  • Page 10: Installation Instructions

    Figure1 • The SV Series of heat pumps must be located outside in a clean area where air flow will not be restrictive. The heat pump must be located external to the spa pool cabinet to allow suffcient air flow for optimum efficiency.

  • Page 11: Location Of The Unit

    4.2 Location of the unit Select a suitable location in accordance with below notes and consult the local swimming pool safety regulations to check requirements for proximity to other equipment. Install on wall Install on ground INSTALLATION LOCATION NOTES: 1. The heat pump must be installed on a flat, solid and large enough base to properly secure the heat pump.

  • Page 12: Condensation Drain

    Pipework insulation In order to keep power consumption to a minimum, it is recommended that all external pipe work con- necting the heat pump to the spa pool should be insulated. 4.4 Condensation drain During humid conditions, as part of the heat exchange process the evaporator may produce a lot of condensation.
  • Page 13 4.6 Plumbing Instructions and Diagram The SV heat pump outlets require 40mm PVC pressure pipe to be used. Ideally the heat pump should be plumbed inline prior to the SV controller, so that water flows from the filter pump, through the heat pump and then back through the SV controller before returning to the spa. This provides a second level of safety thermal protection for the water returning to the spa.
  • Page 14 Basic heat pump plumbing with circulation pump SV controller or Isolation valve SV mini heater Isolation valve NOTES: Heat pump powered from SV controller 230V socket OR any 230V power source (requires constant power). Heat pump data cable connected to SV controller port (EXP2). All pipe work should be supported and restrained to prevent movement and stress.

  • Page 16 5m AMP power cable ready for direct connection to a 230V OUTLET socket provided on the SV Series spa controllers (shown below), without the need for an additional power circuit. On SV3 and SV4 models it is recommended to always use the first 230V outlet (located between the Pump2 and Pump3 sockets).
  • Page 17 AMP Sockets & Plugs 4.7.1.1 SV series spa controllers utilise AMP mate-N-lok power connectors. The AMP connectors feature a key pat- tern for fail-safe one-way connection. When connecting the power cable push the plug firmly into the socket and ensure both side locking taps have been secured and latched in place.

  • Page 18: Data Cable Connection

    It is supplied with a preinstalled 5m shielded data cable ready for direct connection to an SV Series spa controller. The data cable connects to a dedicated Heat Pump data socket labelled EXP2 in the low voltage connection area of the spa control.

  • Page 19: Initial Setup

    Initial Setup 1. Once the plumbing to the heat pump has been completed and been given sufficient time for the PVC cement/glue to cure, the pipe work should be bled of any air. With the spa power turned OFF, the valves should be adjusted to provide water flow to the heat pump. Then the top coupling on the heat pump outlet pipe should be slightly loosened to allow the air in the pipe work to escape.

  • Page 20: Controller Setup

    All models of the SV Series spa controllers have the capability to seamlessly integrate and control a SV Series heat pump for efficient heating and cooling of the spa water. When a SV Series heat pump is connected the SV controller will automatically detect the heat pump and take control of its operation.

    6. Safety / Protection Systems SV Heat pumps are equipped with the following safety protection systems: Water flow switch The heat pump is fitted with a flow switch to prevent the heat pump from operating and overheating the water in the heat exchange tank if there is too little or no water flow through the heat pump. The flow switch must close within 30 seconds of the heat pump starting to prevent a “HEAT PUMP FLOW”...

  • Page 29: Winterizing Heat Pump

    7.Winterizing Heat Pump In areas where freezing conditions are brief and mostly an overnight occurrence, the freeze protection of the SV Heat Pump and SV spa control will prevent the exchange tank and pipework from freezing by engaging the filtration pump and circulating water every hour even if sleep timers are set. Freeze protection will override any sleep or power save timers that have been set in the SV spa control.

Close isolating valves (1 & 2) to inlet and outlet pipes of heat pump and fully open bypass valve (3) to close water supply to the heat pump and keep water circulating within the spa (refer above).
  • Page 31 If the whole spa is being shut down for Winter, the spa side cabinet panel should be removed and cou- plings loosened on both the filtration pump and spa controller to completely drain pipe work of water to prevent freezing and ice damage. 7.2 Prepare to Restart Heat Pump after Winter 1.

  • Page 32: Temperature Sensor Calibration

    8. Temperature Sensor Calibration Due to certain conditions, environmental factors and length of data cable, your SV Series Heat Pump may require calibration of the temperature sensors for optimum performance. In particular if you have had to replace or use a longer data cable than the original preinstalled cable it is important to ensure the temperature sensors are calibrated accurately.

Press the DOWN button until display shows “CAL” (calibrate) 3. Press the OK button to enter CAL (calibrate) adjustments => display will show “C.ZER” 4.

  • Page 34: Maintenance

    Maintenance Little maintenance is required however the following should be performed on a regular basic to ensure long equipment service life. When performing maintenance isolate power to spa pool and heat pump for safety. 1. Clean evaporator regularly in order to keep it in good performance. Use a soft brush and water containing a mild detergent or ideally specially made air conditioner cleaner.

  • Page 35: Refrigerant Charging

    9.2 Refrigerant Charging Refrigerant is very stable and should not degrade or break down even under severe operating conditions. It is not necessary to service or charge the heat pump with refrigerant unless there has been a refrigerant leak. If the unit has a leak in the sealed refrigeration system, please locate the leakage and repair before charging with more refrigerant Refrigerant charging must be performed by a qualified person.
