Proper use The ROTEX HPSU compact may only be used for domestic hot water generation, as a room heating system and, depending on the version, as a cold water cooling system ( ).
Instructions for operating safety Work on the ROTEX HPSU compact (such as setup, servicing, connection and initial start-up) is only to be carried out by persons who are authorised and who have successfully completed qualifying technical or vocational training and who have taken part in advanced training sessions recognised by the appropriate responsible authorities.
(cooling). The storage tank on the ROTEX HPSU compact is built in such a way to enable the heat pump system to be combined with a ROTEX Solaris solar installation without needing an additional hot water tank.
When the heat carrier medium water reaches a useable temperature, it is pumped by feed pumps in the control and pump unit (RPS3) through the solar panels. In the integrated storage tank of the ROTEX HPSU compact, the solar heat generated in this way is transferred into the heating and hot water circuit.
The black pointer must be in the green range. If it is to the left of the red pointer, the water pressure must be raised by topping up the system. If water needs to be filled frequently, please find out the reason for it and have the fault correct as soon as possible. BA ROTEX HPSU compact 2 - 04/2011...
When connecting a booster or backup heater or a ROTEX solar installation to the HPSU compact, the main control (HPR1) must be configured in its parameter settings as appropriate.
Page 13
Additional settings for the booster heater (BOH) can be configured in parameters [8-xx]. If the hot water supply is being provided by an installed ROTEX Solaris installation, the symbol flashes. – Low-noise operation In this operating mode the output of the system is reduced so that the operating noise of the external heat pump unit (RRLQ) is reduced.

If the target temperature for the water heating is not reached by the heat pump, the control system switches the optional booster heater (BOH) on as well. Only with installation of ROTEX Solaris solar installation: If the icon flashes, the hot water for the storage tank integrated in HPSU compact is not generated by the heat pump but by the optional ROTEX solar installation instead.

A total overall coolant fill of less than 3 kg is not subject to any European legal requirement concerning inspection intervals. However, ROTEX would recommend entering into a maintenance contract and recording the work carried out in the operating manual in order to preserve guarantee claims.
– Touching components during or after operation leads to a risk of burns. – Water discharged during maintenance and servicing work can cause scalding on contact with the skin. • Before carrying out servicing and maintenance work, allow the ROTEX HPSU compact to cool down sufficiently.
• Clean plastic surface of HPSU compact with a soft cloth and mild cleaning agent. Do not use cleaning agents containing aggressive solvents, as this will damage the plastic surface. Confirmation of servicing • Complete the confirmation of servicing in the supplied operating manual of the HPSU compact. BA ROTEX HPSU compact 2 - 04/2011...
If the HPSU compact is not needed for a long time, it can be temporarily decommissioned. However, ROTEX advises against disconnecting the system from the power supply, and recommends instead that you deactivate the operating modes room cooling and room heating. The hot water heating mode must remain active. In order to make the frost protection as energy-saving as possible, the hot water temperature can be set to the lowest possible value on the controller of the control system.
