3 Transport, delivery check and positioning
3.1 Transporting heat pump
Caution The heat pump must always be transported and stored in an upright position and in a dry environment. If the
heat pump is laid on the incorrect side it may become seriously damaged as the oil in the compressor can run
out in the pressure pipe.
Caution
Always secure the heat pump so that it can't tip over during transportation.
3.2 Delivery check
1. Check that there is no transport damage.
2. Remove the packaging and check that the delivery contains the following components.
Quantity Name
1 Heat pump
1 Control unit with connection cord
1 Document set
1 Flexible hose for drainage of condensate water
1 Buffer tank sensor
1 Hot water tank sensor
3.3 Positioning the heat pump
When positioning the heat pump, note the following:
Caution
The heat pump must be installed outdoors and secured on a stable base, for example a cast foundation. All
four mounting points must be secured to the base.
Caution
Incorrect positioning of the heat pump risks reduction of performance.
▪
Use M10 bolts for fastening the frame to the base.
▪
Select a position with good ventilation and with enough free space for installation and maintenance.
▪
Do not select a position that will block the air flow near the inlet or outlet areas.
▪
No barrier allowed closer than 30 cm behind the unit.
▪
Check with a spirit level that the heat pump is installed horizontally.
▪
Ensure that condensate water is well drained from the unit. A flexible hose is available as accessory for
drainage. If there is a freezing risk, use a heat cable inside the hose.
▪
Make sure that condensate water is not drained out on a footway, which may become slippery or icy.
This is important to avoid the risk of personal injury.
