In these conditions, the relay which controls the sanitary valve will be also energized during heating operation and not only in sanitary mode.
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans 10.5 REMOTE FUNCTIONS The terminal block provides the digital inputs to control the unit via an external consent. 10.5.1 ON/OFF The ON/OFF function is enabled by default on the digital input “ID2” (terminals: ON/OFF-ON/OFF). Remove the bridge of the terminal block then the unit will be placed in stand-by mode (in such status the display of the on-board unit controller will show the "E00"...
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans 10.6 REMOTE SENSOR FOR THE WATER TEMPERATURE OF THE PLANT CIRCUIT In some configurations of systems (example: heat pump in parallel with a boiler on the same hydronic circuit and diverter valve of exclusion) it could be necessary to enable a plant temperature sensor to allow the on-board unit controller to correctly process the management.
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans 10.7.3 ELECTRIC HEATER OF SANITARY WATER PRODUCTION It is an additional energy resource for the sanitary water tank heating when the compressor is not able to reach the set temperature within a reasonable time.
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans - r32 = 0: boiler without a circulating pump with thermoregulation to be performed by the heat pump unit. - r32 = 1: boiler equipped with independent circulating pump with thermoregulation to be performed by the heat pump unit. - r32 = 2: boiler without circulating pump with independent thermoregulation.
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans activated, and then will be deactivated when the measured temperature by the remote sensor is greater than setpoint Hea. The heat pump follows the activation logic described in paragraph 10.6. The boiler will be managed by the outlet temperature sensor of the heat pump if the water plant circuit remote sensor is not active.

Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans The below Table (5) shows the parameter to be set in order to enable the auxiliary electric heaters in "Summer and sanitary" mode (in this case, the only available auxiliary electric heater is the one of sanitary side and the subdivision between normal/joint/substitution operation is not valid).
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans In this way, the heat pump will stop when achieving the set-point (G02, G03, G05) and the temperature difference can be supplemented by the boiler and/or electric heaters according to the selected temperature offset. 10.13 SUMMER/WINTER OPERATION INDICATION It is possible to set a digital output in order to indicate the operating mode of the unit, plant side.
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans 10.17 Maximum Hz This function is disabled by default. To activate the Maximum Hz function, you should set the parameter L02 to the value L02=1, the cooling and heating capacities will increase with 10% (depending on the heat pump model and working conditions).
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans The 3-way valve with 2 or 3 contacts for power supply connection The 3-way valve is applied to divert the water flow between floor plant and fan coil units. In the case of a 3-way valve with 2 contacts for power supply (with return spring), when the 3-way valve is not activated, the outlet of the valve that is opened must be connected to the floor plant.

15 ALARMS 15.1 WATER FLOW SWITCH ALARM E06 The water side flow switch is already installed inside the unit and DOES NOT HAVE to be tampered with or by-passed in any way. The flow switch is by-passed for 10 seconds after the unit’s start up. The alarm signal occurs after 5 seconds of the error appearance (lack of water flow, air inside the circuit, etc.).
Controller for MEX VS Chillers and inverter air / water heat pumps with axial fans 15.12 [E41] 4-WAY VALVE Manual rearm alarm, identifies a malfunctioning of the 4‐way valve due to inversion. The alarm is not active for a bypass time of approximately 180 seconds from the compressor startup. In heating or DHW mode, the alarm is active when the bypass time has expired with water supply temperature less than the heat pump water return temperature.
