Installation Guide
3.3.1 Recommended location
Caution To avoid condensation problems for the brine lines, as short a brine line as possible is recommended indoors.
The heat pump should be located on a stable floor, preferably made of concrete. When locating the heat pump on a wooden floor this
should be reinforced to take the weight of the heat pump including a filled water heater, see technical data for relevant heat pump. One
solution is to place a thick metal plate, at least 6mm, under the heat pump. The metal plate should cover several joists spreading the
weight of the heat pump over a larger area. If the heat pump is being installed in a newly-built house, this has normally been taken into
account during construction, and the joists where the heat pump will be located have been reinforced. Always check that this has been
carried out when installing into a newly-built house.
Avoid positioning the heat pump in a corner as the surrounding walls may amplify its noise. It is also important to adjust the heat pump
using the adjustable feet so that it is horizontal to the base.
3.3.2 Space requirement
The heat pump must not be enclosed as the temperature inside the cabinet becomes extremely high.
Caution
To facilitate the fitting, installation and subsequent testing and maintenance there must be sufficient free space around the heat pump
in accordance with the following dimensions:
