(HE 30, HEV 300, HEV 500), which takes care of the regulation and heat distribution in the house. In order to gain the greatest benefit from the NIBE SPLIT system, please refer to the 'For Home Owners' chapter within this Installation and Maintenance Manual.
Product information Function NIBE SPLIT is a complete modern heat pump system that NIBE SPLIT is a system that can produce heating, hot water offers effective energy saving and reduced carbon dioxide and cooling. emissions. NIBE SPLIT gives safe and economical climate The principle during heating can be simplified as follows: control.

HBS 12 and AMS 10 require minimal maintenance after HEV 300/HEV 500 commissioning. NIBE SPLIT contains many components and is why monit- oring functions are integrated to help you. If something abnormal occurs, a message appears about malfunctions in the form of different ”alarm” texts in dis- play.
WARNING! Rotating fan in AMS 10. Saving tips Your NIBE SPLIT installation produces heat and hot water according to your needs. It also attempts to carry out all requirements with all available ”aids” from the control settings made. The indoor temperature is naturally affected by the energy consumption.
Activate operating mode ”Only additional heat”. Display not lit. Check and replace any blown circuit and main fuses. Check that the circuit breaker to the indoor unit is not off. Check that the switch (SF1) is in normal position (1). NIBE™ SPLIT...
