VACATION MODE
In Vacation Mode, to conserve energy, the heat pump and electric heating unit will not operate under normal
conditions. The heat pump and electric heating unit will only operate under very cold conditions if the tank
water temperature approaches freezing conditions.
The Vacation Mode period is based on full days, i.e. the start time or finish time is at midnight on the morning
of the start date or finish date of the Vacation period.
The Vacation Mode has two separate methods of use. Only one method can be used at one time.
Method 1
– Set a start date for the Vacation pe
r
iod.
This method allows the start date to be set in advance of the planned start of the Vacation period. This date,
i.e. the expected departure date, is the day the heat pump will automatically turn “Off” at the Display Panel.
The heat pump must be manually turned back “On” at the Display Panel upon the return from Vacation.
Refer to
“Method 1 – Setting the start date of the Vacation period”
on page 25 for the procedure to set the start
date of Vacation Mode.
Before the Vacation start date is reached, Vacation Mode is on and the heat pump
is “On” at the Display Panel,
the Timer
’OFF’ icon is illuminated and the scheduled Vacation Mode start date is displayed in the Time / Date
Display Area.
When the Vacation Mode start date is reached, the heat pump turns “Off” at the Display Panel. The “Standard
Heating” key illuminates red, the “Vacation” key illuminates blue. The Vacation display icon, Timer ’OFF’ icon
and the Vacation Mode start date go out. The time is displayed in the Time / Date Display Area.
Method 2
– Set a finish date for the Vacation period.
This method allows a finish date to be set for the Vacation period. This date, i.e. the expected return date, is
the day the heat pump will automatically
turn back “On” at the Display Panel and recommence heating of the
water. The heat pump m
ust be manually turned “Off” at the Display Panel prior to leaving for Vacation. This
can be achieved when the Vacation finish date is set.
Refer to
“Method 2 – Setting the finish date of the Vacation period”
on page 26 for the procedure to set the
finish date of Vacation Mode.
Before the Vacation finish date is reached,
Vacation Mode is on and the heat pump is “Off” at the Display
Panel, the Timer
’ON’ icon is illuminated and the scheduled Vacation Mode finish date is displayed in the
Time / Date Display Area.
When the Vacation Mode finish date is reached, the heat pump
turns “On” at the Display Panel. The “Standard
Heating” key illuminates red and the “Vacation” key illuminates blue. The Vacation display icon, Timer ’ON’
icon and the Vacation Mode finish date go out. The time is displayed in the Time / Date Display Area.
