2. Function

2.1 Control Optima 155

The flow diagram in the installation manual shows the 

location of the sensors, while the control circuit board 
shows the relay outputs and the other outputs for 
connecting fan and control panel.

Vanvex R sanitary hot water heat pump:

The hot water heat pump is only intended to produce 

hot tapping water for domestic use within the specified 

temperature limits. The Vanvex R sanitary hot water heat 
pump is a complete unit with a 285 litre hot water tank, 
extraction fans, heat pump and also equipped with a 
complete electrical equipment.

Capacity:

The Vanvex is capable of producing a hot water volume 
of app. 1000 Litres at 45°C. The actual volume depends 
on the supplied fresh water temperature, air temperature 
and the pattern of use of hot water. The additional 
electrical heating element (1,5 kW) may be used to boost 
the capacity whenever needed. The heat pump only 
uses app. 27% of the energy compared to a conventional 
electric boiler.

Heat pump operation:

The control starts the compressor shortly after hot water 
has been tapped. The compressor will run until the entire 
boiler has been heated to the set temperature again. 

Usually the heat pump can produce a sufficient amount of 

hot tapping water covering the needs of a common family.

Water heating:

When hot water is drawn off, the boiler will be refilled 

with cold water at the bottom. A sensor measures the 
temperature at the bottom of the tank and starts the 
compressor, if the temperature has fallen 5°C below 
the set temperature. The compressor stops, when the 
water has been heated to the set temperature. While 
the compressor operates, the fan runs and circulates air 
through the cooling surface. 

Fan operation:

The fan may be set to run continuously,when the 
compressor has stopped - by selecting level 2 or level 3. 
This option may be chosen when the Vanvex R is used 
as an extraction system in the residential wet rooms. If 
the input to T4 short circuits, the control is forced to run 
at 3rd speed. This may be used in order to achieve more 
extract in e.g. the bathroom while taking a shower. When 
breaking the short circuit on the input pins to T4, the 
control will return to its previous step.

Defrosting:

When the temperature difference between the 
temperature in front of the cooling surface and the 
temperature of the cooling surface becomes too large 
(as happens when ice is formed on the cooling surface), 
the unit goes into defrost mode. The magnetic valve 
MA 4 opens and the supply air fan stops, until the ice 
has melted and the cooling surface has reached a 
temperature of app. 5°C (depends on the settings). Then 
the magnetic valve closes again and the supply air fan 
resumes operation.

2.2 Extra Capacity

If a situation should occur where the sanitary hot water 
heat pump is not capable of producing enough hot 
tapping water, an extra electrical heating element that is 
mounted in the boiler can be switched on. Doing so, it is 
possible to heat up more water. It is possible to set the 
desired temperature to which the electrical heater should 
heat up the water. (Only use the electrical heater when 
needed, as it uses more energy than the compressor). 
The activation of the electrical heater is done manually on 
the display.

2.3 Operating safety

High-pressure switch:

To prevent the compressor exceeding its range of 
operation, there is an integral high pressure switch, which 
interrupts when the pressure becomes too high. Activate 
the red reset button once the cause of the error has been 

identified. When the high pressure switch interrupts, the 

red Genvex logo will flash until the red reset button on 

the pressure switch is activated. In order to prevent a 
repetition of a pressure switch error, the water may be set
2-3°C lower.

Safety breaker for electrical heating element

If an error occurs at the heater, the safety breaker trips 
and stops the heater in order to prevent the tank from 
being overheated. 

When working on the heat pump, always 

make sure that the power supply is 

disconnected.

Any work on this unit may only be carried 

out by trained personnel!

2.4 Faults

 

High-pressure switch:

When the pressure switch trips, the red light on the 
display will light, until the pressure switch is reset.
