CONFIGURATION

The indoor unit should be configured by the installer to match the
installation environment (outdoor climate, installed options, etc.) and
user expertise.

DIP switch settings overview

DIP switch SS2 is located on the switch box PCB (see 

"Switch box

main components" on page 7

) and allows configuration of domestic

hot water tank installation, room thermostat connection and pump
operation.

Room thermostat installation configuration

The following table summarizes the required configuration and
thermostat wiring at the terminal block in the switch box. Pump
operation is listed in the third column. The three last columns indicate
whether the following functionality is available on the user interface
(UI) or handled by the thermostat (T):

space heating or cooling on/off (

y

)

heating/cooling changeover (

=

)

heating and cooling schedule timers (

pr

)

Pump operation configuration

Without room thermostat

When no thermostat is connected to the indoor unit, pump operation
will be determined by the leaving water temperature.

To  force continuous pump operation when no room thermostat is
connected do the following:

-

set toggle switch SS2-3 to ON,

-

short-circuit the terminal numbers 1-2-4 on the terminal block 
in the switch box.

With room thermostat

When a thermostat is connected to the indoor unit, the pump will
operate continuously whenever there is heating or cooling demand
requested by the thermostat.

It is important that all  information in this chapter is read
sequentially by the installer and that the system is
configured as applicable.

Switch off the power supply before opening the switch box
service panel and making any changes to the DIP switch
settings.

there is a simultaneous 
demand for more space 
heating/cooling and 
domestic water heating.

(a) only applicable in case DIP switch 2 = ON

Heating/cooling 
priority

No priority 
(Default)

When  no room thermostat  is connected to
the indoor unit, toggle switch SS2-3 should be
set to OFF.

When a room thermostat is connected to the
indoor unit, toggle switch SS2-3 should be set
to ON.

On the room thermostat, set the hysteresis appropriately to
prevent the pump from repeatedly turning on and off (i.e.
chattering), and thereby impacting the lifetime of the pump.

NOTE

When a room thermostat is connected to the
indoor unit, the heating and cooling schedule
timers are never available. Other schedule timers
are not affected. For more information on the
schedule timers, refer to the operation manual.

When a room thermostat is connected to the
indoor unit, and the 

=

  button or 

y

  button is

pressed, the centralised control indicator 

e

  will

flash to indicate that the room thermostat has
priority and controls on/off operation and change
over operation.

(a) The pump will stop when space heating/cooling is turned off or when the water 

reaches the desired water temperature as set on the user interface. With space 
heating/cooling turned on, the pump will then run every 5 minutes during 3 
minutes to check the water temperature.
