Section 2: Installation Introduction
This geothermal heat pump provides heated water.
Engineering and quality control is built into every geothermal
unit. Good performance depends on proper application and
correct installation.
Notices, Cautions, Warnings, & Dangers:
“NOTICE” Notification of installation, operation or
maintenance information which is important, but which is
NOT hazard-related.
“CAUTION” Indicates a potentially hazardous situation or an
unsafe practice which, if not avoided, COULD result in minor
or moderate injury or product or property damage.
“WARNING” Indicates potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
“DANGER” Indicates an immediate hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Inspection
Upon receipt of any geothermal equipment, carefully check
the shipment against the packing slip and the freight company
bill of lading. Verify that all units and packages have been
received. Inspect the packaging of each package and each unit
for damages. Insure that the carrier makes proper notation of
all damages or shortage on all bill of lading papers. Concealed
damage should be reported to the freight company within 5
days. If not filed within 5 days the freight company can deny all
claims�
Note: Notify Enertech Global, LLC shipping department of all
damages within 5 days. It is the responsibility of the purchaser
to file all necessary claims with the freight company.
Unit Protection
Protect units from damage and contamination due to
plastering (spraying), painting and all other foreign materials
that may be used at the job site. Keep all units covered on
the job site with either the original packaging or equivalent
protective covering. Cap or recap unit connections and all
piping until unit is installed. Precautions must be taken to
avoid physical damage and contamination which may prevent
proper start-up and may result in costly equipment repair�
Storage
All geothermal units should be stored inside in the original
packaging in a clean, dry location. Units should be stored in
an upright position at all times. Units should not be stacked
unless specially noted on the packaging.
Pre-Installation
Special care should be taken in locating the geothermal
unit. Installation location chosen should include adequate
service clearance around the unit. All units should be placed
on a formed plastic air pad, or a high density, closed cell
polystyrene pad slightly larger than the base of the unit. If
units are being placed on racking, the unit must be placed on a
solid foundation. All units should be located in an indoor area
where the ambient temperature will remain above 55°F and
should be located in a way that piping and ductwork or other
permanently installed fixtures do not have to be removed for
servicing and filter replacement.
Pre-Installation Steps:
1� Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with
packing slip and ordering information to verify that the
correct unit has been shipped.
2� Inspect all electrical connections
and wires. Connections must be clean and tight at the
terminals, and wires should not touch any sharp edges or
copper pipe�
3� Verify that all refrigerant tubing is free of dents and kinks.
Refrigerant tubing should not be touching other unit
components�
4� Before unit start-up, read all manuals and become familiar
with unit components and operation. Thoroughly check
the unit before operating.
⚠
CAUTION
⚠
Do not operate the Geothermal Heat Pump Unit during
construction phase.
