Problem – Too cold

Cause

Troubleshooting

Remedy

1. The heat pump’s control

computer is not set/adjus-

ted to the customer’s re-

quirements/wishes.

Check the ROOM and CURVE and MAX settings.

Adjust incorrect values in the heat pump’s

control computer.

ROOM = Desired indoor temperature

CURVE = Should be set so that the desired

indoor temperature (ROOM) is maintained

regardless of the outdoor temperature.

MAX = Highest set-point value on the sup-

ply line regardless of the outdoor tempera-

ture.

2. Incorrect operating mode

set in the heat pump’s con-

trol computer.

Check which operating mode is set.

If the incorrect operating mode is set,

change to the desired operating mode.

3. Sensor fault, OUTDOOR/

ROOM/SUPPLY LINE/

RETURN LINE.

Check what the relevant sensor shows. Is it a plausible/

actual value?

Measure the resistance of the sensor, check against the

ohm table in Measurement points .

If the sensor is defective, replace it.

4. The 3-way valve has jam-

med in hot water mode.

1. Check the function of the 3-way valve motor by test

running it manually. If the motor does not shift mode

during manual test operation, check that there is volt-

age to the motor, see wiring diagram.

2. Detach the motor and test closing and opening the

valve by turning the shaft by hand.

Is the motor being supplied with voltage

according to the wiring diagram in both

operating instances?MANUAL TEST – REV.V.

HOT WATER 0=Radiator mode1=Hot water

modeIf there is voltage to the motor but it

does not shift mode, replace it.

5. Defective electric heating

element.

Use a buzzer and check if all coils in the electric heating el-

ement are intact.

If the electric heating element is defective,

replace it.

6. The heat pump has stop-

ped on HIGH RETURN.

Check what the MAX RETURN value is set at in the

heat pump’s control computer. It must be adjusted to

the unit’s maximum supply temperature and the sys-

tem’s delta temperature so that it does not cut at too

high a return temperature when the highest supply

temperature is transmitted.

Check what the return line sensor shows. Is it a plausi-

ble/actual value? If not, take a resistance reading from

the sensors and check against the ohm table in Meas-

urement points .

If the MAX RETURN value is not adjusted for

the system according to the troubleshoot-

ing window, adjust it.

If the sensor is defective, replace it.

7. Heat production is stop-

ped by the HYSTERESIS

function.

If the flow temperature rises as soon as heat production is

stopped by HYSTERESIS before INTEGRAL reaches 0, there

may be heating deficit in the house.

Check if heat production stops because the hysteresis

value is set too low? (See the installation instructions

for factory setting.)

Check if heat production stops because thermostats/

valves in the heating system are closed or partially

closed?

Check if heat production stops because the heating

system is under dimensioned?

Try increasing the hysteresis value un-

til the heat pump stops on INTEGRAL

instead.

Open thermostats/valves in the heat-

ing system and check that the heat

pump stops on INTEGRAL.

If the heating system is deemed to be

under dimensioned, the system must

be extended (the heat emitting sur-

face increased).
