1 INTRODUCTION
The TDC series AQUACIAT CALEO heat pumps meet the heating needs of residential housing and the service industry.
They are air-cooled condensation units. These heat pumps provide safe and dependable heating in the operating range for which
they have been designed.
All the units are factory tested and checked. They are supplied with a full refrigerant charge.
Every unit meets standards EN 60-204 and EN 378-2 as well as the following European directives:
- Machinery 2006/42/EC - EMC 2004/108/EC - LVD 2006/95/EC - PED 97/23/EC
-> Category 2
Technicians who install, commission, operate and service the unit must possess the necessary training and certifications,
understand the instructions given in this manual and be familiar with the specific technical characteristics of the installation site.

4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid any risk of accident during installation, commissioning and adjustments, the following equipment specificities must be
taken into account:
- Pressurised refrigerant circuits
- Presence of refrigerant
- Presence of electrical voltage
Only experienced and qualified persons may work on such equipment.
The recommendations and instructions in this manual and on each drawing provided with the unit must be followed.
In the case of units with pressure equipment or components, we recommend that you contact your professional organisation for
information on regulations that apply to operators or owners of pressure equipment or components. The specifications of this
pressure equipment or these pressure components are given on the data plates or in the regulatory documentation provided with
the product.
A fire protection device is fitted as standard on all units.
Overpressure protection
Each refrigerating circuit in each unit is protected against the risk of overpressure resulting from fire.
Safety valves
- The safety valve or valves protect the HP and LP circuits against overpressure caused by an increase in the outdoor temperature,
when the unit is off. (E.g.: external fire)
- This safety valve is not considered a safety device as defined in section 2.11 of appendix 1 of the pressure equipment directive.
Allowable pressure (PS) LP side
- The LP value (given on the name plate) corresponds to the situation with the unit switched off. This value is given according to
the pressure/temperature ratio with an outdoor temperature of 50°C, depending on the unit. These temperatures correspond to
the least favourable situation the unit could be subjected to, excluding an external fire.
The LP side pipes are sized for the maximum allowable pressure.
The LP value is linked to the relevant unit and cannot be exceeded.

7 UNIT LOCATION
These units are typically used for refrigeration and are not required to withstand earthquakes. Earthquake resistance has
therefore not been checked.
The fitter must check the following points before setting up the unit in its intended location:
- Unit designed for outdoor installation.
This unit is designed to be rain resistant, but it may be installed under a shelter with adequate ventilation on all four sides.
(Choose a sunny location whenever possible).
- Ductable unit: the room in which the unit is installed must comply with the requirements of EN 378-3 and other specifications
applicable on the installation site.
- The surface area of the ground or structure must be strong enough to bear the unit's weight.
- The unit must be perfectly level.
- There must be sufficient clearance around and above the unit to allow servicing and maintenance (see assembly drawing
provided with unit).
- Take the precautions required by regulations governing the storage and installation location to ensure adequate
stability of the unit (strong winds, earthquakes, etc.) particularly if it is to be installed on a roof. In some cases rooftop
installation may be prohibited.
- The unit must be anchored if wind speeds can exceed 120 km/h.
- The intended location must be above flood level.
- Position the unit above the average snow depth in the region where the unit is installed.
Provide a means of draining defrost water and preventing it freezing on the ground.
- Sound level:
Our units are designed to operate quietly.
When designing your system, you should take into consideration how and where it will be placed outdoors in order to
limit structure-borne and airborne radiated noise.
To ensure vibrations transmitted by solid materials are reduced as much as possible, fitting anti-vibration mounts
between the unit support and frame (see the section on anti-vibration mounts) is strongly recommended, as is fitting
flexible couplings on the hydraulic pipes.
Have an analysis carried out by an acoustical engineer.
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature must not exceed 50°C during the unit's off cycles.
EN - 4 NA 09.159 E
WARNING:
- Attach the slings only to the anchorage points intended for this purpose and which are designated on the unit.
- Use slings with a suitable lifting capacity and follow the lifting instructions on the drawings provided with the unit.
- Caution: the centre of gravity is not necessarily at the middle of the unit and the forces applied to the slings are not always
identical.
- Raise and lower the unit carefully. Take care not to tilt it by more than 15° to avoid any subsequent problems with its operation.
- Use a frame with an adjustable centre of gravity to spread the slings away from the top of the unit.
- Always protect the unit casing (panels, posts, front access door) from damage during handling. Only the base frame is designed
to withstand handling.
- Safety during lifting can be ensured only if all these instructions are followed.

11.2 Installing the filter
Installation of filter ==> mandatory
To protect against the risk of clogging in or damage to the plate heat exchanger, a screen filter kit
must be installed on the water return. The filter should be as close as possible to the exchangers
and be easy to access for disassembly and cleaning.
Insulate the filter or install it indoors (protect from freezing temperatures).

11.3 Installing the flexible connectors
The pipes and tubes should not transmit any forces.
Flexible connectors must be used to connect the water pipes to limit as much as possible the
transmission of vibrations indoors. It is essential that they be fitted if the unit is installed on anti-vibration
mounts. Insulate the pipes and hoses carefully to prevent heat loss and condensation.
Precaution:
As the flexible connections are insulated, ensure they are not bent too acutely to avoid pinching the
inner tube and restricting the flow of water.
Always maintain the appropriate straight sections (L) and bend radii (R).

* Regulated system in France
- Phase unbalance must not exceed 2% and 10% for voltage and current, respectively.
If any of the above requirements are not met, immediately contact your power supplier and make sure the unit is not turned on
until the necessary corrective actions have been taken. Failure to do so will automatically void the CIAT warranty.
Wiring is to be sized by the fitter to suit the characteristics of the installation site and comply with applicable regulations. Once
the size of the wires has been selected, the fitter must determine any changes needed on site to facilitate wiring.
- Wiring must be selected based on:
The maximum nominal current (refer to the specifications in section 16.3).
The distance between the unit and its power supply.
The protection to be placed at the power source.
The neutral operating conditions.
The electrical connections (refer to the wiring diagram provided with the unit).

13 COMMISSIONING
It is advisable not to connect gauges to the refrigeration circuit when starting up the unit (except in the case of incidents).
Taking temperature readings is sufficient in most cases.
13.1 Checks
- Check for any refrigerant leaks.
- Open the valves on the water circuits and make sure water is flowing through the heat pump.
- Bleed all the air out of the water circuits.
- Check for loose electrical connections.
- Make sure that the power supply voltage is the same as the unit voltage and that it remains within the allowable limits (compared
to the rated voltages).
13.2 Starting the unit
1 - Turn on the unit.
2 - Turn the dial on the terminal to the desired operating mode.
3 - Using the + and - buttons, adjust the setpoint temperature
to well above room temperature in heating mode.
The compressor will start up after a few seconds.
4 - Check the direction of rotation of the compressor in three-phase mode. Heating mode
If the direction of rotation is incorrect: fault d1.1 appears (low input current, hot crankcase, unusual noise, see section 16.2).
To solve the problem, swap the two power supply phases.
EN - 14 NA 09.159 E
13.4 Differential water pressure switch
Air in the differential water pressure switches could cause malfunctions to occur.
It may be wise to bleed this air. To do this, simply loosen the nut at the bottom of the
pressure switch (approximately 1/2 a turn until the air is purged) then retighten it. Next, Out
check for leaks.
The differential water pressure switch is a safety component. Bypassing it is
therefore strictly prohibited; doing so will create a safety hazard to property and
people.

19 ECODESIGN
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006 on certain greenhouse gases.
R410A, R134a and R407C are refrigerant gases with the following environmental impacts:
1
No impact on the ozone layer.
They have an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) of 0.
2 Impact on the greenhouse effect: Global Warming Potential (GWP) of each gas.
- R410A----------GWP=2088
- R407C----------GWP=1800
- R134a-----------GWP=1430
- Users must have systems containing refrigerant periodically checked for leaks by qualified personnel. The frequency of
checks depends on the refrigerant charge:
- Every 12 months for units containing 3 to 30 kg of refrigerant.
(2Kg in France, edict and decree of 7 May 2007)
- Every 6 months for units containing 30 to 300 kg of refrigerant.
- Every 3 months for units containing more than 300 kg of refrigerant.
(Implementation of leak detection system)
-U
sers of any system containing over 3 kg of refrigerant (2 kg in France) are required to keep a log of the quantities and types
of refrigerants used, added or recovered, and to include the dates and results of sealing tests, as well as the name of the
technician and the technician's company. Identification of technician & of company concerned.
- A leak test must be carried out one month after any leak repairs.
- System users are responsible for collecting used refrigerant and having it recycled, regenerated or destroyed.

20 TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATING PROBLEMS
Initial advice
- Faults detected by the safety devices are not necessarily caused by a sudden change in the magnitude being monitored.
- Perform the checks listed in the table (below) if you notice that a measurement deviates from its normal value and gradually
moves closer to the safety limit.
IMPORTANT:
First and foremost, bear in mind that most faults that occur on the units have simple causes that are often the same for all. Look
for these causes first. EN
There are three such causes in particular:
● The fouling level of the exchangers
● Problems with the fluid circuits
● Failures of electric components such as the relay coil or the electrical valve, etc.

Incorrect ventilation Check the direction of rotation of the fan.
