The image shows UKV flow equalisation.

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module - Climate system6

ADDITION
On cold days of the year, when the availability of energy from the air is lower, the additional heating can compensate and help to produce heat. The additional heating is also good to have as assistance, if the heat pump ends up outside its working range or if it has been blocked for any reason.
Step-controlled/shunt-controlled additional heat
SMO S40 can, via a control signal, control step-controlled or shunt-controlled additional heat, which can also be prioritised.
The additional heat is used for heat production.NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control
Module - Climate system7

Step-controlled additional heat before QN10
The additional heat is connected before the reversing valve (QN10) and is controlled via a control signal from SMO S40.
The additional heat can be used for producing both hot water and heating.
The installation is supplemented with a supply temperature sensor after additional heat (BT63).

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module - connections3

Sensors
Temperature sensor installation on pipe

The temperature sensors are fitted using heat conducting paste, cable ties (the first cable tie is secured to the pipe in the middle of the sensor and the other cable tie is mounted approx. 5 cm after the sensor) and aluminium tape. Then insulate them using the enclosed insulation tape.
Outside sensor
The outdoor temperature sensor (BT1) is placed in the shade on a wall facing north or north-west, so it is unaffected, for example, by the morning sun.
Connect the outdoor temperature sensor to terminal block AA100-X10:1 and AA100-X11:GND.
If a conduit is used it must be sealed to prevent condensation in the sensor capsule.

Temperature sensor, hot water charging
The temperature sensor, hot water charging (BT6) is placed in the submerged tube on the water heater. Connect the sensor to terminal block AA100-X10:3 and AA100-X11:GND.
Settings for hot water are made in menu 2 “Hot water”.

Temperature sensor, hot water top
A temperature sensor for hot water top (BT7) can be connected to SMO S40 to show the water temperature at the top of the tank (if it is possible to install a sensor at the top of the tank).
Connect the sensor to terminal block AA100-X10:4 and AA100-X11:GND.

External return line sensor
Connect an external return line sensor (BT71) to terminal block AA100-X10:6 and AA100-X11:GND.

External supply temperature sensor
Connect an external supply temperature sensor (BT25) to terminal block AA100-X10:5 and AA100-X11:GND.

Room sensor
SMO S40 is supplied with an enclosed room sensor (BT50) that makes it possible to display and control the room temperature.
Fit the room sensor in a neutral position where a set temperature is required. A suitable location might be, for example, on a free inner wall in a hall approx. 1.5 m above the floor. It is important that the room sensor is not obstructed from measuring the correct room temperature, for example by being located in a recess, between shelves, behind a curtain, above or close to a heat source, in a draught from an external door or in direct sunlight. Closed radiator thermostats can also cause problems.
SMO S40 operates without room sensor, but if you want to read the home’s indoor temperature from the display on SMO S40, the room sensor must be fitted. Connect the room sensor to terminal block AA100-X10:2 and AA100-X11:GND.
If a room sensor is to be used to change the room temperature in °C and/or to fine-tune the room temperature, the sensor must be activated in menu 1.3 – “Room sensor settings”.
If a room sensor is used in a room with underfloor heating, it should only have an indicatory function, not control of the room temperature.

Caution
Changes of temperature in accommodation take time. For example, short time periods in combination with underfloor heating will not give a noticeable difference in room temperature.
Pulse energy meter
Up to three electricity meters (BE6, BE7, BE8) or energy meters for heating (BF2, BF3, BF1) can be connected to SMO S40 via terminal block and AA100-X14:8-9, AA100X14:10-11 and AA100-X14:6-7.
Caution
The EMK accessory is connected to the same terminal blocks as electricity meters/energy meters.

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module - Outside sensor6

Activate the meter(s) in menu 7.2 – “Accessory settings” and then set the desired value (“Energy per pulse” or “Pulses per kWh”) in menu 7.2.19 -“Pulse energy meter”.
Load monitor
Integrated load monitor
SMO S40 is equipped with a simple form of integrated load monitor, which limits the power steps for the electric additional heat by calculating whether future power steps can be connected to the relevant phase without exceeding the current for the specified main fuse. In those cases where the current would exceed the specified main fuse, the power step is not permitted. The size of the property’s main fuse is specified in menu 7.1.9 – “Load monitor”.
Load monitor with current sensor
When many power-consuming products are connected in the property at the same time as the electric additional heat is operating, there is a risk that the property’s main fuse will trip. SMO S40 is equipped with a load monitor that, with the help of a current sensor, controls the power steps for the electric additional heat by redistributing the power between the different phases or disengages the electric additional heat if there is an overload in a phase. Reconnection occurs when the other current consumption drops.
Caution
Activate phase detection in menu 7.1.9 for full functionality, if current sensors are installed.
Connecting current sensors
NOTE
If the installed air/water heat pump is frequency controlled, it will be limited when all power stages are disconnected.
A current sensor should be installed on each incoming phase conductor in to the distribution box to measure the current.
The distribution box is an appropriate installation point.
Connect the current sensors to a multi-core cable in an enclosure directly adjacent to the electrical distribution unit.
The multi-core cable between the enclosure and SMO S40 must have a cable area of at least 0.5 mm².

Connect the sensor to terminal block AA100-X14:BE1-BE3 and to any terminal block on AA100-X13:GND.

Step controlled additional heat
NOTE
If external voltage is used, mark any junction boxes with warnings for external voltage.
Step-controlled additional heat before the reversing valve
External step-controlled additional heat can be controlled by up to three potential-free relays in the control module (3 step linear or 7 step binary).
The electric additional heat will charge with the maximum number of steps, together with the compressor, to finish the hot water charging and return to charging the heating as soon as possible. This only occurs when the number of degree minutes is below the start value for the additional heat.
See section “Max load relay outputs on AA100”.
Step-controlled additional heat after the reversing valve
External step-controlled additional heat can be controlled by two relays (2 step linear or 3 step binary), which means that the third relay is used to control the immersion heater in the water heater/accumulator tank.
With the AXC 30 accessory, a further three potential-free relays can be used for additional heat control, which then gives an additional 3 linear or 7 binary steps.
Step in occurs with at least 1 minute interval and step outs with at least 3 seconds interval.
Step 1 is connected to terminal block AA100-X8:1.
Step 2 is connected to terminal block AA100-X8:2.
Step 3 is connected to terminal block AA100-X8:3.
The settings for step controlled additional heat are made in menu 7.1.5.
If the relays are to be used for control voltage, bridge the supply from terminal block AA100-X4:L to terminal block
AA100-X8:C. Connect the neutral conductor to AA100-X3:N.

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module - Outside sensor9

Shunt controlled additional heat
NOTE
Mark up any junction boxes with warnings for external voltage.
This connection enables an external additional heater, e.g.
an oil boiler, gas boiler or district heating exchanger to aid with heating.
SMO S40 controls a shunt valve and start signal for the additional heat using three relays. If the installation cannot manage to maintain the correct supply temperature, the additional heat starts. When the boiler sensor (BT52) shows 55 °C, SMO S40 sends a signal to the shunt (QN11) to open from the additional heat. The shunt (QN11) is controlled to ensure that the true supply temperature corresponds with the control system’s theoretically calculated set point value.
When the heating demand drops sufficiently, so additional heat is no longer required, the shunt (QN11) closes completely.
Factory-set minimum operating time for the boiler is 12 hours (can be adjusted in menu 7.1.5).
The settings for shunt controlled additional heat are made in menu 7.1.5.
The boiler sensor (BT52) is connected to selectable AUX inputs and selected in menu 7.4.

Setting the cooling/heating curve
In the menus “Curve, heating” and “Curve, cooling”, you can see the heating and cooling curves for your house. The
purpose of the curves is to provide an even indoor temperature, regardless of the outdoor temperature, and thereby energy-efficient operation. Based on these curves, SMO S40 determines the temperature of the water to the climate system (the supply temperature) and thus the indoor temperature.
CURVE COEFFICIENT
The slopes of the heating /cooling curves indicate how many degrees the supply temperature is to be increased/reduced when the outdoor temperature drops/increases. A steeper slope means a higher supply temperature for heating or a lower supply temperature for cooling at a certain outdoor temperature.

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module -
Framledningstempereratur

The optimum curve slope depends on the climate conditions in your location, whether the house has radiators, fan coils or underfloor heating and how well insulated the house is.
The heating/cooling curves are set when the heating/cooling system is installed, but may need adjusting later. Thereafter, the curves should not need further adjustment.
CURVE OFFSET
An offset of the heating curve means that the supply temperature changes by the same amount for all outdoor temperatures, e.g. a curve offset of +2 steps increases the supply temperature by 5 °C at all outdoor temperatures. A corresponding change to the cooling curve results in a lowering of the supply temperature.

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module -
Framledningstempereratur1

SUPPLY TEMPERATURE – MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM VALUES
Because the supply temperature cannot be calculated higher than the set maximum value or lower than the set minimum value, the curves flatten out at these temperatures.

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module -
Framledningstempereratur3

Caution
With underfloor heating systems, the maximum supply temperature is normally set between 35 and 45 °C.
Caution
Must be restricted with underfloor cooling min.

ADJUSTMENT OF CURVE

NIBE SMO S40 Indoor Control Module - ADJUSTMENT OF
CURVE

  1. Select the climate system (if more than one) for which the curve is to be changed.
  2. Select curve and offset.
  3. Select max and min supply temperature.
    Caution
    Curve 0 means that “Own curve” is used.
    Settings for “Own curve” are made in menu 1.30.7.

TO READ OFF A HEATING CURVE

  1. Drag in the circle on the axis with outdoor temperature.
    1 A low-temperature radiator system refers to a system where the supply temperature needs to be 55 °C on the coldest day.
    2 Underfloor heating may be dimensioned very differently. The above example refers to a system where the supply temperature needs to be approximately 35 – 40 °C or 45 – 50 °C on the coldest day.

  2.  Read off the value for supply temperature in the circle on the other axis.

BASIC VALUES FOR THE AUTOMATIC HEATING CONTROL
The values stated on the map apply to “Curve, heating” in menu 1.30.1.

  • The first value applies to low temperature radiator systems 1
    . ” Temperature” in menu 1.1 must be set to -2.

  • The value in brackets refers to underfloor heating systems 2 installed in concrete floor structures.

  • When the system is installed in a timber floor structure, you can use the number before the brackets, although this value must be reduced by two units. “Temperature” in menu 1.1 is set to -1 in these cases.

Caution
The map’s values are usually a good starting point and are intended to produce a room temperature of approximately 20 °C. The values can be adjusted later, if necessary.
Examples of basic values selection:

  • House with low temperature radiator system London = Area 15 (8).
    Set 15 in menu 1.30.1, “Curve, heating” and -2 in menu 1.1 ” Temperature”.

  • House with underfloor heating installed in a concrete floor structure London = Area 15 (8).
    Set 8 in menu 1.30.1, “Curve, heating” and -2 in menu 1.1 ” Temperature”.

  • House with underfloor heating installed in a timber floor structure London = Area 15 (8).
    Set 13 (see third item in the list above) in menu 1.30.1, “Curve, heating” and -1 in menu 1.1 ” Temperature”.

Caution
An increase in the room temperature can be slowed by the thermostats for the radiators or under floor heating. Therefore, open the thermostat valves fully, except in those rooms where a cooler temperature is required, e.g. bedrooms.

Cooling in 2-pipe system SMO S40 contains a built-in function for operating cooling in a 2-pipe system down to 7 °C. This requires that the outdoor unit can perform cooling. (See the Installer Manual for your air/water heat pump.) If the outdoor module is permitted to run cooling, the cooling menus are activated in the display on SMO S40.
For operating mode “cooling” to be permitted, the average temperature must be above the set value for “start cooling” in menu 7.1.10.2 “Auto mode setting”. The alternative is to activate cooling by selecting “manual” operating mode in menu 4.1 “Operating mode”.
The cooling settings for the climate system are adjusted in the indoor climate menu, menu 1.
MENU 1.30.3 – EXTERNAL ADJUSTMENT
Climate system
Setting range: -10 – 10
Setting range (if room sensor is installed): 5 – 30 °C Connecting an external contact, for example, a room thermostat or a timer allows you to temporarily or periodically raise or lower the room temperature. When the contact is on, the heat curve offset is changed by the number of steps selected in the menu. If a room sensor is installed and activated the desired room temperature (°C) is set.
If there is more than one climate system, the setting can be made separately for each system and zone.
MENU 1.30.4 – LOWEST SUPPLY HEATING
heating
Setting range: 5 – 80 °C
Set the minimum temperature on the supply temperature to the climate system. This means that SMO S40 never calculates a temperature lower than that set here.
If there is more than one climate system the setting can be made separately for each system.
MENU 1.30.5 – LOWEST SUPPLY COOLING
cooling (heat pump with cooling function required)
Setting range 7 – 30 °C
Alarm, room sensor during cooling operation
Setting range: on/off
Set the minimum temperature on the supply temperature to the climate system. This means that SMO S40 never calculates a temperature lower than that set here.
If there is more than one climate system the setting can be made separately for each system.
Here, you can receive alarms during cooling operation, for example if a room sensor malfunctions.
NOTE
Cooling flow line must be set with regard to which climate system is connected. For example, floor cooling with too low cooling flow line can cause condensation precipitation, which in the worst instance could lead to moisture damage.
MENU 1.30.6 – HIGHEST SUPPLY HEAT
climate system
Setting range: 5 – 80 °C
Here, you set the highest supply temperature for the climate system. This means that SMO S40 never calculates a temperature higher than the one set here.
If there is more than one climate system the setting can be made separately for each system. Climate systems 2 – 8 cannot be set to a higher max supply temperature than climate system 1.
Caution
With underfloor heating systems, “Maximum supply temperature for heating” should normally be set between 35 and 45°C.
MENU 1.30.7 – OWN CURVE
Own curve, heat
Supply temp
Setting range: 5 – 80 °C
Caution
Curve 0 must be selected for own curve to apply.
You can create your own heating curve here, if there are special requirements, by setting the desired supply temperatures for different outdoor temperatures.
Own curve, cooling
Supply temp
Setting range: -5 – 40 °C
Caution
Curve 0 must be selected for own curve to apply.
You can create your own cooling curve here, if there are special requirements, by setting the desired supply temperatures for different outdoor temperatures.
MENU 1.30.8 – POINT OFFSET
outdoor temp. point Setting range: -40 – 30 °C change in curve Setting range: -10 – 10 °C
Select a change in the heating curve at a certain outdoor temperature here. One step is usually enough to change the room temperature by one degree, but in some cases several steps may be required.
The heating curve is affected at ± 5°C from set outdoor temp. point.
It is important that the correct heating curve is selected so that the room temperature is experienced as even.
TIP
If it feels cold in the house at e.g. -2°C, “outdoor temp. point” is set to “-2” and “change in curve” is increased until the desired room temperature is maintained.
Caution
Wait 24 hours before making a new setting, so that the room temperature has time to stabilise.

Disturbances in comfort

In most cases, SMO S40 notes a malfunction (a malfunction can lead to disruption in comfort) and indicates this with alarms, and instructions for action, in the display.
Info-menu
All the control module’s measurement values are gathered under menu 3.1 – “Operating info” in the control module’s menu system. Examining the values in this menu can often make it easier to identify the source of the fault.
Manage alarm
In the event of an alarm, a malfunction has occurred and the status lamp shines with a steady red light. You receive information about the alarm in the smartguide on the display.

ALARM
In the event of an alarm with a red status lamp, a malfunction has occurred that SMO S40 cannot remedy itself. On the display, you can see what type of alarm it is and reset it. In many cases, it is sufficient to select “Reset alarm and try again” for the installation to revert to normal operation. If a white light comes on after selecting “Reset alarm and try again”, the alarm has been remedied. “Auxiliary operation” is a type of emergency mode. This means that the installation attempts to produce heat and/or hot water, even though there is some kind of problem. This could mean that the heat pump’s compressor is not in operation. In this case, any electric additional heat produces heat and/or hot water.
Caution
To select “Auxiliary operation”, an alarm action must be selected in menu 7.1.8.1 – “Alarm actions”.
Caution
Selecting “Auxiliary operation” is not the same as correcting the problem that caused the alarm. The status lamp will therefore remain red.
Troubleshooting
If the operational interference is not shown in the display the following tips can be used:
Basic actions
Start by checking the following items:

  • The installation’s group and main fuses.
  • The building’s earth circuit breaker.
  • Correctly set load monitor.
