System Operation

Heating Control

There should be room thermostat installed if you have radiators and possibly multiple room stats if you have underfloor heating. See thermostat handover document for information on thermostats. The heating is controlled by these thermostats. Please do not use the Samsung Controller to control your heating.

When a thermostat calls for heat, the heat pump system starts up, it will take time to get up to temperature. It is not instant. Within 10 minutes you should feel the radiators to warm up. If desired, you can adjust room temperature at the thermostat, but it is not recommended to turn off room thermostats.

To get the best from your heat pump it is recommended to keep room stats at as close to constant temperature as possible. Do not turn stats off or turn down too low. If leaving the house and you wish to drop the temperature in the house it is recommended to adjust stats by a max of 2 degrees below the standard set point.

During summer if heat is not wanted and you wish to maximize solar gains, turn down room stats to 16 degrees. If radiators are installed, you can adjust temperature in each room via thermostatic radiator Valves.

Weather Compensation

The Heat Pump has built in weather compensation meaning the outdoor temperature dictates the Flow temperature to the radiators. The colder the outdoor temperature the warmer the rads will get and vice versa. This function is automatic and is designed to increase efficiency and reduce running costs.

Controller

Hot Water Control

On the right-hand side of the controller's home screen, you should see DHW – Set – 48deg – Standard. This means hot water function is turned on and the controller is monitoring cylinder temperature. The system is commissioned to maintain water temperature between 43 and 48 all the time. The hot water cylinder has priority over rest of the heating system. If the cylinder temperature drops 5 degrees below the set point, the unit will automatically switch on to heat the hot water cylinder. Once set point temperature is achieved the unit switch back to heating the house if necessary.

If the hot water cylinder drops dramatically in temperature due to a bath or consecutive showers and you need hot water quickly then you have the option of using the Forced mode on the controller. Press the right arrow so that the DHW box is highlighted in blue. Then press the ok button. Now you can scroll down until Forced is highlighted and then press ok. This will run the heat pump and the immersion together to heat the hot water cylinder. You must make sure to turn off this Forced function when not required and return to Standard operation.

img-2.jpeg

The controller is programmed to perform a legionella disinfection of the cylinder every Tuesday morning at 3am. This program will force the heat pump and immersion to heat the cylinder to 60 degrees.

If going away on holidays you can press the Economic mode or turn off the hot water function to save energy in heating water. Make sure to change the controller back to Standard operation on your return.

Controller

General Advice

The heat pump comes with a Samsung controller which is usually mounted on the front of the cylinder. This controller is for commissioning and fault diagnosing of the system only and should not be used to control heating.

In normal operation the controller will show on the left-hand side of display Zone – Set – 0.0 – Heat and on the right hand side of the display DHW – Set – 48deg – Standard.

If there is a fault in the system, an error code will appear on the screen starting with the letter E for example E911. The power button light will start flashing. A service engineer will want to know this Error number to help diagnose the issue.

Avoid turning the heat pump and controller off at the power supply especially in cold weather. If the unit is off in cold weather, it cannot protect itself from freezing and warranty will be at risk.

If the unit is in standby mode and the outdoor temperature is cold, the primary circulating pump will come for a couple minutes to prevent freezing. In extreme cold weather the circulating pump will run continuously to prevent freezing.
