7.8. Setting an additional heat source (Other thermal)
After accessing the "Additional heat source" function,
you can activate or deactivate the substitute heat
source and set the outdoor temperature threshold be-
low which it will be activated in place of the heat pump;
you can also define the logic for managing the substitu-
tion. The available logic items are:
Logic 1
With this logic, the 2-way valve is managed on the basis
of the control panel settings; the operating modes will
therefore be managed when the temperature measured by the outside air probe is lower than the "Addi-
tional heat source temp." parameter:
• Heating: the unit (and its circulator) will not be active, the 3-way valve will be blocked on the system
side, and the additional heat source will be activated; once the set value has been reached, the addi-
tional heat source will be deactivated and the unit will activate its circulator.
• DHW: the unit (and its circulator) will not be active, the 3-way valve will be blocked on the DHW side,
and the additional heat source will be activated.
• Heating + DHW: the unit (and its circulator) will not be active, the 3-way valve will be blocked on the
system side, and the additional heat source will be activated; once the set value has been reached,
the additional heat source will be deactivated and the unit will activate its circulator; the DHW side
will be managed using only the electric heaters of the compatible Aermec accessory tank.
Logic 2 (not available for BHP units)
With this logic, the 2-way valve is managed on the basis of the control panel settings; the operating
modes will therefore be managed when the temperature measured by the outside air probe is lower than
the "Additional heat source temp." parameter:
• Heating: the unit (and its circulator) will not be active, the 3-way valve will be blocked on the system
side, and the additional heat source will be activated; once the set value has been reached, the addi-
tional heat source will be deactivated and the unit will activate its circulator.
• DHW: the unit (and its circulator) will not be active, the 3-way valve will be blocked on the DHW side,
and the additional heat source will be activated.
• Heating + DHW:
1. If the priority is "Heating" (paragraph 4.5), the unit (and its circulator) will not be active, the 3-way
valve will be blocked on the system side, and the additional heat source will be activated; once the
set value has been reached, the additional heat source will be deactivated and the unit will activate
its circulator; the DHW side will be managed using only the electric heaters of the compatible Aer-
mec accessory tank.
2. If the priority is "DHW" (paragraph 4.5), the unit (and its circulator) will not be active, the 3-way valve
will be blocked on the DHW side, and the additional heat source will be activated; once the set value
has been reached on the DHW side, the 3-way valve will be moved to the system side and the addi-
tional heat source will work for heating.
Logic 3:
This logic disables the heat pump and activates a 230V signal to the “Other thermal” terminals (refer to the
installation manual for more information); this signal activates the additional heat source when the tem-
perature measured by the outside air probe is lower than the "Additional heat source temp." parameter
(which will work in stand alone mode compared with the unit).
