SAFE INSTALLATION, USE AND SERVICE The proper installation, use and servicing of this commercial heat pump water heater is extremely important to your safety and the safety of others. Many safety-related messages and instructions have been provided in this manual and on your own heat pump water heater to warn you and others of a potential injury hazard.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This heat pump water heater must be grounded in accordance **DO NOT USE THIS UNIT IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER.** with the National Electrical Code and/or local codes. These Immediately call a qualifi ed service agency to inspect the unit must be followed in all cases.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this heat pump water heater. Properly This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, installed and maintained, it should give you years of trouble and maintenance of the heat pump water heater (HPWH). It free service. also contains warnings throughout the manual that you must read and be aware of.
4. In order to expedite your request, please have full model The Blower moves ambient air from the installed space or air and serial number available for the technician. ducted to the HPWH from another location across the fi ns of evaporator coil.
*Water Heated from 50° F to 150° F COP = Coeffi cient Of Performance Standard Voltage on AHP025 & AHP060 models - 208/230 V, 1-phase, 60Hz Standard Voltage on AHP090 - AHP250 models - 208/230 V, 3-phase, 60Hz Other power options are available upon request LOCATION OF THE HEATED WATER CONNECTIONS COULD VARY BY UNIT, SEE MANUFACTURER DOCUMENTS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIT.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AIR TEMPERATURE Read all installation requirements in this manual before installation begins. The installation must conform to these ENTERING AIR TEMPERATURE instructions and all local and national code authority having The return (entering) air temperature range of operation for jurisdiction.
MINIMUM WIRE SIZE Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors Single-phase heat pump water heaters are two wire circuits. Three-phase heaters are three wire circuits. In addition to the foregoing, a grounded conductor is required. Not more than three conductors in raceway, cable, or earth (directly buried), based on ambient temperature of 30°C (86°F) TABLE 3 +The load current rating and the over current protection for these conductors shall not exceed 15 amperes for 14 AWG.

should be installed upstream from the building fi xtures or at the hot water taps to further reduce system water temperature. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply stores. Consult a Qualifi ed Installer or Service Agency. Follow the mixing valve manufacturer’s instructions for installation of the valves.
Before using any solar tank in this application, contact your • When using a forklift to raise the HPWH unit ensure the forks are positioned correctly between the runners on the representative or call the toll free technical support number on the back cover of this manual for further assistance.
INSTALLATION REQUIRED ABILITY SERVICE TOOLS See Qualifications on page 3 regarding regulations and Installation and service of the HPWH unit requires ability certifi cations required under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act equivalent to that of a qualifi ed agency in the fi eld involved. before servicing the refrigeration circuit.
TRANSFORMER CONFIGURATION 208 VAC MODELS See Piping Diagram on page 34. AHP025 & AHP060 Only A T&P valve must be installed in the designated opening on the storage tank per the tank manufacturer’ s requirements.
10. For optimal performance minimize the equivalent length the peak water fl ow rates through the water heating system. See of water piping between the HPWH and storage tank. Piping Diagrams on page 34 for detailed piping diagrams. 11. Building hot water recirculation loop should be connected to the inlet of the backup water heater on two tank preheat confi gurations or to the storage tank on single tank confi gurations.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION DUCT SIZING The HPWH unit is shipped from the factory with a Digital Tank Supply and return air ducting must be sized properly to insure adequate airflow. Table 6 & Table 7 on page 18 provide Thermostat that includes a Temperature Sensor: requirements for the total equivalent supply and return Secure the Temperature Sensor inside a Sensor or Thermal duct lengths allowed.
• All ductwork and plenums shall be field supplied or outdoor atmosphere. In these circumstances do not fabricated. duct supply air to another location for spot cooling. TABLE 6 AHP025 AHP060 AHP090 AHP125 AHP185 AHP250 TABLE 7...
• Ducting supply air only to an alternate location, such as INSTALLATION CHECKLIST the outdoors, may cause excessive negative air pressure inside the building envelope. The list below represents some of the most critical installation • Provision must be made to prevent a negative pressure requirements that, when overlooked, often result in operational in the installed space or building envelope.
12. Ensure the cold water supply is not connected directly 25. Ensure all electrical connections in the HPWH control to or Tee fi tted to the inlet water line on the HPWH. See panel are securely tightened. the Service and Installation Notes for Inlet & Outlet Water 26.
• Turn power on. Check and make sure the power at the FIGURE #1 distribution block is the same as the power requirements on the data sticker that is on the electrical panel. • Put an amp meter on one of the legs for the blower/ fan motor.
INITIAL START-UP phasing of the power to L1, L2 and L3. Since there is a 50/50 chance of connecting power in such a way as to cause rotation CAUTION OIL DILUTION! Bearing malfunction! It is important in the reverse direction, it is important to include notices and to ensure that new compressors are not subjected to liquid instructions in appropriate locations on the equipment to ensure abuse.

The Anti-Short Cycle Delay indicates the time required for the unit to wait before running again. This parameter is set to 0 min because Lochinvar units come equipped with safety timers already in place. Sensor Failure indicates that the temperature sensor has failed.
MASTER SCREENS TEMPERATURE & SETPOINTS MASTER PANEL HOME SCREEN To view and adjust the temperature setpoint, follow these steps. • View the HMI mounted on the electrical panel door. Locate the “High Temp” value on the setup screen. • Touch the box representing the current value. A keypad and cursor will appear.
