Equipment should be stored in its packaging in a clean, dry area. Store equipment in an
upright position at all times. Equipment is to be stacked in accordance with the notation on
the packaging.
DO NOT remove equipment from shipping cartons until equipment is
required for installation.
Cover equipment on the job site with either shipping cartons, vinyl film or an equivalent
protective covering. In areas where painting, plastering and/or spraying has not been
completed, all due precautions must be taken to avoid physical damage to the equipment
and contamination by foreign material. Physical damage and contamination may prevent
proper start-up and may result in costly equipment clean up. Examine all equipment before
installing.
B. Pre-Installation
Prior to installing the Hydronic Water Module and other EarthLinked
®
space heating and
cooling system above-ground components, you will need tools and equipment listed in
Section 8 to properly install the system.
Installation of the Hydronic Water Module must be done in accordance with this manual and
the EarthLinked
®
Technical Manual.
Prepare the Hydronic Water Module (HWM) for installation as follows:
1. Compare the data on the unit nameplate or packaging with ordering and shipping
information to verify the correct unit has been shipped (See Figure 1.)
2. Keep the HWM covered with the packaging until installation is begun and all plastering,
painting, etc. is finished.
3. Verify refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must be clean and tight at the terminals.
