■Installation and maintenance rules
The appliance must be installed and maintained
by an approved professional in accordance with
the prevailing regulations and code of practice, in
particular:
- General regulations for electrical installations.
• Do not use any means to accelerate the defrosting
process or to clean the appliance, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• The appliance must be stored in a room that
does not contain continuously operating ignition
sources (for example: open flames, gas appliance
or operating electric heater).
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be careful, refrigerants can be odorless.
■Handling
The outdoor unit must not be in a horizontal position
during transport. Transport in a horizontal position
may damage the appliance by moving the refrigerant
and damaging the compressor's suspensions.
Damage caused by transportation in a horizontal
position is not covered by the warranty.
If necessary, the outdoor unit may be tilted during
manual handling (to go through a door or use a
staircase).
This operation must be conducted very carefully
and the appliance must be immediately restored to
the upright position.
■Installation
The heat pump installation must meet the
requirements related to the location of the heat
pump.
The heat pump is designed to be installed at less
than 2000 m altitude.
In accordance with IEC 60-335-2-40 standard, the
hydraulic module of the heat pump as well as all
the refrigerant connections that cross the inhabited
area must be installed in rooms respecting the
minimum surface.
• Warning, hydraulic unit should not be installed in
an air current.
■Refrigerant
The maximum R32 fluid load after refilling must not
exceed 1.84 kg.
■Containment of refrigeration circuits
All refrigeration circuits are sensitive to dust and
moisture contamination. If any such pollutants
penetrate the refrigeration circuit, they can affect
the reliability of the heat pump.
• Make sure that the connections and refrigeration
circuits (hydraulic unit, outdoor unit) are protected
correctly.
• In the event of a subsequent failure and following
an inspection, the presence of moisture or foreign
bodies in the compressor oil would automatically
void the warranty.
- Check upon receipt that the fittings and refrigeration
circuit caps mounted on hydraulic unit and outdoor
unit are properly seated and secured (cannot be
loosened with bare hands). If this is not the case,
tighten them using a C spanner.
- Check also that the refrigeration connections are
sealed (plastic caps or tubes crimped at the ends
and brazed). If the caps must be removed during
the installation (tubes to be re-cut for example),
put them back as soon as possible.
■Hydraulic connections
The connection must comply with good engineering
practices according to the regulations in force.
Reminder: Make the assembly seals according to
good engineering practices in force for plumbing
work:
- Use suitable seals (fibre seals, O rings).
- Use Teflon or hemp tape.
- Use sealant (synthetic as required).
Reminder: The presence on the installation of a CB
disconnection function (IEC 61770), designed to
avoid heating water from returning to the drinking
water network, is required by articles 16.7 and 16.8
of the Standard Departmental Sanitation Rules.
Glycol must be used if the initial temperature
is less than 10°C (cooling on the fan-coil
heater). If water containing glycol is used,
carry out an annual check of the quality of
the glycol. Use monopropylene glycol only.
Never use monoethylene glycol.
• In certain installations, the presence of different
metals can cause corrosion problems; in this case,
the formation of metal particles and sludge in the
hydraulic circuit is seen. Use a corrosion inhibitor in
the proportions recommended by its manufacturer.
• It is also necessary to ensure that the treated
water does not become aggressive.
The dielectric function is produced using polyamide
wire hoses (dielectric connections are not needed).
Place on the cold water supply a security unit with
calibrated valve 7 to 10 bar max. (depending on
local regulations), which will be connected to the
sewer vent. Operate the safety unit according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
The pressure relief
valve must be operated regularly to remove scale
deposits and to ensure that it is not blocked.
The domestic hot water tank must be supplied with
cold water through a safety group. There should be
no valve between the safety unit and the tank.
Connect the safety valve evacuation to the drain.
The discharge pipe connected to the pressure relief
valve must be installed in an environment kept frost-
free and continuously sloping downwards.
