CIRCULATOR

The circulator of the heat pump can be set in the following operating modes:

  • operation on call by temperature controller
  • operating on call by temperature controller with periodic activation;
  • continuous operation (default); The circulator is switched off immediately if:
  • There is a manual reset pump block alarm, including the flow switch alarm;
  • With remote input in standby or off, the pump (if running) is always switched off with a delay equal to P02 in tenths of a minute (default P02=2) T

The circulator can be configured with P03 to operate independently from the compressor or on call. 0=continuous operation in heating/cooling mode(default P03=0) 1=operating on call by temperature controller Note: with active no-flow alarm in automatic reset, the circulator is on even if the compressor is off. The circulator is always on when the antifreeze heaters are running and if operation of the hydraulic pump in antifreeze is enabled. Antifreeze operation is enabled if the regulation temperature drops below P04 °C (default 5°C), and disables if the regulation temperature rises above P04+P05 °C (Default value P05=2,0°C). Note: It is possible to change the maximum and minimum speed of the circulator by adjusting parameters P07 and P08 respectively.

9.1 CONTINUOUS OPERATION [P03=0] – Default
The circulator is only off with the unit OFF, in all other cases it is always on.
9.2 OPERATION ON CALL FROM TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER [P03=1]
In this operating mode, the circulator is active on demand by the temperature controller, after a delay time of P01 seconds (default P01=30) from when the pump switched on, the compressor switches on as well.
Whereas when switching off, the pump is deactivated after a delay time of P02 minutes (default P02=2) from when the compressor switches off.
With automatic reset flow switch alarm triggered, the circulator is on even if the compressor is off.

Temperature controller

9.3 OPERATING ON CALL FROM TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER WITH PERIODIC ACTIVATION
The function is disabled if P17=0 (default).
If P03=1, the circulator turns on periodically for a time defined by the parameter P17 (in seconds) after a count, lasting a time set by parameter P16 (in minutes), activated when the pump switches off because temperature control fulfilled.
With automatic reset flow switch alarm triggered, the pump is on even if the compressor is off.
The periodical function is a suspended if the antifreeze protection trips.
9.4 PROPORTIONAL REGULATION OF THE CIRCULATOR
The speed of the circulator changes depending on the temperature difference between the inlet water and outlet water of the heat exchanger, according to the diagram below, where:

  • P07: Maximum speed = 100%
  • P08: Minimum speed = 75%
  • P09: modulating pump inlet/outlet water Delta T setting (°C) (according to model)
  • P10: Modulating pump Delta = 3°C (default)

MAXA I 290 Series Inverter Air Water Heat Pumps with Axial Fans -
Temperature controller1

The circulator is at maximum speed in DHW production.
Note: If the parameter r33 > 0, then the circulator can be running on call even to activate the system and/or sanitary heater, see par.10.8.
9.5 SYSTEM VENTING
Function used to vent the system, with the circulator at maximum speed.
To enable the function:

  • Controller OFF
  • Access the parameters PRG ->PSS ->PRG -> (enter Service password)
  • Press the UP and DOWN keys simultaneously for 3 seconds

The circulator switches on at maximum speed, and then switches off after 5 minutes.
The system venting cycle can be exited manually by pressing the MODE/ESC key, or by pressing the UP and DOWN keys simultaneously for 3 seconds.
During this function, the flow switch alarm is disabled, the maintenance technician must guarantee that there is water inside the system.

COMPRESSOR OR ACTIVATION LOGIC

The restart of compressors is in operation of a set point refered to the inlet water temperature. It is based on calculation of ∆T,set which is the difference between outlet water temperatures and inlet water temperatures, detected while the compressor for thermoregulation is turning off.
10.1 REGULATION IN COOLING MODE

  • Tw,out,set = adjusted setpoint in cooling;
  • Tw, in, set = value of the water inlet probe recorded at the instant the compressor switches off when setpoint is reached;
  • ∆T,set = Tw,out,set – Tw,in,set;
  • b05 = compressor delta cut-off set= 0°C (default);
  • b24 = cut-on hysteresis limitation;
  • b25 = delta cut-on compressor set= 3°C.

MAXA I 290 Series Inverter Air Water Heat Pumps with Axial Fans -
Temperature controller2

  • The compressor shutdown is set by the parameter b05: the compressor shutdown when Tw,out < Tw,out,set – b05
  • The compressor restart starts when Tw,out > (Tw,out,set + ∆T,set + b25)

EXCEPTION: The value of ∆T,set is limited by b24.
If ∆T,set >b24 (default value 7°), the compressors restart when: Tw,out > (Tw,out,set + b24 + b25).
10.2 REGULATION IN HEAT MODE

  • Tw,out,set = setting setpoint in heat mode
  • Tw, in, set = value of the water inlet probe recorded at the instant the compressor switches off when setpoint is reached.
  • ∆T,set = Tw,out,set – Tw,in,set
  •  b24 = cut-on hysteresis limitation;
  • b05 = compressor regulation delta cut-off = 0°C (default)
  • b25 = compressor regulation delta cut-on = 3°C

MAXA I 290 Series Inverter Air Water Heat Pumps with Axial Fans -
Temperature controller3

  • The compressor shutdown is regulated by parameter b05: the compressor shutdown when is regulated by parameter b05 Tw,out > Tw,out,set + b05
  • The compressor restart when: Tw,out < (Tw,out,set – ∆Tset – b25)
    EXCEPTION: The value of ∆T,set is limited by b24.
    If ∆T,set >b24 (default value 7°), the compressors restart when: Tw,out < (Tw,out,set – b24 – b25).

 FAN CONTROL OF THE FINNED EXCHANGER

Ventilation control is a function of condensing pressure in chiller mode, and a function of evaporating pressure in heat pump mode.
The regulation of ventilation is dependent on the operating conditions of the machine.
A pre-ventilation occurs every time the compressor switches on and off.

CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS

The following is a list of the functions which can be activated in the machine controller; not all of them can be selected simultaneously.
Values other than the default values can jeopardise proper operation of the unit. If in doubt on which value to set, contact our headquarters.
12.1 ANTIFREEZE PROTECTION HEATERS (IF KA ACCESSORY IS AVAILABLE)
If the optional KA kit is present, the function is active by default.
The water antifreeze heaters on the faces of the evaporator plates even activate with the machine off (but powered) when the delivery water temperature drops below r02 °C (default 4°C) in “heating” mode or below r03 °C (default 4°C) in “cooling” mode or when  witched “OFF”. The heaters are switched off when the temperature measured by the outlet water probe exceeds r02+r06 in “heating” or r03+r06 in “cooling” or when “OFF” (default value r06=2.0 °C).
The heating cable at the base of the machine activates when the outdoor air temperature drops below 3°C. It deactivates when the outdoor temperature rises above 5°C.
12.2 ENABLING DOMESTIC HOT WATER PRODUCTION
To activate the domestic hot water functions, connect a probe to be placed inside the tank to terminals X17.1-X17.2 (enabled as analogue input).
The sanitary function must be enabled after positioning and connecting the temperature probe.

ST6 can be activated via H17| 6| DHW temperature probe enabling
DO6 can be activated via H84| 6| DHW valve control

If the domestic hot water temperature is lower than its setting (set by default at 48°C, edited by accessing the menu PRG->Set->SAN) the machine activates the DHW valve and the compressor is set at maximum frequency, starting modulation one degree before the setting and switching off one degree after. When the set point is reached, the valve goes back to the rest condition and the compressor starts to regulate normally. Switching from utility water to domestic hot water, the working probe changes from “water outlet probe” to “DHW tank probe”. Switching from winter mode to sanitary mode, the compressor does not switch off and is brought to the maximum frequency established by the controller, whereas switching from summer mode to domestic hot water, the compressor is switched off and waits a safety time. Defrosting is always carried out in winter mode on the utility side, and never on the domestic hot water tank.
NOTE: -If H10 = 1/3/5. Switching off the unit by remote control (remote on-off, see paragraph 10.4.1) does not affect domestic hot water operation. The unit goes to priority sanitary mode just powered on. The display on the machine shows the temperature detected by the probe inside the DHW tank. When the sanitary cycle has finished, the display goes back to showing the water outlet probe temperature. If the remote ON-OFF digital input (terminals 15.1 / 15.2) is open, with sanitary function enabled (H10=1 and H20=6), the wording “SAN” will appear on the machine display. When the sanitary cycle has finished, the display goes back to showing “E00” indicating that the remote ON-OFF contact is open. -If H10 = 2/4/6, the remote on-off function disables domestic hot water production and operation of the heat pump in heatin and cooling mode, system side.

12.2.1 MEMORISING THE PROBE IN HEATING MODE
Switching from utility water to domestic hot water, the working probe changes from “water outlet probe” to “DHW tank probe”. For this reason, in heating mode, before entering sanitary mode, the last value read by the heat pump delivery probe is stored.
When sanitary temperature control is fulfilled, the system side temperature of reference goes back to that previously stored. The memory function interrupts:

  • when the temperature read by the probe becomes lower than the stored value;
  •  or when a time equal to b06 seconds (default b06 = 45) has elasped.

12.2.2 HEATING MODE ON DHW STORAGE TANK
If the parameter H130=1, the machine exploits the DHW storage tank even for central heating. In these conditions, the outlet of the DHW valve is also enabled during operation in heating mode and not only in sanitary mode. The valve is deactivated during defrosting and in cooling mode. When H130=1, the DHW integration heater can be enabled also to act as system integration heater: to do this, set r10=1 e r15=2 (for other r15 settings see Paragraph 10.6.3); furthermore no digital output must be set as system integration heater.
12.2.3 INSUFFICIENT HEAT EXCHANGE IN A DHW SYSTEM
During DHW production, if the heat pump flow probe detects a temperature higher than 60°C, the DHW valve output is de-energised (D06), and the value of the DHW probe at this time is recorded (Tsan,set).
-if the operation is San or Cool+San the compressor is stopped.
-If the operation is Heat+San, the system evaluates for b06 seconds whether there is a demand for heating from the system. If the system requires it, the compressor continues to work on the system, otherwise it is switched off.
-If the DHW resistor is present (e.g. DO3, H81=26), r15 = 0 or 1 and r24=2 or 3 it is activated until the DHW setpoint detected by the DHW probe is met (and any offset).
The compressor restarts when the flow temperature of the heat pump falls below 60°C again and the temperature measured by the DHW probe is lower than Tsan,set – 4°C.

I/O Resource- Parameter Function
ID3 can be activated via H47 Enables remote On /Off function

If the unit is switched off by remote control during defrosting, the heat pump finishes defrosting and then places itself in off mode via remote control.
12.3.2 SUMMER/WINTER MODE CHANGE
The function can be set on digital input ID 2 (terminals X16.1/X16.2).
Heating or cooling mode of the heat pump can be managed by remote control.

I/O resource – Parameter Value Function
ID2 can be activated via H46 3 Open contact -> heat pump in cooling mode.

Closed contact -> heat pump in heating mode.

The poles of the digital input can be swapped by setting H75 = 2.
12.4 SYSTEM WATER REMOTE PROBE
In some system solutions (e.g. heat pump in parallel to boiler on same hydronic circuit and shut off diverter valve) it could be necessary to enable a system remote temperature probe so that the controller can correctly process the management.

I/O resource- Parameter Value Description
ST7 can be activated via H18 41 Enables system remote probe

In the presence of the system remote probe, if the storage tank temperature is satisfied, it is avoided to activate the compressors even if the regulation probe requires it.
The conditions for the application of thermoregulation lockout are as follows:
– the heat pump is not performing DHW
– the heat pump is not defrosting
– all compressors are switched-off
The blocking conditions are as follows:

Operating mode| Conditions inhibiting the restart of thermoregulation
---|---
| heating| System remote probe > setpoint – b22
| cooling| System remote probe < setpoint + b22

Nota: b22=5°C. See paragraph 13.
12.5 FUNCTIONS DIGITAL OUTPUTS CAN BE ACTIVATED
If the machine block signal function is not active, one of the following signals can be configured at the DO7/N terminals and the user terminal block.

12.5.1 MACHINE BLOCK
Configured by default, a voltage output signalling the presence of an alarm.

Resource I/O (Parameter) Value Function
DO7 attivabile via H85 47 Alarm signalling

12.5.2 AUXILIARY RESISTANCES
In some system solutions, it may be necessary to use an integration resistor for the system and/ or for the DHW. To define the mode of intervention of the integration resistors, the parameter r24 must be set:

  • r24=0 integration resistors not used;
  • r24=1 use of system integration resistor only;
  • r24=2 use of DHW integration resistor only;
  • r24=3 use of both system integration resistor and domestic hot water integration resistor.

12.5.2.1 SYSTEM HEATER
If the regulation temperature remains below water setpoint in heating (Hea) – 0.5°C for a time equal to r12 the integration heater is activated according to operation of the machine in joint time slots or in substitution, as indicated in Paragraph 10.11.
The heater switches off when the setpoint is reached (also taking into account an offset set with parameters r29 or r30).
If the regulation temperature remains below the water setpoint minus r11 (°C) and the machine is blocked due to triggering of an alarm, the heater switches on. It switches off when the machine exits the alarm block.

I/O resource – Parameter Value Function

r11 0.5°C (default) Heaters in heating integration delta
r12 8 minutes (default) Heaters in heating integration delta
r24 1/3 Type of use of heaters
D03 can be activated via H81 22 System integration heater

12.5.2.2 PLANT HEATER IN DEFROST
During the defrost cycle (see Paragraph 10.12.2), setting r21=1 (in addition to r10=1 and r24=1 or 3) activates the plant side electric heater, if requested (regulation temperature lower than water setpoint -r11(°C), without waiting the time defined by r12.
12.5.2.3 DHW HEATER
Function which can be activated instead of managing the plant heater
This is an additional resource for heating the domestic hot water storage tank if the compressor alone is not capable of fulfilling the request in a reasonable time. If domestic hot water production lasts longer than r16 (minutes) or if the machine blocks due to triggering of an alarm, the heater switches on. It switches off when the unit finishes domestic hot water production (also taking into account an offset on the setpoint with parameter r31, as explained in Paragraph 10.11.1).

I/O resource – Parameter Value Function

r16 8 minutes (default) DHW integration activation delay

r24 2/3                                                         Type of use of heaters
D03 can be activated via H81| 26| System integration heater

Note: The domestic hot water function must be enabled (see paragraph 10.2)
12.5.2.4 SINGLE SYSTEM/DHW INTEGRATION HEATER
By configuring the DHW integration heater, it is possible to use this heater declared also as plant integration heater, setting the parameter r15=2 and r24=3.
In case of plant integration demand, the heater declared as DHW integration is activated, thus allowing to have a single integration heater for plant, domestic hot water and plant under defrost.
12.5.2.5 INTEGRATION HEATER SELECTION MODE
The priority can be set in the order to activate the plant side and sanitary side integration heaters; specifically the configurations are:
1. r14=0 (default), the heaters can be activated simultaneously, if present;
2. r14=1, the heaters can be activated, excluding one another:
2.1. r20=0, priority to the plant (the DHW heater only switches on if the temperature control for the plant side heater is fulfilled);
2.2.r20=1, priority to DHW (the plant side heater only switches on if the temperature control for the sanitary side heater is fulfilled).
12.5.2.6 CIRCULATOR MANAGEMENT WITH HEATER ON
The circulator of the heat pump can be activated when the plant and/or DHW integration heaters are active with the compressors not running (by substitution, by alarm or by integration in bracket II or III).
-r33 = 0: The circulator of the heat pump is activated on demand of the compressors or boiler,
-r33 = 1: The circulator of the heat pump is activated if the plant heater is active.
-r33 = 2: 2: The circulator of the heat pump is activated if the DHW heater is active.
-r33 = 3: The circulator of the heat pump is activated if the plant or DHW heater is active.
The circulator switches off after post-pumping (P02).

12.5.3 BOILER ENABLING
Function which can be activated instead of managing the double setpoint.
This is an additional resource to enable the boiler in integration or substitution of the heat pump.
Define the use mode by setting the parameter r23:

  • r23=0 (default) boiler not used (operating priority of heaters);

  • r23=1 only boiler on plant used (operating priority of heaters);

  • r23=2 only DHW boiler used (operating priority of heaters);

  • r23=3 DHW and plant boiler used (operating priority of heaters); In the case of r31>0, when the DHW set point is reached, the DHW 3-way valve switches to the system;

  • r23=4 only boiler on plant with priority used (no heater operating priority);

  • r23=5 only boiler in sanitary with priority used (no heater operating priority);

  • r23=6 boiler on plant and in sanitary with priority used (no heater operating priority); In the case of r31>0, when the DHW set point is reached, the DHW 3-way valve switches to the system.

  •  r23=7 boiler use both in DHW and system (priority of resistor intervention). In the case of r31>0, when the DHW set point is reached, the DHW 3-way valve remains switched to DHW.

  •  r23=8 boiler use in DHW and on system with priority (no priority to resistor intervention). In the case of r31>0, when the DHW set point is reached, the DHW 3-way valve remains switched to DHW.
    Define the supply of the boiler, setting parameter r32:

  • r32 = 0: boiler without circulator with temperature control by heat pump,

  • r32 = 1: boiler with autonomous circulator with temperature control by heat pump;

  •  r32 = 2: boiler without circulator with autonomous temperature control;

  • r32 = 3: boiler with circulator with autonomous temperature control.

12.5.4 ACTIVATION OF INTEGRATION HEATERS AND BOILER IN JOINT OPERATION AND IN SUBSTITUTION OF HEAT PUMP COMPRESSOR
The auxiliary parts that can be used for joint operation or for operation in substitution are:

  • boiler
  • plant integration heater
  • DHW integration heater

Considering the operating modes in heating and/or DHW, there are 4 operating areas:

If you need to change the values of the parameters r22, r28, r08, follow r22 ≥ r28 ≥ r08.
Setting r22=r28 allows you to eliminate the zone relative to joint operation bracket I; setting r28=r08 allows you to eliminate the zone relative to joint operation bracket II; setting r22=r28=r08 allows you to eliminate both brackets relative to joint operation.
Do not modify value r08, as it could jeopardise operation of the unit
12.5.4.1 OPERATION IN HEAT PUMP MODE
Normal operation of the heat pump in which the integration resistors and/or the boiler only intervene when a heat pump alarm is triggered.
12.5.4.2 JOINT OPERATION (I BRACKET)
If the outdoor temperature is between r22 and r28, the compressor operates in synergy with the auxiliary heaters in winter or DHW mode.
In this operating bracket, first the heat pump is activated and after r12 minutes the plant side auxiliary heaters, or after r16 minutes the sanitary side auxiliary heaters.
The intervention priorities are defined by the parameters r14, r20, r23, r24.
It goes back to normal operation if the outdoor temperature is greater than r22+1.0 (°C).
NOTE: In the joint operating bracket, the boiler is temperature controlled by the plant water remote probe (if enabled). In particular, if the temperature detected by the remote probe is lower than the Hea setpoint, the boiler is switched on and then will go off when the temperature detected by the remote probe is higher than the Hea setpoint. The heat pump follows the activation logic described in paragraph 10.5.
If the remote plant water probe is not enabled, the boiler will be managed by the delivery probe of the heat pump.
12.5.4.3 JOINT OPERATION (II BRACKET)
If the outdoor temperature is between r28 and r08, the compressor operates in synergy with the auxiliary heaters.
In this operating bracket, first the boiler is activated, then the heat pump and auxiliary heaters intervene after a time defined by r12 (minutes) for the plant side and r16 (minutes) for the sanitary side
The intervention priorities are defined by the parameters r14, r20, r23, r24.
It goes back to normal operation if the temperature rises above r28+1.0 (°C).
Note: In the joint operating bracket, the boiler is temperature controlled by the plant water remote probe (if enabled). In particular, if the temperature detected by the remote probe is lower than the Hea setpoint, the boiler is switched on and then will go off when the temperature detected by the remote probe is higher than the Hea setpoint. The heat pump follows the activation logic described in paragraph 10.5.
If the remote plant water probe is not enabled, the boiler will be managed by the delivery probe of the heat pump.
12.5.4.4 OPERATION IN SUBSTITUTION
If the outdoor temperature drops below r08 use of the heat pump compressor will be inhibited.
– If the auxiliary system is composed of plant and/or DHW heaters, they are active in substitution of the compressor with defined times, r12 (minutes) for plant side and r16 (minutes) for sanitary side.
Whereas in the operation in substitution bracket, the integrations do not need to be enabled with r10 or r15 as the heaters need to operate in substitution (and not in integration) of the heat pump (therefore simply select the type of use with the parameter r24).
– If the auxiliary system is a boiler with autonomous circulator (r32 = 1 or 3).
The circulator of the heat pump is off, after P01 (default 30 seconds) the boiler is enabled.
NOTE: With water side antifreeze protection, the pump used is activated (or remains active) anyhow.
– If the auxiliary system in substitution is a boiler with autonomous temperature control (r32 = 0 or 2).
The boiler is enabled regardless of the temperature control of the heat pump.
– If the auxiliary system in substitution is a boiler without circulator (r32 = 0 or 2).
The circulator of the heat pump is on when the boiler is enabled.
The compressor switches back on if the temperature rises above r08+ r09 (°C) (r09=1.0 °C by default).
12.5.4.5 OPERATING BRACKETS – ACTIVATION OF INTEGRATION HEATERS (plant remote water probe not enabled)
The possible configurations of the integration parameters are listed in tables 1,2,3 and 4 shown below, divided by operating brackets (the operating modes and  possible values of the parameters are indicated  in the “STATUS” boxes and in the parameters “rxx” so that a given order of intervention of the integrations occurs in a certain operating mode of  the unit; other statuses and values of the  parameters can be selected instead and therefore they are provided in the same cell separated by the symbol ”/”).

Works as indicated in TABLE 1,2,3 and 4.

| In “HEAT+SAN”, by default sanitary temperature con- trol has priority over that of the plant, therefore if re- quired by the temperature control, the unit goes to “SANITARY” mode and the DHW integration heater acts

as indicated in TABLES 1,2,3 and 4.

|

DHW

| Only if all 3 of the following conditions are met: -the output is configured for Plant integration heater;

r24=1/3 ; – plant water temperature remote probe pres- ent and configured ;

the plant integration heater is activated in the following  situations:
–  r12 minutes after the start of its count acti- vated in “HEAT” mode previously running (see line 1);
–  if its count is not already activated in the pre- vious “HEAT” mode, r12 minutes after the tem- perature control demand.
–   In SANITARY mode, with remote probe not configured, the plant integration heater is de- activated or any of its counts are interrupted.
–  With “remote on-off” contact open, the Plant integration heater is deactivated.

12.5.4.6 AUXILIARY SYSTEMS OFFSET MANAGEMENT
Lastly you may establish that the boiler and/or integration heaters (according to the resources and selected priorities) have a setpoint in heating mode and in sanitary mode higher than that of the heat pump. This is achieved by setting an offset on the following setpoints:

  • r29 = First setpoint temperature offset for boiler and plant heaters (G02);
  • r30 = Second setpoint temperature offset for boiler and plant heater (G05);
  • r31 = Temperature offset for boiler and DHW heaters (G03);

This way the heat pump stops at the setpoint (G02,G03,G05) and the temperature difference, according to the set outset, will be supplied by the boiler and/or heaters.
12.5.5 SYSTEM SEASON
A digital output can be configured indicating the operating season of the unit, plant side.
The output is active in summer mode, while it is deactivated in OFF or heating mode.
During DHW production and defrosting, the output maintains the setting of the source season.

I/O Resource (Parameter) Value Function
DO7 can be activated via H85 31 Plant season warning

12.5.6 ALARM
A voltage output can be configured to signal the presence of an alarm.

I/O Resource Parameter Value Function
DO7 can be activated via H85 24 Alarm warning

12.5.7 DEFROST
A digital output can be configured signalling defrosting in progress.

I/O Resource Parameter Value Function
DO7 can be activated via H85 21 Defrost in progress warning

12.6 DEFROST CYCLE
The defrost cycle is only active in heat pump mode and is used to prevent the formation of ice on the surface of the air/air coil. The formation of ice on the evaporator, which is quite frequent with very low outdoor temperatures, in addition to considerably downgrading the thermodynamic performance of the unit, also risks damaging the unit itself.
If the unit is switched off by remote control during defrosting, the heat pump finishes defrosting and then places itself in off mode via remote control.
12.7 COMPRESSOR CRANKCASE HEATER
The crankcase heater is activated if the compressor has been off for at least 30 minutes and if the discharge temperature is below a certain threshold of 20 °C (with hysteresis of 2.0°C). The crankcase heater is disabled when the compressor starts back up.
12.8 DOUBLE SET-POINT
This function introduces a second working set-point on the plant side, both in cooling and heating mode.
The user terminal board allows a consent to be connected to switch from the first to the second set-point and configured at digital input ID9 with parameter H53 = 26. The valve, on the other hand, is connected in the terminal board to digital output DO7 and is configured via parameter H85.

12.9 MINIMUM HZ FUNCTIONALITY
Configuring parameter L02=1 and L03≠0 reduces the nominal operating Hz of the compressor.

Parameter VALUE Function
L02 0 Function not active
1 Enabling minimum Hz
L03 0 Function not active
1 Function active only in cooling mode
2 Function active only in heating mode
3 Function active only in sanitary mode
4 Function active in cooling and sanitary mode
5 Function active in heating and sanitary mode
6 Function active in cooling and heating mode
7 Function always active

With the function active, the output and power of the unit are limited, for additional information see the installer user manual.
Configuring a digital input ID9 with parameter H53=21, the function can be managed.

Parameter VALUE Function

H53

| 0 (default)| Function disabled
21| Open contact -> standard mode Closed contact -> mode Hz min/max

12.10 MAXIMUM HZ FUNCTIONALITY
Activating the function increases the power of the unit, please contact us for information.
12.11 FLOWMETER
There is a flowmeter in each unit; it has the following characteristics:

Unit| Water measuring range [L/min]| Flow speed [m/s]| Flow rate [L/min]| Power supply

[Vdc]

| Current consumption without load| DN
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
0112 0115 0118| 5,0 – 85| 0,265 – 4,509| 0,5 – 150| 4.75 – 33| <5mA| 20

you can read the flow value in L/min from the remote display by pressing Enter -> SYS, and scrolling to S014.

FUNCTIONS THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED WITH HI-T2 ACCESSORY (OPTIONAL)

This is a touch screen remote control for centralised management of a chiller/heat pump network. It includes humidity and temperature sensors for the thermo hygrometric analysis of the environment and for the management of the double set point for radiant floor heating systems that use a dehumidification system.
The intuitive interface simplifies the use of the controller; all the functions can be easily set through the use of an easy to understand synoptic.
The Hi-T remote control allows you to manage the following functions:

  • Remote management;
  •  Management of a network, up to 7 heat pumps;
  •  Zone thermostat;
  • Screed function;
  •  Antilegionella disinfection;
  • Double set-point and humidity measurement;
  • Dew point control;
  • Climatic compensation;
  • Booster circulator management;
  •  Management of single pump in a network;
  • Alarm diagnostic system.

For further information, see the user-installer manual, or contact our headquarters.

FUNCTIONS THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED WITH GI3 MODULE (OPTIONAL)

The GI3 module is an optional kit which allows you to manage the following functions:

  • Booster circulator management with the aid of two room thermostats (not supplied);
  • Management of a plant side mixer valve both in heating and cooling mode;
  • Solar – thermal integration management.

14.2 MANAGEMENT OF SECONDARY CIRCULATOR/RELAUNCH PUMP (WITH ROOM THERMOSTAT)
Allows the management of two secondary or booster circulators serving the system.
This allows up to 2 secondary circuits with independent calls, one of which can be low temperature (mixed).
Two digital inputs and outputs are managed.

Resource I/O – Parameter Value Function X terminals
ID9E can be activated via H63 19 Room thermostat 1 9.1 / 9.2
ID8E can be activated via H62 32 Room thermostat 2 8.1 / 8.2
DO5E can be activated via H90 43 Secondary circulator circuit 1 5.1 (phase)

5.2(neutral)
DO4E can be activated via H89| 33| Secondary circulator circuit 2| 4.1 (phase) 4.2(neutral)

The various scenarios with their configuration are shown below:

Configuration| T.A. 1| T.A. 2| Secondary circulator circuit 1| Secondary circulator circuit 2| Mixing valve configuration (see chapter 14.3 mixing valve mangement)| Description
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
1| Single high temperature circuit| DI=19| –| DO=43| –| i06=0 (not enabled)| A.T. contact 1 manages the one room call and consequently activates the booster pump
2|

Two indipendent high temperature circuits

| DI=19| DI=32| DO=43| DO=33| i06=0 (not enabled)| The A.T. contact 1 works in the same way as for confi- guration 1, while the TA2 contact works in call for the output DO=33, which is managed as a booster pump for the secondary circuit 2, which in this configuration is also high temperature like the first.

|

Single mixed circuit

|

DI=19

or

DI=32

|

|

|

|

i06 > 0

DO=33 etc. (enabled)

| Contact T.A.1 works on the low-temperature circuit which is appropriately configured via the para- meters of the ‘rAd’ group. The output DO=33 acts as a booster pump for the

mixed circuit.

4| An independent high temperature and mixed circuit| DI=19| DI=32| DO=43| –| i06 > 0 DO=33 etc. (enabled)| Contact T.A. 1 manages the call for the first secondary circuit at high temperatu- re, activating the relative booster pump. Contact T.A. 2 manages the call for the second secondary circuit at low temperature (activation of DO=33 and relative adjustment of the mixing valve).
5| A high temperature circu- it and a mixed circuit| DI=19| –| DO=43| –| i06 > 0 DO=33 etc. (enabled)| The call is handled in parallel for both resources DO=33 and DO=43

With the heat pump in OFF position, the booster circulator will be switched off independently of the thermostat call.
If the machine is not equipped with either a remote plant sensor or a secondary circulator, the room thermostat thermoregulation is as follows:

Room call Compressor thermoregulation
b30=0 b30=1
Active Active
Room call Compressor thermoregulation
--- ---
b30=0 b30=1
Off ( ambient satisfied) Compressor start is inhibited for room thermo-

regulation (DHW and defrosting not affected by the lockout). If the compressor| Shutdown of active compressors for room ther- moregulation is forced (DHW and defrosting not affected)

The secondary circulator is switched off with a delay given by P02 (post- pumping).
14.3 MIXER VALVE MANAGEMENT
The mixer valve is regulated by means of specific PID which strives to maintain the delivery temperature of the radiant panel at the set value.
The setpoint setting can be found in the ‘Set’ Menu:
rCoo = Mixer flow temperature setpoint in cooling mode = 15°C (default)
rHea = Mixer flow temperature setpoint in heating mode = 30°C (default)
The resources and the parameters to be setting are the following:

I/O resource – Parameter| Description| Value| Function| X terminals
---|---|---|---|---
ST 5E can be activated via H27| Analogue input| 44| Mixer probe| 1.1 / 1.2
ID9E can be activated via H63| Digital input| 19 or 32| Room thermostat 1 or 2| 4.1 / 4.2
DO1E can be activated via H86| Voltage output| 34| Valve open command| 5.1 (phase) / 6.2(neutral)
DO2E can be activated via H87| Voltage output| 35| Valve close command| 5.2 (phase)
DO3E can be activated vi H88| Voltage output| 33| Mixer pump| 7.1 / 7.2
i01| Valve opening time| Recover the value from the technical data supplied installed| |
i02| Interval between two interruptions| 30 seconds1| |
i03| PID proportional band| 2°C2| |
i04| PID integral time| 300 seconds3| |
i05| PID derivative time| 0 4| |
i06| Mixer management only active in heating mode| 1| |

1Recommended value. Time interval between one corretion and the next.
2Recommended value. Intervention area defined by the difference between the setpoint for the mixer flow and the temperature measured by mixing flow probe.
3Recommended value. Time taken by the mixing valve to switch from open to closed and vice versa, when the difference between setpoint set for the flow of the mixing valve and the value read by the mixing probe is greater than or equal to proportional band. The more larger this value, the slower the change in approach to the setpoint set for the mixing valve flow.
4 Derivate component of regulation; use only if you have a good knowledge of regulator logic.
5 i07=1: in the following cases the mixing valve closes completely:

  • with the room thermostat of the low-temperature circuit active, when I change the operating mode of the PDC from Heat (or Cool) to OFF, the DO “Valve close command” is activated for i01 seconds.
  • If I open the room thermostat contact of the low-temperature circuit, the DO ‘Valve closing command’ is activated for i01 seconds.

14.3.1 Determination of setpoint
The setpoint on which to perform regulation is given by rCOO or rHEA respectively in cooling and heating mode. If dynamic compensation of the setpoint is enabled (b08=1), then the setpoint will be corrected the same way as the heat pump/chiller.
The maximum and minimum value reached by the compensation are not controlled. Therefore the parameters must be configured so that the setpoints are not brought to unwanted values outside of the allowed work ranges.
14.3.2 Mixing pump
The mixing pump (DO3E) switches on when there is a call from the digital input ambient thermostat (ID9E) and switches off with a delay of P02 from the instant the thermostat call ceases.
14.4 SOLAR INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT
To enable te function, set S01=1.

14.4.1 Activation of solar circulator
Solar management is also active with the unit off.
The solar circulator is active in both of the following conditions are met:
• The temperature of the solar collector is higher than that defined by parameter S13 (default 40°C), the solar circulator is activated;
• The temperature difference between the solar collector and that of the solar storage tank is higher than the parameter S02 (default 6°C).
14.4.2 Collector protection
If the temperature of the collector exceeds parameter S04 (default 110°C), the solar circulator is periodically on intermittently with the times set in:
• S05 = time ON (default 15 seconds);
• S06 = time OFF (default 15 seconds).
As hysteresis to exit the protection condition use S08 (default 2°C).
This protection is guaranteed even with the machine Off.
14.4.3 Collector overtemperature alarm
If the collector probe exceeds the value of parameter S12 (default 130°C), there is an alarm condition E10 which blocks the solar circulator. The hysteresis to return from the alarm condition is given by parameter S08 (default 2°C).
If an alarm is triggered, operation of the heat pump is guaranteed.
14.4.4 DHW overtemperature alarm
If the temperature of the DHW storage tank exceeds the parameter S10 (default 80°C), the alarm E50 is triggered.
The hysteresis to return from the alarm condition is given by parameter S11 (default 2°C).
If an alarm is triggered, operation of the heat pump is guaranteed.
14.4.5 Solar exhaust valve
If alarms E10 and E50 are triggered simultaneously, the solar exhaust valve will be activated.
It is recommended to connect the output of terminals 8.1 (phase) – 8.2 (neutral) to a timed relay to manage the flow of the exhaust valve. If any doubts arise, contact our headquarters.
14.4.6 Disposal of solar tank heat
The solar circulator runs to dissipate excess heat in the storage tank by exploiting the solar collector if both of the following conditions are met:
-The temperature of the DHW storage tank is higher than parameter S15 (default 60°C);
-The temperature of the solar collector is lower than 35°C (parameter S13 – parameter S14).
The solar collector is off when at least one of the following conditions is met:
-The temperature of the DHW storage tank is lower than parameter S15 (default 60°C).
-The temperature of the collector exceeds the parameter S13 (default 40°C), as conditions are no longer in place for proper dissipation of the heat.
14.4.7 Antifreeze
Function active if the parameter S01 = 1.
If the temperature of the solar collecor is lower than parameter S07 (default 5°C), the solar circulator is activated in antifreeze mode.
This protection is only enabled with the machine Off.
The function is inhibited if the temperature of the DHW storage tank is lower than the value defined in parameter S16 (default 20°C).
This regulator also works with the unit Off.
Setting the parameter S01 = 2, the antifreeze function is never active (for example because the solar plant is supplied with glycol).
Be careful as enabling this function could damage the entire system.
Note:

  • Solar integration is NOT managed if the controller of the unit is OFF.
  • The remote digital input OFF has no effect on solar management.
  • During first ignition, check that the probe of the solar collector measures a temperature lower than 160°C and that this temperature corresponds to that read on the controller of the internal unit.
  •  Solar circulator live output 230V ac, 50Hz, 2A (AC1).
  • For higher absorptions, connect the output to the contactor coil.
  • Factory-set parameters for solar management, any other configurations are the responsibility of the user and/or installer. The company excludes any contractual and extra contractual liability for damage caused to persons, animals or objects, by incorrect installation, setting and maintenance, improper use of the equipment, and the partial or superficial reading of the information contained in this manual.

ALARMS

By placing the controller in OFF mode, the alarms reset and the counts of the relative hour interventions are also reset. If the alarms are still triggered when switching the unit back on, contact technical assistance. The values indicated below could be subject to updates. If you have any doubts, contact our headquarters.
16.1 [E006] FLOWMETER
The water side flowmeter is already installed inside the unit and MUST NOT be tampered with or bypassed in any way. The flow switch is bypassed for 10 seconds after the unit is switched on. When the bypass time has elapsed, you must evaluate the status of the digital input, if active, the flow is considered present. If the flow is found to be missing for 5 seconds, the alarm is triggered and the circulator switches on for 120 seconds If the alarm triggers more than 3 times an hour, it must be reset manually.

The alarm does not trigger in the following conditions:

  • During domestic hot water production;
  • During the plant venting cycle function.

16.2 [E018] HIGH-TEMPERATURE
If the water delivery probe detects a value higher than 65°C for longer than 50 seconds, the alarm is active only in chiller mode. It deactivates when the temperature returns below 62°C.
16.3 [E020] INCONGRUENT PRESSURES
For compressor enabled for more than 150 seconds, the suction pressure probe detect a pressure higher than the condensation pressure probe, the alarm displayed is E020. The alarm is not resettable (it is necessary to cut the power supply to eliminate the alarm).
This alarm is not in defrosting mode.
16.4 [E005] ANTIFREEZE
If the outlet water probe has a value lower than A08 (3°C), the alarm is active. It deactivates if the temperature recorded by the probe is higher than +6°C. The alarm is bypassed for 120 seconds from switch on in heating mode.
16.5 [E611÷E681] PROBE ALARMS
The alarm is triggered if any connected or enabled probe is short-circuited or interrupted.
The alarm also triggers if the upper limit (100°C) or the lower limit (-50°C) of the probes is exceeded. A probe figured as sanitary probe will not trigger any alarms if domestic hot water is not enabled.
NOTE:
If the pressure switch on the machine detects a pressure exceeding 30,5 bar the driver and the compressor are powered off and probe error E641 is displayed (Compressor discharge probe fault).
The alarm is cleared when the pressure drops below 23 bar.
16.6 [E801] TIMEOUT INVERTER
When the machine’s controller does not communicate with the driver board of the compressor, a timeout alarm is triggered to avoid losing control of the system.
16.7 [E801 ÷E981] INVERTER
Inverter alarms are indicated in the section ‘Alarm Table Utility Block’.
NB: alarm E981 “Inverter high pressure”:

  • alarm intervention up to 3 times in one hour: resets automatically after pressure switch reset (after 140 seconds for sizes 106, 109 and 112, after 30 seconds for sizes 115 and 118).
  •  requires a manual reset if it trips more than 3 times in one hour.

16.8 [E00] REMOTE ON/OFF (WARNING)
If the unit is controlled by a remote digital input. See par. 10.4.1
16.9 [E001] HIGH-PRESSURE
If the pressure transducer on the unit detects a pressure higher than 30,3 bar the alarm is triggered.
In this case the compressor is blocked immediately. The alarm is reset when the pressure drops below 21,3 bar. If the alarm triggers more than 3 times an hour, it must be reset manually.
16.10 [E002] LOW-PRESSURE
In chiller mode, if the pressure transducer on the unit detects a pressure lower than 1,7 bar, the alarm is triggered.
In heat pump mode, if the pressure transducer on the unit detects a pressure lower than 0,7 bar, the alarm is triggered.
The alarm is reset when the pressure rises 2.0 bar above the triggering threshold.
A bypass time of 60 seconds is counted every time the compressor is activated.
When the alarm is triggered, it blocks the compressors of the circuit. The alarm is reset manually if it triggers 3 times an hour.
16.11 [E008] DRIVER LIMITATION
If the compressor does not reach the speed at the intended ramp value within 30 minutes, the alarm is triggered and the compressor switches off for safety purposes.
The alarm is reset manually if it triggers 3 times an hour.
16.12 [E041] 4-WAY VALVE
Manually reset alarm, it identifies malfunctioning of the 4-way reversing valve.
The alarm does not trigger for a bypass time of approximately 180 seconds from start-up of the compressor.

  • In heating and sanitary mode, the alarm is triggered when, the bypass time having elapsed, the water delivery temperature is lower than the
    water return temperature of the heat pump – 1°C.

  • In cooling mode, the alarm is triggered when, the bypass time having elapsed, the water delivery temperature is higher than the water
    return temperature of the heat pump + 1°C.

16.13 POWER FAILURE
When restored:

  • The instrument goes back to the condition it was in prior to the power failure
  • if a defrost cycle is in progress, it is cancelled
  • all of the timers in progress are cancelled and reinitialized
