In this case the control unit is located in the electric boiler. When the heat pump has been installed and started there are a number of points you should check regularly. This may concern an alarm triggering or performing basic maintenance actions.
In a refrigerator heat is moved from the inside to the outside. In a heat pump the heat, in the outdoor air, is moved into the house. The heat pump is placed on the outside of your house.

The refrigerant meets the outdoor air in the evaporator (heat exchanger). The air is drawn through the evapora- tor by a fan located on top of the heat pump. The refrigerant, which was previously in a liquid state, will evaporate in this process.
Component parts of the heat pump IVT Optima 600-1100 When the heat pump is combined with 290 A/W, the control unit is integrated in 290 A/W, which also includes a hot water heater. The heat pump is installed outside, the electric boiler and any power guard are installed indoors.
Component parts of the heat pump IVT Optima 1400-1700 When the heat pump is combined with electric cassette or existing electric /oil-fi red boiler, a control cabinet is included. This is located indoors, normally in the same room as the electric cassette or electric/oil-fi red boiler. The control unit is included in the control cabinet.
Control unit Control unit Rego 800 The control unit makes sure the heat pump gives the best energy savings and that it runs for many years. The control unit controls and monitors the heating and hot water supply in your house. The monitoring function is es- pecially important, it shuts down the heat pump in the event of operational disturbances so that no critical parts are damaged.
Control unit The control unit’s operating modes When a heat pump is installed, it must be set-up for a specifi c operating mode. An operating mode relates to the heat pump’s working situation which is dependent on the prevailing conditions, for example, whether an electric or oil-fi...
Control with an outdoor sensor is the most common method used by the control unit to control the heat pump. A sensor is mounted on the external wall of the house (the wall that is the coldest and subjected to the least amount of sun).
The control unit is controlled via the panel in accordance with your requirements. When the heat pump is combined with 290 A/W, the control panel and control unit are in 290 A/W. When the heat pump is installed with electric cassette or electric/oil- fi...
Control panel Menu dial The menu dial is used to navigate between the menus and to confi rm your selection. You also determine the values of different settings by using the dial. If, for example, you turn the menu dial clockwise the value will increase.
Menu levels The menus are divided into different levels for different purposes. Menu Customer level, here you will fi nd the most common functions. Customer level, here you will fi nd further functions. Advanced menu Installer/Ser vice Installer/Service level, relevent settings are made here by the installer/service technician. As a user of the heating installation, you only see what is available in the two customer levels.
65ºC, via the function Extra hot water. A higher water temperature gives more hot water when, for example, several people wish to shower. The heat pump uses the additional heat to increase the temperature to 65ºC.
Temperatures There are several different temperature sensors connected to the heating installation. Each sensor plays an important part in the heat pump's daily operations. The current temperatures for the sensors which are most important for controlling heating and hot water production are given under Temperatures.
Advanced menu Advanced menu The initial menu in the control unit is called Menu. In this menu you will fi nd the functions most frequently used and the ones you have the most benefi t of. In addition, there are extra functions that can be used to affect your heating installation.
. The easiest way to explain the relation is by a Heat curve. Heat cur ve You use the heat curve to help set the desired indoor temperature. The heat pump is controlled by the outdoor temperature. When the weather becomes colder the heat pump ensures more heating is produced automatically.

Advanced menu Set the heat cur ve 1. Select Heat curve in the menu Heating system temperature. The current curve is shown here. The value 32.8 is the fl ow temperature at 0ºC. 2. Start by fi nding the value you wish to change. It can be V, H or some other value.
Set the desired room temperature If you have a room sensor connected to the heat pump you can set the required temperature in the room from the Room sensor settings menu. This is carried out in the same way as in Menu (initial menu).
18ºC, min = 10ºC, max = 35ºC), as can the delay before activation (factory setting 4 hours, min = 0, max = 24 hours). The delay means that the heat pump does not need to switch off and on as often when the outdoor temperature is close to the limit value.
Hot water settings The menus for hot water settings are only displayed when a hot water heater is installed. Extra hot water You can obtain extra hot water by temporarily increasing the temperature of the water in the hot water cylinder. A higher water temperature gives more hot water when, for example, several people wish to shower.
Displays the time remaining to the next hot water peak. Setting the clock The heat pump has functions that are dependent on both the time and date. Thus it is important that these are correct. To set date and time: 1.
Advanced menu Alarm log You can easily see any alarms and warning windows that may have occurred, see section What to do if a fault occurs. The menu provides information about the alarm type and when the alarm occurred. If there is an alarm symbol in the menu window this means the alarm is still active, and some form of action is required.
Lift the cover upwards to release the lower edge. Remove dirt and leaves Over time leaves and other dirt can enter the heat pump. You can easily remove any dirt through the inspection hatch on the side of the heat pump.
If snow attaches/sticks to the holes of the protective covers, brush it off (all Optimas). Also remove any snow or ice from the grille on top of the heat pump. The pump is supplied with defrost functions which can be set by the installer.
The heat pump starts again within 15 minutes if heating is required. If the fault has not been rectifi ed the lamp will remain lit and the status lamp will stop fl...
Possible cause 1: The evaporator is clogged. Action: 1. Clean the evaporator. See Maintenance. 2. Select Acknowledge. 3. Wait for the heat pump to start. 4. If the fault returns, contact your dealer. Possible cause 2: Blocked fan. Action: 1. Remove any items that are blocking the fan.

1. Select Acknowledge. 2. Check the fi lter. 3. Clean the fi lter if necessary, see Maintenance. Possible cause 3: Not enough fl ow over the heat pump. Action: 1. Select Acknowledge. 2. Check that the heat carrier pump has not stopped.

3. Contact your dealer at repeated alarms. T8 High fl ow temperature There is a sensor, T8, in the heat pump, which for reasons of safety, stops the compressor if the fl ow temperature becomes higher than the set value.
Page 32
What to do if a fault occurs Low temperature in condenser The alarm is due to low temperature in the heat pump. A warning window is initially displayed. After 4 repeated warnings (within 2 hours), an alarm is given. Possible cause 1: Air in the heating system.

The heat pump is now working at its highest permitted temperature There is a sensor T9 in the heat pump, which for reasons of safety, stops the compressor if the temperature of the return water from the heating system becomes too high. The limit lies at approximately 59ºC.
Page 34
Additional heat is now working at its highest permitted temperature There is a sensor T9 in the heat pump, which for reasons of safety, stops the compressor and limits the additional heat to the heat pump if the tempera- ture of the return water from the heating system becomes too high. The limit for additional heat lies at approximately 48ºC.

Sound pressure level: Sound pressure level is defi ned as the sound level, which at an ear level of 1.8 metres, is perceived one metre from the heat pump. Measured in a sound measurement room without echo at an outdoor temperature of +7ºC and 50ºC fl ow temperature.
