INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION STANDARDS
The water heater must be installed:
by a qualified person, and
in accordance with the installation instructions, and
in compliance with Standards AS/NZS 3500.4, AS/NZS 3000 and all local
codes and regulatory authority requirements.
In New Zealand, the installation must also conform with Clause G12 of the New
Zealand Building Code.
WATER HEATER APPLICATION
This water heater is designed for use in a single family domestic dwelling for
the purpose of heating potable water. Its use in an application other than this
may shorten its life.
If this water heater is to be used where an uninterrupted hot water supply is
necessary for the application or business, then there should be redundancy
within the hot water system design. This should ensure the continuity of hot
water supply in the event that this water heater was to become inoperable for
any reason. We recommend you provide advice to the system owner about
their needs and building backup redundancy into the hot water supply system.
This water heater is recommended for connection to a minimum 16 hour per
day power supply.
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. Refer to “Heat Pump and Tank Assembly” on page 9.
Take care when handling the heat pump module. The jacket of the heat pump
module needs to be handled gently so as not to cause damage.
