Checklist before commissioning
Do NOT operate the system before the following checks are OK:
You read the complete installation instructions, as
described in the
installer reference guide
.
The
indoor unit
is properly mounted.
The
outdoor unit
is properly mounted.
The following
field wiring
has been carried out according
to this document and the applicable legislation:
▪ Between the local supply panel and the outdoor unit
▪ Between indoor unit and outdoor unit
▪ Between the local supply panel and the indoor unit
▪ Between the indoor unit and the valves (if applicable)
▪ Between the indoor unit and the room thermostat (if
applicable)
▪ Between the indoor unit and the domestic hot water
tank (if applicable)
▪ Between the gas boiler and the local supply panel
(only applicable in case of hybrid system)
The system is properly
earthed
and the earth terminals
are tightened.
The
fuses
or locally installed protection devices are
installed according to this document, and have NOT been
bypassed.
The
power supply voltage
matches the voltage on the
identification label of the unit.
There are NO
loose connections
or damaged electrical
components in the switch box.
There are NO
damaged components
or
squeezed
pipes
on the inside of the indoor and outdoor units.
Depending on the backup heater type,
backup heater
circuit breaker
F1B on the switch box is turned ON.
Only for tanks with built-in booster heater:
The
booster heater circuit breaker
F2B on the
switch box is turned ON.
There are NO
refrigerant leaks
.
The
refrigerant pipes
(gas and liquid) are thermally
insulated.
The correct pipe size is installed and the
pipes
are
properly insulated.
There is NO
water leak
inside the indoor unit.
The
shut-off valves
are properly installed and fully open.
The
stop valves
(gas and liquid) on the outdoor unit are
fully open.
The
air purge
valve is open (at least 2 turns).
The
pressure relief valve
purges water when opened.
The
minimum water volume
is guaranteed in all
conditions. See "To check the water volume" in
"3.2 Preparing water piping" on page 4
INFORMATION
The software is equipped with an "installer-on-site" mode
([4‑0E]), that disables automatic operation by the unit. At
first installation, setting [4‑0E] is by default set to "1",
meaning automatic operation is disabled. All protective
functions are then disabled. If the user interface home
pages are off, the unit will NOT operate automatically. To
enable automatic operation and the protective functions,
set [4‑0E] to "0".
36 hours after the first power-on, the unit will automatically
set [4‑0E] to "0", ending "installer-on-site" mode and
enabling the protective functions. If – after first
installation – the installer returns to the site, the installer
has to set [4‑0E] to "1" manually.
6.2
Checklist during commissioning
The
minimum flow rate
during backup heater/defrost
operation is guaranteed in all conditions. See "To check
the water volume and flow rate" in
To perform an
air purge
.
To perform a
test run
.
To perform an
actuator test run
.
Underfloor screed dryout function
The underfloor screed dryout function is started (if
necessary).
6.2.1
To check the minimum flow rate
1
Confirm according to the hydraulic configuration which space
heating loops can be closed due to mechanical, electronic, or
other valves.
2
Close all space heating loops that can be closed (see previous
step).
3
Start the pump test run operation (see
4
Go to [6.1.8]:
> Information > Sensor information > Flow rate
to check the flow rate. During pump test run operation, the unit
can operate below this minimum required flow rate.
Bypass valve foreseen?
Yes
No
Modify the bypass valve setting
to reach the minimum required
flow rate + 2 l/min
In case the actual flow rate is
below the minimum flow rate,
modifications at the hydraulic
configuration are required.
Increase the space heating loops
that can NOT be closed or install
a pressure‑controlled bypass
valve.
