5Chapter 1 | Important informationNIBE™ F2040

Transport and storage
F2040 must be transported and stored vertically.
Assembly
■Place F2040 outdoors on a solid level base that can
take the weight, preferably a concrete foundation.
If concrete slabs are used they must rest on asphalt
or shingle.
■The concrete foundation or slabs must be positioned
so that the lower edge of the evaporator is at the
level of the average local snow depth, although a
minimum of 300 mm.
■The F2040 should not be positioned next to sensitive
walls, for example, next to a bedroom.
■Also ensure that the placement does not inconveni-
ence the neighbours.
■F2040 must not be placed so that recirculation of the
outdoor air can occur. This causes lower output and
impaired efficiency.
■The evaporator should be sheltered from direct wind,
which negatively affects the defrosting function.
Place F2040 protected from wind against the evap-
orator.
■Large amounts of condensation water as well as melt
water from defrosting can be produced. Condensa-
tion water must be led off to a drain or similar (see
page 7).
■Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is not
scratched during installation.

Do not place F2040 directly on the lawn or other non
solid surface.
If there is a risk of snow slip from roof, a protective roof
or cover must be erected to protect the heat pump,
pipes and wiring.

2 Delivery and handling

Condensation run off
Condensation water trough
The condensation water trough is used to collect and
lead away condensation water from the heat pump.
NOTE
It is important to the heat pump function that
condensation water is led away and that the
drain for the condensation water run off is not
positioned so that it can cause damage to the
house.
NOTE
Pipe with heating cable for draining the con-
densation water trough are not included.
NOTE
To ensure this function the accessory KVR 10
should be used.
NOTE
The electrical installation and wiring must be
carried out under the supervision of an author-
ised electrician.
NOTE
Self regulating heating cables must not be
connected.
Caution
If none of the recommended alternatives is
used good lead off of condensation water
must be assured.
■The condensation water (up to 50 litres/day) collec-
ted in the trough should be routed by pipe to an
appropriate drain, it is recommended that the
shortest outdoor stretch possible is used.
■The section of the pipe that can be affected by frost
must be heated by the heating cable to prevent
freezing.
■Route the pipe downward from F2040.
■The outlet of the condensation water pipe must be
at a depth that is frost free or alternatively indoors
(with reservation for local ordinances and regula-
tions).
■Use a water trap for installations where air circulation
may occur in the condensation water pipe.
■The insulation must be tight against the bottom of
the condensation water trough.
Drain pan heater, control
The drain pan heater is supplied with power when one
of the following conditions is met:
1. Operating mode "Heating" or "Hot water" is activ-
ated.
2. The compressor has been in operation for at least
30 minutes after last start.
3. The ambient temperature is lower than 1 C.
Recommended alternatives
Stone caisson
LEK
Frostfritt djup
Frost proof depth
If the house has a cellar the stone caisson must be po-
sitioned so that condensation water does not affect
the house. Otherwise the stone caisson can be posi-
tioned directly under the heat pump.
The outlet of the condensation water pipe must be at
frost free depth.
Drain indoors
Water seal
The condensation water is lead to an indoor drain
(subject to local rules and regulations).
Route the pipe downward from F2040.
7Chapter 2 | Delivery and handlingNIBE™ F2040

The condensation water pipe must have a water seal
to prevent air circulation in the pipe.

Installation area
The distance between F2040 and the house wall must
be at least 150 mm. Clearance in front of F2040 should
be at least one metre.
