1 Description of the unit

1.1 Package 1.2 Definitions

• 1 package : Outside unit. Split: The heat pump consists of two elements (an
outside unit for outside and a hydraulic module for
• 1 package : hydraulic module and outdoor sensor. inside the dwelling).
Air/water: The surrounding air is the energy source. This
energy is transmitted to the water in the heating circuit
by the heat pump.
Inverter: the fan and compressor speeds are modulated
according to the heating requirements.
This technology enables you to save on energy and
operate on a single-phase power supply, whatever the
heat pump’s output, by avoiding heavy intensities on
start-up.
COP (coefficient of performance): this is the relationship
between the energy transmitted to the heating circuit
and electrical energy consumed.

2.9.4 Cable section and protection rating

The cable sections are given for information purposes only and do not exempt the installer from checking that these
sections correspond to the requirements and comply with the prevailing standards.

• Power supply to outside unit

S13 4600 W 3 x 4 mm² 25 A
S16 5980 W 3 x 6 mm² 32 A

• Interconnection between the outside unit and the hydraulic module. The hydraulic module is powered by the
outside unit by means of a 4 x 1.5 mm² cable (Phase, Neutral, Earth, Communication bus).
• Power supply to the electrical back-ups
The hydraulic module contains two stages of electrical back-ups installed in a heat exchange cylinder.

• Outdoor sensor, room thermostat and room control unit

For the outdoor sensor, use a 2 x 0.75 mm² cable.
For the room thermostat, use a 2 x 0.5 mm² telephone type cable.
For the room control unit, use a 3 x 0.5 mm² telephone type cable.

heating (as an economy measure).
During summer mode, the display shows "Eco". This function is only active in automatic mode.

732 S Limit of daily heating -10 °C... 10 °C 1 °C -3 °C

This function enables you partially to offset the automatic summer / winter switchover during the intermediate seasons.
Increasing the value delays the switchover to summer regime.
Decreasing the value advances the switchover to summer regime.
This function is only active in automatic mode.
