Heating mode is resumed after successful completion of the defrost process either
through process reversal or with the fan. "Duration defrost lock", "Time up to forced
defrost" and "Defrost settling time" (2959 OEM) start to run again.
On completion of "Defrost settling time" (2959 OEM), "Temp diff defrost icefree" is
acquired and used to generate the new setpoint (8478).
When there is a heat pump lock pending, any active defrost process is completed.
Defrosting by reversing the process can also be accomplished manually, either via
input Ex1..7 or via the operating line (7152). With manual defrosting, no consideration
is given to the release temperature (2951) and to "Duration defrost lock" (2962).
Manual defrosting is also possible during "Duration defrost lock" and above "Defrost
release below OT" (2951). A defrost process in progress is completed, independent of
"Defrost release below OT".

The defrost function can be released only when the current source inlet temperature
(B91) lies below the release temperature set here. Above this outside temperature, the
automatic defrost function is not active.
(Locked if B91 > Par2952 + 1K)
If the defrost process could not be successfully completed, another attempt is made
after a preheating phase (see "Duration defrost lock"). If, during the number of attempts
set here, it was still not possible to successfully complete the defrost process, the heat
pump is switched off and generates an error message. (Fault 247: Defrosting fault).
For the heat pump to resume operation, the fault must be manually reset.
When the heat pump is switched on in heating mode, "Duration defrost lock" begins to
run. It is at the end of this period of time at the earliest the controller is allowed to start
the next evaporator defrost attempt.
Prerequisite for defrosting is that the source temperature (B91) lies below the set
release temperature (2951).
After a prematurely aborted defrosting attempt (see "Defrost time max"), the heating
water is preheated during the period of time "Duration defrost lock". If an electric
immersion heater is installed in the flow or in the buffer / combi storage tank, it is
switched on to support preheating. Then, a direct change to defrost mode is made.
If the heat pump was in operation during the period of time set here, without defrosting
in the meantime, forced defrosting will take place.
The same prerequisite applies here: the source temperature (B91) must lie below the
set release temperature (2951).
If, in the case of defrost through process reversal, it was not possible to successfully
defrost during "Defrost time max" or based on the minimum temperature in the
condenser circuit (par OEM 2970), the controller aborts the defrost process and tries
again after the preheating phase (see "Duration defrost lock").
The permitted number of defrost attempts is limited by "Numb defrost attempts max"
(2958).
