Transport and storage
AMS 10 must be transported and stored vertically.
NOTE
Ensure that the heat pump cannot fall over
during transport.
Assembly
■
Place AMS 10 outdoors on a solid level base that can
take the weight, preferably a concrete foundation. If
concrete slabs are used they must rest on asphalt or
shingle.
■
The concrete foundation or slabs must be positioned
so that the lower edge of the evaporator is at the level
of the average local snow depth; however, a minimum
of 300 mm. See our stands and brackets on page 36.
■
AMS 10 should not be positioned next to noise sensit-
ive walls, for example, next to a bedroom.
■
Also ensure that the placement does not inconveni-
ence the neighbours.
■
AMS 10 must not be placed so that recirculation of the
outdoor air can occur. This causes lower output and
impaired efficiency.
■
The evaporator should be sheltered from direct wind,
which negatively affects the defrosting function. Place
AMS 10 protected from wind against the evaporator.
■
Large amounts of condensation water, as well as melt
water from defrosting, can be produced. Condensation
water must be led off to a drain or similar (see page9).
■
Care must be exercised so that the heat pump is not
scratched during installation.
Do not place AMS 10 directly on the lawn or other non
solid surface.
If there is a risk of snow slip from roof, a protective roof
or cover must be erected to protect the heat pump, pipes
and wiring.
