INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP WITH DC INVERTER (SPLIT TYPE) MODEL: AWB-SS-7 DC AWB-SS-9 DC AWB-SS-12 DC AWB-SS-15 DC - Please Read This Manual Before Using The Heat Pump -...
System description Principle of operation BWB-SS DC series consists of a heat pump, water heater, The brine emits its heat to the refrigerant in the heat electrical module, circulation pumps and a control sys- pump’s evaporator. It then vaporises and is com- tem.
System description Unit Description In order to get the best results from the climate system AWB-SS series you should read through the section For the System manager in these Installation and Maintenance instructions. AWB-SS DC series is a climate system for heating houses and apartment buildings as well as industrial properties.
System description Principle of heat pump A heat pump can exploit the energy contained in natural heat sources. Or, to put it differently, the heat pump ”collects” heat energy from the heat source. This makes the heat pump a very environmentally friendly and economically sound alternative for space heating.

Control panel Functions The control computer is operated with the help of a user friendly menu system that is displayed on the control panel. There is a main menu and several sub-menus accessible from the main menu. The menus are described in detail further down.
General information for the installer Transport and storage Inspection of the installation The AWB-SS DC series must be transported and stored Current regulations require the heating installation to upright and dry. The AWB-SS DC series may however be be inspected before it is commissioned. The inspec- carefully laid on its back when being moved into tion must be carried out by a suitably qualified person a building.
Pipe connections General Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with current norms and directives. The heat pump can NOTE! operate up to a return temperature of about 58* °C and an outgoing temperature of about 70* °C from the 7KH SLSH V\VWHP QHHGV WR EH IOXVKHG heat pump.
Pipe connections Pipe connections (heating Pipe connections (water heater) medium) The heat pump´s water heater must be fitted with the necessary valve equipment. Pipe connections for the heat medium side are made The heat pump should be supplemented with an elec- at the top.
Pipe connections How to connect the copper pipes Piping Connecton 1. Open the cover of the outdoor unit. 2. Connect the pipe to the indoor unit and outdoor unit.

Control Maximum Return Line Temperature The maximum return line temperature, i.e. temperature of the water returning from the heating system, should be adapted to each individual installation. The correct temperature value for your system will be entered by your installation contractor in connection with installation and can be adjusted later. Warm Water Production The temperature of the water distributed to the water heater is controlled by the regulating pressure switch and cannot be adjusted.
Control Regular Checks Checking the Water Level of the Heating System The pressure of the heating system should be checked once monthly. The pressure, shown on the external pressure gauge, should be 1-1,5 bar. If the value is below 0.8 bar with cold water in the heating system, more water must be added (applies to a closed expansion vessel).
Control Alarm Messages In the event of an alarm message, try to re-start the unit with the safety switch. If this does not work, try to solve the problem with the help of the table below. Call your installation contractor if you need help.
