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.

2 SHIPMENT OF THE UNIT


During shipment, the unit must be securely strapped in place to prevent it moving and protect it from damage.
If the unit is shipped in a container, the container must be easily loadable and unloadable.

3 UNPACKING
3.1 Check on delivery
Check the unit for any damage or missing components upon delivery.
Make mention of any damaged or missing parts on the delivery slip.
IMPORTANT: you must notify the carrier of any damage and/or missing parts by registered letter within three days of the delivery
date.
Store at a maximum temperature of 50°C.
3.2 Identifying the equipment
Each unit has a data plate (A) bearing an identification number.
Check the plate on the unit to make sure you have received the right model.
Please include the identification number in all correspondence with CIAT.

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.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the main disconnect switch in the unit's electrical panel is in the OFF position before working on the unit.

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.

8 HANDLING AND POSITIONING


To raise the unit, attach the slings to the designated lift holes.
The coordinates of the centre of gravity and the positions of the anchorage points are given on the assembly drawing.
The unit may also be lifted and moved using a forklift truck.
If a forklift truck is used, you must take the necessary precautions to prevent the unit sliding on the forks. You must also follow the
instructions listed on the label on the unit. Failure to follow these instructions may cause the unit to fall and cause physical injury.

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.

- To avoid damaging the casing, use textile slings with shackles.

- 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.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the equipment and physical injury.

9 LOCATION
9.1 Location of the unit
Clearances to be maintained

There are two reasons why it is important that the units are installed with the necessary
clearances:

● So that air discharged by the fan is not drawn in through the intake and recirculated.

● To allow sufficient room for maintenance on the unit.


Two units: A = 2 m
Three or more units: A = 3 m

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).
Install in the direction of flow.
Filter mesh: 600 µm maximum
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).

11.7 Frost protection (for the account of the fitter)

Depending on whether you live in your home year-round or seasonally (principal or secondary residence) and on its
location (e.g. hot, temperate or cold climate, high altitude), your system may be subject to freezing temperatures.
There is no need to add glycol to your system if you are absolutely sure that there is no risk of freezing in your area.
If this is not the case, follow the procedure below:

12 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
- The units are designed in accordance with the requirements of European standard EN 60204-1.
- They comply with the requirements of the machinery and EMC directives.
- All the wiring must meet the requirements of current regulations governing the place of installation
(For France, NF C 15100).
- Always refer to the wiring diagram provided with the unit.
- Follow the electrical power supply specifications indicated on the data plate.
- The voltage must remain within the range indicated:
 Power circuit:
400 V (+10% / -10%) - three-phase - 50 Hz + Earth
230 V (+6% / -10%) - three-phase - 50 Hz + Earth
* 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).
- The electrical connections are to be made as follows:
 Connect the power circuit first.
 Then connect the protective conductor to the earth terminal.
Connect the general fault alarm potential-free (dry) contact and the automatic operation control (where applicable).
 Interlock the compressors with the circulation pump.
- The external control must be connected using a potential-free (dry) contact.
- The motor disconnect switch has a breaking capacity of 15 kA.
- The switch handle is supplied in the electrical cabinet to avoid damage in transit. It is your responsibility to fit it to the door.

It is your responsibility to protect the unit from mains voltage spikes and voltage spikes caused by lightning. Depending
on the geographic location and the type of mains network (buried or overhead), you may have to install a lightning rod.
Check your local electrical codes and regulations. Failure to comply with the requirements of standards in force in the
country of installation (e.g. NF C 15100 in France) will void the CIAT warranty.
12.1 Wire cross-sections and electrical specifications
The cross-section of the cable must be selected with care based on:
- the maximum current rating of the unit (see electrical specifications table below),
- the distance between the electrical box and the Aquaciat Caleo,

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.

13.3 Bleeding the air


To keep your system running smoothly and, more specifically, if your Aquaciat Caleo is installed at a high point, you
must bleed the air contained inside it at the time of commissioning. This can be done by opening the manual bleed valve
(located near the expansion vessel, compressor compartment) when turning the unit on or by using a section of the water
line and an automatic bleed valve at a level above the Aquaciat Caleo.

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.

14-4-2 Using a boiler as a backup


Foreword
Corrosion of heating sources
Heating sources, such as those made of steel, are susceptible to corrosion. Please contact your boiler manufacturer to determine
whether the heating source is compatible with Microconnect control.
A few recommendations
- Do not run the burner and the heat pump at the same time when the water temperature is below 40°C. If P6 = 5 and you are
in doubt, adjust P7 and P9 to the same value.
- Do not short-circuit the boiler corrosion protection systems (e.g. heating circulator kept off until the burner raises the heating
source temperature to over 40°C).
a - Boiler operated by its own control system P6 = 3 or 4
Typical application: boiler with an advanced electronic control system.
When P6 is set to 3 or 4, the Microconnect controller only provides a 'boiler On' authorisation contact. This contact (terminal
block J1 - terminals 1 and 5) remains closed once the outdoor temperature drops below the value of P9 or a fault occurs on the
heat pump. The boiler burner is then controlled by the boiler's control system.

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.

- Taken regularly, readings should make it possible to anticipate future trips.

- 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.
