
phase.
Increase the dual mode
temperature to +5°C.
After 1 to 2 years the dual
mode temperature can be
reset to e.g. -3°C.
Fault Cause Remedy
There is a loss of
pressure in the
heating system.
Water drips from the safety
valve.
Use the inspection port
to check whether water
is passing from the safety
valve hose into the conden-
sate pan. Call your quali-
fied contractor.
Condensate is
collecting on the
outside of the
appliance.
The heat pump extracts heat
from the outdoor air in order
to heat the building. This can
cause the humidity in the
outdoor air to accumulate as
dew or frost on the cooled
heat pump casing. This is not
a defect.
The fan runs
when the
compressor is
switched OFF.
At outside temperatures below
10°C, the fan is regularly
started at the lowest speed
when the compressor is idle.
This prevents the evaporator
and fan from freezing or icing
up due to water draining
off. At temperatures above
the freezing point, the time
between two defrost cycles is
increased, thereby improving
overall efficiency.
The appliance
produces rhyth-
mic scraping or
grinding noises.
Ice has formed on the air
grille, on the fan blades or in
the air routing.
Call your qualified contrac-
tor (see chapter "Installa-
tion/ Troubleshooting/ Fan
noise").
Note
Even when the condensate is draining away correctly, it
is not unusual for water to drip from the appliance onto
the floor.
If you cannot remedy the fault, contact your qualified contractor.
To facilitate and speed up your request, provide the number from
the type plate. The type plate is located at the front top, on the
right or left-hand side of the casing.

!
D0000060163
The appliance is designed for siting in front of a wall. Observe the
minimum clearances. If the appliance is installed in an open space
or on a roof, protect the air intake side. Do this by erecting a wall
to shield it against the wind.
9.1 Sound emissions
The appliance is louder on the air intake and air discharge sides
than on the two enclosed sides. Take the following information
into account when selecting the installation location.
Note
For details regarding the sound power level, see chapter
"Specification / Data table".
- Lawn areas and shrubs help reduce the spread of noise.
- Noise propagation can also be reduced through dense pali-
sades or similar.
f Ensure that the entire appliance frame is in full contact with
the substrate. Uneven substrates can increase sound emis-
sions.
f Ensure that the air intake direction is the same as the main
wind direction. Air should not be drawn in against the wind.
f Ensure that the air intake and air discharge are never direct-
ed towards noise-sensitive rooms of the house, e.g.bed-
rooms, or neighbouring houses.
f Avoid installation on large, echoing floor areas, e.g.tiled
floors.
f Avoid installation between reflective building walls. Reflect-
ing building walls can increase the noise level.

A WPM heat pump manager is required to operate the appliance.
This controls the entire heating system.
f Observe the WPM installation instructions during installation.
9.8 Buffer cylinders
!
Material losses
A buffer cylinder with diffusion-proof insulation is essen-
tial to enable cooling by means of fan convectors.
Note
If cooling is provided via an area heating system, the
buffer cylinder is not required.
We recommend the use of a buffer cylinder to ensure trouble-free
appliance operation.
The buffer cylinder provides hydraulic separation of the volume
flows in the heat pump circuit and heating circuit, and also serves
as an energy source for defrosting.
f When operating without a buffer cylinder, observe the details
specified in the chapter “Commissioning/ Checking the flow
rate”.
9.9 Preparing the electrical installation
WARNING Electrocution
Carry out all electrical connection and installation work
in accordance with national and regional regulations.
WARNING Electrocution
The connection to the power supply must be in the form
of a permanent connection. Ensure the appliance can be
separated from the power supply by an isolator that dis-
connects all poles with at least 3mm contact separation.
This requirement can be met by contactors, isolators,
fuses, etc.
Material losses
The specified voltage must match the mains power sup-
ply. Observe the type plate.
Material losses
Provide separate fuses/MCBs for the three power circuits,
i.e. those of the appliance, the control unit and the elec-
tricemergency/booster heater.
Note
The appliance includes an inverter for the variable speed
compressor. In the event of an error, inverters can cause
DC residual currents. If RCDs are provided, they must be
type B AC/DC-sensitive.
A DC residual current can block type A RCDs.
f Ensure that the appliance power supply is discon-
nected from the distribution board.
The electrical data can be found in the chapter "Specification".

sure the compressor is on the upper appliance side.
- The longer the appliance is tilted, the greater the distribution
of refrigerant oil inside the system.
f Wait approximately 30minutes before starting the appliance
after it has been tilted.
10.2 Heating water connection
!
Material losses
The heating system to which the heat pump is connected
must be installed by a qualified contractor in accordance
with the water installation drawings that are part of the
technical guide.
To facilitate connection to the heating system, push-fit connectors
are enclosed with the appliance (see chapter "Fitting the push-fit
connectors").
f Before connecting the heat pump, flush the pipework thor-
oughly with suitable water. Foreign bodies, such as welding
pearls, rust, sand or sealant can impair the operational relia-
bility of the heat pump.
f Connect the heat pump on the heating side. Check for tight-
ness.
f Ensure that the heating flow and return are connected cor-
rectly.
f Provide thermal insulation in accordance with applicable
regulations.

10.4 Fitting the push-fit connectors
Note
The plastic push-fit connectors are not suitable for instal-
lation in the DHW line or the solar circuit.
f Install the push-fit connectors only in the heating
circuit.
!Material losses
Tighten the screw cap of the push-fit connector by hand.
Never use a tool.
!
Material losses
To ensure the push-fit connector is held securely, pipes
with a surface hardness >225HV (e.g. stainless steel)
must have a groove.
f Using a pipe cutter, cut a groove (depth ap-
prox.0.1mm) at a defined distance from the end of
the pipe.
- Pipe diameter 22mm: 17±0.5mm
- Pipe diameter 28mm: 21±0.5mm
How the push-fit connectors work
The push-fit connectors are equipped with a retainer with stain-
less steel serrations and an O-ring for sealing. The push-fit con-
nectors also have a "twist and secure" function. Simply turning
the screw cap by hand will secure the pipe in the connector and
push the O-ring against the pipe to seal it.
Making the push-fit connection
The connector must be in its relaxed position before the pipe is
inserted. In this position, there is a small gap between the screw
cap and main body.

f Push the pipe past the O-ring into the push-fit connector
until it reaches the prescribed insertion depth.
f Tighten the screw cap by hand against main body as far as it
will go. This secures the push-fit connection.
Undoing the push-fit connection
If the push-fit connectors later need to be undone, proceed as
follows:
f Turn the screw cap anti-clockwise until there is a narrow gap
of approx. 2mm. Press the retainer back with your fingers
and hold on to it.
f Pull out the inserted pipe.

10.5 Oxygen diffusion
!
Material losses
Do not use open vented heating systems. Use oxygen
diffusion-proof pipes in underfloor heating systems with
plastic pipework.
In underfloor heating systems with plastic pipes that are per-
meable to oxygen and in open vented heating systems, oxygen
diffusion may lead to corrosion on the steel components of the
heating system (e.g. on the indirect coil of the DHW cylinder, on
buffer cylinders, steel radiators or steel pipes).
f With heating systems that are permeable to oxygen, separate
the heating system between the heating circuit and the buff-
er cylinder.
!
Material losses
The products of corrosion (e.g. rusty sludge) can set-
tle in the heating system components, which may re-
sult in a lower output or fault shutdowns due to reduced
cross-sections.
10.6 Filling the heating system
Carry out a fill water analysis before filling the system. This analy-
sis may, for example, be requested from the relevant water supply
utility.
!
Material losses
To avoid damage as a result of scaling, it may be neces-
sary to soften or desalinate the fill water. The fill water
limits specified in chapter "Specification/ Data table"
must always be observed.
f Recheck these limits 8-12weeks after commission-
ing, every time the system is topped up and during
the annual service.
Note
With a conductivity >1000μS/cm, desalination treatment
is recommended in order to prevent corrosion.
Note
Suitable appliances for water softening and desalinating,
as well as for filling and flushing heating systems, can be
obtained from trade suppliers.
Note
Do not add inhibitors or additives to the filling water.
Note
The appliance offers frost protection for the connection
lines in regular operation.
In the event of prolonged power failure or when shutting
down, drain the DHW side of the appliance.
If it is not possible to detect power failures (for example
if the system is in a holiday home left vacant for extended
periods of time), the following protective measure can
be taken.
f Add a suitable concentration of ethylene glycol to
the fill water.
f Please note that antifreeze changes the density and
viscosity of the fill water.
