Electrical Installation
Location and Clearances
All criteria given in the following sections reflect minimum clearances. However, each installation
must also be evaluated, taking into account the prevailing local conditions such as proximity and
height of walls, and proximity to public access areas. The UltraTemp® Heat Pump must be placed
to provide clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection.
1. At least 1.5m access must be available in the front and 250 mm on all the other sides of the heat
pump for service and proper air flow. (Manufacturer’s recommendation).
2. If the heat pump is to be installed under a cover or under a vertical overhang, the unit must have
a minimum of 1.5m clearance from the top of the heat pump. (Manufacturer’s recommendation).
3. Install a minimum of 1.5m from the inside wall of the pool or spa unless the heat pump is sepa-
rated from the pool or spa by a 1.5m high solid fence or other permanent barrier.
4. Install heat pump a minimum of 250mm from the wall of the house.
5. Allow 600mm clearance above the heat pump for service access.

Anchor Clamp Installation
Installation of the anchor clamps is recommended in all installations. Anchor clamps hold the heat
pump to the equipment pad in order to withstand high winds, accidental movement and excessive
vibration.
To install the anchor clamps:
1. Be sure the heat pump is in its permanent location on the equipment pad.
2. Locate the clamps at the base of the heat pump in the four (4) locations, shown in the image to
the right.
Note: Bolts and bolt anchors are not included with the heat pump. The installer must provide 1/4”
x 1-3/8” stainless steel anchor bolts and the appropriate size concrete anchor to mount the clamp
to the equipment pad. Be sure to check local codes.
3. Fit the anti-vibration pad (included) under each anchor clamp.
