It is a safe and convenient solution that provides heating, hot water and in certain cases cooling, for your home at a low cost. We thank you for the confidence that you have shown in us by buying a heat pump from Thermia. We hope that you will benefit from it for many, many years to come.
User Guide iTec Safety precautions Important information The front of the heat pump must only be Warning opened by qualified installers. This appliance can be used by children aged 8 Warning years and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack...
User Guide iTec Installation and maintenance Only qualified installers may install, operate Caution and carry out maintenance and repair work on the heat pump. Only qualified electricians may modify the Caution electrical installation. Only qualified refrigeration technicians may Caution work on the refrigerant circuit.
User Guide iTec About your heat pump The heat pump is a complete heat pump installation that consists of two basic units: a heat pump placed out- doors and a control unit placed indoors. The outdoor unit is available in up to three models and the indoor unit is available in two models.
User Guide iTec 3.1.2 Indoor unit iTec Standard iTec Total Control module (transparent in im- age) Immersion heater Reversing valve Circulation pump Water heater 3.1.3 Heating The heat pump can produce heat for heating (house, pool) and hot water. The hot water requirement is prioritised before the heating requirement. The heating requirement is calculated from outdoor temperature and set heat curve.
Hot water function iTec Total is adapted for hot water production. Production of heating and hot water cannot occur at the same time because the reversing valve for heating and hot water is positioned after the heat pump and the immer- sion heater.
During operation the air heat exchanger is cooled by the energy exchange, at the same time the humidity cau- ses it to become covered in frost at low outdoor temperatures. iTec has an automatic function to defrost the air heat exchanger using the energy from whatever heat source is currently active.
5–10°C. If the differences are greater or less, the heat pump is less efficient and savings are low- The speed controlled circulation pump in iTec always ensures that the temperature difference is retained. The control equipment detects if the balance is upset and increases or decreases the speed of the circulation pump as necessary.
User Guide iTec Control system The heat pump has an integrated control system which automatically calculates the heating and cooling de- mand in the house to ensure that the correct amount of heating and cooling is produced and emitted where necessary.
User Guide iTec Indicator The indicator at the bottom of the control panel has three modes: ▪ Not lit, means that the heat pump is not powered. ▪ When the green light shines continuously, the heat pump has power and is ready to produce heat, cool- ing or hot water.
User Guide iTec Message Meaning NO HEAT DEMAND Indicates that there is no heating or hot water production demand. NO COOLING DEMAND Indicates that there is no cooling demand. COMPRESSOR START -- Indicates that there is a need for heat, hot water or cooling and that the heat pump will start in XX minutes.
User Guide iTec Settings and adjustments The installer carries out the basic settings of the heat pump at installation. A number of settings and adjust- ments that you can carry out yourself are described below. Before changing the control computer’s set- tings, first find out what these changes mean.
User Guide iTec Adjusting the indoor temperature The indoor temperature is adjusted by changing the heat pump’s heat curve, which is the control system’s tool for calculating the heating demand, the integral value. The integral value is determined by comparing the ac- tual temperature of the heating system's supply line with the calculated value, the setpoint value.

User Guide iTec Parameter Description DURING Choose between the following modes: AUTO, OPEN or CLOSED COOLING CONSTANT The temperature that the shunt wishes to retrieve from the buffer tank and distribute to the TEMP house. Only applies when the buffer tank is activated and with shunt group connected.
User Guide iTec Distribution circuit 1 and 2 In addition to the main circuit for heating and cooling two distribution circuits can be controlled individually. The same parameters are used for these as in the main circuit (menu HEATING). Hot water HOT WATER switched on will enable hot water production.
User Guide iTec If ROOM shows 20°C the heat curve is unaffected. If ROOM shows higher or lower, this indicates that the heat curve has been adjusted up or down. Reading the operating time COMPRESSOR shows the total time in hours that the heat pump has been OPERAT.
User Guide iTec 5.8.1 Setting of temperature reduction To set the TEMP. REDUCTION, do as follows: 1. Press left arrow (<) to enter the INFORMATION menu. 2. Press (-) button to navigate down to HEATING menu and press right arrow (>) to enter.
User Guide iTec Example of a DATE setting START 18 June 2017 (09:00), (00:01 is the earliest setting for START) STOP 20 August 2017 (16:00), (23:59 is the latest setting for STOP) Example of a DAYS/WEEK setting START (08:00) STOP...
User Guide iTec Regular checks Checking operation During normal operation, the alarm indicator lights green continuously to show that everything is OK. When an alarm is triggered, the display will flash and the indicator will flash green at the same time as a text message is shown in the display.
User Guide iTec Check the water level in the heating circuit The line pressure of the installation must be checked once a month. The external manometer must show a val- ue between 0.8-1.5 bar, depending on the system's requirements. If the value is below 0.8 bar, when the water in the heating system is cold, the water must be topped up (applies in the event of an empty expansion tank).
User Guide iTec Cleaning the strainer for the heating circuit The heat pump must be switched off at the main switch before the cleaning can be star- ted. The strainer must be cleaned twice a year after installation. The interval can be extended if there is evidence that cleaning twice a year is not necessary.
User Guide iTec Default setting in the control computer The first column in the table below shows the parameters that can be adjusted by the User. The second column shows settings made at the factory, and the third column the settings made by the installation contractor in connection with installation of the heat pump.
