Notes/Comments:

The indoor hydrobox must be serviced once a year by a qualified individual.
Servicing and maintenance of the outdoor unit should only be done by a Mitsubi- shi Electric trained technician with relevant qualifications and experience. Any electrical work should be done by a tradesperson with the appropriate electrical
qualifications. Any maintenance or ‘DIY’ fixes done by a non-accredited person could invalidate the Warranty and/or result in damage to the hydrobox and injury to the person.
basic Troubleshooting for Hydrobox
Fault symptom Possible cause Solution
Water discharges from pressure relief valve
If continual – pressure relief valve seat may be damaged. Remove cartridge – check seat and renew if necessary.
If intermittent – expansion vessel charge may have reduced/blad- der perished.
Check pressure in expansion vessel. Recharge to bar if neces- sary. If bladder perished replace vessel.
System was excessively pressurised at fill stage. Ensure the fill connection has been physically DISCONNECTED from the mains water supply. With hydrobox cold check pressure in hydrobox. If necessary, discharge/re-fill system to the recom- mended cold-fill pressure of 1 bar.
Unit has overheated – thermal controls have failed. Switch off power to the heat pump. Leave water supply on. Wait until discharge stops. Isolate water supply and replace if faulty.
Noisy pump Air in pump Use manual and automatic air vents to release excess air from
system. Top up water if necessary to achieve bar on primary cir- cuit.
Pump runs for a short time for no reason.
Pump jam prevention mechanism to inhibit the build up of scale. Normal operation no action necessary.
Heating system does not get up to set temperature.
Prohibit, schedule timer or holiday mode selected. Check settings and change as appropriate.
Incorrectly sized radiators Contact installer
The room in which the temperature sensor is located is at a differ- ent temperature to the rest of the house.
Reposition the temperature sensor to a more suitable room.
Battery problem *wireless control only Check the battery power and replace if flat.
Mechanical noise heard coming from the hydrobox.
Heaters switching on/off Normal operation no action required.
Heating mode has been on standby for a long time (does not start operation smoothly.)
Duration is set to excessively short time at “Economy setting for pump”. (Go to “Service menu” → “Auxiliary setting” → “Economy setting for pump”).
Set “Economy setting for pump” longer.
Annual Maintenance
It is essential that the hydrobox is serviced at least once a year by a qualified individual any spare parts required MUST be purchased from Mitsubishi Electric (safety matter).
NEVEr bypass safety devices or operate the unit without them being fully operational.
<draining the hydrobox>
WArNING: drAINEd WATEr MAy bE VEry HoT
. Before attempting to drain the hydrobox islolate from the electrical supply to prevent booster heater burning out.
2. Isolate hydrobox from primary water circuit and drain water from hydrobox. Use a suitable heat resistant hose to assist in these operations.
3. Drain any remaining water from booster heater using fitted drain cock and hose to safely drain the unit.
4. After the hydrobox is drained, water remains in the following component parts. Drain water completely by checking the inside of the parts.
• Strainer (Remove the strainer cover.)
• Pressure relief valve (Operate the valve.)
<Annual maintenance points>
Use the Annual Maintenance Log Book as a guide to carrying out the necessary checks on the hydrobox and outdoor unit.
