Daikin Altherma – Low temperature split
4P401676-1D – 2018.07
INFORMATION
If the unit detects flow when the pump is not running, an
external device might be causing flow, or there might be
something wrong with the flow measuring devices (flow
sensor).
▪ If the flow sensor detects flow when the pump is not
running, the unit will stop operation and the user
interface will display error C0‑00. For the unit to resume
operation, this error needs to be reset manually.

Disposal
NOTICE
Do NOT try to dismantle the system yourself: dismantling
of the system, treatment of the refrigerant, oil and other
parts MUST comply with applicable legislation. Units
MUST be treated at a specialised treatment facility for
reuse, recycling and recovery.
13.1
Overview: Disposal
Typical workflow
Disposing of the system typically consists of the following stages:
1
Pumping down the system.
2
Bringing the system to a specialized treatment facility.
INFORMATION
For more details, see the service manual.
13.2
To pump down
Example:
To protect the environment, pump down when relocating
the unit or when disposing of the unit.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage.
If you want to pump
down the system, and there is a leak in the refrigerant
circuit:
▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,
with which you can collect all refrigerant from the
system into the outdoor unit.
Possible consequence:
Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor
because of air going into the operating compressor.
▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's
compressor does NOT have to operate.
NOTICE
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before
removing the refrigerant piping. If the compressor is still
running and the stop valve is open during pump down, air
will be sucked into the system. Compressor breakdown or
damage to the system can result due to abnormal pressure
in the refrigerant cycle.
Pump down operation will extract all refrigerant from the system into
the outdoor unit.
1
Remove the valve cap from the liquid stop valve and the gas
stop valve.
2
Carry out forced cooling. See
"13.3 To start and stop forced
cooling" on page 72
.
3
After 5 to 10 minutes (after only 1 or 2 minutes in case of very
low ambient temperatures (<−10°C)), close the liquid stop valve
with a hexagonal wrench.
4
Check on the manifold if the vacuum is reached.
5
After 2-3 minutes, close the gas stop valve and stop forced
cooling.

To start and stop forced cooling
Confirm that DIP switch SW2 is in COOL mode.
1
Press the forced cooling operation switch SW1 to begin forced
cooling.
2
Press the forced cooling operation switch SW1 to stop forced
cooling.

NOTICE
Take care that while running forced cooling operation, the
water temperature remains higher than 5°C (see
temperature read out of the indoor unit). You can achieve
this, for example, by activating all fans of the fan coil units.
