HEAT PUMP AND TANK ASSEMBLY 

 

STORAGE TANK AND HEAT PUMP MODULE 

The heat pump water heater is made of two main components, the storage tank and the heat pump module. 
For  transport  and  handling  (weight)  purposes  both  items  are  shipped  separately  and  designed  to  be 
assembled  at  the  installation  site.  The  water  heater  must  not  be  operated  until  both  components  are 
assembled. 
 

HEAT PUMP MODULE 

The heat pump module is to be mounted on the top of the storage tank. It is designed so that it can be lifted 
to the top of the storage tank by two people. It is shipped in a box containing two lifting bars that are inserted 
into the heat pump module to facilitate lifting. 
 

CAUTION:

  The  heat  pump  module  weighs  approximately  48 kg.  Use  the  lifting  bars  provided  to  lift  and 

mount to the top of the storage tank. Good lifting practice should be followed. 
 
There are two flexible hoses provided inside the heat pump module. The flexible hoses are to be fixed to the 
two water fittings on the top of the storage tank during the assembly procedure. 
 
There are two connection points located on the control board behind the electrical cover in the heat pump 
module  to  which  the  power  cable  and  tank  sensor  cable  from  the  storage  tank  are  connected  during  the 
assembly procedure. 
 

STORAGE TANK 

The  storage  tank  must  be  fully  supported  by  a  level  slab  or  solid  base.  The  storage  tank  is  designed  to 
support the heat pump module. 
 
There are two water fittings located at the top of the storage tank to which flexible hoses from the heat pump 
module are connected during the assembly procedure. 
 
A power cable and a tank sensor cable protrude from the top of the storage tank. These are to be connected 
to the control board behind the electrical cover in the heat pump module during the assembly procedure.
