Permissible height difference between the When replacing the PCB, the values for energy consump- tion, energy yields and efficiencies are reset in the heat outdoor unit and the indoor unit pump's control panel. In relation to the outdoor unit's installation site, the indoor unit's installation site may be located higher or lower.
– Minimum clearance: 200 mm Wall-mounting the product Cut the enclosed adhesive strips (1) for noise reduction into two equally sized pieces (3 cm x 3 cm). Affix the adhesive strips to the product as shown in the figure. Minimum clearances and installation clearances Check the load-bearing capacity of the wall.
▶ Removing the front casing Check whether the expansion relief valve's drain pipe- work opposite the outdoor air remains open, is installed in a frost-free environment, always runs downwards and visibly ends in an open drain. ▶ For heating installations with solenoid valves or thermo- statically controlled valves, install a bypass with bypass valve in order to guarantee a volume flow of at least 40%.
Connecting the building circuit Electrical installation Preparing the electrical installation Danger! Risk of death from electric shock as a res- ult of an improper electrical connection! An improper electrical connection may neg- atively affect the operational safety of the product and result in material damage or per- sonal injury.
Electrical partition The electrical partitions are referred to as "disconnectors" in these instructions. The fuse or the circuit breaker that is installed in the building's meter/fuse box is usually used as the disconnector. Installing components for the energy supply company lockout function Condition: Energy supply company lockout function provided The heat generation of the heat pump can be switched off in- termittently.
X311 X310 X300 Note the specifications on the sticker on the electronics box. Install a disconnector for the product. Use the preinstalled 3-pole power supply cable (3 x 4 mm Connect the power supply cable to L1, N, PE. Guide the power supply cables through the strain relief (1) to the terminals on the power supply PCB.
Use the strain relief clamps to secure the cables in place.

▶ Installing the system control in the For parallel routing to mains connection lines, guide the cables in accordance with the applicable regulations, e.g. electronics box on cable trays. ▶ Condition: Installing a multiMATIC VRC 700 Exceptions: For wall breaks and in the electronics box, it is acceptable to not reach the minimum clearance.
6.13 Carrying out the wiring Condition: Activation of the circulation via an external button Note There is a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) at con- nections S20 and S21. Note If the energy supply company lockout function is used, connect a potential-free normally open con- tact with a breaking capacity of 24 V/0.1 A to con- nection S21.
