4.5 CE label

The CE label shows that the products

comply with the basic requirements of the

applicable directives as stated on the iden-

tification plate.

The declaration of conformity can be

viewed at the manufacturer's site.

4.6 Safety devices

4.6.1 Frost protection function

The frost protection function for the system

is controlled via the system controller. If

the system controller fails, the heat pump

guarantees limited frost protection for the

heating circuit.

4.6.2 Protection against low heating

water pressure

This function continuously monitors the

pressure of the heating water in order to

prevent a possible loss of heating water.

4.6.3 Brine loss protection system

The brine loss protection system continu-

ously monitors the fluid pressure in the

environment circuit in order to prevent a

possible shortage of fluid.

4.6.4 Freeze protection

This function prevents the evaporator from

freezing when the heat source temperat-

ure drops below a certain value.

The outlet temperature of the heat source

is constantly measured. If the outlet tem-

perature of the heat source falls below a

certain value, the compressor temporarily

switches off and displays a status mes-

sage. If this fault occurs three times in a

row, it is switched off and a fault message

is displayed.

4.6.5 Pump- and valve-blocking

protection system

This function prevents the pumps for heat-

ing water and brine and all diverter valves

from sticking. The pumps and the valves,

which were out of operation for 23 hours,

are switched on for 10 - 20 seconds, one

after the other.

4.6.6 High-pressure pressure switch

in the refrigeration circuit

The high-pressure pressure switch shuts

down the heat pump if the pressure in the

coolant circuit is too high. If the pressure

in the heat pump's refrigeration circuit ex-

ceeds the maximum pressure, the high-

pressure pressure switch temporarily shuts

down the heat pump. Following a waiting

period, another attempt is made to start

the heat pump. After three failed start at-

tempts in succession, a fault message is

displayed.

–Refrigeration circuit pressure max.: 4.60

MPa (g) (46.00 bar (g))

–Waiting period: 5 minutes (after the first

occurrence)

–Waiting period: 30 minutes

(after the second and every further oc-

currence)

The fault counter is reset if both of the

following conditions are met:

–Heat requirement without switching off

prematurely

–60 minutes of uninterrupted operation

4.6.7 Hot gas thermostat in the

refrigeration circuit

The hot gas thermostat shuts down the

heat pump if the temperature in the refri-

geration circuit is too high. If the temperat-

ure in the heat pump's refrigeration circuit

exceeds the maximum temperature, the

hot gas thermostat temporarily shuts down

the heat pump. Following a waiting period,

another attempt is made to start the heat

5 Operating

10 Operating instructions flexoTHERM exclusive 0020213396_02

pump. After three failed start attempts in

succession, a fault message is displayed.

–Max. refrigeration circuit temperature:

135 ℃

–Waiting period: 5 minutes (after the first

occurrence)

–Waiting period: 30 minutes

(after the second and every further oc-

currence)

The fault counter is reset if both of the

following conditions are met:

–Heat requirement without switching off

prematurely

–60 minutes of uninterrupted operation

4.6.8 Safety cut-out (SCO) in the

heating circuit

If the temperature in the heating circuit of

the internal auxiliary electric heating ex-

ceeds the maximum temperature, the SCO

shuts down the auxiliary electric heating as

a securing measure. Following a waiting

period, another attempt is made to start

the auxiliary electric heating. A fault mes-

sage is displayed that can only be reset by

pressing the Reset button or by switching

the heat pump off and on again.

–Max. heating circuit temperature: 85 ℃
