3.5 Drainage

Whilst the heater is operating, water in the air condenses on the ns of the evaporator. In the

instance of high humidity, the condensate may be several litres per hour. This may give the

impression that the heater is leaking, however this is a normal function of heat pumps. The

heater will automatically activate reverse cycle or de-icing mode when required which also

increases condensate discharge. This normally occurs at temperatures below 8 degC. The

condensate water will discharge through the base of the heater. As an option a pipe can be

connected to the drain on the base of the unit to direct condensate water to an appropriate

location.

3.6 Electrical Connection

NOTE: EVO heat pumps MUST be connected by a licensed electrician. Under no

circumstances should you attempt to install or repair your heat pump yourself.

Heater electrical installation undertaken by an unlicensed installer may cause electric shock

or even death, and will void the warranty.

A licensed electrician must read the information in this manual before connecting.

a. Ensure power is disconnected during installation or service.

b. Always comply with the national and local electrical codes and standards.

c. Ensure electrical cable size is adequate for heater requirements at the installation

location.

d. The heater must be equipped with a circuit breaker and isolation device.

e. circuit breaker must be installed between the heater and the water circulation pump if

the water pump is hard-wired into the heater. Please note recommended circuit breaker

sizes make no allowance for a water pump hard wired into the heater.

f. Evo strongly recommends the installation of a Residual Current Device.

g. The unit must be well earthed.

h. Connect the wire controller with the supplied cable. If a longer cable is required it can

be lengthened to suit the application up to a maximum 100m run.

Remove the front panel to access the electrical connection terminals of the heater.

The electrical wiring diagram is afxed to the inside of the front panel.
