To remedy water dripping from the Innova Ephoca HPAC 2.0 unit, ensure the condensate drain system is properly installed. Use an internal wall drain with a PVC pipe (minimum 3/4” inside diameter) and a 45-degree fitting aligned with the condensate hole. Insert at least 4 inches of the rubber drain pipe snugly into the PVC pipe. Check the connection to ensure it is secure and will not come loose. Avoid squeezing the rubber hose during installation.

SID EWALL ADAPTE R (SW A ) Where it’s not feasible or practical to mount the HPAC 2.0 on an exterior wall, HPAC 2.0 can be mounted on a wall perpendicular to the exterior using the SWA. The SWA is recessed into the wall and includes additional fans that assist the supply and exhaust air through the bend.

OCCU PANC Y SEN S OR CONNECT IO N HPAC 2.0 can be connected to an occupancy sensor such as; open window contact, on/off remote, infrared presence sensors, enabling badge, etc. to activate and deactivate the unit. When the contact opens (very low voltage, connected to a free non-live contact) the unit is placed in standby mode and CP displays on the screen (note, CP stand for Contatto Presenza - Contact Present in Italian) Use only double insulated cable.

This is the easiest type of drain where the condensate drips straight outside. NEBULIZER: Innova offers an optional nebulizer kit, which atomizes the condensate in heat mode as a fine mist through an additional exterior hole. Follow appropriate instructions on the following pages depending on your particular type of installation.

HIG H WALL C ONF I G URA T ION HPAC 2.0 can be installed close to the floor or near the ceiling (high wall). The unit is factory configured for floor and high wall installation, where the air flow is directed upwards. This works well for heating and cooling in floor installations and cooling only in high wall installations (coanda effect).
