Split Installation

Split Installation

Installing the indoor box Split

The Hydro box contains, electric backup heater, water to refrigerant heat 
exchanger, filter ball, flow meter, flow switch, expansion vessel, an 8m pump, 
cylinder sensor (blue) and the remote controller. 

Install the unit indoors, it’s not waterproof.

It needs to be sited within 75m of the hot water cylinder, less than 75 or 30m 
m from the outdoor unit.

The box is:

• 

2-3hp 450mm wide, 820mm high, 275mm deep. It weighs 45kg

• 

4-6hp 520mm wide, 940mm high, 360mm deep. It weighs 48kg

• 

8-10hp 670mm wide, 990mm high, 360mm deep. It weighs 62kg 

Note the pump in the split can only manage a run of 10m at 28mm diameter 
copper each way to the header or cylinder.

Split units need a drain connection for the Robokit and condensation

Refrigeration pipework Combi 

Your fridge engineer will need to pipe between the indoor and outdoor units 
with refrigeration pipework.

All units have enough refrigerant R410a for 15m of pipework (each way).

The additional refrigerant charge required is:

• 

Size 2 add 30g/m after 15m

• 

Size 3 add 40g/m after 15m

• 

Size 4 add 60g/m after 15m

• 

Size 6 add 60g/m after 15m

• 

Size 8 add 65g/m after 15m

• 

Size 10 add 65g/m after 15m 

If the pipe length is under 5m set DSW2 pin 1 up to on. If the pipe length is over 30M set DSW2 pin 2 to up on

When delivered the indoor unit expansion valves are fully closed. To open the valve you must 

apply power to the unit and make sure dip switch DSW4 pin 2 to up .

You MUST pressure test, vac and charge using both service valves at all times.

When you finish vaccing and charging switch power off the unit, set DSW4 pin 2 to off and then power up again or the unit wont 
start.
