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 evaporator.
•Large amounts of condensation water, as well as melt
water from defrosting, may be produced. Condensa-
tion water must be led off to a drain or similar (see
page 10.
• 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.

CONDENSATION WATER TROUGH
The condensation water trough collects and leads away
most of the 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.
Condensation runoff should be checked regu-
larly, especially during the autumn. Clean if
necessary.
NOTE
Pipe with heating cable for draining the con-
densation water trough is not included.
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.
• The condensation water (up to 50 litres/24 hrs) that
collects in the trough should be routed away by a 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 regulations).
• Use a water trap for installations where air circulation
may occur in the condensation water pipe.
• The insulation must seal against the bottom of the
condensation water trough.
NIBE F2040Chapter 2 | Delivery and handling10

Recommended alternative for leading off
condensation water
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 positioned
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 (sub-
ject to local rules and regulations).
Route the pipe downward from F2040.
The condensation water pipe must have a water seal to
prevent air circulation in the pipe.
KVR 10 spliced as illustrated. Pipe routing inside house
not included.

If none of the recommended alternatives is
used good lead off of condensation water must
be assured.
