Emergency
Emergency
When the heat pump fails to operate, the backup heater can serve as an
emergency heater. It then takes over the heat load either automatically or by
manual interaction.
▪ When Emergency is set to Automatic and a heat pump failure occurs, the
backup heater automatically takes over the domestic hot water production and
space heating.
▪ When Emergency is set to Manual and a heat pump failure occurs, the
domestic hot water heating and space heating stops.
To manually recover it via the user interface, go to the Malfunctioning main
menu screen and confirm whether the backup heater can take over the heat load
or not.
We recommend to set Emergency to Automatic if the house is unattended for
longer periods.

INFORMATION

# Code Description
[9.6.1] [5‑02] Space heating priority: Defines
whether backup heater will assist the heat
pump during domestic hot water operation.
For optimal operation and lowest power
consumption, it is strongly recommended to
keep the default setting (0).
If the backup heater operation is limited
([4‑00]=0) and the outdoor temperature is
lower than setting [5‑03], the domestic hot
water will not be heated with the backup
heater.
