5.1 Outdoor Unit Draining Operation YUTAKI M has no drain port factory supplied. It is highly recommended to install a drain port valve attached to the water outlet of the YUTAKI M unit in order to ease the operation of draining. When the drain port is installed the draining procedure for the YUTAKI M follows the next steps: 1 Switch OFF the main power of the unit.

5.3.8 Water filling 1 Check that a water check valve (field supplied) with a shut-off valve (field supplied) is connected to the water filling point (water inlet connection) for filling the space heating hydraulic circuit (see “5.1 Outdoor Unit Draining Operation”). 2 Make sure all the valves are open (water inlet/outlet shut-off valves and the rest of valves of the space heating installation components).
Page 32
NOTE • The unit is equipped with a manual air purger (factory supplied) at the highest location of the unit. Anyway, if there are higher points in the water installation, air might be trapped inside water pipes, which could cause system malfunction. In that case, additional air purgers (field supplied) should be installed to ensure no air enters into the water circuit.

Using filling water that does not meet the stated quality requirements can cause a considerably reduce in service life. The responsibility will be out of Hitachi warranties. The following water quality minimum requirement:...
Page 34
As DHW Tank water is being used for storing drinking water, this water has to be in accordance with national regulations and Hitachi’s quality minimum requirements. The use of softeners, active anodes or other protective systems will not bring a derogation from Hitachi’s provided warranty. 5.4 Minimum water volume description The following part shows how to calculate the minimum water volume in the system for product protection (anti-hunting) and temperature drop at defrosting.
Page 35
1 Minimum required water volume during defrosting The following formula is used to make the calculation: Where: V = Required water volume (m 360 x Q ΔT = Permissible water temperature drop (°C) ΔT x 4168.8 = Heat loss during defrosting (kW) = Heat demand from the installation (kW) = Cooling load on the YUTAKI M (kW) V = Required water volume(ft...

Page 41
Mark Part name Description Available input for an instantaneous heating of the domestic hot water of Input 6 (DHW boost) (*) the tank. The measuring of the real power consumption can be done connecting an external power meter. The number of pulses of the power meter is Input 7 (Power meter) a variable which must be set.
6.1.2 Input terminals (Default input functions) ◆ Room thermostat communication cables Optional wireless ON/OFF room thermostat The heat pump system has been designed to allow the connection of a remote ON/OFF thermostat to effectively control the home temperature. Depending on the room temperature, the thermostat will turn the system to ON or OFF.

Page 46
◆ Solar (Default for input 4) This input comes from a solar panel sensor. The solar combination by input demand allows HSW to be heated by solar system when there is enough solar energy available. The connection of this input signal has to be done between terminals 16 and 18 at TB2.
Page 47
◆ Power Meter (Default for input 7) This function is used to monitor real consumption of the system by means an external power meter device connected at this input. The calculation method is done by measuring real consumption of the whole installation with one power meter device or 2 separate power meter (one for indoor unit and another one for outdoor unit).
Page 48
Output terminals (Default output functions) ◆ Mixing valve for Circuit 2 The mixing valve is controlled to maintain the second heating temperature at the second heating temperature set point. The control system decides how much to open or close the mixing valve to achieve the desired position of the valve.
Page 49
◆ 3 Way valve for DHW tank output YUTAKI units can be used to heat DHW. The signal is used on a 3-way motorized diverting valve and to provide control of supply water flow (water flow for space heating when there is no signal, and water flow for DHW when signal is ON) (L1) (L2)

◆ Auxiliary boiler or heater (Default for Output 3) The auxiliary boiler or heater can be used when the heat pump cannot achieve the require temperature by itself. Auxiliary Heat (Output 3) ◆ Solar (Default for output 4) This output is used when solar mode is enabled (from Unit controller) and the temperature in the solar panel rises above the water temperature in the domestic hot water tank (DHWT).
