EKMBU EKMBUHCA9W1
Daikin Altherma low temperature monobloc backup heater
4P405547-1C – 2015.08
INFORMATION
Inside the backup heater, an automatic air purge valve is
installed. For the location of this valve, refer to the
"Technical data" chapter of the installer reference guide.
For instructions on how to perform an air purge, refer to the
"Commissioning" chapter of the installation manual of the
outdoor unit.

Fix the wiring with cable ties to the cable tie mountings.
NOTICE
The distance between the high voltage and low voltage
cables should be at least 25 mm.
4.4.2
To connect the backup heater power
supply
CAUTION
To guarantee the unit is completely earthed, always
connect the backup heater power supply and the earth
cable.
CAUTION
If a tank with a built‑in electrical booster heater (EKHW) is
part of the system, use a dedicated power circuit for the
backup heater and booster heater. NEVER use a power
circuit shared by another appliance. This power circuit
must be protected with the required safety devices
according to the applicable legislation.
Depending on the model, the backup heater capacity can vary. Make
sure that the power supply is in accordance with the backup heater
capacity, as listed in the table below.

(a)
Equipment complying with EN/IEC 61000-3-12 (European/
International Technical Standard setting the limits for
harmonic currents produced by equipment connected to
public low-voltage systems with input current >16 A and
≤75 A per phase.).
(b)
This equipment complies with EN/IEC 61000‑3‑11
(European/International Technical Standard setting the
limits for voltage changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker in
public low-voltage supply systems for equipment with rated
current ≤75 A) provided that the system impedance Z
sys
is
less than or equal to Z
max
at the interface point between the
user's supply and the public system. It is the responsibility
of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by
consultation with the distribution network operator if
necessary, that the equipment is connected only to a
supply with a system impedance Z
sys
less than or equal to
Z
max
.
1
Connect the backup heater power supply. For *3V models, a
double‑pole fuse is used for F1B. For *9W models, a 4‑pole
fuse is used for F1B.
2
If required, modify the connection on terminal X14M.
