Unit installation place must be free from foliage, dust, etc., which could clog or cover the coil. Installation in areas subject to water stagnation or fall, for example from gutters, should be avoided. Also, avoid areas subject to snow accumulation (such as corners of buildings with sloping roofs).
In the event of winds stronger than 2.2 m/s the use of wind barriers is recommended. To reduce vibrations and noise, we recommend the use of rubber dampers for wall installation. 2.5 DIMENSIONS SHIMANTO 6kW - 8kW IN/OUT: 1”M G E: power supply input...

2.6.3 SHIMANTO 14kW - 16kW - 18kW 1. Remove the cover by undoing the screws (number 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9). 2. Undo the screws (number 10; 11) of the front sheet and then push the panel downwards to remove the tabs (Detail A);...
All of the units leave the company supplied with flow switch (installed in factory). If the flow switch is altered or removed or if the water filter or the defangator are missing from the unit, the guarantee will be void. Refer to the wiring diagram attached to the unit to connect the flow switch.
2.7.3 Handbook If you need more information about the possible configurations, there is a handbook which is a technical notebook including a series of system diagrams that have been highlighted regarding the installation configuration of our high efficiency heat pumps. The Handbook is also intended to show the symbiosis potential with some of our elements found in the catalogue.
2.7.6 Drain the system If the unit needs to be drained completely, first close the manual inlet and outlet gate valves (not included in supply) and then detach the pipes on the outside of the water inlet and outlet to drain liquid from the unit (to make this operation easier, it is recommended to install two drain valves between the unit and manual gate valves on the outside of the water inlet and outlet).
2.9 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Check that the power supply matches the unit’s electric nominal data (voltage, phases, frequency) displayed on the rating plate on the unit’s side panel. The electric power connections must be made in accordance to the wiring diagram enclosed with the unit and in conformity with national and international standards (providing general circuit breaker, residual current devices for each line, proper earthing of the plant, etc.).
The above-mentioned operations must be carried out with the machine off and power disconnected (by means of the specific disconnector applied by the installer). Operations carried out by qualified personnel. Remove the cover without removing the support plate of the cable glands. When the work is finished, close all of the removed covers applying the screws and gaskets (if included).

6.3 OPERATING LIMITS 6.3.1 Evaporator water flow rate The nominal water flow rate refers to a 5°C temperature difference between the evaporator inlet and outlet. The maximum permitted flow rate features a 3°C temperature difference while the minimum one has an 8°C temperature difference at the nominal conditions as shown in the technical sheet.
6.3.3 Hot water production (winter mode) When the system has reached steady state, the water inlet temperature must not drop below 25°C: lower values, not due to transient phases or reaching steady-state, can cause system failures and could possibly break the compressor. The maximum outlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C.
