We thank you for the confidence that you have shown in us by buying a heat pump from Thermia. We hope that you will benefit from it for many, many years to come.
Safety precautions The heat pump cover and control unit cover must only be opened by authorised service technicians. This product is not intended for persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or psychological capacity, or who do not have knowledge or experience, unless supervised or they have received instructions on how the apparatus functions from a safety qualified person.
System modifications Only authorized installers may carry out modifications on the following components: • The heat pump unit • Water and electrical installations • The safety valve Do not carry out construction installations that may affect the opera‐ tional safety of the heat pump. Safety valve The following safety precautions apply to the hot water circuit’s safety valve with corresponding overflow pipe:...
About your heat pump The heat pump is a complete heat pump installation that consists of two basic units: a heat pump placed outdoors and a control unit placed indoors. The control unit is available in three models in order to be able to create as optimal system solution as possible, both in an existing heating system that is to be upgraded and in new builds.

Heat production is as follows; • A fan draws the outdoor air through an air heat exchanger (1), which heats up the cold refrigerant, which evaporates into a gas. • The refrigerant that is now supplied with energy in the form of heat is transferred via the 4 way valve (2) to the compressor (3), where its temperature and pressure are increased.

Hot water production is prioritised ahead of heat and cooling. Atec Plus is connected to an existing water heater while Atec Total has an integrated 180 litre heater equipped with a TWS coil (Tap Water Stratificator) which gives more effective heat transfer and efficient layering of water in the heater.

3.1.9 Auxiliary heat The auxiliary heater is included in Atec Plus and Atec Total and is available as an accessory for Atec Standard. An auxiliary heater con‐ sists of an immersion heater, which is located on the supply pipe ahead of the reversing valve.

7–10°C. If the differences are greater or less, the heat pump is less efficient and savings are lower. The speed controlled circulation pump in Atec always ensures that the temperature difference is retained. The control equipment detects if the balance is upset and increases or decreases the speed of the circu‐...
Control system The heat pump has an integrated control system which automatically calculates the heating and cooling demand in the house to ensure that the correct amount of heating and cooling is produced and emitted where necessary. The control panel is operated using a keypad and information is shown in a display and by an indicator.
• Not lit, means that the heat pump is not powered. • When the green light shines continuously, the heat pump has power and is ready to produce heat, cooling or hot water. • Flashing green, means an active alarm. Display The display shows information about the heat pump’s operation, sta‐...

The following operating information may also appear: Message Meaning ROOM Shows the set ROOM value. Standard value: 20°C. If the accessory room sensor is installed it shows the actual temperature and the desired indoor temperature is shown within brackets.

Settings and adjustments The installer carries out the basic settings of the heat pump at installa‐ tion. A number of settings and adjustments that you can carry out yourself are described below. Before changing the control computer’s settings, first find out what these changes mean.
Operating mode Meaning HOT WATER In this mode the heat pump only produces hot water, no heat goes to the heating system. MANUAL TEST Only displayed when the value for MANUAL TEST is set to 2 in The SERVICE menu. Outputs that control components are activated manually.
tively. When you increase the CURVE value, the heat curve will become steeper and when you reduce it, it will become flatter. This is the most energy and cost efficient way to set the indoor tem‐ perature and should therefore be used for long term temperature set‐ tings.

Parameter Description HEAT STOP This function stops all production of heat when the outdoor temperature is equal to, or higher than, the set heat stop value. SETBACK The temperature that will apply at temperature setback con‐ TEMP trolled from the CALENDAR menu. High temperatures in an underfloor heating system can damage parquet floors.
Press either the + or - button once to open and change the ROOM value. Raise or reduce the ROOM value using the + or - buttons to change the indoor temperature. Wait ten seconds or press the left button once to exit the menu. Distribution circuit 1 and 2 In addition to the main circuit for heating and cooling two distribution circuits can be controlled individually.
Reading off temperatures The set point value for the supply line and the OP. DATA max value of the return line is shown within OUTDOOR 0˚C ROOM 20˚C brackets The max value indicates the tempera‐ SUPPLY LINE 38(40)˚C RETURN LINE 34(55)˚C ture at which the compressor is stopped.
