2. LOCATION
2.1 Location and Space Requirement
•The air source heat pump must be installed outdoors. It cannot be installed indoors.
•Never install the unit in a closed room with a limited air volume in which the air expelled fromthe
unit will be reused, or close to garden plants that could block the air inlet. Such locationsimpair the
continuous supply of fresh air, resulting in reduced efficiency, performance andpossibly preventing
sufficient heat output.
•During normal operations, the heat pump evaporator fins produce condensation water. The
amount of condensation producedvaries according to ambient conditions.The higher the air
humidity, the higher the amount of condensation produced (several liters per day). The lowerheat
pump panel acts as a condensation collection tray. Keep the drain hole clean.
•The heat pump must be positioned to avoid damages caused by water or condensation leaks.
Install suitable drainage outlets or collection containers.
•The heat pump must be fixed and installed on a flat, solid, vibration free and level support
(cement slab or prefabricated platform). Do not install the heat pump on unstable ground.
•To reduce noise wave echoes, do not install the heat pump in the immediate vicinity of vertical
walls and use the included anti-vibration pads during installation.
•Make sure the pump is not subject to rain water flows from nearby building roofs. Protrudingroofs
without gutters could pour significant amounts of water and/or debris on the heat pumpwhich could
damage it. If necessary, install gutters or discharge outlets to protect the heatpump.
•Make sure the heat pump is not within the range of any sprinkler or irrigation systems. If
necessary, install suitable protections.

2.2 How to remove the front cover

2.3 Condensation Draining Hose Installation
NOTE: The air drawn into the heat pump is strongly cooled by the operation of the heat pump for
heating the pool water, which may cause condensation on the evaporator fins. The amount ofcondensation
may beas much as several litres per hour at high relative humidity.This issometimes mistakenly regarded
as a water leak.
1. Slightly tilt the unit to reveal the bottom panel.
2. Attach the drain hose connector (9) to the bottom panel.
3. Attach the wider end of the drain hose (10) to the hose connector and place the other end into a
suitable discharge area.
2.4 Water Connection
The following retail components (not included) are recommended for the hydraulic connections:
•Cut-o f valves upstream and downstream from the heat pump to facilitate maintenance and/orheat
pump bypass from the pool water circulation system.
•A non-return or check valve, installed between the pool and the heat pump outlet fitting, to
prevent water reflux.
All chemical feeder or water treatment devices must be installed downstream from the heat pumpand
non-return (check) valve. It is important to installa check valve to preventchemical saturatedwater reflux
which could damage the heat pump and void the warranty.
The water circulation system must be arranged observing the following general layout:
Pool Pump Filter Heat Pump Non-return/Check Valve Chemical
Treatment Pool

2.9Connecting the By-pass Kit
Valve 1:
Slightly closed
(Water pressure increase with just 100 to
200gr)
Valve 2:
Completely open
Valve 3:
Half way open
NOTE: Operation without a bypass or with improper bypass adjustment may result in sub-optimalheat
pump operation and possibly damage to the heat pump, which renders the warranty null and void.
2.10 Typical in-ground pool arrangement
Warning:
Although the heat pump is electrically isolated from the rest of the swimming pool system,
this only prevents the flow of electrical current to or from the water in the pool. Grounding the
heat pump is required for protection against short-circuits inside the unit. Always provide a
good grounding connection outlet. If not sure, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.

−The electrical wiring must be carried out in compliance with local regulations.
The electrical wiring must be done with the unit with local regulations.
−Wiring must be securely fastened.
−Do not let the wiring touch together.
−Make sure that the main power supply complies with the name plate on the unit.
−Make sure that the power, wiring and power socket comply with the power of
the appliance.
−To connect the appliance to the power supply, proceed as the wiring diagram of
the unit.
Cable Wiring:
1.Open the wiring block box
(marked white) on the side of
the machine.
2.Fix the other side on joints
insidetheelectricboxfollow'L",
'N", 'Earth" symbols.
Water Pump Wiring:
1.Open the wiring block box
(marked white) on the side of
the machine.
2.Fix the other side on joints
inside the electric box follow
1",“2" symbols (Max 200W for
thisdry contact if it is connected
towater pump directly).

2.12 Before Starting
Make sure the pool is filled with water to the correct level, the skimmer and suction fittings arebelow the
water level.
To heat the pool water, the filter pump must be running to cause the water to circulate through theheat
pump. The heat pump will not start up if the water is not circulating, therefore the heat pumpmust
operate together with the filter pump.
After all the water connections have been attached and checked, carry out the following procedure:
1. Switch on the filter pump. Check for leaks and verify that water isflowing from andto the
swimming pool.
2. Press the On /O ff button on the control unit panel to activate it, the display shows the water
inlet and outlet temperatures.The unit will start up after the time delay expires (see "TimeDelay"
section).
3. After a few minutes, check whether the air blowing out of the heat pump fan is cooler.
4. When the filter pump is turned of f , the heat pump should also turn o f automatically, if not, then
adjust the flow switch (performed by specialist technician only).
5. Allow the heat pump and the filter pump to run 24 hours a day until the desired water
temperature is reached.The heat pump will stop running at this point. After this, it willrestart
automatically (as long as the filter pump is running) whenever the swimming pool water
temperature drops 2 degrees below the set temperature.
6. To set the water temperature and program the heat pump, see "Display Control Panel
Operation" section for details.
Depending on the initial temperature of the pool water and the ambient air temperature, it may take
several days to heat the pool water to the desired temperature. A goodsolar poolcover canreduce the
heating time.
Time Delay
The heat pump has a built-in I to 2-minute start-up delay to protect the control circuit
components and avoid excessive restart cycles. The unit will restart automatically after
this time delay expires. Even a brief power interruption will trigger this time delay and
prevent the unit from restarting
immediately. Additional power interruptions during this delay period do not affect the I
to 2-minute duration of the delay.
Water Flow Switch
The heat pump is equipped with a flow switch to protect it from running without adequate waterflow rate.
It will turn on when the pump runs and shut it o ff when the pump shuts o ff . If the poolwater level is higher
than 1m above or below the heat pump's automatic flow switch adjustmentknob, your specialist
technician may need to adjust the initial start-up water flow rate.
