THE
INDOOR
UNIT
6.1.
Selecting an installation location
The unit is to be wall mounted in an indoor location that meets the
following requirements:
■
The installation location is frost-free.
■
The space around the unit is adequate for servicing.
■
The space around the unit allows for sufficient air circulation.
■
There is a provision for condensate drain (only for EKHBX
models with drain pan kit EKHBDP) and pressure relief valve
blow-off.
■
The installation surface is a flat and vertical non-combustible
wall, capable of supporting the operation weight of the unit (see
"12. Technical specifications" on page 50
■
All piping lengths and distances have been taken into
consideration.
■
During normal operation the hydrobox unit will produce sound
which could be observed as noise. The sound origin can be
water pump operation and/or contactor activation. Therefore it is
advisable to install the hydrobox unit on a firm wall and not in nor
close to a sound sensitive environment (e.g. bedroom).
■
Do not install the unit in places with high humidity (e.g.
bathroom).
■
Do not install the unit in places often used as work place.
In case of construction works (e.g. grinding works) where a lot of
dust is created, the unit must be covered.
■
Take care that in the event of a water leak, water can not cause
any damage to the installation space and surroundings.
■
Do not place any objects or equipment on top of the unit.
■
Install the power wire at least 1 meter away from televisions or
radios to prevent image interference or noise.
(Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 meter may not
be sufficient to eliminate the noise.)
■
Do not install the unit in places such as the following:
■
Where there is mist of mineral oil, oil spray or vapour.
Plastic parts may deteriorate, and cause them to fall out or
water to leak.
■
Where corrosive gas, such as sulphurous acid gas, is
produced.
Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause the
refrigerant to leak.
■
Where there is machinery which emits electromagnetic
waves.
Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system, and
cause malfunction of the equipment.
■
Where the air contains high levels of salt.
■
Where voltage fluctuates a lot, such as that in factories.
■
In vehicles or vessels.
■
Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present.

WARNING
Be sure to provide for adequate measures in order to
prevent that the unit be used as a shelter by small animals.
CAUTION
■
Small animals making contact with electrical parts can
cause malfunctions, smoke or fire. Please instruct the
customer to keep the area around the unit clean and
clear.
■
The equipment is not intended for use in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
■
Be sure that sufficient precautions are taken, in
accordance with the applicable legislation, in case of
refrigerant leakage.
■
When installing the unit in a small room, take
measures in order to keep the refrigerant
concentration from exceeding allowable safety limits
in the event of a refrigerant leak.
Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room
can lead to oxygen deficiency.
■
Where flammable gases may leak, where carbon fibre
or ignitable dust is suspended in the air or where
volatile flammables, such as thinner or gasoline, are
handled.
Such gases may cause a fire.
