1.4.5.4 “Priority Heating” function

Objective: to keep the pool water at the required temperature, independent of the filtering time (the heat pump triggers the operation of the filter every hour):

- the pool temperature > required temperature = the heat pump stops the filter system after 5 minutes.

- the pool temperature < required temperature = the heat pump switches on and keeps the filter pump running until the correct temperature is attained.

6

Main advantages offered by this function:

- a guarantee that the heat pump operates long enough to attain the required temperature, in particular during initial warm-up periods (no longer necessary to manually switch on the filter system

24h/24).

- constant control and monitoring of the pool heating requirements, even when the filter system has been switched off by the timer.

Connection of the “priority heating” function: to use terminals 16 and 17 to come to control the pump of filtration using the dry contact (I max. = 5 has under 230Vac with circuit of class AC1 and I max. = 1,2A under 230Vac with circuit of class AC3), see diagram hereafter.

The cable used for priority heating and the electrical power supply cable must be strapped together inside the unit until just after the stuffing box.

The minimum wire gauge for connection of the priority heating function is: 2x1.5 mm², of type RO2V or equivalent in countries outside the European Community, and with an outer diameter between 8 and 13 mm.

Remove the plug (upper the cable gland) and fit the cable gland for passage of the cable into the unit.

Once the cable is inserted in this stuffing box, block it by pulling lightly on the cable to retract it one centimeter.

1.5 Starting up

1.5.1 Presentation of the regulation

: controller “on” indicator

: “on/off” or stand-by

: display required water temperature or setting

: setting values

: priority heating output enabled indicator

: compressor “on” (steady) or timed (blinking) indicator

: defrost in progress (steady) or timed (blinking) indicator

1.5.2 Checks before operating the appliance

 the hydraulic connections are tight,

 the unit is stable (as well as level and upright),

 all cables are secure and all terminal connections are correct,

 the electrical supply and priority heating cables are not exposed to sharp or hot elements which could damage them, both inside and outside the unit,

 the unit is connected to earth (green/yellow conductor),

 not tools or other objects have been left inside the unit,

 the side panel providing access to the technical section is in place.

Incorrectly tightened terminals may cause overheating of the electrical terminal rail, and causes the annulment of the warranty.

1.5.3 Starting the appliance

 recommendations to attain the required temperature:

- protect the pool with a cover (blister cover, roller cover …),

Strongly recommended to avoid heat loss.

- switch the filter system to “manual” mode, 24h/24 (unless priority heating is connected),

Take advantage of periods when the outside temperature is mild (> on average 10 °C) in order to facilitate the temperature increase (this can take several days, and its duration is variable depending on the weather conditions and size of the heat pump). The task of the heat pump is to extract the heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the pool water. The higher the air temperature, the more heat the heat pump will be able to transfer to the pool water.

Putting the setpoint on maximum will not heat the water any faster.

 the by-pass valves and regulation valves (see §1.4.4) must be positioned as follows:

- valve 1 completely open,

- valves 2-3-4-5 closed.

 switch on the filter system,

 progressively close valve 1 in order to increase the filter pressure to 150 g (0.150 bar),

 open valves 2, 3 and 4 completely, then half open valve 5 (see §1.4.4) (the air accumulated in the heat pump condenser unit and in the filter circuit is then evacuated),

If valves 4 and 5 are not present, open valve 2 completely and half close valve 3.

8

 switch on the electrical supply to the heat pump,

When the regulator is first switched on, the following information messages appear: “REXX” then “MAPX”.

 if the heat pump is in stand-by:

, press 3 seconds on seconds and then the water temperature is displayed.

, appears for 5

 set the temperature to the value required (= set point) with the buttons + or + )

=> If the pool requires heating, the indicator blinks for 2 to 3 minutes then remains on and the heat pump compressor + fan start up at the same time.

 during the first 5 minutes of compressor and fan operation, the 3 coloured bars located left of the display blink , then only one bar remains on. This indicates whether the water flow-rate through the heat pump is: too low (red bar), correct (green bar) or too high

(red bar).

 if the regulator detects that the flow-rate is too low or too high, valve 5 (or 3 if 5 is not present) must be adjusted until the green middle bar lights up.

During this adjustment phase, wait 30 seconds after each valve position change as the regulator response time is not instantaneous.

Once the pool has attained the required temperature, the heat pump switches off automatically (indicators and off)

 in case of mains power failure, when the power supply is restored, the heat pump starts up after a time period of 2 minutes.

 when the ambient temperature is between 5 and 12 °C, the heat pump may start a defrost cycle

(indicators and on). In this case, the compressor stops but the fan keeps running in order to defrost the evaporator with the ambient air. Once the end of defrost cycle has been detected, The compressor and fan restart after a time period of 2 to 5 minutes (varies according to the compressor stoppage time).

1.5.4 Checking

The heat pump must switch off when filtering is stopped or valve 2 (or 4 if present) is closed.

1.5.5 Overwintering

Wintering is essential, on pain of the condenser freezing, and this case is not covered by the warranty.

 switch the regulator to “stand-by” mode by pressing and holding for 3 seconds on

, then appears on the screen for 5 seconds before a small red dot appears ,

If the indicator is on, it will remain on for 2 minutes before switching off.

With the priority heating function connected, the filter remains on for 2 minutes, after switching the heat pump to “stand-by” (outside the programmed filter periods).

If a heat pump defrost cycle is in progress: the fan remains on until the end of this cycle.

 open the valve 1,

 close valves 2 and 3, and open valves 4 and 5 (if present),

 ensure that no water is flowing through the heat pump,

 drain the water condenser (risk of freezing) by removing the two pool water inlet and outlet connections at the back of the heat pump,

 in the case of a full winterizing of the pool: connect the inlet and outlet connections "lightly" without tightening (one turn) in order to avoid foreign bodies entering into the condenser,

 in the case of winterizing the heat pump alone: do not reconnect the inlet and outlet connectors, instead place two stops (supplied) on the condenser water inlet and outlet.

 cover the heat pump with a micro-breathing overwintering cover (optional accessory, see §3.2).

To avoid damaging the appliance with condensation, do not cover it hermetically.

7. Additional recommendations

In relation with the Pressurised Equipment Directive (PED-97/23/CE)

7.1 Installation and maintenance

 before beginning any installation, commissioning, operation or maintenance work, the persons responsible for these tasks must have read and understood all instructions and recommendations contained in the unit installation instructions as well as in the project technical file.

14

 the person responsible for final acceptance of the unit must carry out a visual inspection to detect any damage the unit may have suffered during transport: refrigeration circuit, electrical enclosure, frame and casing.

 the unit may not be installed close to:

- a heat source,

- combustible materials,

- the air duct inlet of an adjacent building.

 for certain appliances, it is essential to fit protection grids if the unit is installed in an area which is unprotected and easily accessible.

 the appliance may only be installed, commissioned, serviced and repaired by properly qualified persons in accordance with directives, laws, valid regulations and acceptable professional practice.

 during installation, repair and maintenance work, it is strictly prohibited to step on pipes and hoses as these could break and the escaping refrigerant could cause serious scalding.

 when servicing the appliance, the composition and state of heat carrying fluid must be checked, as well as the absence of any refrigerant.

 during the annual unit sealing test in accordance with valid legislation, the high and low pressure switches must be checked to ensure they are securely fastened to the refrigeration circuit and that they shut-off the electrical circuit when tripped.

 during maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around refrigeration components.

 before beginning work on the refrigeration circuit, isolate the appliance and wait several minutes before removing the temperature or pressure sensors. Certain elements such as the compressor and associated piping may attain temperatures in excess of 100°C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe scalding.

7.2 Repair

 all work on the refrigeration circuit must be carried out with total respect of valid safety regulations and acceptable professional practice: recuperation of refrigerant, nitrogen brazing, etc…

 all brazing work must be carried out by a qualified brazer/welder,

 in the case of units filled with R410A, refer to the specific indications in the installation instructions.

 this unit contains pressurized components, some of which may be manufactured by ZPCE, this is the case of piping elements. Only use the original spare parts indicated in the spare parts list to replace a defective refrigeration component

 replacement pipes must always be made of copper in compliance with standard NF EN 12735-1.

 leak detection, pressure test:

- never use oxygen or dry air, risk of fire or explosion,

- use dry nitrogen or the mixture of nitrogen and refrigerant indicated on the name plate,

- the test pressure for both the high and low pressure circuits must not exceed 42 bar.

 the high pressure circuit pipes are made of copper and have a diameter equal to or greater than

1’’5/8. A certificate as indicated in §2.1 in compliance with standard NF EN 10204 will be requested from the supplier and filed in the installation technical documentation.

 the use of non-original spare parts, modifications to the refrigeration circuit, replacement of the refrigerant with a refrigerant type other than that indicated on the name plate, use of the appliance under conditions outside the application limits indicated in the associated documentation will result in a cancellation of the EC label and PED conformity and the person who carried out these modifications will be sole responsible for the consequences.

 the technical data relative to the safety requirements of the various applicable directives must be indicated on the name plate. This data must be recorded in the unit installation instructions

which are included in the installation technical file:

- model – code – serial number,

- maximum and minimum OT,

- OP,

- year of manufacture,

- EC label,

- manufacturer’s address,

- refrigerant and weight,

- electrical parameters,

- thermo-dynamic and acoustic performance

As part of our continuous improvement policy our products may be subject to change without notice.
