Running Temperature Range:
Setting water temperature target range: 38~60°C.
E-heater running ambient temperature range: -20~43°C.
Heat pump running ambient temperature range: -7~43°C.
Water temperature limits:
Unit:°C
Ambient Temp. (T4) T4≤-7 -7≤T4<-2 -2≤T4<2 2≤T4<7 7≤T4<43 43≤T4

COP varies at different ambient temperatures. Normally lower ambient temperaturesresult in longer
heat-up time because of lower effective performance. While the ambient temperature is below
-7°C, heat pump efficiency will decrease dramatically, the unit will automatically shift to E-heater
running.

2.8 Installation
2.8.1 Transport
In order to avoid scratch or damage of the unit surface, apply guard boards to the
contacting surface. Don’t incline the unit more than 75° whilst moving, and keep it vertical
when installing.
This unit is heavy, it needs to be carried by two or more persons,otherwise
injury and damage may result.
2.8.2 Location of installation
Location requirements
Enough space for installation and maintenance shall be preserved.
The air inlet and outlet should be free from obstacles and strong wind.
The base surface should be flat, which should be inclined no more than 2°, and able to
bear the weight of the unit and suitable for installing the unit without increasing noise or
vibration.
The operation noise and air flow expelled should not affect neighbors.
No flammable gas is leaked nearby.
It is convenient for piping and wiring.
If the unit has to be installed in the indoor space, the unit might cause indoor temperature
decrease and noise, please take preventive measures for this.
If the unit has to be installed on a metal part of building, make sure the well electric
insulation which should meet the relevant local electric standard.

The ambient air temperature must also be considered when installing this unit, in heat
pump mode the ambient air temperature must be above -7°C and below 43°C.If the
ambient air temperature falls outside the limits, the electrical elements will activate to meet
the hot water demand and the heat pump will not operate.
The unit should be located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures. The unit located
in unconditioned spaces(i.e., garages, basements, etc.) may require the water piping,
condensate piping, and drain piping to be insulated to shelter against freezing.
If installed in enclosed space, the water heater must be located in a space >15m³, and
must have unrestricted air flow. As an example, a room that has a 2.5 meters tall ceiling
and is 3 meters long by 2 meters wide would contain 15m³.

2.8.3 Water system piping
In case of installing the unit at a place where outside temperature isbelow freezing point,
insulation must be provided for all hydraulic components.
Water inlet or outlet pipes: The specication of the water inlet or outlet thread is RC3/4”,
which is external thread. Pipes should be heat-insulated well.
Installation of the pipe for PTR valve: The specification of the valve connecting thread is
RC3/4” ,which is internal thread. After installation, it must be confirmed that the drainpipe
outlet is exposed in the air.
Installation of the one way valve: The specification of the valve thread in accessories is
RC3/4”. It is used to prevent water from flowing backwards.
The drainage pipe should be insulated to prevent water inside pipe from freezing in cold

weather.
After water system piping connection, turn on the inlet and outlet valve to effuse the tank.
When water flow is coming out from outlet pipe, the tank is full, turn off all valves to check
the pipeline leakage.
If the inlet water pressure is less than 0.15MPa, a pump should be installed at the water
inlet. If the water supply hydraulic is higher than 0.65MPa, a reducing valve should be
installed at the water inlet pipe.
Condensate may be leaked from unit if drainage pipe is blocked, so a drainage pan should
be installed as instruction below.
To smoothly drain condensate, the unit should be installed at a horizontal floor. Otherwise,
the drain vent is ensured at the lowest place, and recommending the inclination angle of
unit to the ground should be no more than 2°.

2.8.4 Installation Outdoors
Raincover must be installed.
Filter needs to be installed at the air inlet position.
Notes:
When the rain cover is installed condensate will be generated around the outside of the rain cover.
Rain cover is needed to prevent water ingress.
For your safety, please do not take off the front decoration plate.

2.8.5 Electric connection
The power supply should be hard wired.
Power supply circuit should be earthed effectively. The wiring must be performed by
professional technicians in accordance with national wiring regulations and the circuit
diagram.
An all-pole disconnection device which has at least 3mm separation distance in all pole
and a residual current device (RCD) with the rating of above 10mA shall be incorporated in
the fixed wiring according to the national rule.
Set the electric leakage protector according to the relevant electric technical standards of
the state.
The power cord and the signal cord shall be laid out neatly and properly without mutual
interference or contact the connection pipe or valve.
After wire connection, check it again and make sure of connection before power is turned
on.
