Power Limitation Process; Setting Up An External Temperature Sensor; Preparation; Overview: Preparation - Daikin ERHQ011-014-016BA Installer's Reference Manual

▪ Maximum four digital inputs
corresponding power limitation level:
▪ DI1 = weakest limitation (highest energy consumption)
▪ DI4 = strongest limitation (lowest energy consumption)
▪ For the specifications of the digital inputs, and for where to
connect them, refer to the wiring diagram.
Configuration
Set the power consumption control settings in [A.6.3.1] via the user
interface (for the description of all settings, see
page 39):
▪ Select activation by digital inputs.
▪ Select the type of limitation (power in kW or current in A).
▪ Set the desired power limitation level corresponding to each digital
input.
INFORMATION
In case more than 1 digital input is closed (at the same
time), the digital input priority is fixed: DI4 priority>...>DI1.
5.5.3

Power limitation process

The outdoor unit has better efficiency than the electrical heater.
Therefore, the electrical heater is limited and turned OFF first. The
system limits power consumption in the following order:
1 Turns OFF the backup heater.
2 Limits the outdoor unit.
3 Turns OFF the outdoor unit.
Example
If the configuration is as follows: Power limitation level does NOT
allow operation of backup heater (step 1).
Then power consumption is limited as follows:
P
h
c
b
a
C
e
A B
P Produced heat
h
C Consumed energy
e
A Outdoor unit
B Backup heater
a Limited outdoor unit operation
b Full outdoor unit operation
c Backup heater step 1 turned ON
5.6 Setting up an external temperature
sensor
You can connect one external temperature sensor. It can measure
the indoor or outdoor ambient temperature. Daikin recommends to
use an external temperature sensor in the following cases:
ERHQ+ERLQ011~016 + EHVZ16S18CB
Daikin Altherma – Low temperature split
4P401677-1 – 2015.02
are used to activate the
"8 Configuration" on
Indoor ambient temperature
▪ In room thermostat control, the user interface is used as room
thermostat and it measures the indoor ambient temperature.
Therefore, the user interface must be installed on a location:
▪ Where the average temperature in the room can be detected
▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
▪ That is NOT near a heat source
▪ That is NOT affected by outside air or air draught because of,
for example, door opening/closing
▪ If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote
indoor sensor (option KRCS01-1).
▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of
the remote indoor sensor.
▪ Configuration: Select room sensor [A.2.2.B].
Outdoor ambient temperature
▪ In the outdoor unit, the outdoor ambient temperature is measured.
Therefore, the outdoor unit must be installed on a location:
▪ At the north side of the house or at the side of the house where
the most heat emitters are located
▪ That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight
▪ If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote
outdoor sensor (option EKRSCA1).
▪ Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of
the remote outdoor sensor.
▪ Configuration: Select outdoor sensor [A.2.2.B].
▪ During suspend (see "8 Configuration" on page
unit is turned down to reduce the standby energy losses. As a
result, the outdoor ambient temperature is NOT read out.
▪ If the desired leaving water temperature is weather dependent, the
full time outdoor temperature measurement is important. This is
another reason to install the optional outdoor ambient temperature
sensor.
INFORMATION
The external outdoor ambient sensor data (either averaged
or instantaneous) is used in the weather-dependent control
curves. To protect the outdoor unit, the internal sensor of
the outdoor unit is always used.

Overview: Preparation

This chapter describes what you have to do and know before going
on-site.
It contains information about:
▪ Preparing the installation site
▪ Preparing the refrigerant piping
▪ Preparing the water piping
▪ Preparing the electrical wiring
6.2

Preparing installation site

Do NOT install the unit in places often used as work place. In case
of construction works (e.g. grinding works) where a lot of dust is
created, the unit must be covered.
Choose the installation location with sufficient place for carrying the
unit in and out of the site.
