Pre-Installation Pre-Installation Important Site Instructions The installation, commissioning, inspection, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a qualified person. All electrical wiring must be completed by a licensed electrical contractor in accordance with the appropriate standards. The drilling work requires a permit from your local council. The heating system and heat source must be properly designed and dimensioned to ensure an efficient operation.

Pre-Installation Note: ensure the correct refrigerant gas is used to recharge the unit as an incorrect gas can cause damage beyond repair to the compressor. Do not use oxygen to purge lines or to pressurize a unit for any purpose. Oxygen gas reacts violently with oil, grease and other common substances.
Installation Location and Positioning Installation Location and Positioning The unit must be installed in a protected area that is free from rain and water penetration. The unit must be installed on a solid level surface, preferably on a concrete pad not connected to the main house slab foundation.
Buffer Tank Buffer Tank A buffer tank is recommended to ensure a trouble free heat pump operation. A suitable buffer tank can avoid excessive heat pump cycling (switching on and off). The buffer tank provides a hydraulic separation from the volume flow in the heat pump and heating circuits.

Electrical Connection Outdoor Ambient Temperature Sensor: The outdoor temperature sensor (OT) is a standard part placed inside the electric box. One terminal is connected with the PC board X3 and GND, its probe must be installed outdoors. It should be mounted on a wall that has the mean outdoor temperature which can accurately measure the outdoor temperature and not to be exposed the rain, sun and snow.
Page 25
Electrical Connection Indoor Side Inlet Water Temperature Sensor: The indoor side inlet water sensor (RT) from factory is placed in the submerged pocket of the plate heat exchanger. If a buffer tank is installed, the RT sensor can be moved to the buffer tank temperature sensor inlet pocket and EV01 parameter value can be set to “1”.
Page 26
Electrical Connection Connection Port on Connection Terminal: Outdoor Side Water Pump: Outdoor side water pump is connected to terminal port (1-2). If the water pump current is over 2A, an A/C contactor must be used to activate the water pump.
Electrical Connection Indoor Side Water Pump: Indoor side water pump is connected to terminal port (3-4). If the water pump current is over 2A, an A/C contactor must be used to activate the water pump. Electric Heater: Electric heater is connected to terminal port (10-11). An A/C contactor must be used to activate the electric heater.
Page 28
Electrical Connection Hot Water Pump or Three Way Valve: If the indoor side water pump is for both heating and domestic hot water circulation, set SF10=0, connect a 3 way valve to terminal (7-8-9) If another pump is used for the domestic hot water circuit, set SF10=1, connect the hot water pump to terminal (8-9).
