1.1 Positioning Equipment
NOTICE
Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment.
l
Do not install equipment inside of a building.
Outdoor Use Only
Do not install equipment inside of a room or building.
l
Heat Pumps require unobstructed airflow for proper operation. Heat Pumps should never be installed indoors or in
a location where airflow is restricted.
l
See " Clearances " on the next page.
Controlling Irrigation and Rainwater Runoff
l
Irrigation water may damage heat pump components. Direct irrigation water away from the heat pump.
l
The heat pump will withstand normal rainfall. Do not allow a roof slope to direct rainwater onto the heat pump.
Have a gutter installed on the roof edge to direct this water away from the heat pump. Or install the heat pump in
another location.
Planning for Condensation
The heat pump can produce a large amount of condensation. The amount of water depends on air temperature
and humidity.
l
Install the heat pump with enough height to allow for water drainage.
l
Plan for water drainage as needed.
Mounting Pad Requirements
l
The heat pump's base must be installed on a flat and level surface that completely supports the entire base.
l
Build the heat pump pad out of concrete or other code-approved material.
l
Confirm the pad can support the weight of the heat pump. See " Weights " on page 66.
l
Elevate the pad enough to allow for drainage.
l
Make sure the pad is flat and level.
l
Have the pad support the entire heat pump base in all directions.
l
Do not install the heat pump on soil or grass.
l
Do not allow the heat pump base to touch the building's foundation.
l
Do not place the heat pump directly on a concrete floor. This can cause noise to be transmitted to an occupied
space. If necessary install vibration dampers between the heat pump base and floor.
l
Equipment pad must meet all requirements of authorities having code-related jurisdiction.
Anchoring to Pad
l
Follow all applicable local, state, and national requirements regarding wind load anchoring.
l
The shipping brackets used to secure the heat pump to the pallet are approved mounting (hurricane) brackets.
They should be used to anchor the heat pump to the pad.
l
If needed, contact Leisure Temp to obtain anchoring kit information. Please have the heat pump model number
and serial number when requesting support.
See " Identifying Model Specifications " on page 65.
