Quick Start Guide
Electrical Connection
OASIS HEAT PUMPS MUST BE CONNECTED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL RELEVANT AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS,
APPLICABLE LAWS AND LOCAL LEGISLATIONS.
Under no circumstances should an unlicensed person attempt to install or repair an Oasis
heat pump themselves.
It is essential to ground the unit to safeguard against any short circuits that may occur inside
the unit. Additionally, bonding is necessary.
The unit has a separate moulded-in junction box with a standard electrical conduit nipple already in
place.
1.
Remove the external cover to the electrical terminal by removing the screws and the terminal
cover panel.
2.
Feed the electrical cable lines through the conduit nipple and attach the electric supply wires.
3.
To complete the electrical connection, install electrical conduit, UF cable or other suitable means
as specified (as permitted by local electrical authorities) and connect the cable to a dedicated
power supply branch circuit equipped with appropriate circuit protection.
Disconnect
An isolating switch MUST be installed within close proximity and in plain sight of the unit.
Initial Startup & Commissioning
NOTE: The water pump must be running and water circulating through the heat pump for the system
to operate.
1. Turn on your water pump and check for water leaks and verify water flow to and from the pool.
2. Turn on the electrical power supply to the Oasis unit.
3. Press the ON/OFF

key of the controller for half a second, the heat pump will start within 60
seconds.
4. Adjust the bypass valve to set the water flow rate in accordance with the specifications on Page
5 of this manual. After 10 minutes of operation, the optimal flow rate will result in an inlet/outlet
temperature difference of between one and two degrees Celsius.
5. Once the unit is running, switch off the water pump. The unit should then shut down on its own,
which indicates the flow switch is functioning correctly.
6. Run both the unit and water pump continuously (night and day), until the desired water
temperature is reached.
7. When the water-in temperature reaches this level, the unit will decrease its speed for a specific
time. If the temperature remains constant for 45 minutes, the unit will shut down for one hour
and sample the water temperature each hour thereafter, proving there is water flow.
In the event that the pool temperature drops more than 0.5 degrees below the desired
temperature, the unit will restart automatically.
In case of power failure during the operation of the machine, the machine will automatically
restart when the power is restored
