3.5 Installation checking
3.5.1 Location checking
The flooring beneath the water heater must be able to support the weight of the unit when filled with water.
Located indoors (such as a basement or garage) and in a vertical position. Sheltered from the freezing
temperatures.
Provisions made to shelter the area from water damage.Metal drain pan installed and piped to an adequate
drain.
Sufficient space to service the water heater.
Sufficient air for the heat pump to function,the water heater must be located in a space which is more than
15m3,and must have unrestricted air flow.
For optimal efficiency and service ability,the following clearances should be maintained:800mm on the air inlet side ,
800mm on the air outlet side,600mm in the back,and 600mm in the front.
The unit cannot be placed into any type of closet or small enclosure.
The site location must be free from any corrosive elements in the atmosphere such as sulfur,fluorine and
chlorine.These elements are found in aerosol sprays,detergents,bleaches,cleaning solvents,air
fresheners, paint and varnish removes, refrigerants and many other commercial and household products.
In addition excessive dust and lint may affect the operation of the unit and require more frequent cleaning.
The ambient air temperature must be above -7℃ and below 43℃.If the ambient air temperature falls outside
these upper and lower limits the electrical elements will be activated to meet the hot water demand.
3.5.2 Checking of the water system piping
PTR valve (Temperature and pressure relief valve)properly installed with a discharge pipe run to an adequate
drain and sheltered from freezing.
All piping properly installed and free of leaks.
Unit completely filled with water.
Water temperature limit valve or mixer tap (Recommended)installed per manufacturer’s instructions.
3.5.3 Checking of condensate drain pipe
Must be located with access to an adequate drain or condensate pump.
Condensate drain lines installed and piped to an adequate drain or condensate pump.
3.5.4 Checking of the electrical connections
The water heater requires 220-240VAC for proper operation.
Wiring size and connections comply with all local applicable codes and the requirements of this manual.
Water heater and electrical supply are properly grounded.
Proper overload fuse or circuit breaker protection installed.
3.5.5 Post installation review
Understand how to use the controller to set the various parameters and functions.
Understand the importance of routine inspection/maintenance of the condensate drain pan and lines.This is to
help prevent any possible drain line blockage resulting in the condensate drain pan overflowing.
IMPORTANCE:Water coming from the plastic shroud is an indicator that both condensation drain lines may
be blocked.Immediate action is required.
To maintain optimal operation check,remove and clean the air filter.
