Installation

6.1

General

The heat pump has been designed for areas that are accessible to the general public, as well as for areas that are not
accessible to the general public.
The following specifications have priority during installation and operation of the system and must be complied with.
!
The specialist company constructing the system is responsible for installation of the heat pump. Observe country-
specific building regulations.
!
Once the heat pump has been commissioned by an authorised and qualified after-sales service engineer, the
operator is responsible for proper operation of this heat pump.
The heat pump, especially the refrigeration circuit, must be protected against damage (e.g. drilling, burning etc.) during
installation and other construction activities.
DANGER
Risk of death due to fire and explosion
If there is a leakage of the propane refrigerant due to a fault, an ignitable atmosphere can form.
▪ Avoid ignition sources and fire loads in the protection zone.
▪ Keep the casing closed.
The heat pump is not an ignition source.
DANGER
Risk of death due to fire and explosion
If there is a leakage of the propane refrigerant due to a fault, an ignitable atmosphere can form, especially in hollows,
shafts or areas with no free air outflow or air exchange.
▪ Installation in hollows, shafts or areas with no free outflow or air exchange is not permitted.
▪ Install the heat pump in such a way that in the event of a leakage no refrigerant can get into the building.
▪ Empty conduits, openings etc. that lead into the building, shafts etc. must be fitted with an air tight seal.
!
NOTICE
The heat pump is not intended for use above 2000 metres (mean sea level).

Requirements for heat pumps installed outdoors

!
Always consider the circumstances at the installation location, such as local building regulations, static load of the
building, wind exposure, lightning protection etc.
Observe the following requirements for outdoor installation of the heat pump:
Installation location and alignment
• Always install the heat pump on a suitable load-bearing foundation.
• The heat pump must be installed raised by 400 mm.
• Air must be able to flow under the heat pump from all directions. Therefore, do not raise up the device by placing
something underneath it that covers its entire surface.
• The heat pump should be installed so that the air outlet direction of the fan is perpendicular to the main wind
direction to allow proper defrosting of the evaporator in the event of high wind exposure.
