Requirements for Initial Startup
(Commissioning)
The initial startup of the AEROTOP T
heat pump must be carried out by our
qualified technicians or the warranty will
become void.
Operating the heat pump is prohibited if
the following conditions exist:
•
Construction drying
•
System/unit used in unfinished
buildings
•
Windows or exterior doors
unfinished and locked.
These cases require the use of a
specific construction heating system.
Functional heating or surface-ready
heating with the heat pump acc. to
DIN EN 1264 is only permitted when
complying with these conditions.
Furthermore, it must be noted that the
design of the heat pump concerning its
standard operation may not yield the
full extent of the required heat output.
The following notes must be observed
as well: The corresponding rules and
regulations of the floor/screed manu-
facturer! Proper function is only ensured
with a correctly installed system
(hydraulics, electrical, settings)!
Deviations may damage the floor/screed!
Ensure the following points are imple-
mented and checked before the initial
startup of the heat pump:
•
The control box is installed and
completely
connected.
•
The heat pump is professionally
and completely installed (hydraulics
and
electrical).
•
All external system components
required for operating the heat
pump (circulation pumps, three-way
valves, sensors, etc.) are completely
and professionally connected.
•
The hydraulic connections have
been established completely and
professionally.
•
All sensors are professionally
installed, shielded, and positioned
in the correct locations as outlined
by the respective system scheme.
•
The heating system is profes-
sionally installed and has been
flushed, charged, vented, and
checked for leaks as per rules and
regulations.
•
The electrical voltage meets the
requirements listed on the type
plate of the heat pump.
•
All fittings are in operational position.
The following persons must be
present
to carry out the initial startup
process:
•
The planer; he or she must indicate
the operational parameters.
•
The installer; he or she is responsi-
ble for the functionality and settings
of the hydraulic system.
•
The system maintainer (customer
or representative); he or she will
be instructed in the operation and
functions of the system.
If an initial startup is requested without
all of these conditions having been met,
ELCO rejects any responsibility for
system malfunctions or other opera-
tional problems. In this case, the
system is operated at the risk and re-
sponsibility of the owner.
Parameterization
The heat pump and the entire system is
controlled with the integrated LOGON B
WP61 controller. Please consult the
system documentation for the correct
parameter settings.
After the Initial Startup
After the initial startup is finished, the
AEROTOP T heat pump does not
require any additional interventions or
adjustments to the controller.
Any desired heating temperature
adjustments can be made in ac-
cordance with the enclosed user
manual for the LOGON B WP61
controller.
Controller Function
Different temperature sensors and
measuring elements in the heat pump,
at the exterior air, in the system, in the
storage tank, in the hot water tank, and
possibly also in the living quarters are
used by the controller.
If and as needed, the controller passes
a heat demand signal to the heat pump.
The input of a heating curve is used
to control and adjust heating tempera-
tures. The heat pump as well as the
system is controlled automatically.
The system-relevant parameters are
entered when commissioning the
climate-based controller.
Heat Pump Upkeep
The AEROTOP T heat pump does not
require any special upkeep. However,
it is important to keep the system clean
and in good working order.
The specified leak checks must be
carried out as well. From an energetic
viewpoint, it is also recommended, es-
pecially in case of a new construction,
to have the heating parameters
checked and optimized by a service
technician during the second winter
after the initial startup since the initial
humidity has now evaporated from the
building and the required heating
output is less than initially.
Primary focus should be on keeping air
intake and outlet free of dust and other
foreign particles or objects. The air
intake and outlet openings must be
kept free of obstructions (e.g. leaves,
vehicles, debris).
Only trained and authorized service
technicians are permitted to service
AEROTOP T heat pumps.
The warranty becomes null and void if
the system or heat pump is serviced
by other persons or companies that are
not authorized to do so.
Error Messages
AEROTOP T heat pumps function
without problems as long as the dif-
ferent parameters do not deviate from
the intended or specified values. If one
or several of these parameters exceed
the limit values, the controller depicts
the corresponding error in plain text
and stops the heat pump if required to
protect the different components.
The different error messages are
described in the LOGON B WP61 user
manual. The heat pump is released
again with some errors (automatic
acknowledgement) once the intended
status has been reached again. It is
also usually possible to release the
heat pump manually.
In order to ensure reliable
functionality of your system, we
recommend purchasing a mainte-
nance/service contract.
