This Addendum manual MUST be followed for Sunamp UniQ Heat
Batteries installations with Vaillant Arotherm Plus High Temperature
Heat Pumps. This manual should be read in conjunction with the
Sunamp UniQ HW+i or HW+iPV Heat Batteries Installation and User
Manual.
This Addendum manual ONLY contains relevant information on how
to setup the hydraulics and electrics, between the Heat Battery and
the Vaillant Arotherm Plus Heat Pump for the install and what
settings should be applied to the Vaillant Arotherm Plus, Heat Pump
Interface and Sensocomfort controls. This is to allow the correct
control configuration between the Sunamp UniQ Heat Battery and
the Vaillant Arotherm Plus.
Please note that Sunamp takes no responsibility for any other
system configuration and installation other than what is
documented in this Addendum manual.

Link 3 will be provided fixed within the product; for this product type it MUST
remain in place. Removing the Link 3 will result in increased consumption
and running times of the Vaillant Arotherm Plus Heat Pump.
•Run and connect 3 Core mains power supply cable (16A, minimum
2.5mm2CSA) from the local 2-pole isolator to the Heat Battery
controller (Figures 2 and 3).
•Wire the cable via the appliance case grommets and into the control
box housing (UniQ HW+i installation manual Figure 8 and Figures 2 and
3 below).
•Prepare if necessary and wire the mains power cable in the following
terminals (UniQ HW+i installation manual, Figure 10 and Figures 2 and
3 below):
oBrown (Live): Terminal L1 (Live)
oBlue (Neutral): Terminal N1 (Neutral)
oGreen/Yellow (Earth): Terminal PE (Protective Earth)
1.2.1 Electric override switch wiring
•Wire a 2 core shielded PVC insulated cable (minimum 0.75mm² CSA,
24 x 0.2mm according to BS 6500) from a 2-pole Volt-free contact
switch, run the wire into the appliance via the appliance case cabling
grommets and then into the control box housing through the hole
available. Secure the cables in Terminal T1 & T2 independently (Figure
2 & Figure 3).
Warning: Please DO NOT connect a fused spur for this connection.
Note: This switch should be off by default. Engaging this switch will put
the Heat Battery into electric charging mode only and disable the
function of the Vaillant Arotherm Plus Heat Pump until the switch is set
to off. This can lead to increased electricity consumption, resulting in
higher energy costs. This should be explained to the end user and the
switch labelled accordingly.

1.2.2 External heat source sensor cable wiring
•Wire a 2 core PVC insulated cable (minimum 0.75mm² CSA, 24 x
0.2mm according to BS 6500), the heat battery controller in this
application acts as hot water thermostat. The cable will act as a hot
water heating tank sensor from the heat battery controller terminals T3
& T4 into the Vaillant Heat Pump Interface controller SP1 screw
terminals 1&2 (please refer to Vaillant Arotherm Plus Installation
manual). Please run the wire into the heat battery appliance via the
appliance case cabling grommets and then into the control box housing
through the hole available. Secure the cables in Terminals T3 & T4
independently (Figure 2).
