Chapter 1 General information This operating manual consists of a detailed description of the installation and commissioning of the HPM controller. The manual describes the individual parts of the controller as well as its operation, how to connect sensors, pumps and valves, selecting the system diagram and how to make additional adjustments to adapt the controller to the construction of a individual system and its installed heat pump(s).
1.1 HPM tool: Selecting the system diagram To select the system diagram, Panasonic offers a web-based tool called “HPM tool”. HPM tool is a web-based software accessible via the address www.hpmtool.eu using a standard Internet browser HPM tool permits quick and easy selection of the right system diagram for your heating system.
1.2 Model overview and Accessories The product range of the PAW-HPM consists of the HPM controller (with or without display), the adapter cable (enabling communication with a split- or mono-block heat pump) and miscellaneous sensors: Controller type Display and Keys BUS * PAW-HPM1 PAW-HPM2...
1.4 The controller 1.4.1 The control elements HPM is available with or without a built-in display. Models without a display have no control elements. In this case, the controller is operated via the communication port (RS-485). Models featuring a display offering a front panel that is highly intuitive and simple to use, containing a backlit text display and a control element with 5 keys.
1.4.3 The main operating mode switch The menu for the main operating switch can be accessed by pressing “+” while in the default display. The menu contains the operating mode switch for the controller and the main switch for the heat pump. The position of the switch can then be selected by using “+”...
1.4.4 System overview To provide the user or technical personnel with a quick overview of the current heating system, it is possible to enter a menu which will display the most relevant parameters. These include operating and error status, setpoints, current values and signals transmitted via the output terminals, as well as the option to adjust the occupation time 1 and non-occupation time setpoints.
1.5 The socket The socket of the HPM constitutes a separate component in which the terminals are contained and the wires connected. The socket is divided by a separator into 2 parts. The left-hand side contains low voltage connections, such as for sensors and 0...10 V terminals, and the right-hand side contains high voltage connections (230 V) for actuators and pumps.
1.6 The interfaces Depending on the type of controller, a number of interfaces are available: Ethernet for TCP/IP (web RS-485 for external display server) and other controllers RS-485 for USB to PC communication with (service) heat pump Fig. 1.9: The interfaces Each controller is equipped with an USB interface.

Chapter 2 Installation and wiring 2.1 Installation HPM comes prepared for 3 different kinds of mounting. 2.1.1 Wall mounting Holes for wall mounting Fig. 2.1 Wall mounting Because the HPM is a stand-alone controller, it is highly suitable for direct wall mounting.
2.1.2 Mounting in a control cabinet door Flaps for fastening controller in cabinet door Fig. 2.2 Control cabinet door mounting The HPM can be installed in a cabinet door or in a panel of a boiler or a heat pump. The controller is designed to fit into a standard hole of 138 x 192 mm.
2.2 Wiring 2.2.1 General Fig. 2.4: Connection of power supply, relay outputs, sensor and contact inputs. The HPM is equipped with 7 potential-free relay outputs, 8 sensor inputs (which can also be used as contact inputs), 2 contact/pulse counter inputs and 2 continuous (0…10 V) universal inputs/outputs.
2.2.3 Input terminals The HPM has the following input terminals: Sensor input (PT1000, Nickel1000 or Nickel1000 LG): Only one type of sensor can be used at any one time and has to be specified during the initial installation (see chapter “The start-up sequence”). Contact input or counter input (for reading a pulse from a meter).

Room thermostat (for switch-off of heating circuits) If a room thermostat, used to switch off the heating, should be connected, a switching contact must be placed between the sensor ground and a free input terminal (17-26). When assigning the terminal (called “system” main switch in the heating circuit), this input terminal is configured automatically as a contact signal input.
External heat demand Fig. 2.10: controlling external heat demand with up to 10 controllers The 0…10 V inputs/outputs can be used to transfer a heat demand from one controller to another. If one controller is used to control the heat source, the 0...10 V inputs can be used to connect up to 9 other controllers for control of heating circuits or domestic hot water circuits.

2.2.6 Connection with the heat pump The HPM controller is capable of controlling the Panasonic heat pump via a contact (demand) signal. Communication via contact signal only offers the possibility to send a demand for the heating circuits through the signal.
Page 24
In systems for heating and domestic hot water production with only one heat pump, as well as in cascade systems in which HP1 is taking care of heating and DHW, the function “Room thermostat” (terminals 9 and 12) must be used. In this case, the heat pump can decide when the DHW tank should be loaded using its own domestic hot water management (controlling the switch-over valve and calculating the needed flow temperature).
Page 25
As an accessory there are 2 different adapter cables available for the connection between HPM and the heat pump. They have been developed especially for the communication with Panasonic split- and MONO-block heat pumps and only work in the right combination.
Page 26
Cascade via communication Systems in which more than one heat pump is controlled via the communications port require both additional HPM(2) controllers as well as the proper adapter cable for the additional second and third heat pumps. The HPM controllers must be connected via an Ethernet/LAN switch (see figure, below).
Chapter 3 Initial installation 3.1 Selecting a system diagram - HPM tool HPM tool is a web-based software accessible via the address www.hpmtool.eu using a standard Internet browser HPM tool permits quick and easy selection of the right system diagram for your heating system.
Page 28
Fig. 3.2: Selecting heating circuit 2 – the system structure is now completed If a selected system diagram is available, this is shown by a symbol located to the right of the number: Fig. 3.3: System diagram NOT available System diagram available If the desired system diagram is not available, simply choose the closest available solution and then make the needed adjustments manually during initial installation in order to adjust the controller to your heating system.
Fig. 3.5: Print preview When entering the system diagram number (e.g. “58133” in the above example) into the HPM during its initial start-up phase, the controller will automatically configure its input and output terminals and parameters in accordance with the documentation offered by the HPM tool.
Naturally, the automatically generated parameter configuration may later be manually adjusted or changed. This means it is also possible to control systems which are not entirely covered by the pre-configured system diagrams. Upon delivery of the controller, there is normally no system diagram assigned and the control programs are inactive.
3.2.2 Reloading the system diagram The system diagram can be reloaded at any time, e.g. if the automatic configuration was incomplete due to a power failure or if you want to select a different system diagram. The following steps must then be performed: Press and hold “OK”...
Page 32
The following steps must be performed for a manual configuration: Press and hold “OK” until the controller asks for an access code. Using “+”, “-“ and “OK”, enter the access code “4444”. Press “OK” and the controller will switch to the “MCR/BMS” menu. Pressing “UP”...
When the configuration is performed, it can be saved to memory. To do so, the controller must be connected to a PC or notebook and the appropriate software must be used (e.g. gpm-read...reading parameter settings, hpm-write...writing parameter settings back into the controller, hpm-control...remote control via PC) 3.3 Additional adjustments After the system diagram is loaded, additional adjustments can be made.
Every module (except for the timer) uses the following structure: Module library level Parameter level E.g. district heating circuit Current values Setpoints Additional functions Status Manual operation Service functions Table 3.2: menu structure in a library module The appendix contains a detailed description of the menu structure of the HPM controller.

To reach the menu for making these adjustments starting from the default display, press “OK” and select “domestic hot water (DHW)” using “DOWN”. Enter the menu using “OK” and then select “setpoints” and press “OK”. This menu contains all parameters required for the occupation (SP-OTx) and non-occupation times. 3.3.5 Heating Circuits –...
3.3.6 System – time and date In the menu “timers/timer service”, the system clock of the HPM controller can be set. To set the clock, press “OK” starting from the default menu. Press “OK” again to enter the menu “timers”. Use “DOWN” to select “timer service” and enter this menu by pressing “OK”.
3.3.8 Operating mode switch The operating mode switch for the controller and heat pump are set to the “OFF”- position after the system diagram has been loaded. In this position, no temperature setpoints are calculated and no control outputs activated. To place the system into automatic operation, the operating mode switches for the controller and the heat pump must be set to “AUTO”.
3.3.10 Screed drying The “screed drying” function enables the initiatiation of a special heating-up program for a composition floor layer. Depending on the screed material used and its composition, it is possible to adjust the parameters for starting time and heat-up, holding and cool-down steps, before the function is activated.
Chapter 4 Appendix 4.1 The displaying of error messages HPM recognises a number of trouble indications and errors. You will see them when the error message alternates with the defaukt display. The following short text can be seen: Frost protection for the system, flow temperature below frost limit FP-system FP-stor Frost protection for storage tank, storage tank temperature below frost limit...
4.3 Table of measuring values of the sensors The HPM controller primarily works with standard PT1000 resistor sensors. In order to test the sensor, both wires of the connection cable must be disconnected from the HPM controller, after which a temperature-dependent resistor value can then be measured with a multimeter.
