• - It might result in electric shock, fire or smoke. • When moving and reinstalling the ACH1 unit, consult the dealer or an authorised technician. - If the controller is installed improperly, electric shock, or fire may result. • To dispose of this product, consult your dealer.
Do not turn off the power immediately after stopping operation. • - Always wait at least five minutes before turning off the power. Otherwise problems may occur. 2. Accessories The unit is provided with the following accessories: [Fig. 2.1] Accessories No supplied Thermistor 5 wire adapter ACH1...
5.1. Connecting the thermistor cables The ACH1 control box is required for the Heat Pump Boiler (PQFY) to switch between domestic hot water and under floor piping heating and cooling modes. The extra interface, i.e., the ACH1 control box is necessary because when operating in heating, a different temperature must be monitored often from a different position than when the system is operating in cooling.
The thermistor can be attached to different parts of the system depending on the set up and the availability of connection points. Note : Thermistor (T1) attached to terminals 1 & 2 on ACH1 unit [Fig 5.1]. Note : If the water heated from the HPB at 45°C is in a separate tank to the immersion heater taking the water temperature up to 60°C, the 45°C water must be kept circulating to maintain legionella control.
[Fig 5.1 [C] and 5.2] Attach the 5 wires on the adapter to ACH1 (CN52) starting with black to terminal 13, followed by red (14), white (15), yellow (16) and green (17). Insert plug end to CN52 on the PQFY water heating unit PCB. Please note power to the ACH1 box is provided through the 5 wire adapter.
6. Setting up the Unit and Unit Logic The ACH1 box can be used for different solutions. The unit can run all modes (DHW, UFH and UFC) on one PQFY system, but follows logic to enable the best performance possible from the system. There can be any combination of modes. The next section details different scenarios and explains how the unit responds.
6.5. DHW and UFH In this case the DHW takes priority over the under floor heating. It is more important to have DHW than space heating, so until the water is up to temperature (45°C), the system will control to the DHW set point. This may mean that water slightly hotter than 45°C being applied to the under floor heating system for a period of time.
