3.2 Features and safety devices
Easy to operate and environmentally friendly
The heat pump has user interface with easy use menu keys for
programming. The heat pump is also environmentally friendly
as it transfers heat from the surrounding area into the water.
Heating capacity
The unit absorbs ambient energy and releases the heat into the
water stored in the tank. If the ambient temperature is low, the
heating capacity of the heat pump will be reduced, but you can
still rely on the electric element for backup: the electrical
element will automatically turn on below 0 °C to assist the heat
pump module.
Thermal Cut Out (TCOs)
The water heater is equipped with one thermal cut-out (TCO)
located near the heating element. If for any reason the water
temperature becomes excessively high, the thermal cut-out
(TCO) cuts the power circuit to the heating element. Once
activated, the TCO must be reset manually. Resetting of the
temperature limiting control must be done by a qualified
service technician.

Defrosting
During the heating, when the air temperature is between -7 °C
and 10 °C frost may be formed at the evaporator, thus blocking
the air flow and reducing the heat transfer efficiency.
To avoid this occuring, the appliance will automatically defrost
the evaporator by injecting hot refrigerant gas into the
evaporator circuit via a bypass valve. The control of this
functionality relies on the temperature readings of the air and
fins sensors.
The defrost cycles last typically between 5 and 15 minutes and
their frequency depends on the environmental conditions (air
temperature and relative humidity).
During the defrost cycles only the compressor runs. After the
evaporator defrost is concluded the unit returns to normal
operation.
In case the air flow is restraint, for instance due to high wind
intensity at the air outlet, the frequency of defrost cycles might
increase.
Working condition
The appliance is designed to operate with best efficiency when
the air temperature is between -7 °C and +40 °C.
Care should be taken to feed the unit only with potable water
( section 4.8.1). Do not use untreated water from lakes,
rivers or groundwater!
Overheating protection
In case the water temperature near the electrical heating
element reaches 84 4 °C the power to the electrical element
is cut off by a thermostat mounted together with the electrical
heater and will require a manual reset.
Water temperature and pressure protection
The unit is supplied with a PTR valve for your safety (supplied
accessory). If the tank pressure reaches 1000kPa or the
temperature reaches 99 °C, the PTR valve will open
automatically to allow the pressure or temperature to decrease
to safe values.
The warranty can become void if relief valves or other safety
devices are tampered with or if the installation is not in
accordance with the instructions in this manual.
Mains Pressure
This water heater is designed for direct connection to mains
water supply. In case the mains supply pressure exceeds
800kPa, a pressure limiting valve must be installed
(section 4.4.6). A minimum water supply pressure of
200kPa is required to assure the effective operation of this
water heater.

System basic theory
The refrigerant circuit is a closed system in which the
refrigerant R134a circulates as a heat transfer medium.
The evaporator transfers the heat from the air to the refrigerant
circuit, and the refrigerant evaporates into a gas.
The compressor compresses the refrigerant R134a, thus
increasing its temperature.
Then, the heat is transferred via a heat exchanger, also referred
to as a condenser, to the storage water tank. The refrigerant
R134a condenses in the process.
R134a flows through the expansion valve in a liquid state with
decreasing pressure, thus completing the cycle by being
routed back to the evaporator.
Brief overview of the appliance operation
Between 0 °C and 40 °C air temperature the appliance only
uses the economical heat pump cycle.
However, it is possible to manually turn on the electrical heater
together with the heat pump when the air is above 0 °C (One
shot boost). Once the set point is reached the boost is
automatically switched off.
Between -7 °C and 0 °C the appliance automatically switches
on the electrical heater together with heat pump cycle.
When the appliance has conditions to activate both electric and
compressor "FULL" is displayed at the HMI, alternating with the
top tank temperature.
When compressor and electrical heater are operating together,
the upper part of the tank will rise much faster than the lower
part, thus boosting the recovering time for the next hot water
load. Hence, with "FULL" active, if the top temperature gets
near the set point and the bottom is still rather at low
temperature, the appliance, will automatically switch off the
electrical heater and continues the heating with the heat pump
cycle only but "FULL" will remain being displayed.
After the electrical heater is switched off, it is normal that the
top temperature start to decrease slowly. Therefore, while
rising the bottom temperature by only using the heat pump
cycle and until the top temperature start to increase to set
point, the electrical heater will b e sw itc hed on as m any tim es as
required to keep the top near the set point.
Outside the air ambient range temperature, the unit operates
by only using the electrical heater.

energy-saving devices may shorten the life of the water heater
and may endanger life and cause property damage.
The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for such loss or
injury resulting from the use of such unauthorized devices.
4.1 Tools required
• Wrenchs ¾ ", 10mm and 13mm.
• Philips screwdriver
4.2 Location requirements
Locate the water heater in a clean area as near as possible to
the area of biggest hot water demand. Long uninsulated hot
water lines can waste energy and water.
Note: Because this unit draws in ambient air to heat the water,
wh en us ing the u nit indoo rs, t he roo m must be at l east 3m x 3m
x 2,5m (22,5 m
3
) or larger, and preferably vented. If the room
is smaller, there must be a louvered door with minimum
500cm

venting area.
Place the water heater in such a way that clearance for proper
servicing is considered (section 3.7), namely for top cover
removal, PTR valve access and anode rod removal and
installation.
Remember you may need to remove the entire unit later for
servicing.
The water heater and water lines should be protected from
freezing temperatures and highly corrosive atmospheres.

NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan MUST conform to local codes. Catch
Pan Kits are available from the store where the water heater
was purchased, a builder store or any water heater distributor.
Recommendation
Even if this unit runs at very low noise levels, it is advisable to
install it away from any living area windows.
▶ Check council laws for specific localized rules in relation to
location requirements for this appliance.
Outdoor installation
This unit was designed both for outdoor and indoor installation.
Proper clearances must be observed.
Local installation regulations
The installation must comply with the requirements of AS/NZS
3500.4 and AS/NZS 3000 standards and all additional local
codes and regulatory authority requirements.
CAUTION:
The water heater should not be located in an
area where leakage of the tank or connection
will result in damage to the area adjacent to
it or to lower floors of the structure. In places
where installation in such areas cannot be
avoided, it is recommended that a suitable
catch pan, adequately drained, be installed
under the water heater (Fig. 8).
WARNING:
This water heater SHOULD NOT be installed
in an area with a corrosive atmosphere
where chemicals or flammable liquids are
stored or where aerosol propellants are
released. When using outdoors, because of
natural air movement in a room or other
enclosed space, these corrosive/flammable
vapours can be carried from where they are
being used or stored. Any electric arc drawn
within the water heater's electronic controls
can ignite these vapours causing an
explosion or fire, which may result in severe
burns or death to those in range, as well as
property damage.

16 | Installation instructions
In New Zealand, the installation must comply with Clause G12
of the New Zealand Building Code.
All packaging materials must be removed from the water heater
prior to its installation.
Required clearances
There must be a 60 cm vertical clearance, a 40 cm minimum
clearance in front of the inlet/outlet grilles and 5 cm clearance
from the back of the appliance (where the drain is) to any
object ( Fig. 7). This will ensure a proper air flow through the
appliance and facilitate the service any time is needed.
Appliance orientation
In case of possible direct exposure to strong wind:
▶ Face the air outlet to the most protected area.
The direct incidence of strong wind in the outlet grille during
long periods may affect the performance of the heat pump
increasing the heating times and the frequency of defrost
cycles. The use of the noise reduction mode is not
recommended in case of moderate or strong wind.
Condensation drain
The unit has a condensate drain, therefore a drain must be
available in close proximity to the unit. The drain must be no
higher than 90 cm above the ground. Discharge point must
comply with AS/NZS 3500.4.
If no drain is available, then a common condensate pump with
a capacity no less than 4 liters/day must be purchased from a
local builder and supply store and installed.
4.3 Secure the appliance
▶ Adjust the height of the adjustable feet to correctly align
the appliance at the installation location.
4.4 Water piping
4.4.1 Inlet - Outlet connections
Installation of the water inlet or outlet pipes: The water inlet and
outlet thread are ¾ BSP (internal thread). Pipes must be heatresistant, durable, and UV resistant (when doing outdoor
installation).
Installation of the pipe for PTR valve: The specification of the
valve connecting thread is ½ BSP (internal thread).
All pipe work should be insulated with proper insulating
material (weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed) to
optimize energy efficiency. Water piping sizing should be
performed in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.4.
Fig. 9 Typical installation
To ensure faultless operation, the unit must
be installed vertically, with a tilt no more than
1°, preferable in the direction of the
condensate drain in order to favor the
condensates drainage.
WARNING: Damage to external tank casing!
▶ Do not tilt more than 20° without
packaging.
WARNING:
All plumbing work must be carried out by a
qualified professional and in accordance
with the Plumbing Standard AS/NZS
3500.4 and local authority requirements.
WARNING:
Care should be taken not to touch the pipe
work as it may be hot.
CAUTION:
The temperature and pressure-relive valve
must be installed according to local code.
Not doing so will cause damage to the
appliance and damage to other property.
