2.3 Installation of the hydraulic unit
2.3.1 Installation precautions
• Choose the location of the appliance after discussion
with the client.
• The installation space should comply with current
regulations.
• To facilitate maintenance and allow access to the
various parts, we recommend that you provide
sucient space all the way around the hydraulic unit.

• In accordance with EN 378-1 -2017 standard
(Refrigerating systems and heat pumps - Safety and
environmental requirements), the system's hydraulic
unit and all refrigeration connections passing through
inhabited areas must comply with the minimum room
volume requirements shown hereafter.
The minimum volume of a room (in m
3
) is calculated
using the formula: "uid ll load" (in kg) / 0.39.
Alternatively, you must ensure that
- the location has natural ventilation through another
room where the combined volume of the two rooms is
greater than "liquid ll load" (in kg) / 0.39 kg/m³. The
opening between the two rooms must have a door
clearance of at least 1 cm.
- or that the location is mechanically ventilated.
• Be careful not to bring ammable gas near the heat pump
during installation, in particular when brazing is required.
The appliances are not reproof and should not
therefore be installed in an explosive environment.
- To avoid condensation inside the condenser, remove
the refrigeration circuit caps only when making the
refrigeration connections.
- If the refrigeration connection is only performed at the
end of the installation, make sure that the refrigeration
circuit caps* remain in place and tight throughout the
installation.
* (Hydraulic unit side and outdoor unit side).
gure 17 - Mounting bracket
- After each maintenance operation on the refrigeration
circuit and before the nal connection, take care to
put the caps back in position to avoid any pollution
of the refrigeration circuit (sealing with adhesive is
prohibited).
2.3.2 Positioning the hydraulic unit
- Fix the bracket S securely (4 screws and plugs) to a
strong, at wall (not a light partition) ensuring that it is
correctly levelled.
- Hook the appliance onto its bracket S.
