WARNINGS Carefully read the instructions in this manual before using the unit. GENERAL WARNINGS • Failure to respect the warnings may cause serious damage to the pool equipment or cause serious injury, even death. • Only a person qualified in the technical fields concerned (electricity, hydraulics or refrigeration) is authorised to carry out maintenance or repair work on the appliance.
Page 4
WARNINGS ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES • The power supply to the appliance must be protected by a dedicated 30 mA Residual Current Device (RCD), complying with the standards and regulations in force in the country in which it is installed. •...
Page 5
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE • The appliance may not be installed close to combustible materials, or the air duct inlet of an adjacent building. • With some appliances, it is essential to fit a "protection grid"-type accessory if the unit is installed in an area with uncontrolled access. •...
Page 6
RECOVERY • When draining the refrigerant for maintenance or decommissioning, best practices should be followed in order to safely drain all of the refrigerant. • When transferring refrigerant to a cylinder, make sure that you use a recovery cylinder that is compatible with the refrigerant. Make sure that the correct number of cylinders are provided for recovering all of the refrigerant.

1.2 I Technical specifications Z950 TD35 TD45 TD60 TD90 TD120 -12 to 38 °C Operating temperatures water 10 to 40 °C Defrosting by cycle inversion Air T°C < 10 °C Voltage 400V/3/50 Hz Admissible variation in voltage ± 10 % (during operation)
❷ Installation 2.1 I Selecting the location • Installation is only permitted outdoors. • Do not lift the appliance by the body; use the dedicated points on its base (see § “1.3 I Dimensions and marking“). • When the appliance is installed and protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum current of 30 mA, it should be installed at a distance of at least 2 metres from the edge of the pool.
2.2 I Hydraulic connections • A by-pass must be installed to make it easier to work on the appliance. • The device will be connected to the pool's filtration circuit with a Ø63 or Ø75 PVC pipe (depending on the model) using the supplied connectors, after the filter and before the water treatment.
2.3 I Electrical connections 2.3.1 Electrical power supply connection • Before any work inside the appliance, you must cut the appliance’s electricity supply as there is a risk of electric shock which may cause material damage, serious injury or even death. •...
Page 14
2.3.2 "Heating priority" option • Before any work inside the appliance, you must cut the appliance’s electricity supply as there is a risk of electric shock which may cause material damage, serious injury or even death. • Use cables with a section of at least 2x0.75 mm², RO2V type and with a diameter between 8 and 13 mm.
❸ Use 3.1 I Operating principle 3.1.1 General operation Your heat pump uses the calories (heat) in the air to heat up your pool's water. The process to heat your pool's water to the temperature you want may take a few days as it depends on the weather conditions, the heat pump's power and the difference between the water temperature and the temperature you want.

❹ Maintenance 4.1 I Winterising • Winterising is recommended if the appliance is not used for a long period. • In the case of winterising for the heat pump only, the appliance can be kept frost-free thanks to the condenser and compressor resistors. In this case, it can continue to be powered and the condensers will not require draining.
• Clean the outside of the appliance using a solvent-free product; a specific "PAC NET" cleaning kit is available as an accessory in the Zodiac® catalogue for this purpose (see § “1.1 I Description”). 4.2.2 Maintenance to be carried out by a qualified technician •...
Troubleshooting ❺ • Before you contact your retailer, please carry out these few simple checks using the following tables if a problem occurs. • If the problem persists, contact your retailer. • : Actions to be performed by a qualified technician only 5.1 I Appliance behaviour •...

• If F24 = 1 (only one compressor), the system 2 inputs and outputs are not used and no value is displayed. 5.4 I Advanced operating principles 5.4.1 Operating principles of modes The appliance has 4 operating modes: Heating, Cooling, Heating/Cooling. The user interface can be used to switch between these modes (see §...
Page 31
5.4.1.3 Heating/Cooling mode In Heating/Cooling mode, the appliance cools the water when the sensor temperature is higher than the setpoint temperature increased by the temperature differential of the Heating/Cooling mode (parameter F15). The appliance stops cooling the water when the temperature is below the setpoint temperature. The appliance heats the water when the sensor temperature is lower than the setpoint temperature reduced by the temperature differential of the Heating/Cooling mode (parameter F15).
5.4.3 I Operating principles of electrical protection 5.4.3.1 Protection system The compressor's time delay is configurable (see § “5.3 I Advanced setting parameters (accessible by a qualified technician)”, setting F21). This delay is used by the regulator to avoid continuous ON/OFF cycles. When the compressor stops following an operating phase, the regulator checks that this time has elapsed before it restarts the compressor.
