1. General description
1.1. General information
By purchasing this system you have decided in favor
of a modern and cost-e
ff
ective heating system. Con-
tinuous quality controls and improvements as well as
functional checks at our production facilities guaran-
tee technically error-free equipment.
Please read this documentation carefully. It con-
tains important instructions for a correct installa-
tion, for the reliable and an economical operation
of the system.
1.2. Safety instructions
Installation and maintenance operations can be as-
sociated with dangers resulting from high system
pressures, high temperatures and voltaged parts.
Heat pumps may only be installed by competent spe-
cialist and exclusively put into operation by a cus-
tomer service specialist trained for that purpose by
iDM-Energiesysteme GmbH.
If maintenance work is being done on the heat pump,
disconnect the system and ensure that it is volt-free
and provided with a safeguard to prevent unintention-
al restarting. Furthermore all safety instructions in the
respective documentation or on instruction plates af-
fi
xed to the heat pump itself resp. all other pertinent
safety regulations shall be observed.
1.3. Transport and storage
In transporting the heat pump ensure that it is never
tilted by more than 15°. Do not remove the transport
packaging until the heat pump has reached its instal-
lation location. Heat pump components must not be
stored outside. Heat pumps must not be stored in
humid rooms or dusty environments. The transport
fi
xtures as described in the following assembly
instructions are used to transport the heat pump
manually. The transport
fi
xtures must not be used for
transporting the components with a crane or similar
hoisting equipment.
1.4. Sound emission
TERRA heat pumps run extremely smoothly due
to their construction. It is nevertheless important to
ensure that the heating room is located beyond the
noise-sensitive living area and furnished with a well-
closing door.
1.5. Construction drying and
fl
oating screed
heating
During drying or screed heating, the heat require-
ment can exceed the heating capacity many times
over due to the high moisture content of the building.
The heat pump system is not designed for this in-
creased heat requirement. In continuous operation of
the heat pump, there is a risk that the outdoor unit will
ice-up due to overload. For this reason, the increased
heat requirement must be covered by units to be pro-
vided by the customer.
1.6. Minimum heating temperature for air hat
pumps
In order for air heat pumps to perform defrosting
properly, a minimum temperature of 20 °C on the
heating side is required. During the heating season,
this temperature must not be fallen below. If this
temperature is not reached, a bivalent heat generator
must be used to reheat to the minimum temperature
of 20 °C. The temperature must not be lower than
20 °C during the heating season. The air heat pump
must not be switched o
ff
during this time.
1.7. Service and maintenance
Regular maintenance as well as an inspection and
maintenance of all important system components
guarantees a reliable and low-price operation of the
system in the long term. We recommend you to sign
a maintenance contract with your competent cus-
tomer service.
