1.3.5 Benchmark

Vaillant is a licensed member of the Bench-


mark Scheme which aims to improve the
standards of installation and commissioning
of domestic heating and hot water systems in
the UK and to encourage regular servicing to
optimise safety, efficiency and performance.
Benchmark is managed and promoted
by the Heating and Hotwater Industry
Council. For more information visit
www.benchmark.org.uk.
▶ Please ensure that the installer has fully
completed the Benchmark Checklist on
the inside back pages of the installation in-
structions supplied with the product and
that you have signed it to say that you
have received a full and clear explana-
tion of its operation. The installer is leg-
ally required to complete a commissioning
checklist as a means of complying with the
appropriate Building Regulations (England
and Wales).
All installations must be notified to Local Area
Building Control either directly or through
a Competent Persons Scheme. A Building
Regulations Compliance Certificate will then
be issued to the customer who should, on
receipt, write the Notification Number on the
Benchmark Checklist.
This product should be serviced regularly to
optimise its safety, efficiency and perform-
ance. The service engineer should complete
the relevant Service Record on the Bench-
mark Checklist after each service.
The Benchmark Checklist will be required in
the event of any warranty.

Safety 1
1.3.4 Risk of material damage due to
malfunctioning
Not rectifying faults, changing the safety
devices and failing to carry out maintenance
can cause malfunctioning and pose safety
risks during operation.
▶ Ensure that the heating installation is in a
technically perfect condition.
▶ Ensure that no safety or monitoring
devices have been removed, bridged or
disabled.
▶ Immediately eliminate any faults and dam-
age that may affect safety.

1.3.5 Danger due to error functions


▶ Ensure that the heating system is in a
technically perfect condition.
▶ Ensure that no safety or monitoring
devices have been removed, bridged or
disabled.
▶ Immediately rectify any faults and damage
that may affect safety.
▶ At lengths of over 10 m, 230 V supply lines
must be laid separately from sensor or bus
lines.
▶ Secure all supply lines in the casing using
the cable terminals.
▶ Do not use the unit's free terminals as sup-
ports for other wiring.

1.3.6 Risk of material damage caused by


using an unsuitable tool
▶ Use the correct tool.

1.4 Regulations (directives, laws,


standards)
▶ Observe the national regulations, stand-
ards, directives, ordinances and laws.

3.6 Energy balance control


B
The energy balance is the integral from the difference
between the flow temperature actual value and target value, A
which is added up every minute. If the set heat deficit is
reached, the heat pump starts. If the supplied heat volume
corresponds to the heat deficit, the heat pump is switched
off.
The energy balancing is used for heating and cooling mode.

When the compressor hysteresis is above the target flow
temperature, the heat pump is switched off. When the hys-
teresis is below the target flow temperature, the heat pump
starts up again.
