Installation; Siting - Calorex AW631 Owners & Installation Manual

1.

SITING

a Ensure heat pump on site is as ordered, i.e. model, electrical supply and factory fitted options.
b Inspect unit for damage, in particular inspect the evaporator (finned side) to ensure that it is undamaged.
(Minor indentations in the fins do not affect performance). If severely damaged, endorse delivery note in
presence of the driver and send a recorded delivery letter to transport company giving details.
c Protect unit if installation is delayed.
d Provide a firm level base capable of supporting operational weight of unit; spread load if mounted on timber
floor.
e Ensure water cannot collect under unit, it is recommend that units are installed on plinths 100mm above
finished floor level. This also aids condensate drainage.
f Allow adequate clearance to service panels on unit; recommend 500mm minimum.
g All Calorex heat pumps are by design as quiet as is practical, however due consideration should be given
to siting the heat pump in order to minimise the noise coming from the machine, for example by positioning
the machine so that the inlet/outlets are parallel to occupied premises.
h Ensure loose debris such as leaves, grass cuttings, etc will not block air inlet grilles.
i Consider protection from extreme weather conditions if installed externally, i.e. lean-to-cover or building.
