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flexible hoses are to be withdrawn from the module and fixed to the two water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 cover of
the storage tank. These are to be withdrawn from behind the front cover and
connected to the control box in the heat pump module during the assembly
procedure.
