Español

For information regarding application of the CIAT warranty, please see the General Sales Conditions.

1.5 Safety recommendations

To avoid all risks of accidents at the time of installation, starting-up and adjustment operations, it is essential to take into consi-
deration the specific aspects of the equipment such as:
- Cooling circuit under pressure
- Presence of refrigerant
- Presence of electrical voltage
- Location
- Surface temperatures of up to 150°C
Only experienced, qualified persons can work on this type of equipment. It is essential to comply with the recommendations and
instructions to be found in the maintenance manuals, on specific labels or in specific instructions.
All standards and regulations in force must be complied with at all times.
IMPORTANT: before carrying out any work on the unit, make sure that the unit has been disconnected from the electrical power
supply.

40
1.6 Unit location
Before handling, installing and connecting the unit, the installer must check the following points:

- These units must be installed in the open air, close to the building, on a flat roof or in a garden.

They are designed to operate in the rain, but they can also be installed under a roof, with four sides open.

If the unit is dedicated to run more in heating mode than cooling mode, it is preferable to locate the unit in the sun. If the unit is
dedicated to run more in cooling mode, it is preferable to install the unit on the northen side of the building.
- The surface of the ground or the structure must be strong enough to bear the weight of the unit.
- Place the unit above the average snow depth for the region where the unit is being installed.
- The unit must be set perfectly level.
- The unit must be fully accessible to enable servicing and maintenance work to be carried out easily.
- There must be no obstacles preventing free air circulation around the air heat exchanger (intake and outlet).

Noise level: our units have been designed to operate at low noise levels. Nonetheless, it is necessary to make sure, at

Français
the installation design stage, that the outside environment is suitable for radiated noise and that the type of building is
suitable for airborne and solid-borne noise (vibrations).

Have a study carried out by an acoustician if necessary.

1.7 Weight and handling

Once the location has been selected for the unit, install the equipment. Take the weight and the overall measurements of the
unit into account (see the Technical characteristics table in chapter 2.1 and the measurements in chapter 2.3).
Attention: lift the unit carefully and keep it upright at all times.

1.8 Hydraulic connections

Français

A sizing study must be carried out to ensure that the operating conditions are complied with (output - head losses).
The diameter of the tubes may differ from that provided for on the unit.

Outlet for condensate water in heating mode:

Attention, if you use this outlet when the outside temperature is
below 0°C, make sure that you take all necessary precautions to avoid
the risk of the water freezing in the outlet pipe. Diameter 25 mm

We recommend using a heating

cable in the event of negative

at least once a year.
Español

Flexibles
The pipes must not transmit any forces. We recommend the use of [are] mandatory flexibles to connect the water pipes, to redu-
ce to the minimum the level of vibrations transmitted from the unit to the building via the pipes. They must be fitted if the unit
is installed on resilient mounts. The pipes must be insulated carefully to avoid heat transfer and condensation.

restricting troubles.

42
Frost Protection

To protect your installation and avoid any risk of frost in the event of a deliberate or accidental shut-
down of the heating system, you are strongly advised to:
either drain the hydraulic circuit (by disconnecting the unit's inlet and outlet).
or take the following precautions
Protect your indoor hydraulic circuit with a water/antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor mixture (possibly a biocide).
To do this, you can use monopropylene glycol based heat transfer fluids or ones based on a natural compound
containing one or more corrosion inhibitors (never use monopropylene glycol alone without a corrosion inhibitor).
Do not use a monoethylene glycol based product (toxic product).
You can use either::
ready-to-use solutions
or products that have to be diluted
If you use a neat product that has to be diluted, observe the following precautions:
Never introduce the neat antifreeze and then the water separately.

Français
Always prepare the correctly proportioned water/antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor mixture in the appropriate vessel
before introducing it into the system.

PROCEDURE
1- Preparing the installation to be protected:
At a minimum, thoroughly rinse the installation by hydraulic flushing.
Leaching with a suitable product is recommended (type of product depends on the materials used in the
installation).
After the final rinse, drain the installation completely.
L With a radiant floor, the water should only be flushed out of the hydraulic loops

English
with a pressurised neutral gas (compressed air, nitrogen).
2- Introducing the water/antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor mixture and pressurisation by hydraulic pump
Drain the installation completely.
Circulate the mixture throughout the installation for at least 2 hours before starting up the heat pumps.
Check the final mixture with a densimeter or a refractometre.

3- Check the pH using litmus paper or a pH-meter

4- Attach a label showing:

D e u t s ch
that the installation contains an antifreeze;
the name of the product and the supplier;
the proportion and the pH on first use.
L If a make-up is required, the mixture must be identical to the initial product.
L Annual maintenance: pH and proportioning check

The water must be analysed and treated if necessary (we recommend asking a specialist qualified in water treat-
ment to carry out this task). The analysis enables you to find out whether the water is compatible with the various
materials in the unit that are in contact with the water and avoid all phenomena of galvanic couples:
- Tubes made of 99.9% copper with copper and silver brazing
- Threaded bronze couplings or flat steel flanges depending on the types of unit
- Plate heat exchangers and connections made of AISI 316 - 1.4401 stainless steel with copper and silver brazing.
In the event of a major problem, electrolytic couplings are obtainable from specialist distributors.
To ensure correct operation of your installation, especially when your Aqualis is located at the high point,
it is essential to bleed the system when it is put into service. This can be done either by opening the
Putting
manual bleeder valve (located under the unit cover) when starting up, or by installing a water pipe and
into service: an automatic bleeder valve above the level of the Aqualis.

1.10 Selection of the circulation pump speed

On all the Aqualis models, the circulation pump provides a choice of 3
speeds. Determine the suitable pump speed, depending on the head
loss in the installation and the graphs showing the pressure available
for the unit.
To modify the speed of the circulation pump:
* Either turn the knurled wheel on the circulation pump,
* Or remove the cover of the circulation pump and reposition
the plug-in contact.

floor regulation type.
The recommended height is 1.5m in an accessible place, sheltered from heat sour-
ces (chimney, sun influence) and air draughts (windows, doors). (Fig. 1) 5
Fixing
In order to mount the unit on the wall, the base must be removed as indicated on
fig. 2. Separated from the box, the base must be fixed to the wall by using
screws/pegs assemblies or on a recessed box (60 mm between axis) by using the Fig. 2

 B - AUXILIARY SYSTEM WITH A BOILER

Preliminary remarks
Corrosion of the boiler's parts:
Some boiler's parts, like steel body, could be damaged by the corrosion.
In that case, please contact a trade representative of your boiler to be sure about the compatibility between your boiler's parts
and the microconnect regulation.
Advices :
- No simultaneous operation of Heat pump and boiler if the water temperature is less than 40°C. If P6 equal 5, in case of doubt,
set P7 and P9 at the same value.
- Don't shunt the anti-corrosion safeties of your boiler (eg : circulation pump stopped until the burner temperature
rises above 40°C).

B1 Boiler controled by its own regulation P6 = 3 or 4

Français
Standard application : boiler with an advanced electronic regulation.
If P6 equal 3 or 4 the Microconnect regulator gives only to the boiler a contact of operation authorization.

This contact (terminal strip J1 - terminals 1 and 5) is closed when the outside temperature goes under the P9 value or when the
Heat pump is in default. When the contact is closed the boiler's burner is controlled by the boiler's regulation.

2 levels of faults: temporary and permanent

Temporary faults lead to operation of the unit in degraded mode with a flashing display of the type of fault on the terminal
display unit. No memorization of temporary faults or permanent closing of the fault relay (except for terminal link faults).
Permanent faults lead to stoppage of the unit, and triggering of the auxiliary systems (if authorized) with steady display of the
type of fault on the terminal display unit. Memorization of the faults in the case of a power failure and permanent closing of the
fault relay. Fault management remains active in test mode.

3.9 - TEST MODE

This mode is validated when P30 = 1 and cancelled after one hour (P30 returns to 0).

In this case:
• P9 and P7 are cancelled
• The anti short cycle (minimum stopping time) = 30 seconds, starting + stopping time = 0.
• The 30-minute waiting time following an HP fault (or freon battery sensor fault) are reduced to the value of the anti short
cycle time, i.e. 30 s.
• The frosting time delay is counted in seconds.
• The time delay for triggering of the auxiliary systems is reduced from 80 seconds to 5 seconds.
