Section 6: Installation considerations
When deciding the location to install the heat pump the
items contained within this chapter should be considered.
Physical location
The heat pump is for outdoor installation only. It should
also be installed in a place where:
The condensate can easily be drained away.
Hydraulic connections can easily be made to the
heating system and the DHW cylinder.
There is no risk of a flammable gas leak or any
outlets vents from any other system.
The wiring lengths come within reasonable
ranges particularly taking note of the 15m
controller cable.
Fixing of the heat pump
The heat pump should be fixed on two flat, horizontal and
solid hard surfaces such as concrete pads that are
capable of taking the unit‟s weight and draining the
condensate.
To prevent tipping, the heat pump must be suitably fixed.
The fixing should be strong enough to prevent the unit
from tipping over if the base becomes unlevel over time.
When installing the product in a place where it will be
affected by strong wind such as wind blowing between
buildings or on a rooftop an overturn prevention wire
supplied by the installer may be necessary.
Wall mounting
If the heat pump is to be wall mounted a condensate
collection tray (supplied by the installer) should be fixed
under the heat pump. The pipe from the tray to a suitable
drain should be heated so that it can‟t freeze and become
blocked.
