INSTALLATION

Installation guidelines

The following information is for guidance only.

Locating the Unit

The unit should be located on a solid, flat, horizontal surface. Ensure 3 metres of free air 
flow to the  discharge panel and 1metre to the inlet panel. Ensure adequate access to the 
controller and for maintenance purposes.

Precautions
--Avoid locating the unit close to bedrooms or other noise sensitive areas.
--Avoid a location which could create vibration i.e. secured to a solid wall.
--Try to avoid placing the unit under a tree or exposed to extreme conditions.

Water connection

The heat pump is connected to a filtration circuit with a by-pass.
It is imperative that the by-pass is placed after the pump and the filter.
The by-pass generally consists of 3 valves.
This makes it possible to regulate the water flow which passes through the heat pump 
and to isolate the heat pump completely for any maintenance work, without cutting the 
flow of filtered water.

If your installation is equipped with a water treatment system (chlorine, bromine, saltetc) 
the by-pass must be installed before the water treatment, with a non-return valve 
between the by-pass and water treatment system.
