This document provides essential electrical and hydraulic installation instructions for the Dimplex LIA 1316HXCF air-to-water heat pump. It is intended for professional installers to ensure correct system integration between the heat pump unit, the Hydrobox, and the electrical distribution system.
Electrical layout
The electrical installation requires connecting the heat pump (+A100) to the Hydrobox (+A200) and the electrical distribution system (+A300). Key components include:
- FBUS 1 (J9): Communication bus connection between the heat pump and the Hydrobox using J-Y(ST)Y 4x0.28mm² cable.
- Power Supply: Ensure correct fusing for the Hydrobox, heat pump manager, and the heat pump itself (-X1).
- Safety: Proper grounding (PE) and neutral (N) connections are critical for all components.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic diagram outlines the flow and component placement for the system. Ensure all valves, sensors, and pumps are installed according to the schematic to maintain proper circulation and heat exchange efficiency.

Plug-in connections
The system supports various functions via terminal connections on the Hydrobox (+A200-N1). Wiring depends on the specific configuration:

- General (+A400): Standard operation settings.
- Domestic Hot Water (+A420): Requires connection of the domestic hot water sensor (-R3) and the reversing valve (-YM18).
- Cooling (+A150): Requires connection of the dew point monitor (-N5) and the heating/cooling change-over switch (-K28).
- Sensors & Inputs: Includes connections for the external wall sensor (-WR1), Smart-Grid inputs, and EVU-Sperre (utility block contactor).

Common problems
Verify the wiring connection of the -H5 remote fault indicator to the terminal block.
Check the wiring of the -R3 domestic hot water sensor and the -YM18 reversing valve.
Ensure the dew point monitor (-N5) and the heating/cooling change-over switch (-K28) are correctly wired.
Before use
- Verify that the electrical distribution (+A300) is correctly fused.
- Confirm all sensor connections (external wall sensor, hot water sensor) are secure.
- Check that the communication bus (FBUS 1) between the heat pump and Hydrobox is connected.
- Verify the wiring of Smart-Grid and EVU-Sperre inputs if required by the installation.
- Ensure the hydraulic circuit is properly installed and leak-free.
