Transport
ATTENTION!
Never install the device in rooms in which there are any permanent
ignition sources.
ATTENTION!
When transporting the heat pump, ensure that it is not tilted more than
45° (in any direction).
Use a wooden pallet for transporting the heat pump to the final in-
stallation location. The basic device can be transported with a lift
truck, hand truck or by means of 3/4" pipes fed through the holes
in the base plate or frame.
The heat pump and the transport pallet are joined by four transit
bolts. These must be removed.
Before using the transport holes in the frame, it is necessary to
remove the lower side panel assemblies. This is done by loosen-
ing each of the two screws at the base and then withdrawing the
panels by unhooking them from above. Rehang the panels by
gently pushing them in an upwards direction.
Be careful not to damage any components when inserting the
pipes through the frame.
At the installation location, 8 black dust caps, which are included
in the packaging of the device, must be snapped into the trans-
port holes.

5.1 General Information
The heat pump is suited for outdoor installation. The device
should always be installed on a permanently smooth, even and
horizontal surface and must be aligned vertically. The entire
frame should lie directly on the ground to ensure a good sound-
proof seal and to prevent the water-bearing components from be-
coming too cold. If this is not the case, additional insulation
measures may be necessary.
Furthermore, the heat pump should be set up so that the air out-
let direction of the ventilator is perpendicular to the main wind di-
rection to allow unrestricted defrosting of the evaporator.The
heat pump is designed for installation on even ground. If the in-
stallation conditions differ (installation on a platform or flat roof)
or there is a greater risk of the heat pump tipping over (due to an
exposed position or high wind exposure), additional protection
against tipping over must be provided. The responsibility for the
heat pump installation lies with the specialist system construction
company. During the installation, local requirements such as
building regulations, static load of the building, and wind expo-
sure must be accounted for.
It must be possible to carry out maintenance work without hin-
drance. This is ensured if the clearance displayed below is
maintained.
Do not restrict or block the area around the air intake or outlet.
