Setup

6.1 General

These specifications have priority during setup and operation
of the system and must be complied with. The responsibility for
this lies with the specialist system construction company.
The heat pump, especially its refrigeration circuit, must be pro-
tected against damage during installation and other construc-
tion methods.
CAUTION!
Flammable refrigerant R290 (propane): The safety zone must
be stringently observed.
CAUTION!
There must be no ignition sources in the safety zone
CAUTION!
The heat pump is suited for outdoor installation only.
Installation in hollows, shafts or areas with no free outflow or
air exchange is not permitted.
The device is a permanently technically sealed system. In rare
cases, however, leakages may occur on the plate heat ex-
changer due to freezing. The risk is increased in particular in the
event of tampering on the dirt traps, if the requirements for fill-
ing the hydraulic circuit are not complied with, or if the mini-
mum flows are not observed.
CAUTION!
Propane may transfer into the hydraulic circuit. The exhaust
pipe of a safety valve inside buildings must therefore lead
outside.
There should be no sinks, shafts, drains into the sewer system
or permanent ignition sources in the area around the discharge
opening.
Alternatively, other measures may also be taken to minimise the
risk. For example with an indirect system with an additional
plate heat exchanger for hydraulic separation of the primary
and secondary circuit or with a gas separation system with
monitoring via propane gas warning sensors. These measures
must be implemented on-site in accordance with the valid na-
tional or regional regulations, directives and standards.
CAUTION!
The safety measures at the installation site must be
implemented on-site in accordance with the valid national or
regional regulations, directives and standards. The safety
measures should be implemented in cooperation with the
local authorities and/or independent technical test centres.
NOTE
The responsibility for the heat pump setup lies with the
specialist system construction company.
NOTE
Once the heat pump has been commissioned by an
authorised and qualified after-sales service technician, the
responsibility for the intended operation of this heat pump
lies with the operator.

NOTE
Before commissioning, a hazard analysis for the system must
be carried out by the operator.
6.2 General requirements for heat
pump installed outdoors
The heat pump unit must be installed on a permanently even,
smooth and horizontal surface. The entire frame should be in
direct contact with the ground in order to ensure an adequate
soundproof seal, to prevent the water-bearing components
from becoming too cold and to protect the inside of the device
from small animals. If this is not the case, additional insulation
measures may be necessary. To prevent small animals from en-
tering the inside of the device, the connection hole in the base
plate must be sealed, for example. Furthermore, the heat pump
should be installed so that the air outlet direction of the fan is
perpendicular to the main wind direction to allow error-free de-
frosting of the evaporator in high wind exposure.
The heat pump is designed for installation on even ground. For
different conditions (e.g.: installation on a platform, flat roof,
etc.) or where there is a greater risk of the heat pump tipping
over (e.g. due to an exposed position, high wind exposure, etc.),
additional protection against tipping over must be provided on-
site. For installations on a foundation with direct contact to the
building, vibration insulation must be ensured to avoid trans-
mission of solid-borne noise to the building. It must be as-
sessed whether lightning protection is required and, if neces-
sary, implemented. During the installation, the circumstances
at the installation location, such as building regulations, static
load of the building, wind exposure and lightning protection,
must be taken into account.
If the installation is close to walls, it must be noted that there
may be more contamination in the intake and air outlet area due
to the air flow. If the installation is close to walls, the heat pump
must be able to blow out air freely for energy reasons.
To carry out maintenance work, a maintenance area
Fig. 6.1 on page 8 and Fig. 6.2 on page 9, must be kept freely
accessible at the illustrated distances. When installing several
heat pumps, observe the maintenance distances
the individual heat pumps.
