NOTE ■ An ERLQ0*BA outdoor unit can only be

connected to an EKHBH/XE008BA indoor unit
(bottom plate heater at outdoor unit has to be
controlled by indoor unit).
■ An ERHQ0*BA outdoor unit can be connected to
an EKHBH/XE008BA indoor unit or to an
EKHBH/XE008AA indoor unit (if a bottom plate
heater kit is required, see "Possible options" on
page 2).

2 Required heating capacity (site dependent)
TD Design temperature
TA Ambient (outdoor) temperature
PH Heating capacity
■ At selection of the heat pump, the heat pump capacity
must match:
- the required space heating capacity of the lowest
expected outdoor ambient temperature.
AND
- the domestic hot water demand when installing the
optional domestic hot water tank.
■ The backup heater capacity and the optional booster
heater capacity are not supplementary to the heat
pump capacity. The total capacity of the system
equals the capacity of the heat pump and not the sum
of heat pump and backup heater capacity and the
optional booster heater capacity.
Emergency backup heater operation always has
priority over compressor or booster heater operation.
Emergency backup heater operation occurs because of:
■ User request to heat up water to the space heating
loops. The temperature of this water is too low and is
out of the operation range (during initial start-up for
example). Refer to "Initial start-up at low outdoor
ambient temperatures" on page 22 and "Re-start at
low outdoor ambient temperatures" on page 22.
■ During heating operation the water temperature
becomes too low and drops out of the operation
range. Refer to "Checking the water volume and
expansion vessel pre-pressure" on page 15 to
minimize the backup heater operation.
■ Malfunction of the heat pump unit.
If during backup heater operation the heating load is higher
than the heater capacity, the water temperature can not
increase. In this case refer to "Re-start at low outdoor
ambient temperatures" on page 22.
Domestic hot water tank (option)
An optional EKHW* domestic hot water tank with integrated 3 kW
electrical booster heater can be connected to the indoor unit. The
domestic hot water tank is available in three sizes: 150, 200 and
300 litre. Refer to the domestic hot water tank installation manual for
further details.
Simultaneous operation of compressor, backup heater and
booster heater is NOT possible. Read attentively following
warnings to understand the unit operation.
Installation manual
2 4PW56301-1A
Balance between space heating/cooling demand and
domestic hot water demand
■ Only if the unit is correctly sized then at some point
during space cooling/heating operation the unit will
reach the requested setpoint. When this occurs,
domestic water heating by compressor becomes
possible.
To ensure domestic hot water production, the
schedule timers must be used to disable space
heating/cooling. Refer to the operation manual on how
to program the schedule timers.
■ Booster heater operation is only possible when the
compressor of the heatpump is not operating. The
compressor operates because of space
cooling/heating demand or because of domestic
water heating.
To ensure domestic hot water production, the
schedule timers must be used to disable space
heating/cooling. Refer to the operation manual on how
to program the schedule timers.
■ If using a room thermostat, domestic water heating by
compressor or by booster heater is NOT possible as
long as the room thermostat demands cooling or
heating.
In this case de-activate the room thermostat demand
by its schedule timer.
Refer to the manual of the room thermostat for a
detailed explanation how to de-activate space
cooling/heating by schedule timer, or refer to the
separate addendum for an example of the Daikin
room thermostat schedule timer programming.
Drain pan kit (option)
For heating/cooling versions (EKHBX), it is necessary to install the
EKHBDP drain pan kit.
For more information concerning the drain pan kit, refer to
"Installation of the EKHBDP drain pan kit (only for EKHBX models)"
on page 14.
Solar kit for domestic hot water tank (option)
For information concerning the EKSOLHW solar kit, refer to the
installation manual of that kit.
Digital I/O PCB kit (option)
An optional EKRP1HB digital I/O PCB can be connected to the
indoor unit and allows:
■ remote alarm output
■ heating/cooling ON/OFF output
■ bivalent operation (permission signal for the auxiliary boiler)
Refer to the operation manual of the indoor unit and to the installation
manual of the digital I/O PCB for more information.
Refer to the wiring diagram or connection diagram for connecting this
PCB to the unit.
Remote thermostat kit (option)
An optional room thermostat EKRTW, EKRTWA, or EKRTR can be
connected to the indoor unit. Refer to the installation manual of the
room thermostat for more information.

Pump operation and space heating OVERVIEW OF THE INDOOR UNIT
When the room thermostat for the floor heating loop (T1) and the fan
coil units (T2) are connected to the indoor unit, the pump (4) will
operate when there is a request for heating from T1 and/or T2. The Opening the indoor unit

When the room temperature of both zones is above the thermostat

set point, the outdoor unit and pump will stop operating.

NOTE ■ Make sure to connect the thermostat wires to the

correct terminals (see "Overview of the indoor
unit" on page 9).
■ Make sure to configure the field settings [7-02],
[7-03] and [7-04] correctly. Refer to "Dual set point
control" on page 26.
■ Make sure to configure the DIP switch SS2-3 on
the PCB of the EKHBH switch box correctly. Refer
to "Room thermostat installation configuration" on
page 21.

NOTE ■ The request signals for space heating can be

implemented in two different ways (installer
choice).
- Thermo ON/OFF signal from room thermostat
- Status signal (active/not active) from the
mixing station
■ It is the installers responsibility to make sure no
unwanted situations can occur (e.g. too high
water temperatures towards floor heating loops,
etc.)
■ Daikin does not offer any type of mixing station.
Dual set point control only provides the possibility
to use two set points.
■ When only zone A request heating, zone B will be
fed with water at a temperature equal to the first
set point.
This can lead to unwanted heating of zone B.
■ When only zone B request heating, the mixing
station will be fed with water at a temperature
equal to the second set point.
Depending on the control of the mixing station,
the floor heating loop can still receive water at a
temperature equal to set point of the mixing
station.
Be aware that the actual water temperature through the
floor heating loops depends on the control and setting of
the mixing station.
Make sure to fix the cover with the screws when installing
the cover (screws are delivered as accessory).
Parts inside the unit can be hot.
■ To gain access to the switch box components – e.g. to connect
the field wiring – the switch box service panel can be removed.
Thereto, loosen the front screws and unhitch the switch box
service panel.
WARNING
■ Switch off all power supply – i.e. outdoor unit power
supply and backup heater and domestic hot water
tank power supply (if applicable) – before removing
the switch box service panel.
■ Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and
immediately after operation as the refrigerant pipes
may be hot or cold, depending on the condition of the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant piping,
compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your
hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the
refrigerant pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.
■ Do not touch the internal parts (pump, backup heater,
etc.) during and immediately after operation.
Your hands may suffer burns if you touch the internal
parts. To avoid injury, give the internal parts time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.

To determine the maximum allowed water volume in the entire circuit,
proceed as follows:
1 Determine for the calculated pre-pressure (Pg) the
corresponding maximum water volume using the graph below.

Connecting the water circuit
Water connections must be made in accordance with local
regulations and the outlook diagram delivered with the unit,
respecting the water in- and outlet.
NOTE Be careful not to deform the unit piping by using
excessive force when connecting the piping.
Deformation of the piping can cause the unit to
malfunction.
If air, moisture or dust gets in the water circuit, problems may occur.
Therefore, always take into account the following when connecting
the water circuit:
■ Use clean pipes only.
■ Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.
■ Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall so that no
dust and dirt enter.
■ Use a good thread sealant for the sealing of the connections.
The sealing must be able to withstand the pressures and

Example 1
The indoor unit is installed 5 m below the highest point in the water
circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 100 l.
In this example, no action or adjustment is required.
Example 2
The indoor unit is installed at the highest point in the water circuit.
The total water volume in the water circuit is 350 l.
Result:
■ Since 350 l is higher than 280 l, the pre-pressure must be
decreased (see table above).
■ The required pre-pressure is:
Pg = (H/10 + 0.3) bar = (0/10 + 0.3) bar = 0.3 bar
■ The corresponding maximum water volume can be read from
the graph: approximately 410 l.
■ Since the total water volume (350 l) is below the maximum water
volume (410 l), the expansion vessel suffices for the installation.
Setting the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel
When it is required to change the default pre-pressure of the
expansion vessel (1 bar), keep in mind the following guidelines:
■ Use only dry nitrogen to set the expansion vessel pre-pressure.
■ Inappropriate setting of the expansion vessel pre-pressure will
lead to malfunction of the system. Therefore, the pre-pressure
should only be adjusted by a licensed installer.
system. Application in an open water circuit can
lead to excessive corrosion of the water piping.
■ Never use Zn-coated parts in the water circuit.
Excessive corrosion of these parts may occur as
copper piping is used in the unit's internal water
circuit.
■ When using a 3-way valve in the water circuit.
It is very important to guarantee full separation
between domestic hot water and floor heating
water circuit.
■ When using a 3-way valve or a 2-way valve in the
water circuit, the maximum change over time of
the valve shall be less than 60 seconds.
Charging water
1 Connect the water supply to a drain and fill valve (see "Main
components" on page 10).
2 Make sure the automatic air purge valve is open (at least 2
turns).
3 Fill with water until the manometer indicates a pressure of
approximately 2.0 bar. Remove air in the circuit as much as
possible using the air purge valves. Air present in the water
circuit might cause malfunctioning of the backup heater.
4 Check that the backup heater vessel is filled with water by
opening the pressure relief valve. Water must flow out of the
valve.

When re-starting at low ambient temperature, it is important to
ensure that the unit operates within its operation range as soon as
possible (water temperature ≥30°C) by reducing the load as much as
possible during start-up. This procedure is applicable whenever the
water temperature is out of the operation range (e.g. after long period 11
of stand still, ...).
For example:

You can do this by switching off the fans of the fan coil units until the
water temperature has increased to 30°C.
OR
Check the power supply voltage on the local supply panel. The
voltage must correspond to the voltage on the identification label
of the unit.

[1] Weather dependent set point (heating operation only)
The weather dependent set point field settings define the parameters
for the weather dependent operation of the unit. When weather
dependent operation is active the water temperature is determined
automatically depending on the outdoor temperature: colder outdoor
temperatures will result in warmer water and vice versa. During
weather dependent operation, the user has the possibility to shift up
or down the target water temperature by a maximum of 5°C. See the
operation manual for more details on weather dependent operation.
■ [1-00] Low ambient temperature (Lo_A): low outdoor
temperature.
■ [1-01] High ambient temperature (Hi_A): high outdoor
temperature.
■ [1-02] Set point at low ambient temperature (Lo_Ti): the
target outgoing water temperature when the outdoor
temperature equals or drops below the low ambient
temperature (Lo_A).
Note that the Lo_Ti value should be higher than Hi_Ti, as for
colder outdoor temperatures (i.e. Lo_A) warmer water is
required.
■ [1-03] Set point at high ambient temperature (Hi_Ti): the
target outgoing water temperature when the outdoor
temperature equals or rises above the high ambient
temperature (Hi_A).
Note that the Hi_Ti value should be lower than Lo_Ti, as for
warmer outdoor temperatures (i.e. Hi_A) less warm water
suffices.
[2] Disinfection function
Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank.
The disinfection function disinfects the domestic hot water tank by
periodically heating the domestic hot water to a specific temperature.
CAUTION
The disinfection function field settings must be configured
by the installer according to local and national regulations.
■ [2-00] Operation interval: day(s) of the week at which the
domestic hot water should be heated.
■ [2-01] Status: defines whether the disinfection function is
turned on (1) or off (0).
■ [2-02] Start time: time of the day at which the domestic hot

Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank.
When the domestic hot water is heated and the domestic hot water
set point temperature (as set by the user) has been reached, the
booster heater will continue to heat the domestic hot water to a
temperature a few degrees above the set point temperature, i.e. the
booster heater OFF temperature. These extra degrees are specified
by the domestic hot water step length field setting. Correct setting
prevents the booster heater from repeatedly turning on and off (i.e.
chattering) to maintain the domestic hot water set point temperature.
Note: the booster heater will turn back on when the domestic hot
water temperature drops [7-01] (field setting) below the booster

It is very important that the water temperature to the
floor heating loops never becomes too high in heating
mode or never too cold in cooling mode. Failure to
observe this rule can result in construction damage or
discomfort. For example in cooling mode condensation
on the floor can occur when water towards the floor
heating loops is too cold (dew point).

TEST RUN AND FINAL CHECK
The installer is obliged to verify correct operation of the indoor and
outdoor unit after installation.
Final check
Before switching on the unit, read following recommendations:
■ When the complete installation and all necessary settings have
been carried out, close all front panels of the unit and refit the
indoor unit cover.
■ The service panel of the switch box may only be opened by a
licensed electrician for maintenance purposes.
Test run operation (manual)
If required, the installer can perform a manual test run operation at
any time to check correct operation of cooling, heating and domestic
water heating.
Procedure
1 Push the z button 4 times so the t icon will be displayed.
2 Depending on the indoor unit model, heating operation, cooling
operation or both must be tested as follows (when no action is
performed, the user interface will return to normal mode after 10
seconds or by pressing the z button once):
• To test the heating operation push the h/c button so the h
icon is displayed. To start the test run operation press the
y button.
• To test the cooling operation push the h/c button so the c
icon is displayed. To start the test run operation press the
y button.
• To test the domestic water heating operation push the v
button. The test run operation will start without pressing the
y button.
3 The test run operation will end automatically after 30 minutes or
when reaching the set temperature. The test run operation can
be stopped manually by pressing the z button once. If there are
misconnections or malfunctions, an error code will be displayed
on the user interface. Otherwise, the user interface will return to
normal operation.
4 To resolve the error codes, see "Error codes" on page 35.
To display the last resolved error code, push the z button
1 time. Push the z button again 4 times to return to
normal mode.
NOTE It is not possible to perform a test run if a forced
operation from the outdoor unit is in progress. Should
forced operation be started during a test run, the test
run will be aborted.

Maintenance activities
DANGER: ELECTRIC SHOCK
■ Before carrying out any maintenance or repair activity,
always switch off the circuit breaker on the supply
panel, remove the fuses or open the protection
devices of the unit.
■ Make sure that before starting any maintenance or
repair activity, also the power supply to the outdoor
unit is switched off.
■ Do not touch live parts for 10 minutes after the power
supply is turned off because of high voltage risk.
■ The heater of the compressor may operate even in
stop mode.
■ Please note that some sections of the electric
component box are hot.
■ Make sure you do not touch a conductive section.
■ Do not rinse the indoor unit. This may cause electric
shocks or fire.
■ When service panels are removed, live parts can be
easily touched by accident.
Never leave the unit unattended during installation or
servicing when service panel is removed.
Play it safe!
Touch a metal part by hand (such as the stop valve) in
order to eliminate static electricity and to protect the PCB
before performing service.
DANGER
Do not touch water pipes during and immediately after
operation as the pipes may be hot. Your hand may suffer
burns. To avoid injury, give the piping time to return to
normal temperature or be sure to wear proper gloves.
WARNING
■ Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and
immediately after operation as the refrigerant pipes
may be hot or cold, depending on the condition of the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant piping,
compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your
hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the
refrigerant pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.
■ Do not touch the internal parts (pump, backup heater,
etc.) during and immediately after operation.
Your hands may suffer burns if you touch the internal
parts. To avoid injury, give the internal parts time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.

The described checks must be executed at least once a year.
1 Water pressure
Check if the water pressure is above 1 bar. If necessary add
water.
2 Water filter
Clean the water filter.
3 Water pressure relief valve
Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve by
turning the red knob on the valve counter-clockwise:
■ If you do not hear a clacking sound, contact your local dealer.
■ In case the water keeps running out of the unit, close both
the water inlet and outlet shut-off valves first and then contact
your local dealer.
4 Pressure relief valve hose
Check that the pressure relief valve hose is positioned
appropriately to drain the water.
If the (optional) drain pan kit is installed, make sure that the
pressure relief valve hose end is positioned in the drain pan.
5 Backup heater vessel insulation cover
Check that the backup heater insulation cover is fastened tightly
around the backup heater vessel.
6 Domestic hot water tank pressure relief valve (field supply)
Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank.
Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve on the
domestic hot water tank.
7 Domestic hot water tank booster heater
Applies only to installations with a domestic hot water tank.
It is advisable to remove lime buildup on the booster heater to
extend its life span, especially in regions with hard water. To do
so, drain the domestic hot water tank, remove the booster heater
from the domestic hot water tank and immerse in a bucket (or
similar) with lime-removing product for 24 hours.
8 Indoor unit switch box
■ Carry out a thorough visual inspection of the switch box and
look for obvious defects such as loose connections or
defective wiring.
■ Check for correct operation of contactors K1M, K3M, K5M
(applications with domestic hot water tank only) by use of an
ohmmeter. All contacts of these contactors must be in open
position.

TROUBLESHOOTING
This section provides useful information for diagnosing and
correcting certain troubles which may occur in the unit.
This troubleshooting and related corrective actions may only be
carried out by your local technician.
General guidelines
Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, carry out a thorough
visual inspection of the unit and look for obvious defects such as
loose connections or defective wiring.
DANGER
When carrying out an inspection on the switch box of the
unit, always make sure that the main switch of the unit is
switched off.
When a safety device was activated, stop the unit and find out why
the safety device was activated before resetting it. Under no
circumstances safety devices may be bridged or changed to a value
other than the factory setting. If the cause of the problem cannot be
found, call your local dealer.
If the pressure relief valve is not working correctly and is to be
replaced, always reconnect the flexible hose attached to the pressure
relief valve, to avoid water dripping out of the unit!
NOTE For problems related to the optional solar kit for
domestic water heating, refer to the troubleshooting in
the installation manual of that kit.
DANGER
Do not touch water pipes during and immediately after
operation as the pipes may be hot. Your hand may suffer
burns. To avoid injury, give the piping time to return to
normal temperature or be sure to wear proper gloves.
WARNING
■ Do not touch the refrigerant pipes during and
immediately after operation as the refrigerant pipes
may be hot or cold, depending on the condition of the
refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant piping,
compressor, and other refrigerant cycle parts. Your
hands may suffer burns or frostbite if you touch the
refrigerant pipes. To avoid injury, give the pipes time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.
■ Do not touch the internal parts (pump, backup heater,
etc.) during and immediately after operation.
Your hands may suffer burns if you touch the internal
parts. To avoid injury, give the internal parts time to
return to normal temperature or, if you must touch
them, be sure to wear proper gloves.
