Daikin Altherma – Low temperature split
4P384974-1 – 2015.01
Possible causes
Corrective action
The water volume in the
installation is too high
Make sure that the water volume
in the installation is below the
maximum allowed value (see
"6.4.3 To check the water
volume" on page 26
and
"6.4.4 Changing the pre-pressure
of the expansion vessel" on
page 27
).
The water circuit head is too high The water circuit head is the
difference in height between the
indoor unit and the highest point
of the water circuit. If the indoor
unit is located at the highest
point of the installation, the
installation height is considered
0 m. The maximum water circuit
head is 10 m.
Check the installation
requirements.
12.3.5
Symptom: The water pressure relief valve
leaks
Possible causes
Corrective action
Dirt is blocking the water
pressure relief valve outlet
Check whether the pressure
relief valve works correctly by
turning the red knob on the valve
counterclockwise:
▪ If you do NOT hear a clacking
sound, contact your dealer.
▪ If the water keeps running out
of the unit, close both the
water inlet and outlet shut-off
valves first and then contact
your dealer.

▪ The thermal protector of the
backup heater has not been
activated. If it has, check:
▪ The water pressure
▪ Whether there is air in the
system
▪ The air purge operation
Press the reset button in the
switch box. See
"14.4 Components" on page 92
for the location of the reset
button.
Possible causes
Corrective action
The backup heater equilibrium
temperature has not been
configured correctly
Increase the "equilibrium
temperature" to activate the
backup heater operation at a
higher outdoor temperature. Go
to:
▪ [A.5.1.4] > Installer settings >
Heat sources > Backup heater
> Equilibrium temp. OR
▪ [A.8] > Installer settings >

have been configured
appropriately:
▪ Make sure that the "space
heating priority status" has
been enabled. Go to [A.8] >
Installer settings > Overview
settings [5‑02]
▪ Increase the "space heating
priority
temperature"
to
activate
backup
heater
operation at a higher outdoor
temperature. Go to [A.8] >
Installer settings > Overview
settings [5‑03]

point is temporarily unusual high
Possible causes
Corrective action
