Error code is yy. For more information 

 

on these error codes, see section 5. 

dd.mm  The date on which the error occurred. 
 

4.2.2 Setting the external fan 

If  the  Aquacom  is  applied,  the  supply  fan  is 
supposed  to  be  assigned  more  power,  unless  the 
external  fan  is  constant  volume  controlled.  This  is 
necessary  because  the  Aquacom  causes  extra 
resistance  in  the  supply  air  pipe.  Also  make  sure 
that  a  possible  bypass  temperature  is  set  in  such 
way that during summertime the air cooled by the 
Aquacom does not flow into the pipe system. This 
could lead to condensation in the pipe system and 
this  could  cause  mold.  This  problem  especially 
occurs  when  the  bypass  temperature  is  set  lower 
than the factory setting. 
 

4.3 Operation of the control unit 
The  control  unit  controls  the  temperature  by 
turning the pump off and on. It also has a function 
to  protect  the  ground  during  winter  operation. 
Furthermore it will protect the pump from getting 
stuck. 
 

4.3.1 Operation of the control unit during summer 
operation 

If the measured outside temperature is higher than 
the  temperature  set  by  T  summer,  the  pump  will 
be  enabled.  If  the  temperature  after  the  heat 
exchanger will approach the temperature set by T2 
Aquacom, the pump will start switching on and off. 
Every three minutes the pump will be activated for 
X percent of the time. 
The  percentage  X  for  the  time  the  pump  is  active 
each  three  minutes  is  calculated  by  the  following 
formula: 
 
X =15% +(100/Pzomer * 1,8) * (T na Aquacom - T2 
Aquacom) 
 

4.3.2 Operation of the control unit during winter 
operation 

If the measured outside temperature is lower than 
the temperature set by T winter, the pump will be 
enabled.  If  there  is  only  a  small  amount  of  heat 

required, the pump will start switching on and off. 
Every three minutes the pump will be activated for 
X percent of the time. 
The  percentage  X  for  the  time  the  pump  is  active 
each  three  minutes  is  calculated  by  the  following 
formula: 
 

(100%/Pwinter)*(Twinter-Tbuiten) 

(100%/16)*(Twinter-T2 na Aquacom) 
 

4.3.3 Ground protection 

If  during  winter  operation  the  temperature  after 
the  heat  exchanger  is  one  degree  lower  than  the 
outside  temperature,  there  is  no  heat  absorption 
from  the  ground.  The  pump  will  be  disabled  for 
five hours so the ground can warm up again.  
 

4.3.4 Pump protection 

To prevent the pump from getting stuck when it is 
not  enabled  for  longer  periods  of  time,  pump 
protection is added to the control unit. This pump 
protection  makes  sure  the  pump  will  make  sure 
the  pump  is  enabled  at  least  two  minutes  each 
seven days. 
 

4.4 Maintenance by the installer 

NOTE:  Always  remove  the  plug  from  the 
wall socket before servicing the unit! Write 

down all maintenance operations in appendix III. 

We  recommend  to  commit  the  following  major 
maintenance  of  the  heat  recovery  unit  every  two 
years: 
-

 

Check  the  fins  of  the  heat  exchanger  for 
damage. 

-

 

Cleaning heat exchanger block. 

-

 

Cleaning condensation drain. 

-

 

Check the pump operation. 

-

 

Check  (and  if  necessary  repair)  the  electrical 
wiring. 

-

 

Check the operating pressure. 

-

 

Check glycol content. 

Besides  this,  we  recommend  to  clean  the 
ventilation pipe system every six years. 
 

4.4.1 Pressurizing 

If  when  reading  the  manometer  the  operation 
pressure  (between  0.8  and  1  bar)  appears  to  be 
incorrect,  the  system  needs  to  be  replenished.  To 
do this, follow the next steps: 
-

 

Use  a  garden  hose  from  the  nearest  water 
connection 

-

 

Connect  the  garden  hose  to  this  water 
connection
