3. Appliance description

3.1 Properties

The appliance is an air source heat pump designed for

use as a heating heat pump. The appliance extracts heat

from the outdoor air at a low temperature level and trans-

fers it to the heating water at a higher temperature level.

The heating water can be heated up to a ﬂow temperature of 60 °C.

The appliance is equipped with an electric emergency/booster

heater (DHC). If the dual mode point is undershot in mono mode

operation, the electric emergency/booster heater is activated to

safeguard heating operation and the provision of high DHW tem-

peratures. In such a case in mono energetic operation, the electric

emergency/booster heater is activated as a booster heater.

This appliance has further operational characteristics:

- Suitable for underﬂoor and radiator heating.

- Preferred for low temperature heating systems.

- Extracts heat from the outdoor air even at outside tempera-

tures of -20 °C.

- Corrosion-protected, external casing made from hot-dipped

galvanised sheet steel plus stove-enamelled ﬁnish.

- Comprises all components and safety equipment required for

operation.

- Filled with non-combustible safety refrigerant.

Note

For centralised control of the heating system, you would

need the WPM heat pump manager.

OPERATION

Settings

www.stiebel-eltron.com WPL 10 | 5

3.2 Function

Heat is extracted from the outdoor air via the heat exchanger

(evaporator) on the air side. The refrigerant evaporates and is

compressed by a compressor. This process requires electrical

energy.

The refrigerant is then at a higher temperature level and transfers

the heat drawn from the air to the heating system via an additional

heat exchanger (condenser). During this process, the refrigerant

expands and the cycle begins again.

At air temperatures below approx. 7°C, the humidity in the air

condenses as hoarfrost on the evaporator ﬁns. Any hoarfrost is au-

tomatically defrosted. Water created from this defrosting process

collects in the defrost pan and is drained off via a hose.

In the defrost cycle, the fan is switched OFF and the heat pump

circuit is reversed. The heat required for defrosting is drawn from

the buffer cylinder or heating circuit. The heat pump automatically

reverts to heating mode at the end of the defrost cycle.

Special features of the WPL10IK3

The WPL10IK3 is equipped as standard with the WPM heat pump

manager. It is also equipped with a heating circuit pump, an expansion

vessel and a three-way valve for changeover between the heating circuit

and DHW heating. The standard delivery also includes the air hoses and

their ﬁxing materials.

4. Settings

The system is operated exclusively with the WPM heat pump man-

ager.

 Please observe the heat pump manager operating and instal-

lation instructions.

5. Maintenance and care

Damage to the appliance and environment pollution

Maintenance work, such as checking the electrical safety,

must only be carried out by a qualiﬁed contractor.

 Protect the appliance from dust and dirt ingress dur-

ing building work.

A damp cloth is sufﬁcient for cleaning all plastic and sheet metal

parts. Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents.

 Every month, check that the condensate drain is working

correctly (visual inspection). When doing so, check whether

water is collecting below or next to the appliance. Observe

the "Troubleshooting" chapter.

We recommend an annual inspection (to establish the current

condition of the system), and service by a contractor if required

(to return the system into its original condition).

6. Troubleshooting

Fault Cause

 Remedy

There is no hot

water or the

heating system

stays cold.

No power at the appli-

ance.

Check the fuses/ MCBs in your

fuse box/distribution panel.

If required, reset the MCBs. If

the MCBs trip again after being

reset, notify your contractor.

Water is leaking

from the appli-

ance.

The condensate drain

may be blocked.

Call your contractor to have the

condensate drain cleaned out.

Condensate is

collecting on the

outside of the

appliance or the

air hoses.

The drying out phase of

the building is not yet

complete.

If the room is sufficiently well

ventilated and dehumidified,

this condensate should no

longer form on the appliance ap-

prox.two years after the house

was built.

The relative humidity in

the air is high (≥60%).

A change in weather conditions

should no longer cause conden-

sation to form on the appliance.

The appliance is sited

in a damp room. Damp

rooms are those where

humidity in the air is high

due to the drying of laun-

dry, for example.

Ensure that the room is ade-

quately ventilated and dehumid-

ified. If necessary, hang your

laundry in a different room.

Use a vented tumble dryer.

Please note that condenser

tumble dryers do not reduce the

humidity in the air.

The air hoses are incor-

rectly fitted or poorly

sealed.

Cold air escapes.

Check whether the air hoses

are correctly fitted and sealed.

If necessary, refer to your con-

tractor.

If you cannot remedy the fault, notify your contractor. To facilitate

and speed up your enquiry, please provide the serial number from

the type plate. The type plate is located at the front top, on the

right or left hand side of the casing.

10. Installation

10.1 Transport

 Pay attention to the appliance's centre of gravity when trans-

porting the appliance.

- The centre of gravity is in the area where the compressor is

located.

- With the WPL10IK3, ensure that the control fascia is at the

top during transport.

- Lifting slings for handling the standard appliance can be

hooked in anywhere on the bottom of the frame.

 Protect the appliance against heavy impact during transport.

- If the appliance needs to be tilted during transport only do so

for a short time on one of its longitudinal sides.

- The longer the appliance is tilted, the greater the distribution

of refrigerant oil in the system.

 Wait approximately 30minutes before starting the appliance

after it has been tilted.

10.2 Siting

 Remove the packaging ﬁlm and the top and side EPS

padding.

D0000051813

1 Appliance foot

2 Sliding block

 Undo the four ﬁxing screws underneath the pallet.

 Remove the appliance feet from the pack. Fully turn the feet

onto the appliance, without removing the appliance from the

pallet.

 Take the appliance off the pallet and set it down on the pre-

pared base. If required, use the sliding blocks provided to

help you position the appliance.

 Observe minimum distances (see the "Preparations / Mini-

mum clearances" chapter).

 Level the appliance horizontally by adjusting the feet.

10.3 Heating water connection

The heating system to which the heat pump is connected must be

installed by a qualiﬁed contractor in accordance with the water

installation diagrams that are part of the technical guides.

In dual mode operation, return water from the second heat gen-

erator may ﬂow through the heat pump. The return water tem-

perature must not exceed 60°C.

 Thoroughly ﬂush the pipework before connecting the heat

pump. Foreign bodies, such as rust, sand and sealant, can

impair the operational reliability of the heat pump. We rec-

ommend installing our ﬁlter assembly in the heating return

(see chapter "Accessories").

 On the WPL10I, connect one ﬂexible pressure hose each to

the heating ﬂow and heating return connections to act as

an anti-vibration mount. The pressure hoses are part of the

standard delivery. Anti-vibration mounts are already ﬁtted to

the WPL10IK3.

 Ensure the correct connection of the heating ﬂow and return.

 Check for tightness.

 When sizing the heating circuit, observe the maximum avail-

able external pressure differential (see the "Speciﬁcation /

Data table" chapter).

 Provide thermal insulation in accordance with applicable

regulations.

INSTALLATION

Installation

10.4 Oxygen diffusion

Material losses

Avoid using open vented heating systems or steel pipe-

work in conjunction with underﬂoor heating systems with

plastic pipes that are permeable to oxygen.

In open vented heating systems or in underﬂoor heating systems

with permeable plastic pipes, oxygen diffusion can cause corro-

sion on steel components such as internal cylinders, steel heating

elements or steel pipes.

The products of corrosion, e.g. rusty sludge, can settle inside the

heat pump condenser and reduce its cross-section, resulting in a

lower output or in the high pressure switch triggering a shutdown.

10.5 Filling the heating system

Heating water quality

Carry out a ﬁll water analysis before the system is ﬁlled. This may,

for example, be requested by the relevant water supply utility.

Material losses

To avoid damage as a result of scaling, it may be neces-

sary to soften or desalinate the ﬁll water. Always observe

the ﬁll water limits speciﬁed in the "Speciﬁcation / Data

table" chapter.

 Recheck these limits 8 - 12 weeks after commission-

ing and as part of the annual system service.

Note

With a conductivity >1000μS/cm, desalination treatment

is recommended in order to avoid corrosion.

Note

Suitable appliances for water softening and desalinating,

as well as for charging and ﬂushing heating systems, can

be obtained from trade suppliers.

Note

If you treat the ﬁll water with inhibitors or additives, the

same limits as for desalination apply.

10.6 Venting the heating system

Vent the heating system thoroughly.

10.7 Safety temperature controller for underﬂoor

heating system

Material losses

In order to prevent excessively high ﬂow temperatures in

the underﬂoor heating system in the event of a fault, we

always recommend using a safety temperature controller

to limit the system temperature.

10.8 Buffer cylinders

10.8.1 Installation with buffer cylinder

A buffer cylinder is recommended to ensure a trouble-free heat

pump operation. The buffer cylinder (cylinder SBP) is not only

installed as an hydraulic separator for volume ﬂow in the heat

pump and heating circuits, but primarily as energy source for

defrosting the evaporator.

If a buffer cylinder is used, remove the jumper across terminals

X4/5 (pump) and X4/8 (HCP) when commissioning the WPL...IK.

Remove return sensor B2 connected to terminals X2/2(B2) and

X2/3(B2) from the sleeve in the heat pump return and insert it

into the buffer cylinder sensor well.

10.8.2 Installation without buffer cylinder

INSTALLATION

Installation

10.9 Flow rate, heating side

10.9.1 Minimum ﬂow rate for operation without a buffer

cylinder

The appliance is designed in such a way that no buffer cylinder

is required to provide hydraulic separation of the ﬂow in the heat

pump and heating circuits in conjunction with area heating sys-

tems [underﬂoor heating systems, for example].

In an installation with several heating circuits, we recommend

using a low loss header.

The minimum ﬂow rate is set via the temperature differential of

the heating system.

Set the heating circuit pump so that the value is equal to or lower

than the maximum temperature differential.

The setting is made in heat pump operation alone. For this, the

following settings must be made ﬁrst:

 Temporarily remove the fuse from the electric emergency/

booster heater to isolate it from the power supply. Alterna-

tively, switch OFF the second heat generator.

 Operate the heat pump in heating mode.

84_03_01_0156_

X Outside temperature [°C]

Y Maximum temperature differential [K]

In such cases, one or more heating circuits in the heating sys-

tem must remain open. The open heating circuit(s) should be

installed in the lead room (room in which the remote control is

installed, e.g. the living room). Single room control can then be

implemented with the remote control or indirectly by adapting

the heating curve.

 Fully open the heating circuit(s) in the lead room.

 Close all other heating circuits.

 If an overﬂow valve is installed in the heating system, close

this fully before determining the minimum ﬂow rate.

 Make the settings at the circulation pump when the temper-

ature differential between the ﬂow and return temperature

has stabilised.

Set the heating circuit pump so that the minimum ﬂow rate re-

quired to operate the system is safeguarded.

Note

Never adjust the ﬂow rate of the cylinder circuit pump.

The ﬂow rate of the cylinder circuit pump has been op-

timised at the factory.

 Compare the resulting temperature differential between the

ﬂow and return at the appliance with the diagram "Maximum

temperature differential on the heating side with overﬂow

valve or single room control with remote control".

 Set the heating circuit pump so that the maximum tempera-

ture differential is achieved or undershot.

10.9.2 Flow rate with low loss header or buffer cylinder

The ﬂow rate can be adjusted using the temperature differential

of the buffer circuit. In this case, the minimum ﬂow rate must not

be undershot.

 Compare the resulting temperature differential between the

ﬂow and return at the appliance with the diagram "Maximum

header or buffer cylinder".

 Set the delivery head of the heating circuit pump to a level

that safeguards the heating ﬂow rate required to operate the

heat pump (see the "Speciﬁcation / Data table" chapter).

 If the appliance will be used for DHW heating, check the set-

ting of the delivery head in DHW mode.

 If necessary, adjust the delivery head to match the heating

circuit pump.

10.9.3 Using highly energy efﬁcient pumps [HE]

If you use a HE pump as the heating circuit pump, you will have to

adjust the minimum ﬂow rate using the temperature differential

of the heating system.

 Set the heating circuit pump to ∆p-constant.

 Set ∆p-constant to the value at which the maximum temper-

ature differential of the heating system is reached.

10.10 Condensate drain

At the factory, a hose for draining condensate is fitted

to the defrost pan, which terminates near the knock-out

in the bottom plate to the right of the refrigeration unit.

You can route the condensate hose from the appliance through

openings in the ﬂoor plate and frame, to the right or to the front.

D0000052105

 Ensure the condensate drain hose is not kinked.

 Route the hose with a continuous fall.

 Use a suitable condensate pump if there is insufﬁcient fall.

Observe the building characteristics.

 If using a condensate pump, ensure that it delivers at least

6 l/min. Set the heat pump approximately 100 mm higher if

condensate pump PK10 is used for draining the condensate.

Heating curve adjustment

Adjust the heating curve carefully, as the heat pump efﬁciency will

be reduced with an increasing ﬂow temperature. Heating curves

which are set too high, lead to the zone and thermostatic valves

closing, which may lead to the minimum ﬂow rate required for

the heat pump not being achieved.

Procedure for setting the correct heating curve:

Fully open the thermostatic valve(s) or zone valve(s) in the lead

room, e.g. in the living room or bathroom (remove the head of

thermostatic valves) and set the heating curve at different outside

temperatures (e.g. – 10 °C and + 10 °C), so that the required tem-

perature is achieved in the lead room. The thermostatic valve(s)

or zone valve(s) in the lead room should always be fully open (we

recommend that the heating circuit of the lead room is installed

without thermostatic or zone valves and that individual room con-

trol is implemented using a remote control unit).

Standard values to begin with:

Parameter Underﬂoor

heating

system

Radiator heating system

Heating curve 0.4 0.8

Control response

time

5 15

Room temperature 20 °C 20 °C

Adjust the heating curve as follows:

Increase the room temperature parameter, if the room temper-

ature in spring and autumn is too low (approx. 10 °C outside

temperature). Providing no remote control is installed, this will

lead to a parallel offset of the heating curve. Increase the heating

curve parameter, if the room temperature is not high enough

when outside temperatures are low, then adjust the zone valve

or thermostatic valve to the required temperature.

Never reduce the temperature in the entire building by closing all

zone or thermostatic valves, but by using the setback programs.

10.11 Second heat generator

For dual mode systems, always connect the heat pump into the

return of the second heat generator (e.g. oil boiler).

10.12 Removing the casing parts

The side panels, the front and back panels are hooked into the

heat pump frame and are secured at the centre (bottom) of each

panel respectively with one quick-acting screw. After removing

the quick-acting screw, the casing panels can be pushed up and

removed.

On the WPL10IK3, only the lower casing panels can be removed.

Note

The following inspection instructions may only be carried

out by a qualiﬁed contractor.

If you cannot locate the fault using the heat pump manager, use

the controls on the IWS.

 Open the control panel.

 Read the following sections on troubleshooting and carry out

the instructions.

17.1 Controls on the IWS

The IWS helps you to troubleshoot if the fault cannot be identiﬁed

using the WPM.

1 LEDs

2 Reset button

Red LED (left)

Faults indicated by the LED:

- High pressure fault

- Low pressure fault

- Central fault

- Hardware fault on the IWS (see fault list, operating and in-

stallation instructions of the heat pump manager)

Fault Cause “ Remedy

The appliance stops and

restarts after the idle pe-

riod has expired. The red

LED flashes.

There is a heat pump

fault.

Check the fault message

on the WPM.

Find the solution in the

WPM instructions (fault

list). Reset the IWS.

Fault Cause “ Remedy

The appliance stops per-

manently. The red LED is

illuminated steadily.

Five faults have oc-

curred within two

hours of compressor

runtime.

Check the fault message

on the WPM. Find the

solution in the WPM in-

structions (fault list). Reset

the IWS.

Green LED (centre)

The LED ﬂashes during initialisation, and illuminates constantly

after the BUS address has been assigned successfully. Connection

to the WPM has been established.

Green LED (right)

No function.

17.1.1 Reset button

If the IWS was not initialised successfully, you can reset it with this

reset button. Observe the "Reinitialising IWS" chapter in the heat

pump manager operating and installation instructions.

17.2 Fan noise

The heat pump draws heat from the outdoor air. This causes the

outdoor air to cool down. At outside temperatures of 0°C to 8°C,

the air may be cooled to below freezing point. If under these

conditions precipitation occurs in the form of rain or fog, ice may

form on the air grille, the fan blades or the airways. If the fan

comes into contact with this ice, noise develops.

How to remedy rhythmic scratching or grinding noises:

 Check whether the condensate drain is clear of obstructions.

 Check whether the design output and temperature are set

correctly. Ice formation is particularly pronounced when

high heating output is called for at moderate outside

temperatures.

 Carry out a manual defrost, repeatedly if required, until the

fan runs free again.

 At outside temperatures above + 1°C, switch the appliance

off for around 1hour or switch it over to emergency mode.

After this, the ice should have melted.

 Check whether the appliance is installed in line with the in-

stallation conditions.

 If the noises occur frequently, notify customer support.

18. Maintenance

We recommend that you perform an annual inspection (to es-

tablish the current condition of the system), and carry out any

maintenance as required (to return the system into its original

condition).
