5Chapter 1 | Important informationNIBE™ F2040

Transport and storage
F2040 must be transported and stored vertically.
Assembly
႑Place 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.
႑The concrete foundation or slabs must be posi-
tioned so that the lower edge of the evaporator is
at the level of the average local snow depth, al-
though a minimum of 300 mm.
႑The F2040 should not be positioned next to sensit-
ive walls, for example, next to a bedroom.
႑Also ensure that the placement does not inconveni-
ence the neighbours.
႑F2040 must not be placed so that recirculation of
the outdoor air can occur. This causes lower output
and impaired efficiency.
႑The evaporator should be sheltered from direct
wind. Place F2040 protected from wind against the
evaporator.
႑Large amounts of condensation water as well as
melt water from defrosting can be produced. Con-
densation water must be led off to a drain or similar
(see page 7).
႑Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is
not scratched during installation.
LEK
LEK
PLQ  PP
0LQ  PP
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.
႑The 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.
႑The section of the pipe that can be affected by frost
must be heated by the heating cable to prevent
freezing.
႑Route the pipe downward from F2040.
႑The 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).
႑Use a water trap for installations where air circula-
tion may occur in the condensation water pipe.
႑The 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
Frostfrit
t
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.
7Chapter 2 | Delivery and handlingNIBE™ F2040

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