Contact with F1145 External information When the heat pump door is closed, information can be received via an information window and a status lamp. Information window The information window shows part of the display that is on the display unit (located behind the door to the heat pump). The information window can display different type of information, e.g.
Display unit There is a display unit behind the heat pump door, which is used to com- municate with F1145. Here you: switch on, switch off or set the heat pump in emergency mode. sets the indoor climate and hot water as well as adjusts the heat pump to your needs.

Maintenance of F1145 Regular checks Your heat pump is, in principle, maintenance free and therefore requires minimal care after commissioning. However, it is recommended that your installation is checked and serviced annually by qualified personnel. This is to ensure the continued efficient operation of your heat pump, and that the warranty remains valid during the warranty period.
You can lower the temperature when away from the house by scheduling "holiday setting" in menu 4.7. See page 56 for instructions. If you activate "Hot water Economy", less energy is used. Chapter 2 | The heat pump – the heart of the house NIBE™ F1145...

The line in which the heated water is transported from the heat pump out to the house heating system (radiators/heating coils). Free cooling The cold brine from the collector/borehole is used to cool the accommod- ation. Chapter 6 | Glossary NIBE™ F1145...
When the temperature of the brine increases or decreases, the pressure in the system changes and the level in the level vessel also changes. Mixing valve A valve that mixes the cold water with the hot water leaving the heater. Chapter 6 | Glossary NIBE™ F1145...
Radiator Another word for heating element. They must be filled with water in order to be used with F1145. Refrigerant Substance that circulates around a closed circuit in the heat pump and that, through pressure changes, evaporates and condenses. During evap- oration, the refrigerant absorbs heating energy and during condensing, gives off heating energy.
