As these circuits operate with differing media (brine/water, coolant and heating water), they are coupled to one another by means of heat exchangers. In these heat exchangers the heat passes from a medium at a high temperature to a medium at a lower temperature. The Vaillant geoTHERM heat pump can be supplied from different heat sources such as, e.g. geothermal heat (geoTHERM VWS) or ground water (geoTHERM VWW). 1/4 Electrical energy Cold water Hot water Heating system Additional heating Domestic hot water cylinder Switching valve Heating water circuit Heating water pump 3 Condenser 2 Expansion valve Compressor Evaporator 4 Coolant circuit 1 3/4 Environmental energy 4/4 Heating energy Brine pump Heat source circuit Heat source Fig. 2.3 Principle of operation of the heat pump Fig. 2.2 Using geothermal heat as a heat source The system consists of separate circuits which are coupled to one another by means of heat exchangers. These circuits are: - The heat source circuit, by means of which the energy from the heat source is transported to the coolant circuit. - The coolant circuit, which releases its heat to the heating water circuit by means of evaporation, compression, liquefaction and expansion. - The heating water circuit, which supplies the heating and the hot water generation for the domestic hot water cylinder. The coolant circuit is connected by means of the evaporator (1) to the environmental heat source, from which it extracts thermal energy. At the same time, the physical state of the coolant changes; it evaporates. The coolant circuit is connected by means of the condenser (3) to the heating system, to which it releases the heat again. In so doing, the coolant becomes liquid again; it condenses. As thermal energy can only pass from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature, the coolant in the evaporator must have a lower temperature than the environmental heat source. On the other hand, the temperature of the coolant in the condenser must be higher than that of the heating water in order to be able to release the heat to it. 6 Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Description of the device 2 These different temperatures are produced in the coolant circuit by means of a compressor (2) and an expansion valve (4), which are situated between the evaporator and the condenser. The coolant flows in vapour form from the evaporator into the compressor, where it is compressed. This causes the pressure and temperature of the coolant vapour to rise sharply. After this process it flows through the condenser, where it releases its heat to the heating water by condensation. It flows as a liquid to the expansion valve, where it expands significantly and in so doing loses much of its pressure and temperature. This temperature is now lower than that of the brine which flows through the evaporator. The coolant can thus take up more heat in the evaporator, turning into vapour in the process and flowing to the compressor. The cycle starts again. If required, the electric auxiliary heating can be switched in by means of the integrated controller. To prevent the formation of condensate in the interior of the unit, the pipes of the heat source circuit and the coolant circuit are insulated. Should condensate appear, however, it is collected in a pan inside the unit (see Fig. 2.7) and fed away underneath it. Drop formation under the unit is thus possible. 2.3 Design of the heat pump The Vaillant geoTHERM heat pump is available in the versions listed below. The versions differ principally in their output.

This is a chlorine-free coolant which does not affect the Earth's ozone layer. R 407 C is neither a fire hazard nor an explosion risk. However, maintenance work and interventions into the coolant circuit may only be undertaken by an expert technician with appropriate protective equipment. d Danger! R 407 C coolant! Do not inhale gases or vapours emanating from leaks in the coolant circuit. Risk to health! Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Escaping coolant can cause freezing if the exit point is touched! R 407 C coolant presents no danger in normal use and under normal conditions. With improper use, however, it can cause injury and damage. a Caution! This appliance contains the coolant, R 407 C. The coolant must not be allowed to escape into the atmosphere. R 407 C is a fluorinated greenhouse gas covered by the Kyoto Protocol, with a GWP of 1653 (GWP = Global Warming Potential). Before the appliance is disposed of, the coolant it contains must be completely drained into a suitable vessel so that it can then be recycled or disposed of in accordance with the regulations. The relevant work in connection with the coolant may only be carried out by officially certified specialists. Draining or filling with new coolant (see identification plate for quantity) may only be carried out via the service valves. All warranties become void if any approved replacement coolant other than the R 407 C recommended by Vaillant is used. 11 4 Assembly and installation 4 4.1 Assembly and installation Accessories h Note! Please see current price lists for information on possible necessary accessories. You can fit the following accessories to expand the heat pump system. You can find more detailed information on the installation of accessories in Chap. 6.9. Mixer module VR 60 With the mixer module, you can expand the control system of the heating installation by two mixer circuits. You can connect a maximum of six mixer modules. VR 90 remote control unit A separate remote control device can be connected for the first eight heating circuits (heat zone 1 heat zone 8). VR 10 standard sensor Additional sensors may be required, e.g. as flow, return, collector or cylinder sensors, depending on the configuration of the system. vrDIALOG 810/2 vrDialog is a communications unit with software and connecting cable which enables you to carry out diagnosis, monitoring and parameter setting on the heat pump from a computer. vrnetDIALOG 840/2, 860/2 The vrnetDIALOG communications unit enables you to carry out remote diagnosis, monitoring and parameter setting on the heat pump from a computer over a telephone connection or via an integrated GSM modem. VPA combination cylinder The Vaillant VPA combination cylinder can be fed from various energy sources and is used for heating both heating water and DHW. VWZ compact collector The VWZ ground collector system is used as a heat source with a small space requirement and simple, fast installation. It can only be combined with heat pump types VWS 81/2 and 101/2. External cooling VWZ NC 14/17 With the VWZ external cooling accessory, you can also use the VWS 14 and VWS 17 heat pumps for cooling. Other accessories - Heat transfer fluid - Filling pump - Safety assembly and tundish - Expansion vessel for the heating circuit 4.2 Requirements of the installation site – Choose a dry room that is generally frost-proof. – The floor must be level and sufficiently stable to be able to bear the weight of the heat pump, together with the DHW and possibly a buffer tank. – It must be possible to install suitable pipe conduits (for heat source, DHW and heating). – When choosing the installation site, bear in mind that when operating, the heat pump can transmit vibrations to the floor or nearby walls. – In accordance with DIN EN 378 T1, the minimum size of the installation space for heat pumps, (Vmin), is calculated as follows: Vmin = G/c G = coolant fill quantity in kg c = practical limit in kg/m3 (for R 407C c = 0.31 kg/m3) This yields the following minimum installation space: Heat pump type Start-up current limiter VWZ 30/2 SV The VWZ 30/2 SV is used to limit the short-term very high current consumption which occurs when the compressor starts up. This is recommended or stipulated by some power companies.

Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Assembly and installation 4 4.6 Requirements of the heating circuit The heat pump is only suitable for connection to a closed central heating installation. To ensure troublefree operation, the central heating installation must have been installed by authorised specialists in compliance with the applicable regulations. A heat pump is suited to low temperature heating systems. The system must therefore be designed for low flow temperatures (ideally around 30 to 35 °C). Furthermore, it must be ensured that power company outages are bridged over. EN 12828 requires the following the heating system installation: – a filling valve, in order to fill the heating system with water or be able to drain the water, – a diaphragm expansion vessel in the return line of the heating circuit, – an overpressure safety valve (opening pressure 3 bar) with pressure gauge (safety group) in the flow line of the heating circuit, immediately after the appliance, – an air/dirt separator in the return line of the heating circuit. 4.7 Scope of delivery 1 2 3 4 To avoid energy losses in accordance with the Energy Saving Order (EnEV) and to protect against freezing, all connection lines must be provided with thermal insulation. The pipes must be dirt free - if necessary, flush them thoroughly before filling. a Caution! Risk of damage! Do not add any antifreeze or corrosion protection agents to the heating water, as seals and other components can be damaged as a result and this can lead to water leaks. In hydraulic installations that are predominantly equipped with thermostatically or electrically controlled valves, it is necessary to ensure a constant, adequate flow through the heat pump. Regardless of the choice of heating system, the nominal flow rate of heating water must be ensured. This is guaranteed by a professionally installed buffer cylinder.

Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Assembly and installation 4 Filling the heating and heat source systems 5 4.12.3 Assembly of the well system (VWW only) a Caution! Risk of damage! Make sure that no negative pressure can arise in the lines during operation and after the well pump has been switched off. The flexible hoses within the heat pump can be damaged as a result of negative pressure in the lines. With water as the heat source, the well system is in most cases implemented with a suction and injection well. The customer-side well pump (immersion pump) should be fitted in the suction well. Follow the well pump installation and assembly instructions in this respect. See Chap. 6.4.4. for the electrical connections to the well pump When using ground water as a heat source, the quality of the water must be investigated before installation. To this end, a water sample must be examined in the laboratory and, using the aids provided by Vaillant for assessing ground water quality (tables, calculation software), a decision made as to whether the ground water can be used as a heat source. In the event of poor ground water quality, it may be necessary to use a VWS heat pump with a customer-side intermediate heat exchanger (for more details, see Vaillant PLI geoTHERM, No. 877959). • Install the heat source pipes and all their associated components. • Provide all the pipes with vapour-proof thermal insulation. The accessory kit contains an insulation mat for insulating the connection plate. 4.13 Fitting the VRC DCF outside temperature sensor Fit the sensor in accordance with the enclosed installation instructions. 4.14 Fitting the VR 90 remote control unit If you install several heating circuits, you can connect a separate VR 90 remote control unit for each of the first eight of them. It allows the operating mode and target room temperature to be set, and takes into account the actual room temperature measured by the built-in room sensor, if necessary. It is also possible to adjust the parameters for the associated heating circuit (timer programme, heating curve etc.) and to select the special functions (party, etc.). In addition, it is possible to query the heating circuit and to display service and fault messages. For assembly of the VR 90 remote control unit, see its enclosed installation instructions. Regarding installation see Chapter 6.9.1. Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 4.15 Installing the VR 60 mixer module With the mixer module, you can expand the control system of the heating installation by two mixer circuits. You can connect a maximum of six mixer modules. A unique bus address is set on the mixer module by means of a rotary switch. The setting of the heating programme and all the required parameters is carried out from the operating console. All heating circuit connections (sensors and pumps) are made directly on the mixer module using a ProE plug. For assembly of the VR 60 mixer module, see its enclosed installation instructions. Regarding installation see Chapter 6.9.2. 5 Filling the heating and heat source systems The heating circuit and the brine circuit (VWS only) must be filled before the heat pump can be put into operation. h 5.1 Note! The heat pump cladding sections are only fitted after the filling and subsequent bleeding of the heating circuit. Filling the heating circuit a Caution! Malfunction! Fill the heating circuit via the integrated filling and draining valve, so that the heating circuit is completely bled. If there is a DHW cylinder connected, make sure that the 3-way valve is in the centre position. • If there is a DHW cylinder connected, set the 3-way valve (see Fig. 2.6, Item 16) to the centre position. • Open all the thermostatic valves in the heating system. • Connect a filling hose to a water tap. • Attach the free end of the filling hose to the filling valve (see Fig. 2.6, Item 8). • Open the filling valve. • Turn the water tap on slowly and fill with water until the pressure gauge indicates a system pressure of approx. 1.5 bar. • Close the filling valve and detach the hose. • Bleed the system again at the points provided. • Re-check the water pressure in the system (repeat the filling process if necessary). 21 5 Filling the heating and heat source systems 5.2 Filling the brine circuit (VWS only) The brine fluid consists of water mixed with a heat transfer fluid concentrate. As an additive we recommend propylene glycol (alternative: ethylene glycol) with corrosion-inhibiting additives. A DN 40 collector hose has a capacity of approx. 1 litre per continuous metre. The brine fluids that may be used differ greatly from region to region. Please find out about this from the authorities responsible. Vaillant only approves of operating the heat pump with the following brine media: – max. 30 % ethylene glycol/water – max. 33 % propylene glycol/water – potassium carbonate/water – max. 60 % ethanol/water 60 Heat source to the heat pump 59 67 61 Heat source from the heat pump 57 62 64 58 65 29 66 Fig. 5.1 Brine circuit Key 29 57 58 59 60 61 62 64 65 66 67 22 to Fig. 5.1 Brine pump Stop valve Bleed valve Brine expansion tank Expansion relief valve Stop valve Stop valve Stop valve Brine collecting tank Brine reservoir Filling pump a Caution! Environmental hazard! Leakage of brine media must not result in any contamination of the ground water or the soil. Substances must be selected that are non-toxic and biologically degradable. h Note! Only fit the heat pump cladding sections after the filling and subsequent bleeding of the heating circuit. Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Filling the heating and heat source systems 5 To fill the brine circuit, proceed as follows: • Mix the antifreeze used by Vaillant in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, 1.2 % propylene glycol, with water in the proportion 1 : 2. This offers frost protection down to -15 °C. • Mix water and antifreeze to the specified concentration in an external container (e.g. plastic canister, see Fig. 6.1, Item. 66). Every batch of the mixture must be carefully blended. • Check the mixing proportions of the brine fluid. Vaillant recommends the use of a refractometer for this purpose. • Then fill the brine mixture from the container (66) into the heat source system. This will require a filling pump (67) that simultaneously bleeds the collector circuit as it fills it. Vaillant recommends the Vaillant filling pump (Art.No. 307 093). Connect the pressure line on the pump to stop valve (62). • Close stop valve (57). • Open stop valves (62) and (64). • Open stop valve (61) and connect a hose to it, with the other end of the hose draining into the glycol mixture. • Start the filling pump (67) in order to fill the collector hose. • Allow the filling pump (67) to run until fluid free of air emerges from the hose connected to stop valve (61). • Now open valve (57) so that the air between valves (61) and (62) can escape. • Close valve (61) and pressurise the brine circuit using the filling pump (67). Take care that the pressure does not exceed 3 bar. • Now close valve (62) as well. • Switch off the filling pump (67) and remove the filling hose. • Open the expansion relief valve (60) to allow any possible overpressure to discharge. The brine expansion tank must be 2/3 full of fluid. Make sure that valve (61) is closed. • Fill any remaining brine fluid into a suitable container (e.g. plastic canister) for topping up later and hand it over to the user for safekeeping. Further bleeding is carried out after the cladding sections have been fitted and the heat pump has been started (see Chap. 7.4). Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Check the filling level of the brine fluid a Caution! Risk of damage! The filling level is correct when the brine expansion tank is 2/3 full. The installation can be damaged if the filling level is too high. • Top up the brine fluid when the filling level has fallen so low that it is no longer visible in the expansion tank. 1 2 Fig. 5.2 Filling level of the brine expansion tank Key to Fig. 5.2 1 Filling level too low 2 Filling level correct The filling level of the brine fluid can fall a little in the first month following commissioning of the system; this is quite normal. The filling level can also vary depending on the temperature of the heat source, but under no circumstances should it fall so far that it is no longer visible in the expansion tank. 5.3 Well system (VWW only) When using water as the heat source, it is not necessary to fill the heat source system as it is an open system. 23 6 Electrical installation 6 6.1 Electrical installation Safety and installation information e Danger! Risk of electric shock! Always switch off the power supply before carrying out any electrical installation work. Make sure that it is secured against inadvertent switching on again. a Caution! Risk of damage! The electrical connection must be equipped with a customer-supplied isolation device having a contact separation of at least 3 mm on all lines (e.g. a line protection switch). It makes sense to fit this isolation device in the immediate vicinity of the heat pump. a Caution! Risk of damage! The electrical installation may only be undertaken by an authorised engineer. a Caution! Risk of short circuits! When connecting conductors carrying 230 V to the ProE plug, do not strip the insulation back by more than 30 mm for safety reasons. If you strip back by more than this, there is a risk of short circuits to the PCB if the conductors are not correctly attached in the plug. a Caution! Risk of malfunction! The lines for the outside temperature sensor and the room thermostat carry small, weak currents. Interference from the environment can have an effect on the sensor lines and transmit incorrect information to the heat pump controller, and for this reason the sensor lines must be run absolutely correctly. Low current lines must be run at an adequate distance from high current lines. If low and high current lines are run in parallel, a minimum distance of 25 cm applies for lengths greater than 10 m. Furthermore, take note: – For power, connect the heat pump to a 400 V threephase mains supply with one neutral and one earth conductor. Fuse this connection as specified in the technical data. – Install the heat pump with a fixed mains connection. – The required conductor cross sections must be determined by a qualified technician, using the values specified in the technical data for the maximum rated output. In any case, take into account the on-site installation conditions. – If the local power company stipulates that the heat pump should be controlled by a blocking signal, fit an appropriate contact switch, as specified by the power company, and connect it to the heat pump with a twocore cable. 6.2 Regulations pertaining to electrical installations The maximum sensor cable length of 50 m may not be exceeded. Where lengths are greater than 10m, route the connection cables carrying 230 V/400 V separately from the sensor or bus cables. Do not use free terminals on the appliance as support terminals for other wiring. At start-up, the controller automatically checks for the correct phase sequence. Switch two phases over if there is an error message. 24 Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Electrical installation 6 6.3 Electrical control box 1 6 2 5 3 4 Fig. 6.1 Electrical control box Key to Fig. 6.1 1 Controller PCB (under the cover plate) with connection strip for sensors and external components 2 Cable clamps 3 Start-up current limiter PCB (accessory), lower level of control box 4 Safety thermostat (STL) for the auxiliary heating 5 Contactors for the auxiliary heating element and compressor, for the VWW only: Well pump contactor with motor protection switch 6 Power supply connection terminals The exact allocation of the connection terminals (6) can be found in Chap. 6.4.

Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Electrical installation 6 6.7 Wiring the controller PCB The controller has an automatic sensor recognition function. You must configure the connected heating circuits in accordance with the system combination. In the following you will find various options for operating the heat pump. 6.7.1 Connecting the VR 10 standard sensor Additional sensors are required as flow, return, collector or cylinder sensors, depending on the configuration of the system. The VR 10 standard sensor is so designed that it can be used as an immersion sensor, e.g. as a cylinder sensor in a cylinder sensor tube, or as a flow sensor in a hydraulic switch. Using the enclosed cable tie you can also attach it as a contact sensor to the heating flow or return pipes. We recommend that the pipe together with the sensor be insulated to ensure optimum temperature measurement.

Interchanging the cables does not lead to any impairment in communication. Connecting the DCF receiver AF 0 DCF AF 0 DCF Fig. 6.12 Connecting the VRC DCF receiver • Wire the DCF receiver as shown in Fig. 6.12: – left: enclosed external sensor (DCF receiver) – right: alternative solution with separate external sensor A special solution with a separate VRC 693 outdoor sensor is necessary if, e.g., no radio reception is available at the location of the outdoor sensor. 6.9 Connecting accessories a Caution! Risk of damage! Switch off the power before connecting additional units to the eBUS. You can connect the following accessories: – Up to six VR 60 mixer modules to expand the system by system circuits (factory pre-set as mixer circuits). – Up to eight VR 90 remote control units to control the first eight heating circuits. – vrnetDIALOG 840/2 or 860/2 – Connection in each case to the eBUS terminal (Fig. 6.6, Item 11), connected in parallel. 6.9.1 Installing the VR 90 remote control unit The VR 90 remote control units communicate with the heating controller via the eBus. You can connect them to any interface in the system. You need only make sure that the bus interfaces are connected to the heat pump controller. 36 Fig. 6.13 Connecting remote control devices All eBus connector plugs are designed to allow you to wire at least 2 x 0.75 mm2 per pigtail. The use of cable with a cross-section of 2 x 0.75 mm2 is therefore recommended for eBUS cables. Setting the bus address In order to ensure perfect communication between all components it is necessary to provide the remote control unit with an address that matches the heating circuit to be controlled. • Set the bus address on the first additional VR 90 remote control unit to "2". • Set different, sequential bus addresses for any further remote control units. Take note of the VR 90 installation manual. 2 Fig. 6.14 Setting the bus address Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Electrical installation 6 6.9.2 Connecting further mixer circuits Like the VR 90 remote control units, the VR 60 mixer modules also communicate with the heating controller via the eBUS. When installing, observe the same procedure as for connecting the remote control units (see Chap. 6.9.1). The configuration of the system can be seen in Fig. 6.15.

The brine pump now alternates between 50 minutes operation and 10 minutes standstill. Check whether the fluid level in the brine expansion tank has stabilised. • Let the brine pump continue to run, so that the air trapped in the system can be collected in the expansion tank. The level of the fluid in the expansion tank falls as a result of the discharge of air and must be topped up again as described in Chap. 5.2. • Open the expansion relief valve to allow any possible overpressure to discharge. The tank must be filled to 2/3 full with fluid. 7.5 Bleeding the heating circuit • If manual switching of the heating circuit pump and the 3-way valve is necessary to bleed the heating circuit, perform this via Menu A5/A6 (see Table 8.4). 7.6 Handing the system over to the operator • Instruct the operator of the system in the handling and function of all the equipment. • Hand over all the instruction manuals and documents for the appliance to the operator for safe keeping. • Tell the operator to keep the manuals nearby the controller.

A complete description of the displays (Menus A1 to A9) for the initial commissioning can be found in Table 8.4 • Make all the necessary settings and continue with the Installation Assistant to the end. Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 43 8 Controller 8 Controller To operate the heat pump economically, it is important to match the control system to the customer's heating system and to the pattern of use. In the following chapter, all the functions of the weather-controlled energy balance controller will be explained. 8.1 Operating modes and functions There are five operating modes available for the heating circuit: – Auto: the operation of the heating circuit alternates between the "Heating" and "Energy saving" modes in accordance with a preset timer programme. – Eco: the operation of the heating circuit alternates between the "Heating" and "Off" modes in accordance with a preset timer programme. The heating circuit is switched off during the set-back period provided the frost protection function (which depends on the outside temperature) is not activated. – Energy saving: the heating circuit is operated at the set-back temperature independently of any preset timer programme. – Heating: the heating circuit is operated at the flow temperature setpoint independently of any preset timer programme. – Off: the heating circuit is out of operation, provided that the frost protection function (which depends on the external temperature) is not activated. The "Auto", "On and "Off" operating modes are available for connected domestic hot water cylinders: – Auto: the commands for recharging the cylinder or enabling the circulating pump are given according to a preset timer programme. – On: recharging is constantly enabled, i.e. the cylinder is immediately re-heated when needed, and the circulating pump is constantly in operation. – Off: the cylinder is not heated and the circulation pump is not in operation. Only when the storage tank temperature falls below 10 °C is the storage tank reheated to 15 °C for frost protection reasons. 8.2 Automatic auxiliary functions Frost protection The controller is equipped with a frost protection function. This function ensures that the heating system is protected from frost in all operating modes. The set-back temperature is pre-set automatically for each heating circuit if the outside temperature falls below 3 °C. ed to 15 °C. This function is also active in the "Off" and "Auto" operating modes, regardless of the timer programmes. Checking the external sensors The necessary sensors are configured using the basic hydraulic circuit that you specified during the initial commissioning. The heat pump constantly checks automatically that all sensors are installed and functioning. Protection from loss of heating water An analogue pressure sensor monitors for any potential loss of water and switches the heat pump off if the water pressure is below 0.5 bar gauge pressure, and on again when the water pressure is above 0.7 bar gauge pressure. Pump blocking and valve blocking protection To prevent the heating, circulation or brine pumps, or the hot water diverter valve UV1, from seizing, those pumps and the valve that have not been in operation for the last 24 hours are turned on in sequence for approximately 20 seconds every day. Protection against loss of brine (VWS only) An analogue pressure sensor monitors for any loss of brine and switches the brine pump off if the brine pressure falls even once below 0.2 bar gauge pressure and Error 91 is displayed in the error memory. The heat pump switches on again when the brine pressure rises above 0.4 bar gauge pressure. A warning message appears in Menu 1 if the brine pressure falls below 0.6 bar gauge pressure for longer than one minute. Floor protection switching for all hydraulic systems without a buffer cylinder (e.g. for Hydraulic Plans 1 and 3) If the heating flow temperature in the underfloor heating circuit measured by sensor VF2 continuously exceeds a value of (max. HK temp. + compressor hysteresis + 2 K, default setting: 52 °C) for longer than 15 Minuten, the heat pump switches off with error message F.72 (see Chap. 10.6). The heat pump switches on again when the flow temperature has fallen below this value and the error has been reset. The maximum heating flow temperature can be changed via vrDIALOG with the "Maximum heating circuit temperature" parameter. a Caution! Risk of damage to the floor. Only set the value for the floor protection circuit high enough that heated floors are not damaged by excessively high temperatures. Cylinder frost protection This function starts automatically if the current DHW temperature falls below 10 °C. The cylinder is then heat- 44 Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Controller 8 Phase monitoring The sequence and presence of the phases (clockwise rotating field) of the 400 V supply are checked at the initial commissioning and continuously checked during operation. If the sequence is not correct or if one phase drops out, a fault-induced shutdown of the heat pump takes place to prevent damage to the compressor. Freezing protection function The outlet temperature of the heat source is measured continuously. If the heat source outlet temperature falls below a defined value, the compressor switches off temporarily with error message 20 or 21 (see Chap. 10.4). If these errors appear three times in succession, a fault-induced shutdown takes place (see Chap. 10.5). You can set the value (default setting - 10 °C) for the freezing protection for geoTHERM VWS heat pumps in Installation Assistant A4. A value of + 4 °C is factory set for geoTHERM VWW heat pumps. This value cannot be changed. 8.3 Settable auxiliary functions You can set the following auxiliary functions from the controller yourself and thus adapt the system to local circumstances or the operator's wishes. h 8.3.1 Note: Operation of the controller is sub-divided into three levels: - Operator level -> for the operator - Code level -> for the expert technician - vrDIALOG -> for the expert technician Auxiliary functions in the Operator Level: Time programme You can set the heating times for each heating circuit. You can store up to three heating periods per day or per block (Block = Mon - Fri or Mon - Sun or Sat - Sun). See Table 8.3, Menu 3 "Timer programs". Holiday programming You can programme two holiday periods with date entry. You can additionally define the set-back temperature to which the system should be regulated during the period of absence. See Table 8.3, Menu 4 "Holiday programming". Party function The party function permits you to extend the current heating and hot water periods beyond the next switchoff time, to the start of the next heating period. See Chap. 8.9. Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Energy-saving function This function allows you to set back the heating for an adjustable period of time. See Chap. 8.9. Cooling Cooling mode is only possible when using the VWZ NC 14/17 accessory, and only for VWS 14 and VWS 17 heat pumps. More detailed information about this can be found in the installation manual for the VWZ NC 14/17 accessory. 8.3.2 Auxiliary functions in the Code Level: Floor drying You can dry out a freshly laid screed floor using this function in accordance with Table 8.1. The flow temperature corresponds to a routine stored in the controller and is independent of the outside temperature. All the selected operating modes are interrupted when this function is activated. See Table 8.4, Menu C6. Day after starting the function Starting temperature 1 2 3 4 5 – 12 13 14 15 16 17 – 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Target flow temperature for this day 25 °C 25 °C 30 °C 35 °C 40 °C 45 °C 40 °C 35 °C 30 °C 25 °C 10 °C (frost protection function, pump in operation) 30 °C 35 °C 40 °C 45 °C 35 °C 25 °C Table 8.1 Progress of the screed floor drying The operating mode is displayed together with the current day and the target flow temperature. The current day can be set manually. If the brine circuit is not yet finished, the drying of the screed floor can be accomplished by means of the auxiliary heating. In order that the drying of the screed floor can take place by means of the auxiliary heating, select the value "ZH only" for the "Heating mode" parameter in Menu C7, "Auxiliary heating". a Caution! Overloading of the heat source! If too much energy is extracted from the heat source while drying out a floor (e.g. in the winter months), the source can be overloaded and its regeneration impaired. 45 8 Controller When the function is started, the current time of the start is saved. The day is changed exactly at this time. After network-off/-on, the floor-drying begins as follows: Last day before mains off 1 - 15 16 17 - 23 24 - 28 29 Start after mains on 1 16 17 24 29 Table 8.2 Progress of the screed floor drying following mains off/on If you do not wish to carry out the drying with the specified temperatures and/or times, you can specify variable flow temperature setpoints by means of fixed value controlling (see following section). When doing this, take note of the applicable compressor hysteresis (settable via vrDIALOG, see Chap. 8.10). Legionella protect The purpose of the "Legionella protect" function is to kill off germs in the DHW tank and in the pipes. Once a week, the domestic hot water cylinder is raised to a temperature of approx. 70 °C. The expert technician activates the "Legionella protect" function in the Code level and there can set a starting time and a starting day (weekday) on which the heating is to take place (see Table 8.4, Menu C9). Remote parameter setting/alerting/diagnostics It is possible to diagnose and adjust the heat pump by remote commands via vrDIALOG 810/2 or vrnetDIALOG 840/2 or 860/2. You will find more detailed information on this in the respective manuals. 8.3.3 Auxiliary functions via vrDIALOG: Using its computer-supported graphics visualisation and configuration, vrDIALOG 810/2 (eBUS) enables you to optimise heating appliances and control systems and thus make use of their energy saving potential. Both of them enable you to create a visual impression of the processes in your control system and influence them at any time. The programmes enable you to record and graphically prepare system data, to load device configurations and change and save them online and to save information in the form of reports. Using vrDIALOG 810/2, you can make all the settings for the heat pump as well as other settings for optimisation. See Chap. 8.10. Acceleration mode This operating mode simplifies the diagnosis of heat pump functions by speeding up the energy balancing in hydraulic plan 1 or 3 by a factor of 60. It is used as a test function. See Chap. 8.10. 46 Fixed value controlling Using this function you can set, via vrDIALOG, a fixed flow temperature independently of the weather-controlled control system. See Chap. 8.10. 8.4 Description of the controller 8.4.1 Possible system circuits The controller can control the following system circuits: – one heating circuit, – one indirectly heated hot water cylinder, – one hot water circulation pump, – one buffer circuit. To expand the system, you can, with the aid of a buffer circuit, connect up to six additional VR 60 mixer circuit modules (accessories), each with two mixer circuits. The mixer circuits are programmed via the controller in the heat pump operating console. For convenient operation, you can connect the VR 90 remote control unit for the first eight heating circuits (see Chap. 4.13). 8.4.2 Energy balance control Energy balance control is applicable only to hydraulic systems without buffer cylinders (e.g. Hydraulic Plans 1 and 3). For economical and fault-free operation of a heat pump, it is important to regiment the starting of the compressor. The start-up of the compressor is the point at which the highest loading occurs. Using the energy balance controller it is possible to minimise the number of heat pump start-ups without having to forgo the convenience of a comfortable room environment. As with other weather-controlled heating controllers, the controller first measures the outside temperature and then determines a flow temperature setpoint by means of a heating curve. The energy balance calculation is made on the basis of this flow temperature setpoint and the current temperature in the heating circuit - the difference per minute is measured and totalised: 1 degree minute [°min] = 1 K temperature difference in the course of 1 minute The heat pump starts up at a defined heat deficit (selectable on the controller, see Menu C4) and only switches off again when the supplied heat is equal to the heat deficit. The larger the preset negative numerical value is, the longer the periods for which the compressor is kept running or at standstill. Installation instructions geoTHERM VWS/VWW 0020057444_01 Controller 8 8.4.3 Buffer cylinder charging principle The buffer cylinder is controlled depending on the setpoint flow temperature. The heat pump heats when the temperature measured by the sensor at the top of the buffer cylinder, VF1, is lower than the setpoint temperature. It heats until the temperature measured by the sensor at the base of the buffer cylinder, RF1, has reached the setpoint temperature plus 2 K. With reference to heating the DHW cylinder, the buffer cylinder is likewise heated when the temperature of the sensor at the top of the cylinder, VF1, is less than 2 K above the setpoint temperature (early reheating): VF1 < T VL setpoint + 2 K. In Menus A1 to A9 you are guided through the installation menu during the initial commissioning of the heat pump. Furthermore it is possible to display and select special functions, such as the energy saving function. To do this, press the dial once , twice, or three times, starting from the top-level display (see Fig. 8.1). The third level contains functions for optimising the system and can only be set by a specialist using vrDIALOG 810/2 (see Chap. 8.10). 8.4.4 Resetting to factory settings a Caution! Inadvertent deletion of specific settings! When you reset the control system to the default settings, specific system settings can be deleted and the system can sut down. The system cannot be damaged. • Press both dials simultaneously for at least 5 seconds in the top-level display of the graphics display. After that you can select whether to reset only the timer programs, or all values, to the default settings. 8.4.5 Controller organisation The top level display is a graphics display. It is the starting point for all the available screens. This display reappears automatically if you do not actuate any of the dials for a long time when setting values. In the following illustrations you can see all the controller screens in an overview in the form of a flow chart. You will find descriptions of the individual screens in the sections that follow them. Controller operation is subdivided into three levels: The Operator level is intended for the operator. The Code level (Menus C1 - C9, D1 - D5, I1 - I5 and A1 - A9) is reserved for the specialist and is protected against unintentional adjustments by means of a code input. The following parameters can be displayed in the individual menus, but the values cannot be changed if no password is entered, i. e. access to the code level is disabled. In Menus C1 to C9 you can set parameters for the various functions of the heat pump for the heating circuit. In Menus D1 to D5 you can operate and test the heat pump in diagnostic mode. In Menus I1 to I5 you can obtain general information regarding the settings for the heat pump.

However an annual inspection of the system by a specialist is a prerequisite for continuing operational safety, reliability and a long working life. d Danger! Inspection and repairs may be carried out only by an approved heating installation company. Inspections / Maintenance work not carried out can result in damage to property and personal injury. e Danger! Risk of fatal electric shock from touching live connections! Before commencing work on the heat pump, disconnect the power supply (circuit breaker) and secure it against being switched on again inadvertently. Only genuine Vaillant replacement parts may be used for maintenance work, to ensure the long-term working order of all functions of your Vaillant appliance and to prevent changes to the approved production standard. Any spare parts which might be required are listed in the relevant current spare parts catalogues. Information can be obtained from Vaillant Customer Service Centres. 9.2 Inspection work to be performed The heat pump is engineered in such a way that only a few inspection tasks need to be carried out: VWS: – Manually actuate the safety assemblies in the brine and heating circuits at regular intervals. – Check the dirt filter in the brine circuit regularly. – Check the pressures in the brine and heating circuits regularly. VWW: – Manually actuate the safety assemblies in the heating circuit at regular intervals. – Check the dirt filter in the water circuit regularly. – Check the pressure in the heating circuit regularly. • Remove the heat pump cladding sections in the reverse order to that described in Chap. 6.4. 9.4 Test operation and restarting d Danger! Risk of injury! The heat pump may only be put into operation again after all the cladding sections have been fitted. • Fit all the heat pump cladding sections as described in Chap. 6.4. • Start up the heat pump. • Check the heat pump for correct functioning. 10 Troubleshooting and diagnostics d Danger! Troubleshooting and diagnostics measures may only be carried out by a recognised expert technician company. e Danger! Risk of fatal electric shock from touching live connections! Before commencing work on the heat pump, disconnect the power supply (circuit breaker) and secure it against being switched on again inadvertently. 10.1 Error messages on the controller Error messages appear on the display approximately 20 seconds after the error has occurred and are written to the controller's error memory if the error is present for approximately 3 minutes.

Table 10.4 Fault-induced shutdown (cont.) 10.6 Other errors/malfunctions Fault indication The auxiliary heating does not function, even though it has been enabled by the controller (e.g. when the supply has been blocked by the power supply company (Power company blockage)); the heating or the domestic hot water cylinder do not reach the desired temperature. Noises in the heating circuit. Traces of water beneath or next to the appliance. Possible cause The auxiliary heating is tied to a low-rate tariff which has been blocked by the power company. Remedy Check whether the auxiliary heating is on a low-rate tariff and a power company blockage is in effect. The safety thermostat (STB) on the auxiliary heating has tripped. Possible causes if the thermostat trips again: Air in the heating system. Blocked dirt filters in the heating system return line. The heating circulation pump has stopped or is running too slowly. Air in the heating circuit. Dirt in the heating circuit. "Out T. aux htr on" incorrectly set. Pump defective. Release the STB by pushing the button. The condensate drain is blocked.
