❷ Installation
2.1 I Selecting the location
• Installation is only permitted outdoors.
• Do not lift the appliance by the body; use the dedicated points on its base (see §
“
1.3 I
Dimensions and marking
“
).
• When the appliance is installed and protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a
maximum current of 30 mA, it should be installed at a distance of at least 2 metres from the
edge of the pool.
• If no RCD is installed with the appliance, it should be installed at a distance of at least 3.5
metres from the edge of the pool.
• The appliance must be installed at a minimum distance from the pool's surrounding edge.
This distance is determined by the electrical standards which apply in the installation country.
• Provide for a clear space around the appliance and ensure that the air inlet and outlet are not
obstructed for its correct operation and maintenance.
• The device must be installed vertically on a stable, level, and solid surface.
• This surface must be able to bear the weight (see § “1.2 I Technical specifications”) of the appliance (in
particular in the case of installation on a roof, a balcony or any other support). We recommend that the
appliance is installed on a slab which allows condensates to be piped.
The appliance must not be installed:
•
With the blowing towards a permanent or temporary obstacle (awning, brushwood, etc.) less than 5 metres away,
•
Within range of water or mud jets, sprays or run-off (take the effect of the wind into account),
•
Near a heat source or flammable gas,
•
Near high-frequency equipment,
•
In a location where it would be subject to snow build-up,
•
In a location where it might be flooded by the condensates produced by the appliance when operating.
Tip: to reduce noise produced by your heat pump
•
Do not install it under or facing a window.
•
Do not tilt it towards your neighbours.
•
Install it in an open space (sound waves are reflected on surfaces).
•
Install an acoustic screen around the heat pump, respecting the distances (see diagram §”2.2 I Hydraulic
connections”).
•
Install 50 cm of flexible PVC pipe at the heat pump water inlet and outlet to absorb vibrations.
