POSITIONING
Choosing the area where your heat pump will be installed is extremely important. You must respect the
following guidelines.
VENTILATION AND ACCESSIBILITY
Your heat pump works, in large part, in symbiosis with the surrounding air: it is important that there be
adequate ventilation all around the heat pump. Therefore, the device should not be installed in a closed
space such as a garden shed or a basement.
IMPORTANT:
Your heat pump must have sufficient free space around it to function properly.
You should also clear any obstructions surrounding the heat pump, as indicated in the table below:
ALL MODELS
(1) in front of the evaporation coil
60 cm = 2 feet
(2) in front of all other surfaces
35 cm = 14 inches
(3) in front of the fan*
120 cm = 4 feet
(4) in front of the service panel
60 cm = 2 feet
*Objects should be placed as far away as possible from the area where air is evacuated.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
You should not install the device below a roof, so that your heat pump becomes buried under snow or
receives too much water if the roof is not fitted with gutters. Do not install your heat so that the sun
directly hits the regulator. This will not cause damages, but the display will be harder to read.
Similarly, you should not install automatic sprinkler near your pool heat pump. The device must be
installed on a flat, firm and level surface. A concrete slab or equivalent is preferred. Consider that your
device will produce condensation, so there will be water leaking around the unit.
