Pre-Installation Notes
• Store the manual in a safe place in order to be able to use it as reference after installation. For
maximum safety installers should always read the following warnings carefully.
• Store the provided manual in a safe location with the end user after installation, and remember
to hand it over to the new end user if the Heat Pump & Cylinder unit is sold or transferred.
• The Exhaust Air Heat Pump is compliant with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive
(2014/35/EU), the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) and the pressure equipment directive (2014/68/EU).
• The manufacturers shall not be responsible for damage originating from unauthorised changes
or the improper connection of electric and hydraulic lines.
• Do not use units if you see some damage on them and notice something untoward such as loud
noise, smell or burning.
• In order to prevent electric shocks, fires or injuries, always stop the unit, disable the protection
switch and contact Joule’s technical support if the unit produces smoke, if the power cable is
hot or damaged, or if the unit is very noisy.
• Always remember to inspect the unit, electric connections, refrigerant tubes and protections
regularly. These operations shall be performed by qualified personnel only.
• The unit contains moving parts and electrical parts which should always be kept out of the
reach of children.
• Unauthorised personnel should not attempt to repair, move, alter or reinstall the unit. These
operations may cause product damage, electric shock and fires.
• Do not place containers with liquids or other objects on the unit.
• All the materials used for the manufacture and packaging of the Exhaust Air heat pump are
recyclable. The packaging material and exhaust batteries of the remote controller (optional)
must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
• The Exhaust Air Heat Pump containing a refrigerant must be disposed in an authorised centre
or returned to retailer as special wastes.
• To avoid your hands being injured by the edge of the parts wear protective gloves to unpack,
move, install, and service the unit. Do not touch the internal parts (water pipes, refrigerant
pipes, heat exchangers, etc) while running the units. If you need to adjust and touch the units,
allow sufficient time for the unit to cool and be sure to wear suitable personal protective equip-
ment.
• In case of refrigerant leakage, try to avoid contact with the refrigerant as this could result in
severe wounds.

First Fix Notes
Heat Pump Breaker Size
HHH-2-0000-VHP 13Amp
Primary Pipework From Heat Pump To Pre-plumbed Unit
• Minimum pipe size 22mm copper or 25mm Multilayer
• The primary pipework should be fully insulated and protected from water and mois-
ture.
• The supplied flexible hose should be used for piping the condense outlet only, providing a
suitable air gap to the drain connection.
Electrical Supply And Cable Requirements
• Power supply to heat pump to be terminated with with a suitable isolator located next to the unit.
• Pre-moulded communication cable from Heat Pump unit to the pre-plumbed unit (Supplied by
Joule)
Communication Location
Pre-moulded
communication cable
From Heat Pump unit
(Ethernet) to pre-plumbed
unit (Field Bus 1).
• When installing the Heat Pump take great care to install as per the detailed notes for installa-
tion locations. The Exhaust Air Heat Pump must have minimum clearance of 300mm at the top
of the unit and 150mm at the bottom of the unit.
• The Exhaust Air Heat Pump must not be installed in a location without these clearances available.
• Condensation will form inside the Heat Pump during normal operation. Ensure the correct
pipework is used and that it has a continuous fall to the drain connection.
• An adequate air gap is also required to allow the water to drain correctly.
• The Exhaust Air Heat Pump must be installed vertically and be plumb and level.

Victorum EAHP Unit
First Fix Notes
• Underfloor heating pipe centres to be equal to or less than 150mm.
• Radiators are to be sized according to standardized design methods. Eg. SR.50 or MCS.
• An electronic mixing valve is required for underfloor heating. This is to control the flow
temperature entering the floor.
• All underfloor heating manifolds must have a suitable sized additional circulating pump to
maintain a constant flow rate through the UFH loops.
• All zones to be controlled using 2 port valves (minimum valve size 22mm).
• 3 port valves MUST not be used.
• Mechanical by-pass valve to be installed after the primary circulating pump on the flow pipe
but before any heating zone valves (Not applicable to pre-plumbed units as the by-pass is
incorporated).
• All underfloor heating circuits to be controlled via a third party underfloor wiring centre. A volt
free signal is to be used to signal the pre-plumbed unit.
• The hot water control is managed through the touchscreen controller. Heating is prioritized
over hot water production.
• For heating via underfloor heating, the End user interacts with 3rd party controls only. It is
the installers responsibility to ensure that attached designs are followed to achieve this or
if a uniquely designed system is being installed the designer must allow for the 3rd party
controls facility.
• Underfloor heating circuits are controlled by 3rd party room thermostats.
• Use of time clocks to turn off underfloor heating circuits is not recommended.
• Room thermostats in underfloor heating circuits should not be turned off but set back to a
lower temperature using appropriate heating setback control for periods of unoccupied use.
• Air is the most prevalent cause of restricted flow in the system. Make sure that all pipework
can easily be purged of air and that all air is removed from the system prior to starting the unit.
Site visits to solve a flow rate issue due to the presence of air are not covered under EUW and
as such will incur a call-out charge.
• Air must be purged from the system using a suitable fill & flush pump via the fill & flush
valve. This is the easiest way to purge all air from the system.
• The Heat Pump duct connections are Ø150mm. Flat Pack, Round or Semi Rigid duct is
acceptable however, the cross sectional area must not be reduced; it must be maintained or
increased to avoid noise in the duct system.

Victorum EAHP Unit
Transport & Handling
Handling Instructions
• Care must be taken when transporting, storing
and installing the Heat Pump.
• The Victorum unit is delivered fully packaged
and xed to a wooden pallet base. Care should
be taken when transporting the Heat Pump
ensuring that the unit is not damaged by impact.
• The Heat Pump must remain in the upright
position during transport.
• Do not remove the protective packaging until the
Heat Pump unit has reached its nal location.
This will help protect the heatpump from damage.
• For transport, e.g. via a stairs, the Heat Pump
may be tilted for a maximum of 15 minutes up to
a maximum angle of 45 degrees.
• The Heat Pump weighs 45kg. At least two people
are required to lift the unit at all times.
• The Heat Pump must be stored in a dry area
and always stored upright on a level base. The
unit must never be dropped during storage or
handling
• Packaging should only be removed at the
installation location.
• The installation area should be free from frost.
• The Victorum unit only must be installed on a
plumb level wall with the required load bearing
capability.
• Installation, servicing, maintenance and repair
must be carried out by a competent person.
Use a lifting tool if moving the Victorum upstairs.

Mounting the Heat Pump
Wall Mounted
The Victorum can only be hung on
a smooth wall capable of holding
a mass of 200kg/m². If the mass
is lower than this, ensure the
recommended wall build-up is
adhered to. The Victorum should
always be hung level however there
is a permitted tolerance of 2°.
3. Mount the wall bracket using the supplied
screws and plugs or suitable alternatives.
4. Hang the Victorum off the wall bracket.
1. Measure and mark
positions for pilot holes
based on the dimensions
displayed here.
2. Attach anti-vibration pad to suspension
bracket using self-Adhesive on one side.
Attach circular vibration pads to mounds on rear
of the Victorum.
