Plumbing connections
The plumbing connections must be carried out in compliance
with National or Local Regulations in force. The pipes must
be made in steel, galvanised steel or PVC and they must be
appropriately dimensioned on the basis of the nominal water
flow of the unit and the load losses of the water circuit. All
plumbing connections must be isolated using closed cell ma-
terial which is of a suitable thickness. The Heat Pump must
be connected to the pipes using flexible joints. The following
components must be installed in the water circuit:
– Socket thermometers to detect the circuit temperature.
– Manual shutter valves to isolate the Heat Pump from the
water circuit.
– Y filter with metal link not exceeding 1 mm positioned on the
Heat Pump inlet pipe.
– Filling assembly and discharge valve where necessary.

WARNING
For additional and more detailed information, refer
to the manual supplied with the Heat Pump.

WARNING
Commissioning of the heat pump requires certain
operating parameters to be set. If the heat pump is
installed in an area which is difficult to reach, set the
relative parameters prior to installation (for para-
meter setting, refer to the paragraph (
“3.2 Heat Pump
and setting of relative parameters” on page 31
).
All models of the SHP M EV series have been designed and
built to be installed externally and therefore the following pre-
cautions are recommended:
– observe and respect all the minimum service gaps indicated
below as this will prevent recirculation between intake and
delivery which can cause the unit to perform poorly or even
interrupt normal operation.
– create a floor (raised support base) suitably sized for the
unit. When the unit is operating in heating mode, the floor
prevents the formation of ice which, if allowed to accumula-
te, can interfere with machine operation.
– place anti-vibration supports between the base and the
contact surface even if the units are only transmitting minor
vibrations to the ground
