Section 3: Installation considerations
Installation location
The heat pump is for outdoor installation only. The
following should be verified. Further information is
available in the planning manual.
 Planning permission has been applied for where
necessary.
 There is adequate clearance for efficient
performance as shown in Figure 3 and the
discharged air does not recirculate.
 The unit is positioned to minimise the effects of
noise upon the properties occupants and its
neighbours.
 The condensate can easily be drained away.
 Hydraulic connections can easily be made to the
heating system and the DHW cylinder.
 There is no risk of a flammable gas leak or any
outlets vents from any other system.
 The wiring lengths come within reasonable
ranges particularly taking note of the 15m
controller cable.
 The heat pump is adequately fixed to prevent
tipping.
Fixing of the heat pump
The heat pump should be fixed on two flat, horizontal and
solid hard surfaces such as concrete pads that are
capable of taking the unit‟s weight and draining the
condensate. The fixing should be strong enough to
prevent the unit from tipping over if the base becomes
unlevel over time.
