For correct function of the heat pump over the entire year, the charge flow must be correctly adjusted. If an NIBE indoor module VVM or accessory controlled charge pump is used for the control module SMO, the control tries to maintain an optimal flow across the heat pump.
Under normal operating conditions the home owner does not need to have access to the controller. To control F2120, a NIBE indoor module/control module F2120 communicates with the NIBE indoor module/con- is required, which calls upon F2120 according to de- trol module, which means that all settings and measure- mand.
