General
F2120 is equipped with an internal electronic controller
that handles all functions necessary for operation of the
heat pump, e. g. defrosting, stop at max/min temperat-
ure, connection of the compressor heater, and protective
functions during operation.
Temperatures, number of starts and run time, are read
off in the indoor module/control module.
The integrated control shows information via status-
LEDs and can be used during servicing.
Under normal operating conditions the home owner
does not need to have access to the controller.
F2120 communicates with the NIBE indoor module/con-
trol module, which means that all settings and measure-
ment values from F2120 are adjusted and read off on
the indoor module/control module.
LED status
The base board (AA2) has six status LEDs for easy
control and fault tracing.

Master control
To control F2120, a NIBE indoor module/control module
is required, which calls upon F2120 according to de-
mand. All settings for F2120 are made via the indoor
module/control module. It also shows the status and
sensor values from F2120.
