Daikin Altherma 3 R W
4P629081-1A – 2020.08
WARNING
The backup heater MUST have a dedicated power supply
and MUST be protected by the safety devices required by
the applicable legislation.
NOTICE
Wiring is different for a NC (normally closed) valve and a
NO (normally open) valve.
NOTICE
Make sure to select and install the safety thermostat
according to the applicable legislation.
In any case, to prevent unnecessary tripping of the safety
thermostat, we recommend the following:
▪ The safety thermostat is automatically resettable.
▪ The safety thermostat has a maximum temperature
variation rate of 2°C/min.
▪ There is a minimum distance of 2 m between the safety
thermostat and the 3‑way valve.
Configuration (see
21])
NOTICE
This chapter explains only the basic configuration. For
more detailed explanation and background information,
see the installer reference guide.
NOTICE
An overpressure bypass valve can be integrated in the
system. Keep in mind that this valve might not be shown
on the illustrations.
NOTICE
NOT configuring the system in the following way can cause
damage to the heat emitters. If there are 2 zones, it is
important that in heating:
▪ the zone with the lowest water temperature is
configured as the main zone, and
▪ the zone with the highest water temperature is
configured as the additional zone.
NOTICE
If there are 2 zones and the emitter types are wrongly
configured, water of high temperature can be sent towards
a low temperature emitter (underfloor heating). To avoid
this:
▪ Install an aquastat/thermostatic valve to avoid too high
temperatures towards a low temperature emitter.
▪ Make sure you set the emitter types for the main zone
[2.7] and for the additional zone [3.7] correctly in
accordance with the connected emitter.
NOTICE
Average
emitter
temperature
=
Leaving
water
temperature – (Delta T)/2
This means that for a same leaving water temperature
setpoint, the average emitter temperature of radiators is
lower than that of underfloor heating because of a bigger
delta T.
Example radiators: 40–10/2=
35°C
Example underfloor heating: 40–5/2=
37.5°C
To compensate, you can:
▪ Increase
the
weather-dependent
curve
desired
temperatures [2.5].
▪ Enable leaving water temperature modulation and
increase the maximum modulation [2.C].
NOTICE
If an external room thermostat is used, the external room
thermostat will control the room frost protection. However,
the room frost protection is only possible if [C.2]

Commissioning (see
NOTICE
General
commissioning
checklist.
Next
to
the
commissioning instructions in this chapter, a general
commissioning checklist is also available on the Daikin
Business Portal (authentication required).
The general commissioning checklist is complementary to
the instructions in this chapter and can be used as a
guideline and reporting template during the commissioning
and hand-over to the user.
NOTICE
ALWAYS operate the unit with thermistors and/or pressure
sensors/switches. If NOT, burning of the compressor might
be the result.
WARNING
Air purging heat emitters or collectors.
Before you
purge air from heat emitters or collectors, check if
or
is displayed on the home screen of the user interface.
▪ If not, you can purge air immediately.
▪ If yes, make sure that the room where you want to
purge air is sufficiently ventilated.
Reason:
Refrigerant
might leak into the water circuit, and subsequently into
the room when you purge air from the heat emitters or
collectors.
NOTICE
To perform an underfloor heating screed dryout, room frost
protection needs to be disabled ([2‑06]=0). By default, it is
enabled ([2‑06]=1). However, due to the "installer-on-site"
mode (see "Commissioning"), room frost protection will be
automatically disabled for 36 hours after the first power-on.
If the screed dryout still needs to be performed after the
first 36 hours of power-on, manually disable room frost
protection by setting [2‑06] to "0", and KEEP it disabled
until the screed dryout has finished. Ignoring this notice will
result in cracking of the screed.
