Bypass valve foreseen?
Yes
No
Modify the bypass valve setting
to reach the minimum required
flow rate + 2 l/min
In case the actual flow rate is
below the minimum flow rate
(required during defrost/backup
heater operation), modifications
at hydraulic configuration are
required. Increase the space
heating loops that can NOT be
closed or install a pressure
controlled bypass valve.

Air purge function
When commissioning and installing the unit, it is very important to
remove all air in the water circuit. When the air purge function is
running, the pump operates without actual operation of the unit and
the removal of air in the water circuit will start.
NOTICE
Before starting the air purge, open the safety valve and
check if the circuit is sufficiently filled with water. Only if
water escapes the valve after opening it, you can start the
air purge procedure.
There are 2 modes for purging air:
▪ Manually: the unit will operate with a fixed pump speed and in a
fixed or custom position of the 3-way valve. The custom position
of the 3-way valve is a helpful feature to remove all air from the
water circuit in the space heating or the domestic hot water
heating mode. The operation speed of the pump (slow or quick)
can also be set.
▪ Automatic: the unit automatically changes the pump speed and
the position of the 3-way valve between the space heating or the
domestic hot water heating mode.
Typical workflow
Purging the air from the system should consist of:
1
Performing a manual air purge
2
Performing an automatic air purge
NOTICE
The outdoor unit is equipped with a manual air purge
valve. The air purge procedure requires manual action.
INFORMATION
Start by performing a manual air purge. When almost all
the air is removed, perform an automatic air purge. If
necessary, repeat performing the automatic air purge until
you are sure that all air is removed from the system.
During air purge function, pump speed limitation [9‑0D] is
NOT applicable.
Make sure the user interface shows the home screens and that the
space heating and domestic hot water demands are turned off.
The air purge function automatically stops after 30 minutes.
