Electrical Connections

Details on electrical connections for various hydraulic systems, specifying terminal blocks for neutral and protective conductors. Mains voltage is 230VAC 50-60Hz, with low voltage connections in the left-hand terminal compartment. Specific terminals are designated for different components like heating circuit pumps and compressors. Sensor connections include options for RS485 interfaces.

Installation of Temperature Sensors

Temperature sensor cables must be routed separately from mains voltage cables. The system uses Pt1000 sensors for accurate control, with cables extendable up to 30m. Proper placement is crucial for accuracy.

RS485 Interface Installation

Requires a 2-strand twisted-pair cable, routed separately from mains voltage cables. A special circuit board is needed, and proper polarity must be ensured. Jumpers are required for the first and last units in a sequence.

External Error Messages and Voltage Interlock

The controller can display external error conditions via sensor input terminals. Short circuits can stop or shut down the heat pump, with errors displayed on the screen.

Operation and Display

Features a display with text and graphics for easy operation. LEDs indicate different modes and errors. Four keys are used for input, with functions varying based on the situation. The menu structure allows navigation through settings and functions.

Menu Structure and Parametrisation

Includes options for displaying current temperature values, controlling system functions, setting operating times, and configuring parameters. A commissioning help feature guides initial setup, with manual configuration available.

Measurement Values and Statistics

  • Glycol Portion: Adjustable from 0% to 60%, default is 40%.
  • Flow Rate: Ranges from 10 to 20000 l/h, default is 3000 l/h.
Procedures
  • Sensor Calibration: Allows manual compensation for temperature deviations, adjustable in 0.5°C steps.
  • Commissioning: Guided setup for initial commissioning, only to be performed by specialists.
  • Factory Settings: Resets all settings to default, requiring recommissioning.
  • Expansions: Additional options available if expansion modules are installed.
Heat Pump System
  • Runtime: Compressor remains on for a set time after heat demand, default is 10 minutes.
  • Delay: Glycol and other pumps activate before the compressor, default delay is 20 seconds.
  • Overrun: Glycol pump continues running after compressor shutdown, default is 20 seconds.
  • Idle Time: Compressor remains off for a set time after operation, default is 10 minutes.
  • Heating Circuit Pump: Can be set to operate based on outdoor temperature or flow, default is outdoor temperature.
Menu Lock

Secures the controller against unintended changes, with certain menus remaining accessible.

Language

Language selection available during initial commissioning, varies by device design.

Service Values

Used for remote diagnosis, should be recorded during errors for specialist consultation.

Malfunctions
  • Error Messages: Indicate sensor issues, frost protection, or temperature limits.
  • Fuse Replacement: Instructions for replacing a defective fuse.
  • Maintenance: Annual checks recommended, including date/time verification and parameter optimization.
Useful Notes
