Thoroughly check the unit Master Contactor: Energizes Compressor before operating. and optional Hydronic Pump and/or For A-Coil installations, it is recommended Desuperheater pump package.
Section 3: Installation Considerations Consumer Instructions: Dealer should Thermostat: Thermostats should be installed instruct the consumer in proper operation, approximately 54 inches off the floor on an maintenance, filter replacements, thermostat inside wall in the return air pattern and where and indicator lights.
Section 3: Operation Considerations Guidelines For Heating Mode Operation For Water-To-Water Units Using Scroll Compressors Enertech recommends the aquastat setting not be set above 110°F for the storage tank temperature. Excessive vibration and part failure can occur at higher than recommended temperature settings.
Section 3: Buffer Tanks BUFFER TANKS stage. Requirements for storage are less Virtually all water-to-water heat pumps used according to the manufacturer of the HSS series for hydronic applications require a buffer tank non-pressurized buffer tank. Using the same to prevent equipment short cycling, and to conditions for maximum heating and cooling allow lower flow rates through the water-to- capacity mentioned above, non-pressurized...
