2.3 Avoid dangerThe ROTEX HPSU compact is state-of-the-art and is built to meet all recognised technical requirements. However, improper use may result in serious physical injuries or death, as well as property damage.

To prevent such risks, install and operate ROTEX HPSU compact only:– as stipulated and in perfect condition,– with an awareness of the safety and hazards involved.

This assumes knowledge and use of the contents of this manual, the relevant accident prevention regulations and the recognised safety-related and occupational medical rules.

2.4 Intended useThe ROTEX HPSU compact may only be used for preparation of warm water, as a room heating system, and depending on its design, as a room cooling system. The ROTEX HPSU compact must be installed, connected and operated only according to the indications in this manual.

Only use of a suitable external unit approved by ROTEX is per-mitted. The following combinations are permissible in this re-spect:

Tab. 2-1 Permissible combinations of ROTEX exterior heat pump units and ROTEX HPSU compact internal units

Any other use outside the intended use is considered as im-proper. The operator alone shall bear responsibility for any re-sulting damage.

Proper use also includes observing the relevant maintenance and servicing conditions. Spare parts must at least satisfy the technical requirements defined by the manufacturer. This is the case, for example, with original spare parts.

2.5 Instructions for operating safety

2.5.1 Before working on the hydraulic systemWork on the ROTEX HPSU compact (such as setup,servicing, connection and initial start-up) is only to be carriedout by persons who are authorised and who have success-fully completed qualifying technical or vocational training andwho have taken part in advanced training sessions recog-nised by the appropriate responsible authorities. This, inparticular, includes heating specialists and climate controltechnicians who have experience, as a result of theirtechnical training and their knowledge of the subject, ofproper and appropriate installation and maintenance ofheating, climate control and cooling installations and heatpumps.Switch off the external main switch before starting any workon the ROTEX HPSU compact and secure it against uninten-tional switch-on.Seals must not be damaged or removed.Make sure that the safety valves comply with the require-ments of EN 12828 when connecting on the heating side, andwith the requirements of EN 12897 when connecting on thedomestic water side.Only original ROTEX replacement parts may be used.

2.5.2 Electrical installationElectrical installation may be carried out only by electricalengineers and in compliance with the valid electro-technicalguidelines as well as the regulations of the relevant energysupply company (EVU).Compare the mains voltage (~230 V, 50 Hz or ~400 V, 50 Hz) indicated on the type plate with the supply voltage beforeconnecting to the mains.Before beginning work on live parts, disconnect them from the power supply (switch off external main switch, remove fuse)and secure against unintentional restart.Equipment covers and service panels must be replaced assoon as the work is completed.

2.5.3 Working on cooling systems (Heat pump)

Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves.When working on the refrigerant circuit, ensure that theworkplace is well ventilated.Never carry out work on the refrigerant circuit in closed rooms or work pits.Do not let refrigerant come into contact with open fire, embers or hot objects.Never allow refrigerant to escape into the atmosphere (highpressure at the point of the leak).When removing the service pipes from the filling connections, never hold the connections in the direction of your body.Residual refrigerant could escape.Components and spare parts must at least satisfy thetechnical requirements defined by the manufacturer.

WARNING!

This unit is not intended for use by persons (including children) with impaired physical, sensory or mental faculties or persons with insufficient experience and/or expertise unless supervised by a person responsible for ensuring their safety or are given instruction by this person on how to use the unit.

2 x Safety2.5.4 Site of installationFor safe and fault-free operation, it is necessary that the instal-lation location of the ROTEX HPSU compact fulfils certain cri-teria. Related information can be found in chapter 4.2.

Information on the installation site of other components can be found in the associated documentation supplied with them.

2.5.5 Heating system and sanitary connectionCreate a heating system according to the safety requirements of EN 12828.With sanitary connection, you must observe;– EN 1717 - Protection of domestic water from contamina-

tion in domestic water installations and general require-ments concerning safety equipment for the prevention ofdomestic water contamination by back-flow

– EN 806 - Technical regulations for domestic water instal-lations (TRWI)

– and, in addition, the country-specific legal regulations.

The connection of a solar installation, an electric heating rod or an alternative heat generator may cause the storage temperature to exceed 60 °C.

For this reason you should fit scalding protection (e.g. VTA32+ Verschraubungsset 1") during installation.

If the ROTEX HPSU compact is connected to a heating system with steel pipes, radiators or non-diffusion-proof floor heating pipes, slurry and swarf could enter the hot water storage tank and cause blockages, local overheating or corrosion.

To prevent possible damage, fit a dirt filter or sludgeseparator into the heating return flow of the system.– SAS 1

2.5.6 Requirements for the heating waterAvoid damage caused by deposits and corrosion: Observe the relevant regulations of technology to prevent creation of cor-rosion products and deposits.

Measures for desalination, softening or hardness stabilization are necessary, if the filling and top-up water have a high total hardness (> 3 mmol/l - sum of the calcium and magnesium con-centrations, calculated as calcium carbonate.

Using filling water and top-up water which does not meet the stated quality requirements can cause a considerably reduced service life of the equipment. The responsibility for this is entirely that of the operator.

2.5.7 OperationThe ROTEX HPSU compact:

Do not operate until all installation and connection work iscompleted.Only operate with a completely full storage tank (Levelindicator) and heating circuit.Operate at a maximum pressure of 3 bar.Only connect with a pressure reducer on the external watersupply (Supply line).Only operate the with the specified quantity of refrigerant andthe type of refrigerant specified.only operate if the protective cover is installed.

The specified servicing intervals should be adhered to and in-spection work must be carried out.

2.5.8 Instructing the user/ownerBefore you hand over the ROTEX HPSU compact, explain tothe user/owner how to operate and check the system.Hand over the technical documentation (this document andall supporting documents) to the user and advise him thatthese documents must be made available at all times and bestored in the immediate vicinity of the unit.Make a record of the handover by filling out and signing theinstallation and instruction forms jointly with the user/owner.

Remove packing and dispose of it in an environment-friendlymanner.Unscrew the threaded inserts (fig. 4-4, item G), onto whichthe handles are to be fitted, from the hot water storage tank.

Install the ROTEX HPSU compact at the installation site.– Recommended clearances (fig. 4-5):

From the wall (s1): 200 mm.From the ceiling (X): 1200 mm.

– Transport the ROTEX HPSU compact carefully, use sup-porting straps.

– When setting up the unit in a cabinet, behind panels or inother restricted conditions, sufficient ventilation (e.g.,using ventilation gratings) must be ensured.

If necessary, install the optional backup heater (BU9c) in theROTEX HPSU compact (fig. 4-5).A separate manual, including, among other things, i instruc-tions for installation and operation is attached to this compo-nent ( Pay attention to the tightening torque, seechapter 10.3 "Tightening torque").

CAUTION!

Only erect the ROTEX HPSU compact when asufficient ground load-bearing capacity, of1050 kg/m² plus safety margin, has been assured. The ground must be flat and level.Outdoor installation is not permitted.The electronic control system must not besubjected to atmospheric factors under anycircumstances.The storage tank must not be exposed tocontinuous direct solar radiation, since the UVradiation and weather-influences will damage theplastic.The ROTEX HPSU compact must be installed in amanner protected from frost.Make sure that the supply company does notprovide corrosive domestic water.– Suitable water treatment may be required.

WARNING!

The plastic wall of the storage tank on the ROTEX HPSU compact may melt due to the effects of external heat (> 80 °C) and, in the extreme case, can catch fire.

Erect the ROTEX HPSU compact only at aminimum distance of 1 m to other heat sources(> 80 °C) (e.g. electric heater, gas heater, chimney) and flammable materials.

CAUTION!

If the ROTEX HPSU compact is not erected with suf-ficient distance beneath the solar flat collectors (top edge of storage tank is higher than the lower edge of the solar panel), the unpressurised solar system in the outdoor area will be unable to drain completely.

Requirement: Optional accessories (e.g. Solar, Backup Heater) mounted on the ROTEX HPSU compact according to the specifi-cations of the instructions included.

Establish hydraulic connections at the ROTEX HPSUcompact.– For the position and dimension of the connections, see

section 4.1.– Pay attention to the tightening torque (see

chapter 10.3 "Tightening torque")Carefully lag the hot water pipes to prevent heat loss.– The thermal insulation needs to be at least 20 mm thick to

prevent condensation from forming on the surface of theinsulation material.

Connect the pressure relief line to the safety pressure reliefvalve and the membrane expansion tank as per EN 12828.Check the cold water connection pressure (maximum 6 bar).

At higher pressure in the drinking water line, a pressurereducer must be installed.

Connect the drain hose to the connection piece for the safetyoverflow (fig. 3-2 to fig. 3-5, item 23).– Use transparent drain hose (draining water must be visi-

ble).– Connect the drain hose to an adequately dimensioned

waste water installation.– Drain should not be lockable.

Ventilate circulation pump as follows:– Open ventilation screw on circulation pump.– Allow pump wheel to run until water emerges from the

ventilation screw without bubbles.– Close ventilation screw on the circulation pump again.Check the minimum flow while the heating circuit is closed:– Minimum flow ROTEX HPSU compact 4-8 kW: >720 l/h– Minimum flow ROTEX HPSU compact 11-16 kW:

>900 l/h

5.1.4 Configuring the screed function parameters (only if needed)

With the screed function, the flow temperature is controlled ac-cording to a flow program with special parameters.

For more information about the screed function, how it is acti-vated and its operating sequence, see operating instructions "ROTEX RoCon HP controller".

The following rework is still necessary after the screed function has run, based on the connection variant.

a) Connection without a room thermostat:Set the desired flow temperature or activate weather-dependent set value regulation.

b) When connecting with room thermostat:Activate room thermostat.Set the desired flow temperature or activate weather-dependent set value regulation.

5.2 Re-commissioning

5.2.1 Requirements

– The ROTEX HPSU compact is fully connected.– The heating and hot water systems are filled and charged at

the right pressure (see chapter 7.4).– The storage tank is filled up to the overflow (see chapter 7.5).

5.2.2 Start-up

1. Check the cold water connection and, where necessary, fillthe potable water heat exchanger.

2. Set the dial on the controller to the required operating mode.

3. Turn power supply to ROTEX HPSU compact on.

4. Wait for the start phase.

5. After the start phase has completed, in heating mode,evacuate the heating system, check the installation pressureand adjust where necessary (max. 3 bar).

6. Carry out a visual inspection for leaks on all joints internally.Seal any leaks that occur in a professional manner.

7. If a ROTEX solar system is connected, commission thisin accordance with instructions provided. After connecting the ROTEX solar system, make a further check on the levelin the buffer storage tank.

CAUTION!

If the minimum flow is too low, an error message may appear and the heating system may shut down.

If the minimum flow is insufficient:If there is insufficient pumping capacity, a hydraulic barrier must be installed with an additional circu-lation pump (by the customer)

CAUTION!

Setting up in frosty conditions can result in damage to the entire heating system.

Only set up at temperatures below 0 °C when awater temperature of at least 5 °C can beguaranteed in the hydraulic system and storagetank.

ROTEX recommends not operating the installation in extremely frosty conditions.

The safety settings of the ROTEX HPSU compact hinder the operation of the heat pump if– the outdoor temperature is < 12 °C and simultane-

ously– the storage tank temperature is < 30 °C.Without Backup Heater:With an outdoor temperature < 12 °C, the storage tank water needs to be heated up by an external heater to > 30 °C.

With Backup Heater (BU9c): At an outdoor temperature < 12 °C and a storage tem-perature < 35 °C, the Backup Heater (BU9c) switches on automatically to heat the water in the storage tank to > 30 °C.

In order to accelerate the heating up process withthe BU9c, temporarily set the– Set parameter [Function Heating Rod] = "1"

and– Parameter [Power DHW] to 9000 W.– Set the rotary switch to operating mode

and the parameter [1x Hot Water] to "On"; oncethe heating process is complete, return theparameter to "Off".

6 x Decommissioning6 Decommissioning

6.1 Temporary shutdown

If the ROTEX HPSU compact is not needed for a long time, it can be temporarily decommissioned.

However, ROTEX advises against disconnecting the system from the power supply, and recommends instead that you only set the rotary switch on the RoCon HP controller to "Standby".

The system is then protected from frost. The pumps and valve protection functions are active.

If it is not possible to guarantee the power supply when there is danger of frost,– completely discharge the ROTEX HPSU compact on the

water side, or– suitable anti-frost measures are taken.

6.1.1 Draining the storage tankDisconnect the ROTEX HPSU compact from the powersupply.Connect the drain hose to the KFE-Befüllanschluss(fig. 6-1, item A) and to a waste water drainage point which isat least at ground level.

Tab. 6-1 Legend from fig. 6-1 to fig. 6-6

Without Solar installation

Insert the KFE-Befüllanschluss into the threaded piece(fig. 6-3, item E) and secure it using a clamping piece(fig. 6-3, item D).Place a suitable collection trough under the filling andemptying fitting.Immediately after unscrewing the threaded piece (fig. 6-4,item E) on the filling and emptying fitting and removing thesealing plug (fig. 6-4, item F), screw in the pre-assembledthreaded insert with the KFE-Befüllanschluss into the fillingand emptying fitting (fig. 6-4).

WARNING!

Danger of scalding and flooding when opening the solar return flow coupling or heating and hot water pipes due to escaping hot water.

Only drain the storage tank container or heatingsystem– when they have been left to cool sufficiently,– with a suitable device for the safe draining or

catching of escaping water,– wearing appropriate protective clothing.

CAUTION!

A heating system which is shut down can freeze in the event of frost and may suffer damage.

If there is any risk of frost, empty any water fromthe decommissioned heating system.If the heating system is not drained and there is the risk of frost, the power supplies must be securedand the external main switch must remain switched on.

If there is a danger of frost and the power supply cannot be guaranteed for just a few days, the unit's excellent heat insulation means that the ROTEX HPSU compact does not have to be drained, provided that the storage tank temperature is monitored regularly and does not fall below +3 °C.

However, there is no frost protection for the connected heat distribution system through this.

If no KFE-Befüllanschluss is available, the con-nection piece (fig. 6-1, item C) can be removed from the safety overflow (fig. 6-1, item B) and used.

Once the draining process is complete, this must be replaced before the heating system can be started again.

7 Service and maintenance

7.1 GeneralRegular inspection and maintenance of the ROTEX HPSU compact reduces energy consumption and ensures a long life and smooth operation.

Legal requirementsAccording to the F-gases directive (EC) No. 842/2006 item 3, op-erators (or owners) must regularly service their stationary cooling systems on a regular basis, check for leaks and remedy any leaks found as quickly as possible.

All maintenance and repair work on the refrigeration circuit must be documented in the operating manual. This obligation results from the directive published on June 14.th 2006 in the EU official gazette concerning greenhouse gases.

Operators of ROTEX heat pump systems are subject to the fol-lowing obligations:

With a total filling quantity of the system with refrigerant of3 kg – 30 kg or from 6 kg upwards in hermetic systems:

Checks by certified personnel at intervals no longer than12 months.

Compulsory documentation (maintenance and leak test) inthe operating manual, stating type and amount of filled-in or recovered refrigerant and the applied test method (in accordance with EC No. 1516/2007). Operator must keep documentation for at least five years after compiling it and show it to the responsible authority upon request.Responsibility of the operator of systems for recoveringF-gases by certified personnel.

7.2 Removing the protective cover

7.3 Activities to be performed annually

Have the inspection and maintenance carried out by authorised and trained HVAC engineers once a year, ideally before the heating period. This can prevent faults during the heating period.

ROTEX recommends an inspection and maintenance contract to ensure regular inspection and maintenance.

If the total filling quantity of the system with refrigerant is less than 3 kg, there is no European legal require-ment for testing intervals. ROTEX however, would rec-ommend entering into a maintenance contract and recording the work carried out in the operating manual in order to preserve guarantee claims.

Certified people are those who have proof of expertise for the European Community for work on stationary refrigeration systems (heat pumps) and air conditioning systems, according to the F-Gases Directive (EC) No. 842/2006.

– Up to 3 kg coolant fill quantity: expert certificatecategory 2

– 3 kg coolant fill quantity or over: expert certifi-cate category 1

WARNING!

Improperly carried out work on the ROTEX HPSU compact and its components that have been con-nected as an option can endanger human life and health and adversely affect the operation of the these components.

Work on the ROTEX HPSU compact (such asmaintenance or servicing) is only to be carried outby persons who are authorised and who havesuccessfully completed qualifying technical orvocational training and who have taken part inadvanced training sessions recognised by theappropriate responsible authorities. These include in particular certified heating engineers,qualified electricians and HVAC specialists,who because of their professional training andexpert knowledge, have experience in the profes-sional installation and maintenance of heating,cooling and air conditioning systems and heatpumps.

WARNING!

The gaseous refrigerant is heavier than air. In pits or in badly ventilated rooms it can collect in high con-centrations. Breathing in high concentrations of gaseous refrigerant leads to feelings of faintness and suffocation. Toxic gases can be formed if gas-eous refrigerants come into contact with open fire or hot objects.

When working on the refrigerant circuit, ensurethat the workplace is well ventilated.If necessary, before starting work, evacuate therefrigerant system completely.Never carry out work on the refrigerant circuit inclosed rooms or work pits.Do not let refrigerant come into contact with openfire, embers or hot objects.Never allow refrigerant to escape into the atmos-phere (forms high concentrations).After removing the service pipes from the fillingconnections, carry out a leakproof test on the refrigeration system. Refrigerant can escape through leaks.

If necessary, clean the safety overflow and drain hose andrelay it; replace damaged parts.

Visual check of connections, lines and safety pressure reliefvalve. In the event of damage, determine the cause.

Replace defective parts.Check all electrical components, connections, and cables.

Repair damaged parts or replace them.Check the water pressure of the cold water supply (< 6 bar)

and if necessary the fitting or adjustment of the pressurereducer.

Check the system water pressure on the RoCon HP controller of the ROTEX HPSU compact.

Top up the water in the heating system if necessary, untilthe pressure display is within the permitted range (see section 7.4).

Clean plastic surface of ROTEX HPSU compact with a softcloth and mild cleaning agent. Do not use cleaning agentscontaining aggressive solvents, as this will damage theplastic surface.Refit the cover (see section 7.2).Servicing of the external unit and other heating componentsconnected to the ROTEX HPSU compact should be carriedout as specified in the respective associated installation andoperation manuals.Complete the confirmation of servicing in the suppliedoperating manual of the ROTEX HPSU compact.

WARNING!

At normal atmospheric pressure and ambient temper-atures, liquid refrigerant vaporises so suddenly that on contact with skin or eyes it can cause the tissue to freeze (danger of going blind).

Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves.Never allow refrigerant to escape into the atmos-phere (high pressure at the point of the leak).When removing the service pipes from the fillingconnections, never hold the connections in thedirection of your body. Residual refrigerant couldescape.

WARNING!

Under the cover of the ROTEX HPSU compact tem-peratures of up to 90 °C can arise during operation. During operation, hot water temperatures > 60 °C arise.

– Touching components during or after operationleads to a risk of burns.

– Water discharged during maintenance and servic-ing work can cause scalding on contact with theskin.Before carrying out servicing and maintenancework, allow the ROTEX HPSU compact to cooldown sufficiently.Wear protective gloves.

WARNING!

Live parts can cause an electric shock on contact and cause fatal burns and injuries.

Before beginning work on live parts, disconnectthem from the power supply (switch off fuse,main switch) and secure against unintentionalrestart.Electrical connection and work on electricalcomponents must only be carried out by qualifiedelectricians in compliance with valid standardsand guidelines as well as the specifications of theenergy supply company.Covers off equipment and servicing flaps are tobe replaced as soon as the work is completed.

The ROTEX HPSU compact is designed to be low-maintenance. No corrosion protection equipment is re-quired (such as expendable anodes). This means there is no need for maintenance work such as changing the protective anodes or cleaning the inside of the storage tank.

– Check the filling level, if necessary replenish water.
