1. INTRODUCTION
The HP290 Heat Pump System. This document applies to the
installation and maintenance of the following individual and
combined products when installed in the United Kingdom &
Republic of Ireland.
• HP290 Heat Pump
• DHW Cylinder
• HP290 controls:
- HP290 Control Box (included on HP290 preplumbed cylinders)
- HP290 Controller
The HP290 Monobloc Heat Pump is an Air to Water type system
and suitable to be installed in a domestic household within a sealed
heating system. The Monobloc heat pump does not provide a
cooling function. The appliance will produce condensate water,
a suitable disposal system and drainage point shall need to be
installed.
The heat pump takes heat from the ambient outdoor air for transfer
into domestic hot water or space heating system. This air is not to
the natural environment.
The HP290 Domestic Hot Water cylinder is to be used to store heat
from the heat pump. The DHW cylinder is to be installed within a
domestic household.
Overall control of the heating system is provided by the HP290
Control Box or the HP290 Controller. Day-to-day control will
be provided by the HP290 Controller or a programmable room
thermostat.
2. SAFETY
Flammable Refrigerant:
odourless, and colourless refrigerant. In the event of a leak from
the refrigerant circuit this can create a hazardous environment. To
reduce the risk of a hazardous event, the installation instructions
should be followed, and the installation area should be kept clear
of ignition sources, including but not limited to; electrical switches,
electrical plug sockets, and lamps.
Modication of the Products and Installation Environment:
requirements for both the products and installation environments
are always followed. The end user should be properly informed of

potentially build up around the heat pump and freeze if not
properly disposed of. Appropriate disposal methods of the
condensate should be implemented and maintained to prevent
slipping hazard.
