● When the equipment is available for commissioning upon installation, call TICA’s hotline to request equipment commissioning service. The equipment is usable only after a commissioning test is done. TICA assumes no liabilities for any losses arising from unauthorized access to the equipment.
CIRCULATING AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP Caution: Failure to observe this Manual may cause fire, losses, personal injury or even be fatal. Warning: The power supply of this equipment must be reliably grounded before use. Within close proximity of the air source heat pump water heater, there must be a well-functioning floor drain.
The TICA air source heat pump water heater can achieve fast automatic defrosting through the unit control system. And the unit operation rate can reach more than 90%.
CIRCULATING AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP temperature decreases. In places where the ambient temperature in winter may be below 10°C, an auxiliary heat source that could provide certain heating capacity shall be equipped to improve the heating capacity of the system and ensure that the system can supply hot water properly and reliably.
CIRCULATING AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP V. Installation Instructions Notes:* Upon receiving the unit, check whether the unit model is correct, accessories complete and the appearances of the unit intact. If you find any damages or you have other problems, please immediately call your salesman. * Before installation, make sure that the unit power is consistent with its electricity meter capacity and power cords.

CIRCULATING AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP Notes: The water level switch can only be used to control the start and stop logic of unit and may not display the actual water level of the water tank. Avoid hitting the water level switch. When the product is dropped from a height of 1.2 m or a higher place, it may be damaged.The installation position of water level switch shall be close to the tank access port for the convenience of overhaul, and shall be away from the water inlet side of water tank to avoid shock from water entrance.
CIRCULATING AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP 13. Electrical connection Notes: The water heater unit shall use the special power supply whose voltage complies with the rated voltage. The power supply circuit of the water heater unit must have a grounding wire, and the power supply ground wire must be reliably connected with the valid external earth wire.
(3) Requirements for power control cabinet During the site installation of TICA air source heat pump water heater, a power control cabinet must be provided for the unit and all electric devices of the system. The power control cabinet needs to provide power supply for all heat pump units and circulating pumps in the system.
