Introduction
The Ecodan air source heat pump extracts thermal energy from the outside air and transfers this into a property in the form of hot water as a conventional heating system does. The Ecodan will provide space heating (through radiators or under floor heating) and domestic hot water (taps, showers, etc). Domestic hot water always takes priority over space heating.
The Ecodan Aerocyl Plus-me package is controlled by conventional heating system control equipment. A two channel time clock for ON and OFF periods, a cylinder thermostat for domestic hot water temperature and a room thermostat for space temperature.
To optimise running costs it is advisable the homeowners seek the cheapest possible electricity tariff.
An internet search facility like www.uswitch.com will be able to help.
The homeowner will need to control the Ecodan Aerocyl Plus-me differently to a conventional gas boiler.
The use of controls is paramount in achieving low running costs. Although electricity prices are higher than gas or oil, the efficiency of the system means that it requires less energy to supply the same heating demands, thus producing cheaper energy bills. Compared to regular electricity bills it will look higher than usual, but the homeowner should be aware that this bill incorporates heating that is usually achieved though gas or oil.
Please note that heat pumps provide lower flow temperatures to radiators than a conventional gas boiler.
Rather than the radiators turning on/off locally as with a gas boiler, heat pumps provide a more consistent lower flow temperature which allows for more efficiency and greater comfort.
Warnings
• Don’t allow anyone to interfere with the outdoor unit.
• Don’t push any object through the grille area, there is a fast turning fan which could be damaged.
• Don’t place objects too close to the outdoor unit.
• Don’t ever cover the outdoor unit, air needs to circulate freely around the unit.
• Do be aware that ice may form in the winter period on the ground close to the outdoor unit.
Please take particular care.
• Do ensure your installer includes anti-freeze (Alphi-11 or similar), 25% concentration into the heating circuit to prevent icing in the winter.
• Do complete your guarantee registration card and return to the manufacturer. If you do not complete and return the registration card the product will only be under guarantee for 12 months.
• Do take the installers contact details in case you need attention in the future.

Ecodan
This will be located outdoors (most likely to be in the garden) facing away from the property. The air is sucked into the back and used to heat the refrigerant that is sealed within the unit.
Cold air will be expelled from the front of the unit when the
Ecodan is operating. The homeowner does not need to make any adjustments to this element of the system.
Always ensure the front and back are clear of obstructions.

The homeowner should know:
How to switch on power to the
Ecodan Aerocyl Plus-me
This will be located inside the property near the mains power switch, it needs to be switched on.
The outdoor unit does not needed to be touched.
How to switch off power to the
Ecodan Aerocyl Plus-me
This will be located inside the property near the mains power switch, it needs to be switched off.
If the homeowner is away from the property for several days only switch off the indoor switch.
The outdoor unit does not need to be touched, do not switc h off at any time.
How to set the radiator temperature
Thermostatic radiator valves control the temperature of the radiator by a built-in sensor, which automatically opens and closes the flow of water into the radiator, maintaining the room at the pre-set temperature.
A manual valve can only control the temperature of the radiator regardless of the room temperature.
If you r property has thermostatic radiator valves, it is recommended that they are fully opened in occupied rooms. The Ecodan works by varying the flow temperatures to radiators depending on room thermostat and outside temperature.
How to set indoor temperature
The room thermostat is needed to set the indoor temperature. Refer to pages 7-8 for user instructions.
How to set the timer
The 2 channel time clock is needed to switch heating and hot water on/off. Refer to pages
9,10 and 11 for user instructions.
How to switch to constant use
Constant running dictated by the 2 channel time clock as this controls on/off periods.
Refer to pages 7-8 for user instructions.
Time clock pattern setup
Each channel on the time clock should be programmed to meet the demands of the home occupier in the most efficient way. Hot water will take priority over heating.
For example:
If a homeowner wakes up in the morning and wants a shower at 7am and the property takes an hour to raise to the required room temperature then both channels should be set to 5am, as the vessel will take approximately one hour to achieve temperature before switching to space heating.
Some electricity tariffs have cheaper off-peak tariffs
(early hours of the morning) that can be used for heat-up times. Always check your electricity tariff by using www.uswitch.com.
If the homeowner does not require hot water again until later in the evening then the time clock should be programmed to heat up approximately one hour prior. This is the most efficient pattern to use rather than maintaining a high storage temperature constantly.
During cold periods the Ecodan will switch into a defrost mode occasionally. At this point the Ecodan will stop producing hot water for inside the dwelling.
It will only be for a few minutes and will not cause radiators or under-floor heating to suddenly stop, nor will the heat of the cylinder radically drop.
During this process steam may rise from the outdoor unit. This is a perfectly normal process, it is an automatic procedure.
To maintain the efficiency of the Ecodan a weather compensation mode is activated (by the installer).
When the outside temperature is colder the flow temperature to the radiators/under-floor is hotter.
When warmer outside radiators will be less. This weather compensating curve is pre-set by the installing engineer. Lower flow temperatures mean higher efficiency.
