Installation
1. Siting/positioning
a) Ensure heat pump on site is as ordered, i.e. model, electrical
supply and factory fitted options.
b) Inspect unit for damage, in particular inspect the evaporator
(finned side) to ensure that it is undamaged. (Minor
indentations in the fins do not affect performance). If
severely damaged, endorse delivery note in presence of
the driver and send a recorded delivery letter to transport
company giving details.
c) Protect unit if installation is delayed.
d) Provide a firm level base capable of supporting operational
weight of unit; spread load on timber floor.
e) Ensure water cannot collect under unit – recommend units
are installed on plinths 100mm above finished floor level
and to also aid condensate drainage.
f) Allow adequate clearance to service panels on unit;
recommend 500mm minimum (see installation drawings).
g) All Calorex heat pumps are by design as quiet as is practical,
however due consideration should be given to siting in
order to fully exploit this feature, i.e. ensure that the inlet
and outlet grilles face away from occupied property.
h) Ensure loose debris such as leaves, grass cuttings, etc will
not block air inlet grilles.
i) Consider protection from extreme weather conditions if
installed externally, i.e. lean-to-cover or building.
