Do not install the control panel in a wet environment which may cause the control panel to malfunction. In cold regions where heat pump will be used primarily for heating, the unit should be raised off the ground 18-24” to allow ice accumulation below the drain hole, otherwise drain pan will become plugged.
Installation Space Requirements: ≥600mm ≥500mm ≥1500mm ≥600mm Unit ≥600mm Bolt Bolt Unit ≥200mm Buffer Tank Installation Site Selection The Buffer tank should be installed indoors When there is a chance of freezing, glycol/water mixture should be used in the buffer tank. ...
Installation of Indoor Heating and Cooling Equipment Indoor heating and cooling equipment such as fan coils, radiator heating or floor heating, should be installed in accordance with relevant regulatory requirements, engineering design drawings, and the manufacturer's installation instructions. Use flexible piping to connect the heat pump and indoor heating and cooling equipment, such as PEX or flexible stainless steel or flexible cooper.
Installation of the Temperature Detector Firstly, place a small amount of heat conductive silicone onto the front of the temperature sensor, then insert it into the temperature thermowell port. Next, push the temperature sensor through to the end of the thermowell, then mark the depth of the pin on the sensor wire.
Electrical Wire Selection – Warning The internal compressor motor insulation does not protect the compressor against all possible conditions. Please be sure that the system is properly grounded when installed in the field. To avoid fire, electric shock and other accidents, only use the power supply voltage indicated on the label. ...

Trial Operation by Qualified Installer Pre-start-up checks: Check the entire pipe system. Ensure the system is full and the air is removed completely. Check whether the valves are open throughout the system. Check the thermal insulation of the pipe work, make sure relevant pipes are appropriately insulated (hot and cold).

Modifying the Temperature Setting While in operating status, short-pressing the button or button, which will modify the temperature setting. For example, if in the hot water mode, it will modify the hot water tank temperature setting. If in cooling condition mode, it will modify the setting of the returning inlet temperature to the heat pump.

Note: The room control strategy for heating and cooling, is not controlled by the heat pump. That is done by the thermostat of the air handler or radiant heating zone for example. The heat pump attempts to maintain a buffer tank temperature that is sufficient for the air handler to do the job of heating or cooling that space.

V. Maintenance and Repair Notes Keep the unit in a dry environment, that is clean and well ventilation. Clean the evaporator fins regularly (once per 1-2 months) in order to maintain high exchange efficiency and save energy. The unit has self-diagnosis built into it and as such will display error codes on the control display if any items need attentions.

Intelligent Defrost By default, the arctic heat pump is designed to defrost itself as needed. The algorithm is factory supplied based on optimized performance parameters for cold climate. These are based on coil temperature differentials and compressor time run. When unit enters defrost it will go through various stages including a reverse to cooling removing some heat from the buffer tank.
b. Unit is in cooling or defrost mode OR c. “Emergency” or “AC Remote On” switch is (activated) To connect the backup heater function (terminals) to a remote heating element you will need to use a 240 VAC contactor, as the system is not designed to provide power directly to a heating system due to the amperage restrictions.

Connect E1 to E1 and E2 to E2 on heat pump and Eco ULTRA Aux heat source dry contact on Eco ULTRA E1/E2 Now when the Arctic Heat Pump calls for supplemental back up heat, the dry contact behind terminal E1/E2 will close, signaling to the boiler to begin contributing energy via its electric heating element.
Multiple Heat Pumps Larger power requirements can be accommodated adding multiple heat pumps in parallel. One heat pump becomes the master and the other are the slaves. When adding multiple units pipe sizing should be increased at the common home run pipe to accommodate the added flow of more than one pump. Example if there are three units with 1”...

Flow Valves- It is recommended when running units in parallel that you properly balance the flow so that it is equal in each loop. Remember flow will always take the path of least resistance! You can purchase a Quick Setter Flow meter to balance each loop (see below).
Wiring Option Appendix Wiring – HEATING Hydronic Pump (HY) EcoULTRA is a fully functional hydronic heating controller and has the capacity to control a single zone pump as well as calculate the optimal operating temperature via a built-in reset controller. This is done via the S1 and S2 connection with the supplied outdoor temperature sensor.
Wiring – HEATING Fan Coils (FC) The Fan coils are equipped with their own thermostat mounted on the unit as well as an internal 3-way valve, and pump output activation switch. The setting of the fan coil should be set to HEATING. When a heating call is generated by the units, the fan coil will open the internal 3-way valve and close its pump output switch.
Wiring – HEATING Air Handler (AH) The Arctic Air Handler will optimize the air flow over its oversized heat exchanger when a heating call occurs from an external room thermostat. When a “W “ heating heat call is received the control board on the LV-Z will activate an external zone pump causing hot water to flow through the heat exchanger and the fan to turn on to its optimal fan speed.
Wiring – COOLING Fan Coil (FC)* The fan coils are equipped with their own thermostat mounted on the unit as well as an internal 3-way valve, and pump output activation switch. The setting of the fan coil should be set to Cooling. When a cooling call is received by the units, the fan coil will open the internal 3-way valve and close its dry contact switch (remote on).
Wiring – COOLING Air Handler (AH)* The Air Handlers are equipped with a dry contact relay that is activate in heating call. To activate this in a cooling call we must jumper W2 and Y2. When an external room thermostat calls for cooling it will activate a “Y”...
Wiring – COOLING & HEATING Air Handler (AH)* The Fan coils are equipped with a relay that is activate in heating call. When an external room thermostat calls for heating it will activate a “W” heating call. This in turn will signal the fan coil to optimize its speed for heating.
*Note In multi-mode such as hot water “and” cooling shown in the layout, the heat pump will always take the hot water mode as priority. As most system designs will use the internal hot water heat exchanger in the EcoULTRA tank, it will require that the hot water tank is first satisfied before activating a cooling call.
This warranty is non-transferable and only exist to the original owner of the Arctic Heat Pump. Customers assume responsibility for subsequent damage that may occur as a result of a warranty failure. Arctic Heat Pumps will not be responsible for additional damage such as freezing or leaks that may occur because of a malfunction.
