    Repair and service of heat pump must be performed by an authorized service center. Warranties may be voided if the equipment has been improperly installed, maintained or serviced. If service is deemed necessary, please contact AquaCal. SAFETY SIGNALS Throughout this document, safety signals have been placed where particular attention is required.
  • Page 6 In sizing power wiring, be especially aware of up-sizing requirements necessary due to wiring distances. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards. AquaCal AutoPilot, Inc. heat pumps are designed to use copper conductors, only. Do not use aluminum wire. Page - 2...
  • Page 7 If multiple heat pumps are on-site, confirm that the multiple heat pump configuration has been utilized. This will prevent multiple heat pumps attempting to start at the same time, causing an excessive power drop at start-up. Multiple heat pumps installed at the same site may benefit from automatic sequencing controllers (ASC) to avoid excessive power draws at start-up.
