∙ Comply with the distances above to obtain the correct air
fl ow and facilitate maintenance operations.
∙ Make sure that the available space is suffi cient for the
installation of the water system piping.
∙ If the heat pump is installed in an area subject to heavy
snow fall, ensure that snow does not build up around
the appliance to maintain the distances given above.
Otherwise, install a backup heat generator in the
building’s heating system.
4.1.3 Appliance location
∙ Observe current regulations.
∙ Install the appliance outside.
∙ Do not install the appliance:
- near a heat source,
- near fl ammable materials,
- near the ventilation points of adjacent buildings
- beneath deciduous trees.
∙ Take into account the following when installing the heat
pump:
- prevailing winds,
- the noise generated by the fan and the compressor
- the visual impact on the surrounding neighbourhood.
∙ Avoid areas exposed to strong winds directed against the
appliance’s air outlet.
∙ Do not install the fan facing nearby windows. If necessary,
install a noise barrier.
∙ Set the appliance on one of the following supports:
- concrete slabs,
- crane beam,
- concrete blocks.
∙ Do not expose the heat pump to corrosive or dusty
atmospheres (near to dirt roads, for example).
∙ Do not place near to stale air extraction fans.
∙ Provide passages for electrical cables (very low and low
voltage).
4.1.3.1 Properties of the mounting surface
∙ Before choosing the position of the device, carefully read
the warnings relating to safety and the instructions in the
installation and user manuals.
∙ Place the appliance on a beam or concrete blocks or on the
wall supports sold separately.
∙ Ensure that the appliance is protected from water and from
snow.
4.1.3.2 Condensate drain
a Danger!
Risk of injury due to freezing of condensates.
Condensates freezing in a passageway can cause
slips.
•
Ensure that the drain system presents no risk
of condensates freezing on a passageway.
The condensates fl ow from the central drain located in the
bottom of the heat pump.
>100mm
∙ Provide a condensate drain either into a bed of pebbles or
connected to a drain with installation of a siphon.
