▪ The option box is designed to be wall-mounted in indoor locations
only. Make sure the installation surface is a flat and vertical non-
combustible wall.
▪ The option box is designed to operate in ambient temperatures
ranging from 5~35°C.
Do NOT install the option box in the following places:
▪ Sound sensitive areas (e.g. near a bedroom), so that the
operation noise will cause no trouble.
▪ In places with high humidity (max. RH=85%), for example a
bathroom.
▪ In places where frost is possible.

backup heater
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
▪ Mind the measurement guidelines:
Maximum distance between the backup heater and
the outdoor unit
▪ Mind the following spacing installation guidelines:
>50 >50
INFORMATION
If the backup heater is installed in a reversible system
(heating+cooling) and valve kit EKMBHBP1 is part of the
system, it may be required to provide more space under
the backup heater than indicated above. For more
information, refer to
page 37.
▪ The backup heater is designed to be wall-mounted in indoor
locations only. Make sure the installation surface is a flat and
vertical non-combustible wall.
▪ The backup heater is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures ranging from 5~30°C.
Do NOT install the backup heater in the following places:

Preparing water piping

6.3.1

Water circuit requirements

INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
NOTICE
In case of plastic pipes, make sure they are fully oxygen
diffusion tight according to DIN 4726. The diffusion of
oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.
▪ Connecting piping – Legislation. Make all piping connections in
accordance with the applicable legislation and the instructions in
the "Installation" chapter, respecting the water inlet and outlet.
▪ Connecting piping – Force. Do NOT use excessive force when
connecting the piping. Deformation of the piping can cause
malfunctioning of the unit.
▪ Connecting piping – Tools. Only use appropriate tooling to
handle brass, which is a soft material. If NOT, pipes will get
damaged.
▪ Connecting piping – Air, moisture, dust. If air, moisture or dust
gets into the circuit, problems may occur. To prevent this:
▪ Only use clean pipes
▪ Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.
▪ Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall, to prevent
dust and/or particles entering the pipe.
▪ Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.
NOTICE
If glycol is present in the system, make sure the thread
sealant used is resistant to glycol.
▪ Closed circuit. Use the outdoor unit ONLY in a closed water
system. Using the system in an open water system will lead to
excessive corrosion.
▪ Piping length. It is recommended to avoid long runs of piping
between the domestic hot water tank and the hot water end point
(shower, bath,...) and to avoid dead ends.
▪ Piping diameter. Select the water piping diameter in relation to
the required water flow and the available external static pressure
of the pump. See "14 Technical data" on page 90
static pressure curves of the outdoor unit.
▪ Water flow. If a backup heater or tank with recirculation pump is
installed, or if glycol is present in the system ([E‑0D] set to "1"), it
is required to guarantee a minimum flow of 15 l/min. In all other
cases the minimum
When the flow is lower than the above mentioned minimum flow,
the system will stop operation and display error 7H.
▪ Field supply components – Water and glycol. Only use
materials that are compatible with the water (and, if applicable,
glycol) used in the system, and with the materials used in the
outdoor unit.
▪ Field supply components – Water pressure and temperature.
Check that all components in the field piping can withstand the
water pressure and water temperature.
