1 General information
The SmartHeat heat pump controller is used in SmartHeat heat pumps. While the user menu system is limited
strictly to important functions, adapting the controller and its properties to the many optional use cases and
usage conditions requires thorough examination of this manual. The successful operation of a heat pump
system is substantially dependent on setting the right controller and system parameters.
The control system is designed to supply power for four Generators. The sources could be either heat pumps,
heating boilers or electric heaters. For special tariff shut-off, the separate switch-on and switch-off condi-
tions must be noted.
The system consists of the following functional units (partly optional equipment):
Water heating
Heating
Cooling
Mixer control unit
screed heating programme
Solar system control
Seasonal Performance Factor (optional)
Service:
- Logging of operating hours for all Generators
- Access rights provided by different password levels
- Fault input analysis
- Energy-saving function
- Flow monitoring on the source and sink side
- Reference room temperature control
- Expansion valve control

List
3 Safety instructions
All installation and wiring tasks on the controller may only be carried out when it is in a de-
energised state. An external disconnection device must be provided.
Connection and commissioning of the SmartHeat controller may only be undertaken by spe-
cialist personnel, adhering to the applicable safety regulations, primarily VDE 0100.
Before carrying out installation or wiring work on the electrical equipment, always fully discon-
nect the device from the operating voltage.
Make sure you never confuse the SELV (safety extra low voltage) connectors (sensor, flow sen-
sor) with the 230V connectors. The destruction of the device and life-threatening voltages are
possible, on the device and on connected sensors and devices.
Heat pump systems can reach high temperatures. There is a risk of burns!
Install the controller in such a way that, for example, heat sources do not cause an impermis-
sible operating temperature (below 0°C and above 50°C) or excessive humidity (80% non-
condensing).
The system should not be put into operation if any damage can be discerned to the controller,
cables or to the connected pumps and valves.
Check that the materials used for the piping, insulation and the pumps and valves are suitable
for the temperatures which occur in the system.
Avoid water getting on any and all electrical and electronic components.

6 Heating curves
The default heating or cooling curve adapts the setpoint according to the outdoor temperature, in order to
counteract unnecessary heat and energy loss. The characteristic values for adapting the curves are located
under the Programme menu in the respective Heating or Cooling areas. Together, the fixed points form a
linear function, a maximum and minimum limit. The linear function is defined by points X1 and the associat-
ed Y1, and X2 and the associated Y2. X1 and X2 serve as outdoor temperature values. Y1 and Y2 refer to the
corresponding setpoints. Before and after the values of X1 and X2, the calculated values assume the set val-
ues of Y1 and Y2. This means outside of the range of Y1 and Y2 no further adaptation to the outdoor tem-
perature occurs.
The setpoint and the reduction value should not be taken as the actual room temperature. Rather the should
be set on a room thermostat. The setpoint rather serves to set the system temperatures. As a point of refer-
ence, for a setpoint of 20°C a system temperature of 40°C is stored. The serves in turn as a switch-on and
switch-off criterion for the heat pump.
The calculation for cooling works in an equivalent manner to the diagram shown for the heating curve.
Modifications can only be made to the heating and cooling curve with Maintenance access rights and above.

Faults which are detected by the heat pump controller itself and can therefore be reported
The LED behind the button indicates that there is a safety shutdown because of differences,
defects or incorrect settings in the system or in the heat pump.
From this we can generally assume that the heat pump and its source system upstream, as well as the down-
stream heating surface system and all its elements are working properly. Their function is monitored by the
heat pump controller depending on the connected sensor. However, it is never possible to completely rule out
irregularities, such as a cable break on a sensor site or air in a fluid circuit, etc.
Permanent or repeated deviations from the standard operation of the system, including on the source and
heating system as well as the heat pump, are indicated on the display of the controller. If a high-priority fault
occurs, the system switches to an emergency function and attempts to carry out its heating role with the ad-
ditional heating (generally an integrated electric heating element). If the fault is such that even this emergen-
cy operation is not possible, the system switches off. This would be the case, for instance, if the heating
pump is faulty and the heat cannot be discharged. Faults which can be traced back to permanent errors in the
system must be rectified with the help of the installer.
If there is a safety shutdown with a high priority, then this may be reset only once.
If the same safety shutdown occurs again, is necessarily a specialized company to
consult.
Please note that the frequent resetting and the failure to correct the underlying
cause can result in damage or even total loss by itself.

8 Electrical connection
Please observe the safety instructions in Chapter 3!
The device may only be opened when the mains voltage has been shut off and secure against
reconnect!
On all connection lines, strip the cable jacket to a length of approx. 6-8 cm and the ends of
the wires to a length of approx. 10 mm.
In the case of flexible lines, a strain relief must be provided, either inside or outside of the
device. The wire ends should be provided with ferrules.
All protective conductors must be secured to the terminals labelled "PE" (Protective Earth).
There are max. twelve 230V/50Hz outputs (NO1, NO2, NO3,…, NO12). The exception is output NO7/NC7.
This is used primarily as a potential-free fault message contact. Note the following points regarding the 230V
connections:
It must be possible to disconnect the mains supply for the controller outside of the heat pump
with a main switch.
The controllers are intended for operation on a 230V /50Hz grid. The pumps and valves which are
connected must be designed for this voltage!
Outputs may not be supplied with power from an external source, as this could cause damage to
the board.
The controllers operate exclusively with temperature sensors of type NTC, NTC HT or ratiometric 0-5 V. The
following inputs and outputs are available:
10 temperature inputs
2 pressure transducer inputs
4 analogue outputs
>> 48
www.SmartHeat.de
>> Operating instructions Control for heat pumps Technical changes reserved. V.4.2.13
The lines of the temperature sensors can be extended. Up to 15m in length, a cross-section of 2 x 0.5mm² is
necessary, and up to 50m of 2 x 0.75 mm². In the case of long connections (e.g. collector) shielded extension
cables must be used. On the sensor side, do not connect the shield if there is no shielding present, but rather
trim and insulate!
The temperature sensors are connected in accordance with the system diagram. When it comes to tempera-
ture sensors, there is no need to observe the polarity of the two wires.
Sensor lines must be routed separately from 230V and 400V lines, because
under unfavourable circumstances not doing so could result in interference.
The distance between the two lines must be at least 15cm.
All electrical lines are connected to a module in the connection unit or the transfer terminals provided for the
purpose.

50% A target flow temperature is calculated by the controller. The Generator(s) run until the RRT is reached. Then the
switch-off temperature is calculated from the flow temperature achieved at this point.
When the room temperature is reached in the reference room, another reheating cycle occurs.
The only limit is TSPmax.
Outdoor temperature control and room temperature control are combined
100% Heating control occurs via a reference room temperature sensor. If the temperature drops below the reference
value the Generator(s) is/are switched on, and then off again if it is exceeded.
When the target room temperature is reached in the reference room, the Generators are switched off.
Room temperature-based control
Request occurs when TRoom < TRoomTarget
Switch-off occurs when TRoom > TRoomTarget
Only the min. and max/ flow temperature of Generator E1 is monitored.

The mixer is activated when TFlow mixer < (Setpoint heating value)
The mixer is activated when TFlow mixer > (Setpoint cooling value)
Via the analogue output a mixer is activated according to a 0V – 10V signal. If the deviation is more than 7K,
the adaptation occurs in 1V increments. If the deviation from the setpoint is less than this, the adaptation
occurs in 0.5V increments.

The energy sources are switched on in the sequence 1 – 4 as required. During this process, the switch-on
conditions of the Generator are first checked (temperatures, faults, etc.). If demand has not been satisfied
after the defined delay time, the respective following energy source is switched on. For each Generator, a
minimum runtime and reactivation block are monitored.
All four Generators are also switched off for tariff shut-offs. If external energy sources are to be activated by

The defrost function is controlled by the pressure and outdoor temperature. Depending on the outdoor tem-
perature, the defrost cycle can be activated and completed according to the settings, using a low pressure
value and/or a temperature difference between the suction gas temperature and the outdoor temperature.
The defrost phase only ends once the high pressure setpoint is reached or the max. defrost period is exceed-
ed.
The set low pressure value or temperature difference specifies the
operating point from which defrosting should start. The operating
point must be present at least for the set control time, in order to
fulfil the defrost condition.

Values transfer:
If a combination of machines with the same software version exists, it is possible to transfer the
sensor inputs. The sensor values are only transferred from the master (pLAN address1) to the oth-
er controllers. It is not possible to transfer "slave" machines (pLAN address> 1) to the master.
If the pLAN connection is disconnected, the controller's own input is automatically evaluated.
You can integrate the heatpump controller in a Building
Managment System (BMS) and because of this; you need may-
be a Modbus connection monitoring.
That the monitoring function works, you need to activate it in
mask “DAL”.After this, the BMS must set all 5-6secound a
modbus check variable to value true. (see supervisor list). The
value will automatically reset to false to check the Modbus
connection. Will the Modbus check variable set not set back
to “true” then it will occurred a alarm message auf a Alarm

The Extensionboard allow to use a lot of additional function. To use this you must connect both
controllers with the pLAN connection.
It is possible to integrate a leakage sensor over the extensionboard. The leakage sensor will meas-

The leakage sensor must activate in mask “DQ2A”. In the following masks you can set the first
warning value and the alarm value. The default setting for warning value is 1500ppm. If this value
is exceed it will occurred a warning message and an entry in a history mask. If the alarm value is
exceeded then it will occurred a alarm message, an entry in history mask and a activation of the
external suction pump. The pump will activated till the low- and high pressure is under 0,0Bar.For
a premature deactivation of the suction pump you can open the digital input 1 (ID1). The actual
measure leakage sensor value you can read in mask “DAW”. The pLAN connection must always be
active; otherwise it occur an error message.
