Overview

This document serves as the operation manual for the Daikin Altherma 3 R MT ECH₂O system, providing users with essential information for its safe and efficient use. It is part of a comprehensive documentation set that includes general safety precautions, a user reference guide, installation manuals for both outdoor and indoor units, an installer reference guide, and an addendum book for optional equipment. The manual emphasizes the importance of reading all documentation carefully before operating the user interface to ensure optimal performance and encourages users to consult their installer for system configuration details.

Function Description

The Daikin Altherma 3 R MT ECH₂O system is designed to provide space heating and cooling (for reversible models), as well as domestic hot water production. Depending on the system layout, it can heat or cool a main zone (e.g., living room) and additional zones (e.g., bedroom), and produce domestic hot water stored in an energy storage tank. The system utilizes a heat pump, with an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and can connect to various heat emitters such as underfloor heating, radiators, heat pump convectors, or fan coil units. A dedicated Human Comfort Interface (BRC1HHDA) or an external room thermostat can be used to control room temperature.

The system features a user interface with an LCD screen, dials, and buttons for navigation and setting adjustments. A status indicator with LEDs shows the unit's operating mode (standby, operation, or malfunction). The ON/OFF operation for space heating/cooling and tank heating can be controlled via the user interface. The system also supports weather-dependent operation, where the desired leaving water or tank temperature is automatically adjusted based on the outdoor ambient temperature, aiming to optimize energy consumption.

For domestic hot water, the system offers a "Reheat mode" where the storage tank continuously heats to a set temperature when it drops below a certain value. A "Scheduled reheat mode" allows the tank temperature to vary according to a programmed schedule. Additionally, a "Powerful operation" mode can be activated to quickly heat domestic hot water using a backup or booster heater, useful during periods of high demand.

Usage Features

The user interface allows for various adjustments and monitoring:

  • User Permission Levels: The system supports different user permission levels (User and Advanced user), with the Advanced user having access to more detailed information and settings. The default User pin code is 0000, and the Advanced user pin code is 1234.
  • Navigation: Breadcrumbs are available to help users locate their position within the menu structure. The left and right dials are used to navigate through screens, menus, and settings, and to adjust values.
  • Space Heating/Cooling Control:
    • Users can turn space heating/cooling operation ON or OFF.
    • The desired room temperature can be adjusted during room temperature control.
    • The desired leaving water temperature can be set, which is particularly relevant for different heat emitter types.
    • Weather-dependent curves (slope-offset or 2-points) can be configured to automatically adjust heating/cooling based on outdoor temperature.
    • Operation modes can be set to "Heating," "Cooling," or "Automatic," with the "Automatic" mode allowing for automatic changeover between heating and cooling based on outdoor temperature, restricted by a monthly schedule.
  • Domestic Hot Water Control:
    • Tank heating operation can be turned ON or OFF.
    • The tank temperature setpoint can be adjusted in "Reheat only" mode.
    • "Powerful operation" can be activated for rapid domestic hot water heating.
  • Scheduling: Users can program weekly schedules for room temperature or domestic hot water, allowing for customized operation based on daily routines. Schedules can be edited, copied, and named.
  • Information Read-out: The system provides access to various information, including energy data (electricity input, produced heat, energy flow), malfunction history, dealer contact information, sensor readings (room, tank, outdoor, leaving water temperature), actuator status/mode, and current operation modes (e.g., defrost/oil return).
  • Holiday Mode: This feature allows users to set specific activation and deactivation dates for holiday periods, during which the system can operate under different settings to save energy.
  • Quiet Mode: The system can be configured to operate in a quiet mode, potentially reducing noise levels during specific times or periods.
  • Smart Energy: If connected to solar panels or a smart grid, the system can display when smart energy is available and being used for space heating or domestic hot water.
  • Onecta App: If set up by the installer, the Daikin Onecta app can be used to control and monitor the system remotely.

Maintenance Features

The manual outlines maintenance responsibilities for both the installer and the end-user:

  • Installer Maintenance: The installer is required to perform yearly maintenance and can be contacted for service through the dealer information available on the user interface.
  • End-User Maintenance:
    • Keep the area around the unit clean.
    • Clean the user interface with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding detergents.
    • Regularly check if the water pressure is above 1 bar.
    • Visually check the water level inside the storage tank; if the red level indicator is visible, water needs to be added (refer to the Installer reference guide for details).
  • Refrigerant Information: The product contains mildly flammable fluorinated greenhouse gases (R32) with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) value of 675. Users are warned NOT to vent gases into the atmosphere. Periodical inspections for refrigerant leaks may be required based on applicable legislation.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting section for common symptoms, offering possible causes and corrective actions. This includes advice for feeling too cold/hot in the living room, water at the tap being too cold, heat pump failure, and gurgling noises after commissioning.
    • Malfunction Display: In case of a malfunction, an "Error" or "Malfunction" symbol will appear on the home screen, and a short and long description of the malfunction can be accessed via the user interface.
    • Malfunction History: Advanced users can check a list of recent malfunctions.
    • Air Purging: If gurgling noises occur, it may indicate air in the system, and purging air from the system or heat emitters/collectors is recommended. Users are cautioned to check for malfunction symbols before purging air from heat emitters/collectors, and to ensure adequate ventilation if such symbols are present, due to the potential for refrigerant leakage into the water circuit.
  • Disposal: Users are explicitly warned NOT to dismantle the system themselves. Dismantling, refrigerant treatment, oil, and other parts must be handled by an authorized installer in compliance with applicable legislation. Units must be treated at a specialized treatment facility for reuse, recycling, and recovery. Waste batteries are also marked for specialized treatment.
