The heat pump is suitable for outside installation.
a. Select a location where any potential noise disturbance is
minimised.
b. Provide a firm level base capable of supporting the weight
of the machine. Fixing holes are provided for bolting the
machine down to the base.
c. If wall mounting, ensure that the wall and framework are
capable of supporting the machine and use anti-vibration
mounts to prevent noise transmission. The weights of the
heat pumps are included on the data sheet on page 16 of
this manual.
d. If installing in a location exposed to strong wind, do not face
the air outlet of the unit against the direction of the wind as
wind entering the unit may impede the normal airflow and
result in a malfunction.
e. Allow for the minimum clearances around the machine, as
shown below, required for unobstructed air flow and access
to service panels. A clearance of 1 metre above the unit is
recommended for servicing access through the top panel.
f. Consider protection from extreme weather conditions with a
cover or enclosure if the machine is installed externally
g. Consider fitting a protective guard where the machine could
be exposed to vandalism or other damage.
h. If installed in a plant room or other building, ensure that the air
outlet is positioned directly adjacent to the outside wall with
inlet and discharge grilles or apertures of minimum free areas
as detailed below.
