INSTALLATION
THE HEAT PUMP MODULE OF THIS WATER HEATER IS FOR OUTDOOR
INSTALLATON ONLY.
The installation must comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4,
AS/NZS 3000 and all local codes and regulatory authority requirements. In New
Zealand, the installation must conform with Clause G12 of the New Zealand
Building Code.
This water heater is recommended for connection to a 24 hour per day power
supply.
All packaging materials must be removed from the heat pump module prior to
its installation. This includes the removal of the cardboard base of the carton
from the underside of the module.
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. The water heater must not be operated until both
components are installed, connected and purged of air. Refer to
“Heat Pump
and Tank Assembly”
on page 11.
Take care when handling the heat pump module. The jacket of the heat pump
module needs to be handled gently so as not to cause damage.
Care must be taken during transportation and handling. Do not lay the
heat pump module down and do not
tilt the heat pump module more than
30° from the vertical
. This will displace the compressor lubricating oil. If the
heat pump module has been tilted more than 30° from the vertical during
handling, it will need one hour to drain back before the power to the water
heater can be switched on, otherwise damage to the compressor may result.
Warning:
This heat pump module is designed to be installed with a purpose
built water heater storage tank and may not be used for any other purpose.
