Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual Section 2: INTRODUCTION Quantum Energy Technologies 2a:One Of The Worlds Most Energy Efficient Methods Of Water Heating Production We thank you for your decision to purchase a Quantum Energy Technologies Heat Pump Water Heater, which will reward you with many years of low energy hot water production. QUANTUM ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Pty Ltd designs and manufactures energy efficient Heat Pump water heaters.
Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual 2c: Features Of Your Quantum Water Heater 1. Fully welded steel tank with class X vitreous enamel lining for superior corrosion resistance and longer life. 2. Indirect heat transfer eliminates tank hot spots. 3. One of the most energy efficient Heat Pump systems in the world. 4. Able to save more money, especially in cold weather, than any other solar system on the market.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 3a.2: Corrosion Protection Fittings and the Shell Surface in contact with the water are to be galvanically compatible. Sealants and / or Teflon plumbing tape should be used on potentially galvanically incompatible fittings. This is to protect against possible electrolytic corrosion between the metals (where moisture penetration could occur due to incorrectly or poorly sealed fittings).
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 3f: Cold Water Connection An approved isolating valve, approved non-return valve, line strainer (optional but recommended), and union must be fitted between the supply main and the RP ¾ / 20mm socket in the water heater. All fittings must be approved by the relevant Authority (refer to Figures 1 & 2). 3g: Pressure Reducing Valve This water heater is designed for direct connection to a maximum water supply pressure of 500 kPa.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 3m: Electrical Connection Quantum water heaters are designed for single-phase 220/240V A.C supply only. A certified electrician must carry out all electrical work according to the local supply authority regulations and AS3000. A 15-amp circuit breaker must be installed at the power supply for the hot water unit. A separate circuit breaker is recommended for each unit in the case of multiple installations.

Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies Section 4: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4a: Filling The Water Heater Open all hot water taps. Open isolating valve at the cold-water inlet and allow the water heater to fill until water flows through the system. Close each hot water tap after the air is expelled from its line. 4b: Water Quality Your Quantum water heater has been manufactured to suit the water conditions of most Australian metropolitan supplies.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 5b: Important Note Regarding PTR Valve The Pressure & Temperature relief valve should be checked for adequate performance or replaced at intervals not exceeding 5 years, or less in areas where there is a high incidence of water deposits. Providing there is some discharge from the relief valve during each heating cycle there is no requirement to manually activate the release mechanism on the relief valve.
Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual 6d: Service Caution – Before Any Work Is Carried Out Before any electrical components are inspected the System MUST be turned off at the power switch / hot water circuit breaker. Do not touch wiring or any electrical components without supervision or training to Australian (or equivalent) standards. 6e: Thermal Overload (Incorporated in Digital Controller) All models are fitted with a digital controller for heat pump management.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 6f.2: Five Year Service (By Authorized Personnel Only) The five-year service should be carried out by a licensed tradesperson every five years. It is recommended that your local Quantum distributor carry out this service. The service should include the following: 1. Replace the Pressure & Temperature Relief valve. 2. Replace the anode. 3. Flush the water heater. 4. Checking of the refrigeration system. 5.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 6f.4: Flushing Of Water Tank As with other hot water heater tanks, dissolved solids in the water or scale may accumulate in the bottom of the water tank forming sludge. This is generally less of a problem with Quantum units as no internal elements or burners are used. If such sludge build-up does occur the following procedure can be followed to clean out the tank. 1. Turn Off power to the unit. 2. Turn Off water supply to the unit. 3.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies Section 7: RECOGNITION OF ABNORMAL OPERATION 7a: Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve Running It is not unusual for the Pressure & Temperature Relief valve to allow a small quantity of water to escape during the heating cycle. The amount of discharge will depend on hot water usage. As a guide, if it discharges more than 20 litres of water in 24 hours then there may be a problem. 7a.1: Continuous Trickle Likely build up of foreign matter.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 4. Replace faulty tap washers and have your plumber rectify any leaking pipe work. 5. Have any new appliances been installed that might be using the extra power? 6. If there are no water leakages around the building and no excessive usage of hot water, yet electricity bills are higher than normal (without any other appliance being responsible) then it may indicate a problem with the water heater. Contact your nearest Quantum distributor or service agent.
Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual Section 8: WARRANTY CERTIFICATE QUANTUM HOT WATER UNIT MANUFACTURED BY QUANTUM ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD Terms Of Warranty QUANTUM ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD (the Company) WARRANTS “THIS QUANTUM ENERGY SYSTEM” (the unit) against faulty workmanship, materials and defects in manufacturing as here in after provided: 1.

When the compressor has been operating for 45 min (1st Level F45) and the evaporator temperature is below -5℃ (2nd Level C-5), de-icing is activated and the indicator will be on. When the evaporator temperature rises to 8℃ (2nd Level F08) or the de-icing time has been more than 10 min (1st Level E10), de-icing is de activated.

Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual Appendix A: TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE ON QUANTUM WATER HEATERS Models covered in this guide: 800 Watt. Compact Air Sourced Domestic Hot Water Heater (0.8kW compressor models) 1100 Watt. Compact Air Sourced Domestic Hot Water Heater (1.1kW compressor models) 1700 Watt. Titan Split Air Sourced Domestic Hot Water Heater (1.7kW compressor model) A.1: No Hot Water; Compressor Not Running Probable Cause Test / Observation Action 1.
Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual A.2: Thermal Cut Out Trips Off Repeatedly Probable Cause 1. Low refrigerant charge. 2. High refrigerant charge. 3. Incorrect voltage and frequency. 4. Compressor runs hot: Internal leakage. Test / Observation Check refrigerant charge. Test for possible leak in the refrigeration circuit. Action Top up refrigerant or re-charge. Repair leak, or if not repairable, contact QUANTUM service. Check refrigerant charge.
Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual A. 3: No Hot Water; Compressor Running Probable Cause 1. Test / Observation 2. Tank water drawn off - unit only Wait until water is heated. recently started. Low or no refrigerant. Check for shortage of refrigerant or leakage in the system. 3. Compressor is not pumping. a. b. 4. a. Frozen evaporator. b. c. Check for internal valve leak. When shut off, gas will go back through the compressor making noise and vibration.
Quantum Energy Technologies Owner’s Manual A.5: Testing Undercharge Or Overcharge Of Refrigerant Unlike normal refrigerating or air conditioning systems, the QUANTUM heat pump operates under a very wide range of evaporating and condensing temperatures. To identify undercharge or overcharge of refrigerant gas in the system, three parameters need to be checked. 1. Current Draw 2. System Pressures 3. Bubbles through sight glass on the receiver / filter-dryer A.
Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies A.8: Signs Of Correct Charge During normal operation with the correct amount of refrigerant gas, the sight glass should show clear liquid. A very few small bubbles may be present when the system is started or when the TX valve opens quickly. But it should return to clear liquid shortly after. Current draw and delivery pressure will be within the nominal range and temperatures should be consistent with gas properties.
