General information
By purchasing this system you have acquired a
modern and ef
fi
cient heating system. Ongoing qua-
lity controls and improvements as well as functional
checks at the factory guarantee you technically per-
fect equipment.
Please read through this documentation carefully.
It contains important information for correct
installation and safe and economical operation of
the system.
1.1. Standards and directives
Note for the installation of the heatpump follow all
effective national and international piping- and ins-
tallation rules and the instructions of this Installation
instruction.
Amongst others comparing the following:
- the general effective rules for accident prevention
and safety regulations
- the regulations for environmental protection
- the provisions/regulations of the professional asso-
ciations
- the effective laws, standards, guidelines and regu-
lations e.g. DIN, EN, DVGW, VDI and VDE
- regulations of the local suppliers/supply company
1.2. Safety instr uctions
Installation and maintenance work can be hazardous
due to high system pressure, high temperatures and
live parts, and may only be carried out by specialist
staff.
Heat pumps may only be installed by competent spe-
cialist staff and commissioned by a customer service
company trained to do so by iDM-Energiesysteme
GmbH.
When working on the heat pump, the system must be
shut-off and secured against re-activation.
In addition, all safety instructions in the relevant do-
cumentation, stickers on the heat pump itself and all
other applicable safety regulations must be observed.

1.3. Storage
Heat pump components may not be stored outdoors.
Heat pumps should not be stored in wet rooms or in
potentially dust rooms.
1.4. Installation room
The internal unit of the iPump A 3-11 should be ins-
talled in a frost-proof room. The Room temperature
should be between 5°C and 25°C.
To minimize vibrations and noises, the heat pump
must be isolate from the building structure. Basically,
the setting up of the heat pump on lightweight design
ceilings must be avoided. In case of a
fl
oating
fl
oor
screed the screed and the sound damping around the
heat pump have to be omitted.
The installation in wet rooms or in potentially dust or
explosion-endangered rooms is not allowed.
Gas from refrigerants in plant rooms must not escape
into vicinal rooms, stair rooms, courtyards, walks or
into the drainage system of the building. The gas has
to be channelled off safely.
In case of danger, the plant room has to be evacuated
immediately.
In case a natural ventilation is not possible, a me-
chanical ventilation has to be provided. A mechanical
ventilation has to be equipped with an independent
emergency control outside of the machine room near
the door.
Heat pumps should not be installed in rooms with high
electromagentic in
fl
uences from other installations.
If the minimum size of the installation room falls below
the required value, the room must be de- signed as
an machine room according to EN 378!
