F1245. Connecting the climate system A climate system is a system that regulates indoor comfort with the help of the control system in F1245 and for example radiators, underfloor heating/cooling, fan convectors etc. Install all required safety devices, shut-off valves (as close to the heat pump as possible), and supplied particle filter.

FD1-SF2 F1245 Disconnect the heat pump before insulation testing the house wiring. F1245 is not reconnectable between 1-phase and 3- phase, neither is it reconnectable between 3x230V and 3x400V. If the building is equipped with an earth-fault breaker, F1245 should be equipped with a separate one.
Use a suitable tool to release/lock cables in the heat pump terminal blocks. 1. Insert the screwdriver (A) and pry the catch care- fully downwards (B). 2. Angle out the cover and remove it. NIBE™ F1245 Chapter 5 | Electrical connections...
Power connection heater is required, see section "Switch for external blocking of addition and/or compressor" on page 26. F1245 must be installed via an isolator switch with a minimum breaking gap of 3mm. Minimum cable area Tariff control must be dimensioned according to the fuse rating used.

If you wish to connect external operating voltage for the control system to F1245 on the immersion heater F1245 circuit board (AA1) the edge connector at AA1:X2 must be moved toAA1:X9 (as illustrated).
Room sensor Settings F1245 is delivered with a room sensor supplied (BT50). The room temperature sensor has up to three functions: 1. Show current room temperature in F1245's display. FD1-BT30 2. Option of changing the room temperature in °C. F1245 3.
The load monitor is not connected. NOTE Switch (SF1) must not be moved to " " or " " until F1245 has been filled with water. Other- wise the temperature limiter, thermostat, compressor and the immersion heater can be damaged.
Optional connections 3x400V/1x230V 3x230V Master/Slave Several heat pumps (F1145, F1245 and F1345) can be connected by selecting one heat pump as master and the others as slaves.
