Compact P / Compact P Polar - AIR (English) BY NILAN Safety Starting the external unit The external AIR unit is equipped with a compressor heater, which heats up the compressor prior to starting and in case of low outdoor temperatures. This facilitates start-up and extends the compressor’s service life.
Disposal Ventilation system Nilan units mainly consist of recyclable materials. They should therefore not be disposed of with household refuse. Take them to your local recycling centre. Heatpump Concerning disposal of units with heat pumps, it is important to contact the local authorities for information about correct handling of these.
• Installation instructions/Software instructions • User manual • Wiring diagram The instructions can be downloaded from the Nilan website: http://www.nilan.dk/en-gb/frontpage/ download If you have further questions on unit installation after reading the instructions, contact your nearest Nilan distributor, who can be found on www.nilan.dk/en-gb/frontpage/download/dealers.

The energy-efficient and low-noise AIR air/water heat pump heats the home via floor heating or low- temperature radiators. It extracts energy from the outside air and functions at temperatures as low as -22 ºC. The heat pump has an electrical power supply to help it to function during very cold periods. The AIR unit has a reversible cooling circuit, which means that it can also be used to cool the home during the summer, using either the floor heating system or fan coils.

Accessories Electrical preheating element for frost protection In longer periods of sub-zero temperatures, the high-efficiency counterflow heat exchanger will ice up. To avoid icing, it is recommended that an electrical preheating element is mounted. The preheating element uses very little energy, but ensures efficient heat recovery without de-icing, thus achieving an overall saving in energy consumption.
Flexible silencing To facilitate later servicing of the unit, we recommend fitting a flexible connection between the unit and the duct system. Nilan's sound damping flexi-hose gives good sound damping both to the duct system and to roof stacks. Trolley A trolley makes it possible to lift the unit of the pallet without physical strain.
When lifting the units with the supplied straps, these must be at an angle of max. 45° from the vertical. Nilan also offers a lifting trolley, with which the unit can be lifted directly off the pallet and into the building. If the filter box is removed, the unit can be manoeuvred through an ordinary door.

Compact P / Compact P Polar - AIR (English) BY NILAN Plumbing connections for accessories Safety group CAUTION A safety device must be connected to the hot water tank. When water is heated to 60 °C, it expands by 2%. A pressure tank could burst without a safety valve keeping excess water out.
Safety group with anti-scald protection The control system contains as standard a temperature limit for domestic hot water of 65 ºC. This setting prevents users from scalding themselves when the hot tap is turned on. It also means that when Compact P is in cooling mode, cooling will stop when the domestic hot water reaches a temperature of 65 ºC.
