7.3 Functions

7.3.1 Time programs
Lower
It is possible to block the operation of the domestic water heat
pump by setting lower times. Two independent lower times can
be programmed. The individual lower times are activated as
soon as the hour or minute value is not equal to zero. During the
lower times, the cylinder is kept at the lower temperature. The
solar thermal and rapid heating functions, and the function for
using electricity from PV systems and boost (quick heating) are
possible during shut-off times.
Preventative thermal disinfection
The start time for preventative thermal disinfection and the de-
sired setpoint must be set. The function is activated as soon as
the hour or minute value is not equal to zero.
Both the heat pump and the electric heater are switched on from
the start to achieve the set temperature. This ensures that the re-
quired setpoint can be reached as quickly as possible
NOTE
If the set temperature is not reached within 4 hours, the preventative
thermal disinfection is terminated. The set start time can be activated
every weekday. Preventative thermal disinfection should not be started
after 8pm to ensure that the four hours required are available.

7.3.2 Electric heater

The integrated electric heater can be used to supplement heat
pump operation. The electric heater is automatically switched on
if the domestic hot water set temperature is not reached within
the set delay time in heat pump operation. In ECO mode, the
electric heater is only requested if the operating ranges of the
heat pump are left and no 2nd heat generator is present. This is
the case, for example, when the air intake temperature is under-
shot/exceeded. With the "Boost" key, the domestic hot water
preparation can be supported with the electric heater for an ad-
justable period of time.
If the air temperature is above +7°C, the electric heater is
blocked. It can only be switched on manually above the +7°C
limit for the boost (rapid heating) function.
7.3.3 Second heat generator (only
with DHW 300+)
An existing heat generator can be used to heat the cylinder using
the integrated tube heat exchanger (1 m²) . The use of a 2nd
heat generator must be activated in the menu. It is requested if
the heat pump's operating limits are exceeded. This is the case
when the bottom or top air intake limit or the domestic hot water
setpoint lies above the achievable temperature during heat pump
operation (e.g. preventative thermal disinfection). In this case,
the 2nd heat generator has priority over the electric heater in the
heat pump. When the 2nd heat generator is activated, it is addi-
tionally possible to select a bivalence temperature which devi-
ates from the lower operating limit (air temperature). If this tem-
perature is undershot, heat pump operation is blocked as soon
as the set temperature is reached, and the 2nd heat generator is
then used.
EN-12
A circulating pump is required for charging the cylinder via the
additional heat exchanger, which should be operated where nec-
essary. There are two possible solutions for this:
Activating a circulating pump for using the heat
exchanger through existing domestic hot water
heat pump regulation
This version is recommended if a constant heat source is
present, e.g. wood heating buffer tank when using the 2nd heat
generator.
The circulating pump is connected on terminal X4:
Activating a circulating pump for using the heat
exchanger through existing boiler controller
We recommend this version if, in addition to the circulating pump,
a boiler also has to be switched on to generate the heat. In this
case, a sensor of the existing boiler controller is usually required
in the heat pump cylinder. The existing sensor must be con-
nected electrically and remain physically in the unit. To do this,
stow it rolled up in the insulation in the electric heater area and
reduce the setpoints in the menu where necessary. The figure
below shows the position of the sensor R5 to be replaced, which
is connected electrically to the external boiler controller. Recom-
mended depth of the sensor in the pipe approx. 550 mm.
