Refrigerant R-410A is a fluorinated greenhouse gas and, consequently, subject to the EU F-gas Regulation. Please recover the refrigerant as required by law, and transfer the refrigerant for recycling or disposal as required by applicable laws, rules and regulations. The refrigerant is heavier than air. The refrigerant may accumulate in enclosed spaces, especially at or below the floor level (for example, in basements).
1.4 Transportation and storage Storage Store the unit upright in a warm, dry place. Protect the device against water and dust. Do not stack goods on the unit. Transportation Transport the unit upright and protected against water and dust. Do not stack goods on the unit.

DEVICE SETTINGS → SERVICE → HEATING Heating circuit 1 The circuit is not in use. Direct connection The heat pump is connected directly to the building’s heating system. The system has no circulation pump or control valve that would be controlled by the heat pump. Circuit in use Direct connection, with pump The system has a circulation pump which is controlled by the heat pump.
actual heating circuit or its heating emitters, and not to a shared distribution circuit. Typical examples of such systems include floor heating and radiator heating systems incorporating a manifold. Proportional pressure control When the flow rate (demand for heating) is reduced, the system will reduce the pressure produced by the pump (i.e.
4 Commissioning 4.1 General The heat pump’s automation system is operated with an app installed in a smartphone or tablet. This app is used to connect to the heat pump’s built-in data hub. The unit is supplied with a wireless touch screen preinstalled with the app and with the connection already configured.
3. Select Users and roles. 4. Select Service. 5. Enter the password and tap OK. 6. You are now signed in as a service-level user. ● The Service level password is 8520. Return from the menu by tapping the arrow in the top left corner.
4.5 Heating settings Heating The Heating buffer sensor setting determines the heat source used by heating circuits: either the heat pump's condenser or a buffer tank. Select other circuit equipment from each circuit’s settings. Not connected The heat pump is connected directly to the building’s heating system without a buffer tank.
Heating circuit 2 and 3 See the instructions for heating circuit 1 setup. The circulation pump and control valve for heating circuit 2 and 3 require an auxiliary controller. 4.6.1 Typical heating curve adjustments 1. If the room temperature is too cold when the outdoor temperature is 0 °C, slightly increase the flow setpoint at outdoor temperature points −2 °C and +8 °C.

Additional heating, space heating Whe the first power stage is activated, the Power increase delay takes effect. After the delay, the next power stage will switch on. ● Typical setting: 40–120 ● Increase the delay to move forward the point at which the next power stages will be switched on to provide supplementary heating (for the compressor and the Power increase first stage).
4.8 Additional heating, hot water Additional heating, hot water If one of the settings below is selected, the system can switch on the electric heater when the compressor reaches its operating limits and switches off (or the legionella function is active). The setting influences DHW heating only. Freezing protection only The electric heater will switch on only when DHW tank temperature falls below +5 °C (freezing protection).
Brine pump You can set the brine pump to keep running continuously for a few days after Keeps running commissioning. The setpoint value is in days. 4.10 Final settings Manual control The manual control function allows you to manually switch valve positions and, for example, turn on the brine pump or condenser pump to facilitate bleeding the corresponding circuit.

5 Operation 5.1 Heat pump operation The system’s connection diagrams are provided as a separate document. The heat pump collects heat from the fluid in the brine circuit and releases the heat collected through a condenser and into heating water. In addition to the heat pump itself, CUBE heat pump units include an in-line heater for supplementary and backup heating.

determines when heating starts (instead of the flow water temperature). Whenever the building’s domestic hot water needs heating, space heating will be suspended until domestic hot water has been heated to a sufficient temperature. Domestic hot water tank heating will start when the DHW tank temperature (minus the switching difference) falls below the domestic hot water target temperature.
6 Technical data 6.1 Heat pump technical data The performance between different units may vary. This variation is due to a wide number of factors, such as the properties of the fluids used in the circuits, fouling of the heat transfer surfaces in the condenser and evaporator circuit, flow rates, individual differences between compressors (standard EN 12900) as well as refrigerant circuit charge and adjustments made to the refrigerant circuit during installation.
