For the Installer
FIGHTER 200P
Current regulations require the heating installation to
be inspected before it is commissioned. The inspection
must be carried out by a suitably qualified person. The
above applies to installations with a closed expansion
vessel. A new inspection must be made when chang-
ing the heat pump or the expansion vessel.
The heat pump should preferably be erected with its
back about 10 mm from an outside wall in a utility
room or similar, to minimise noise nuisance. If this is
not possible, avoid placing it against a wall behind a
bedroom or other room where noise may be a prob-
lem. Irrespective of the placement the wall should be
sound insulated. NOTE! The distance between the
heat pump and the wall should be at least 10 mm.
Route pipes so they are not fixed to an internal wall
that backs on to a bedroom or living room.
An area of approximately 15 cm is required on the left
side of the heat pump, at the temperature and pres-
sure valve (104) to enable access to the valve.
NOTE! Since a waterfilled FIGHTER 200 weighs
roughly 435 kilos, the floor must stand such a weight.
The heat pump should be transported and stored ver-
tically in the dry.
The heat pump contains highly inflam-
mable refrigerant. Special care should
be exercised during handling, installa-
tion, service, cleaning and scrapping to
avoid damage to the refrigerant system
and in doing so reduce the risk of leak-
age.

Handling
Installation
Normally it is no problem to install FIGHTER 200P in
hard water areas since the maxing working tempera-
ture is 60 °C.

Inspection of the installation
The volume of the expansion vessel (85) is 12 litres
and it is pressurised as standard to 0.5 bar (5 mwp).
As a result, the maximum permitted height “H” between
the vessel and the highest radiator is 5 metres; see
figure. If the standard initial pressure in the pressure
vessel is not high enough it can be increased by add-
ing air via the valve in the expansion vessel. The initial
pressure of the expansion vessel must be stated in the
inspection document.
Any change in the initial pressure affects the ability of
the expansion vessel to handle the expansion of the
water. The maximum system volume excluding the
boiler is 106 litres at the above initial pressure.
