  • Page 12 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS For optimum performance and to avoid malfunctions or dangerous situations, the location of the unit must meet the following criteria: • Maintain the minimum clearances as indicated in the diagram on the right. • On the bracket the two screws on the right and left edges as well as at least four screws in the middle must be secured to the wall.
  • Page 13 REQUIRED CLEARANCE The only clearance the HPAC 2.0 requires is 3.5” on the top of the unit to the ceiling so that the air can be returned to the unit through the grille on the top. We highly recommend as close to 8” as possible from the top of the unit to the ceiling for ease of changing the filter and accessing the unit.
  • Page 14 SIDE WALL KIT When it’s not possible to mount the unit directly on an exterior wall, you can mount the unit perpendicular to an exterior wall using our optional side wall kit. This kit, which gets installed inside the wall includes additional fans which assist the air through the additional bend. The kit is available in a right side or left side application.
  • Page 15 OCCUPANCY SENSOR CONNECTION HPAC 2.0 can be connected to an occupancy sensor such as; open window contact, on/o 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.
  • Page 16 PREPARATION Once the location for the unit has been determined following all the requirements follow these steps: STEP 1 Attach the mounting template to the wall with tape. Ensure that the bracket will be 100% perfectly level. STEP 2 Drill the holes for approved vents in accordance with the specifi cations of the grille style you are using. Make sure 1/8”...

  • Page 18 CONDENSATE DRAIN OPTIONS HPAC 2.0 is equipped with a pump and spray head which sprays the collected condensate on to the heat exchanger coil in cooling mode. This evaporates the condensate, eliminating the need for a condensate drain. In heating mode, or if used to cool in low ambient temperatures (below 73.5°F) this procedure is not feasible and therefore a condensate drain is required.
  • Page 19 Wrap the portion of rubber drain pipe located inside the room with % inside diameter anti- condensation insulating material. STEP 4 Properly seal the pipe penetration using best practices based on the application and materials. HPAC 2.0 External vents Exterior drain hole Anti-condensation insulating material...
  • Page 20 HIGH WALL CONFIGURATION 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 e ect).

  • Page 22 MOUNTING THE UNIT After checking that the bracket is securely anchored to the wall and that all necessary electrical connections and condensate drain preparations are completed, you can mount the unit on the wall. STEP 1 Lift the unit by the sides of the bottom base until it clips onto the two prongs of the bracket. In order to ease the operation, slightly tilt the unit towards you.
  • Page 23 REMOVING THE COMPRESSOR LOCK To prevent the compressor and the pipes from moving during transportation and installation, a bracket is used to lock the compressor. This bracket must be removed before starting up the compressor. Under the unit, on the right side, by the red label, there are two wing nuts that must be completely unscrewed, and removed to free the compressor.
  • Page 24 LCDI POWER CORD CONNECTION HPAC 2.0 is equipped with a power cord and LCDI (Leakage Current Detection Interrupter) power cord. If using a power socket near the unit, simply insert the plug. Before connecting the unit check that: • The power supply voltage and frequency values comply with the data plate of the appliance.
  • Page 25 HARDWIRED CONNECTION HPAC 2.0 can be hardwired to the correctly sized circuit breaker. When doing so make sure to check local codes. Mount a junction box behind the unit as indicated on the template. A junction box provides a protected enclosure for electrical connections (required by some electrical codes) Follow national or local codes regarding flush, surface or recessed mounting of boxes.
