107 108 System solution Atec Plus Atec Plus includes the control module with supply and return pipe sensors, circulation pump, 3-way valve and electric auxiliary heater. The heat pump produces heat, cooling and hot water. Production of heating and hot water cannot occur at the same time because the exchange valve for heating and hot water is positioned after the heat pump and the auxiliary heater.

Installation Guide Atec Noise information 4.5.1 Installation of the heat pump To prevent disturbing noise from the heat pump the following recommendations should be observed: ▪ In the event the heat pump is positioned on a vibration sensitive base, vibration dampers should be used. The vibration dampers must be correctly dimensioned with regard to the heat pump's weight so that static spring depression of at least 2 mm is obtained in all mounting components.
Installation Guide Atec Electrical Installation Electrical voltage! The terminal blocks are live and can be highly dangerous due to the risk of electric shock. Danger All power supplies must be isolated before electrical installation is started. The heat pump is connected inter- nally at the factory, for this reason electrical installation consists mainly of the connection of the power sup- ply.

Installation Guide Atec HEATING Parameter Meaning CURVE Calculated supply temperature at 0°C outdoor temperature. Shown as a graphic curve. The curve will be limited by the set values of MIN and MAX. Factory setting: 40°C (for under floor heating 30°C), range: 22°C – 56°C Minimum permitted supply temperature, if the temperature for heat stop has been reached and the heat pump has stopped.
Installation Guide Atec Parameter Meaning Controlling the shunt group against a constant temperature is an alternative to the control using a heat curve CONSTANT TEMP given above. Control using constant temperature is selected using the parameter CONSTANT TEMP in the Serv- ice menu.
Installation Guide Atec BUFFER TANK The menu only appears if the function is activated in menu SERVICE -> INSTALLATION - SYSTEM -> BUFFER TANK. Parameter Meaning TANK TEMP Indicates desired temperature for buffer tank. The temperature is controlled dependent on the selection made in the Service menu.

Installation Guide Atec Important information/Safety regulation General safety precautions Risk of personal injury! Children are not permitted to play with the product. Warning Caution The heat pump must be installed by authorised installation engineers and the installation must follow the applicable local rules and regulations as well as these installation instructions.
Installation Guide Atec Cold and hot water pipes and overflow pipes from safety valves must be made of heat resistant and corro- Caution sion-resistant material, for example copper. The safety valve overflow pipes must have an open connection to the drain and visibly flow into this in a frost-free environment.
Draining and refilling must only be carried out using new refrigerant (for the amount and type of refrigerant see manufacturer’s plate) through the service valves. All warranties from Thermia are void if, when filling with refrigerant other than Thermia Värme AB specified Caution refrigerant, if there has not been written notification that the new refrigerant is an approved replacement re- frigerant together with other remedies.
Installation Guide Atec Commissioning The installation may only be commissioned if the heating system and brine system have been filled and bled. Caution Otherwise the circulation pumps can be damaged. If the installation is only to be driven by the immersion heater during the installation, ensure that the heating Caution system is filled and the brine pump and compressor cannot be started.
