3.0 Installation and Maintenance 3.1 Cautions and Warnings. It is of the highest importance that you read and understand this manual and that the unit is installed in accordance with it. The manual is here to help with installation and to ensure that damage to people or property is avoided. INCORRECT INSTALLATION WILL INVALIDATE ANY GUARANTEE.
Refrigerant Please give full consideration to adequate ventilation being available in the event of a refrigerant leak- this unit must be installed outdoors. Installation Do not install the unit near to a gas installation. Site Anchor the Make sure that the unit is secured a base that is capable of taking Unit the weight of the unit.

down. Make sure that the flow and return pipework from/to the unit have a full flow level valve fitted in-line so that the unit may be isolated from the complete system before draining it down – this avoids the waste of glycol if the whole system were to be drained down.
Page 15
- If you have any questions about the operation and maintenance of the unit that are not addressed in this manual, or if you feel that something in the manual is unclear, please call the seller, distributor or ESP. 15 of 52| Earth Save Products-ASHP PASRW030B-D-PS V 1.8...

3.2 Transit The unit must be kept upright during transit and securely fastened so that it does not rock, slide or fall over. Ensure suitable lifting equipment is available to move the unit around the site and into position, whilst maintaining a vertical position. Using unsuitable lifting gear or equipment to move the unit around can cause significant damage to the unit externally and internally.
Page 17
However, PLEASE NOTE that the unit should be positioned away from strong winds blowing directly on to/through the unit as this can also impair unit performance. The unit must be kept a good distance from other heat sources and any fuel storage.
Page 18
The rubber feet supplied with the unit must be used. Alternatively, there are proprietary unit fixings available that include an adjustable steel frame and legs with rubber mounting pads. Please consult ESP if you have any questions on the use of such fixing methods; failure to comply with these instructions will mean that the unit will not meet certification requirements.

the unit so that the unit can be quickly and effectively drained down where required for maintenance. You must fit a Y-strainer on in-line on the return pipe to the unit. This is normally fitted in an external location and must have a full flow lever valve side either side of the strainer to minimise glycol loss during maintenance.

3.7 Power Supply Connections Before starting to wire in the power supply to the unit, please check that the power supply is suitable for the unit (e.g. single or three phase, correct size cable, MCB etc. is available) having taken into account the requirements of the entire site.

Make sure that the delivery driver notes your concerns on the delivery record. The ESP Classic range of ASHP's is designed and built to give years of trouble-free service and the content of this manual is important to ensuring the maximum life span is achieved and performance delivered with the least difficulty and cost.
. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that the rules of any such Scheme are complied with. ESP offers a planned inspection service and, if required, you should enquire about this by calling us.
COIL TEMPERATURE CUT OUT Should the coil reach too high a temperature, the unit will automatically switch off until the temperature has reduced sufficiently. Please note that the unit may take several minutes to restart. This is normal. COMPRESSOR OUTLET TEMPERATURE CUT-OUT Should the compressor outlet reach too high a temperature, the unit will automatically switch off until the temperature has reduced.

cases, this will be cleared automatically within minutes. If it persists, check the programmer display to see if there is a fault/protection message showing. Refer to the guide in section 5 for basic fault finding and remedial actions. 2. Ensure there is a current ‘heat demand’ from the programmer (that the programmer is in a heating period and that the inside temperature is below the required temperature).

If ever in doubt, or if you are concerned in any way, call your service engineer/plumber and discuss the problems that you are having. If you cannot contact your service engineer/plumber, please call ESP for assistance. 34 of 52| Earth Save Products-ASHP PASRW030B-D-PS V 1.8...
1) General unit maintenance can have a significant impact upon system performance and service life. Ensure regular inspections are carried out over the lifetime of the appliance. ESP offers a planned maintenance service, so please ask us about this, if required.
- The service engineer finds no fault with the unit. - The cause of a breakdown is due to components not supplied by ESP. - The cause of the breakdown is due to incorrectly installed parts within the heating system.
If your own installer/supplier is unavailable, contact ESP. Please be aware that a charge may be made for any visit not covered by the unit guarantee. Before contacting ESP about a problem with the unit, it would help us if you have the following information ready: 1) Appliance serial number, account number or invoice number.
