This condition is therefore related to outdoor temperatures and not to indoor loads. Note 2 to entry:
Cycling on / off in active mode is not considered as thermostat-off. 3.1.58 thermostat-off mode operating hours HTO annual number of hours the unit is considered to be in thermostat-off mode, the value of which depends on the designated season and function Note 1 to entry: Expressed in h/annum. 3.1.59 thermostat-off mode power consumption PTO
power consumption of the unit while in thermostat-off mode Note 1 to entry: Expressed in W. 3.1.60 variable outlet control of the heat pump has means to vary the water flow temperature with the outdoor air temperature SIST EN 14825:2014
