Transport and storage
F2040 must be transported and stored vertically.
Assembly
• Place F2040 outdoors on a solid level base that can
take the weight, preferably a concrete foundation. If
concrete slabs are used they must rest on asphalt or
shingle.
• The concrete foundation or slabs must be positioned
so that the lower edge of the evaporator is at the level
of the average local snow depth, although a minimum
of 300 mm.
• The F2040 should not be positioned next to sensitive
walls, for example, next to a bedroom.
• Also ensure that the placement does not inconveni-
ence the neighbours.
• F2040 must not be placed so that recirculation of the
outdoor air can occur. This causes lower output and
impaired efficiency.
• The evaporator should be sheltered from direct wind,
which negatively affects the defrosting function. Place
F2040 protected from wind against the evaporator.
• Large amounts of condensation water, as well as melt
water from defrosting, may be produced. Condensa-
tion water must be led off to a drain or similar (see
page 10.
• Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is not
scratched during installation.
Do not place F2040 directly on the lawn or other non
solid surface.
If there is a risk of snow slip from roof, a protective roof
or cover must be erected to protect the heat pump,
pipes and wiring.
