4.11 Installation of condensate drip tray (BRCA)
In heating and domestic hot water mode, the unit can produce a quantity of condensate, depending upon the am-
bient conditions and the working hours. This condensate may freeze in severe ambient conditions. The unit must
therefore be installed in such a way as to prevent a slipping hazard to the user or third parties due to the presence
of ice around the heat pump.
Installing the condensate drip tray on site may be difficult. We recommend that you request the BRCA accessory
when ordering the unit so that it can be installed at the factory.
In all the units can be installed a drip tray that, positioned underneath the source heat exchanger (finned coil) and above the base frame,
recovers all water generated by the unit when in heating and domestic hot water working mode. The drip tray is supplied with a self-heating
antifreeze kit that melts the any ice present in the drip tray. The drip tray is supplied with a discharge connection that must be connected
to a discharge pipe.

4.11.1 Installation of the heating cable
It is recommended that a heating cable be installed in the condensate drip tray discharge pipe to prevent freezing
of the water inside the pipe itself, as this can lead to a malfunction of the unit.
The heating cable that is to be inserted in the discharge pipe must have a protection degree IP67 with a specific
heating capacity of a minimum of 35W per linear metre. It is also recommended that the discharge pipe be insula-
ted with closed cell type insulation having a minimum thickness of 15 mm.
