Installation; Choose A Suitable Location; Transporting The Heat Pump - Emerald EE-HWS-A1-220 User Manual & Installation Manual

INSTALLATION

All Emerald Energy heat pumps must be installed by a licensed
plumber in compliance with the guidelines specified in AS/NZS
3500.2, which pertains to the "National Plumbing and Drainage Code
for Hot Water Supply Systems - Acceptable Solutions."

CHOOSE A SUITABLE LOCATION

• Ideally, the Heat Pump should be installed outdoors. However,
for indoor installations, please ensure that the chosen location
complies with the requirements outlined in AS/NZS 5149.
• Make sure there is ample space for installation and maintenance,
with a recommended minimum vertical distance of 300mm.
• The product must be installed in a dry environment free from
humidity.
• Ensure that the supporting surface is level (with a horizontal angle
not exceeding 2°) and capable of bearing the weight of the heat
pump when filled with water. Refer to the technical data for the
heat pump's weight.
• Choose a suitable outdoor location for the exhaust air vent, and
be sure to insulate the exhaust air ducting to prevent condensa-
tion when the system is in operation.
• Ensure there is easy access to the system for maintenance pur-
poses.
• Always provide extra space for pipe connections and power
cables.
• Avoid installing the product on a surface with loose coverings,
as it may produce excess noise during operation.
• Avoid installing the product in areas with toxic gases or mineral
oils, as these locations are not suitable.
• When installing near a coastline within 500 meters, be mindful
that extra maintenance may be necessary. Insu cient shelter
from coastal conditions can shorten the system's lifespan and
potentially void the warranty.
If you install the product in an environment prone to frost,
take all necessary precautions to ensure proper insulation
of all pipework.

TRANSPORTING THE HEAT PUMP

• To ensure the warranty remains valid, it's crucial to store and
transport Emerald heat pumps in an almost upright position with
a tilt angle of no more than 30°. Storing or transporting the unit
horizontally will void the warranty.
• Always transport the system while it's inside it's packaging.
• The packaged system weighs 138KG for models EE-HWS-A1-220
and EE-HWS-A1-220E, and 156KG for models EE-HWS-A1-270 and
EE-HWS-A1-270E. For safe handling and to prevent damage, it's
necessary to have two people carry the system at all times.
• Please be aware that the external casing of the unit is prone to
denting and damage. When moving the unit, exercise care and
caution, as any marks caused by improper handling are not
considered defects and are not covered under the warranty.

MINIMUM INDOOR INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
• The indoor area for heat pump installation should exceed the
following sises:
For a 220L unit, the area should be at least 67m .
For a 270L unit, the area should be at least 47m .
For a 320L unit, the area should be at least 29m
• If the heat pump must be installed in a smaller indoor space but is
connected to an adjacent room, there must be a fixed open door
connecting the rooms. A fixed open door cannot be closed under
any circumstances.
• Place heat pumps a safe distance away from potential ignition
sources or corrosive environments to prevent the risk of fire or
damage.
• Consider the serviceability of the heat pump during installation,
ensuring there is enough space for maintenance and repair tasks.
• Follow all relevant electrical and safety standards during.
• Regularly perform maintenance and inspections on both the heat
pump and the ventilation system to ensure safe and e cient
operation.
Always remember installers must diligently adhere to all Australian
standards. Our guidelines should be viewed as supplementary
