To prevent exposure to wind, install the unit with its
suction side facing the wall.
Never install the unit at a site where the suction side
may be exposed directly to wind.
To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on
the air discharge side of the unit.
In heavy snowfall areas, it is very important to select
an installation site where the snow will not affect the
unit. If lateral snowfall is possible, make sure that the
heat exchanger coil is not affected by the snow (if
necessary construct a lateral canopy).
6.1 Selecting a location in cold
climates
Refer to "Handling" in section “4 Before installation”
When operating the unit in cold climates, be sure
to follow the instructions described below.
NOTE
09
①
Construct a large canopy.
②
Construct a pedestal.
Install the unit high enough off the ground to prevent it
from being buried in snow.
6.2 Selecting a location in hot
climates
As the outdoor temperature is measured via the outdoor
unit air thermistor, make sure to install the outdoor unit in
the shade or a canopy should be constructed to avoild
direct sunlight, so that it is not influenced by the sun’s
heat, otherwise protection may be possible to the unit.
①
②
In case of strong wind and the wind direction can be
foreseen,refer to the figures below for installation of the
unit(any one is OK):
Turn the air outlet side toward the building's wall, fence
or screen.
Make sure there is enough room to do the installation.
Set the outlet side at a right angle to the direction of the
wind.

Prepare a water drainage channel around the
foundation, to drain waste water from around the unit.
If water does not easily drain from the unit, mount the
unit on a foundation of concrete blocks, etc. (the
height of the foundation should be about 100 mm
(3.93 in).
If you install the unit on a frame, please install a
waterproof plate (about 100 mm) on the underside of
the unit to prevent water from coming in from the low
side.
When installing the unit in a place frequently exposed
to snow, pay special attention to elevate the
foundation as high as possible.
If you install the unit on a building
frame, please install a waterproof
tray (field supply) (about 100mm, on
the underside of the unit) in order to
avoid drain water dripping. (See the
picture in the right).

WARNING
NOTE
During filling, it might not be possible to remove all air in the system. Remaining air will be removed through the
automatic air purge valves during the first operating hours of the system. Topping up the water afterwards might be
required.
The water pressure will vary depending on the water temperature (higher pressure at higher water temperature).
However, at all times water pressure should remain above 0.3 bar to avoid air entering the circuit.
The unit might drain-off too much water through the pressure relief valve.
Water quality should be complied with EN 98/83 EC Directives.
Detailed water quality condition can be found in EN 98/83 EC Directives.
Connect the water supply to the filling valve and open the valve.
Make sure the automatic air purge valve is open (at least 2 turns).
Fill with water pressure of approximately 2.0 bar. Remove air in the circuit as much as possible using the air purge
valves. Air in the water circuit could lead to malfunction of the backup electric heater.
9.5 Filling water
Do not fasten the black plastic cover on
the vent valve at the topside of the unit
when the system is running. Open air
purge valve, turn anticlockWise at least
2 full turns to release air from the
system.
CounterclockWise rotation, remove the flow switch.
Drying the flow switch completely.
When the unit is not running for a long time, make sure the unit is powered on all the time. If you want to cut off the
power, the water in the system pipe needs to be drained clean to avoid the unit and pipeline system being damaged by
freezing. Also the power of the unit needs to be cut off after water in the system is drained off.
