Heat Pump And Tank Assembly - Rheem MPi 554 Series Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

HEAT PUMP AND TANK ASSEMBLY

STORAGE TANK AND HEAT PUMP MODULE
The heat pump water heater is made of two main components, the storage tank and the heat pump module.
For transport and handling (weight) purposes both items are shipped separately and designed to be
assembled at the installation site. The water heater must not be operated until both components are
assembled.
The heat pump storage tank and module must be installed on a level slab or solid base of a minimum
900 mm wide x 650 mm deep. The heat pump module must be fully supported by the level slab or solid
base.
HEAT PUMP MODULE
The heat pump module is shipped in a box containing two hand holes to facilitate easy handling and lifting.
The heat pump module is to be mounted against the side of the storage tank and must be fully supported by
the level slab or solid base.
CAUTION: The heat pump module weighs approximately 42 kg. Use the hand holes provided in the sides of
the packaging. Good lifting practice should be followed.
There are two flexible hoses provided inside the heat pump module. The flexible hoses are to be withdrawn
from the module and fixed to the two water fittings on the heat pump storage tank during the assembly
procedure.
There are two connection points located on the underside of the control box in the heat pump module to
which the power cable and tank sensor cable from the heat pump storage tank are connected during the
assembly procedure.
STORAGE TANK
The heat pump storage tank and module must be installed on a level slab or solid base of a minimum
900 mm wide x 650 mm deep. The storage tank is designed to receive the heat pump module.
There are two water fittings located at the side of the storage tank to which flexible hoses from the heat
pump module are connected during the assembly procedure.
A power cable and a tank sensor cable are provided behind the lower front cover of the storage tank. These
are to be withdrawn from behind the lower front cover and connected to the control box in the heat pump
module during the assembly procedure.
