Planning guide Atec Transport, unpacking and positioning Transporting heat pump The heat pump must always be transported and stored standing and in a dry environment. If the heat pump is Caution laid on the incorrect side it may become seriously damaged as the oil in the compressor can run out in the pressure pipe and therefore prevent normal function.

System example System example Atec Total Atec Total includes the control module with supply and return pipe sensors, circulation pump, 3-way valve, electric auxiliary heater and water heater. The heat pump produces heat, cooling and hot water. Production of heating and hot water cannot occur at the same time because the exchange valve for heating and hot water is positioned after the heat pump and the auxiliary heater.

Planning guide Atec 4.3.2 Flexible hoses All pipes should be routed in such a way that vibrations cannot be transmitted from the heat pump through the piping and out into the building. This also applies to the expansion pipe. We recommend that flexible hoses are used for all pipe connections to avoid the transmission of vibrations. Flexible hoses are available to purchase as accessories.
Planning guide Atec Electrical Installation Installation The control centre contains the necessary components for voltage supply, control systems and operation. The control centre must be installed in a frost-free environment. Caution Cable connection Laying electrical wiring can also cause noise so this installation must be carried out appropriately. An appro- priate installation is where there is approximately 300 mm free cable between the heat pump and the build- ing.
Planning guide Atec Positioning outdoor sensors Recommended location Unsuitable location ▪ Position the outdoor sensor on the north or north west side of the house. ▪ For higher buildings, the sensor should be positioned between the second and third storeys. Its location must not be completely protected from the wind but not in a direct draft.
