If service is deemed necessary, please see "Contacting AquaCal AutoPilot, Inc. " on page 1. SAFETY SIGNALS Throughout this document, safety signals have been placed where particular attention is required. Failure to heed the following will result in injury or death. I,AWARNING I Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death. Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment. When installing and using your heat pump basic safety precautions must always be followed, including the following: Failure to heed the following will result in injury or death. The heat pump utilizes high voltage and rotating equipment. Use caution when servicing. Page - 1 .2 Clearances ----- ---- . Proper air circulation is required for the heat pump to operate efficiently. The following diagrams show the minimum clearances required for the proper operation of the heat pump. . Avoid storing chemical containers near the heat pump. The, chemicals can cause equipment damage. • Avoid placing objects near or on top of the heat pump. This includes shrubbery and lawn furniture.

A glued -in -place union will prevent the equipment from being properly winterized. • The heat pump must receive water flow within the specified minimum ranges under worst -case conditions such as a fouled water filter. • Failure to provide clean filtered water to the heat pump can void product warranty. • Water flow exceeding maximum flow rates will negatively affect the total pool filtration performance and may damage the heat pump. This will not be covered under equipment warranty. See "Water Flow Rates" on page 11. Install a bypass valve whenever water -flow may exceed maximum rating. See "Bypass Valve Kit (# STK0135)" on page 70. • For additional guidance testing water flow rates, please contact AquaCal'. A safety enhancing "Over Temperature Alarm" kit is strongly recommended for all spa applications. See "Over Temperature Alarm Kit" on page 71. 1.4 b Plumbing Diagrams Plumbing diagrams are provided in this section as a planning guide to the sequence of equipment, valves, and fittings. • The basic plumbing configurations for typical installations are shown. • If the installation does not closely follow any of the supplied plumbing diagrams, AquaCal' Technical Support is available for installation advice and guidance. • Confirm water provided to heat pump is clean and filtered.

Internal safety devices may deactivate the heat pump with the following errors: HIGH PRESSURE FAULT HP5 SYSTEM LOCKOUT • LOW PRESSURE FAULT • LP5 SYSTEM LOCKOUT Operate water filtration devices per manufacturer's specifications. Dirty filters can cause a reduction of water flow to the heat pump. An increase of 7-10 psi higher than the clean filter pressure typically reduces flow rates. This requires the filter to be cleaned or back -washed. . Keep baskets free of debris. A large quantity of debris in the pump and skimmer baskets can reduce water flow. Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full -open bypass around the heat pump, will cause insufficient water flow through the heat pump. The maximum static pressure (or operating pressure) is 50 pounds -per -square -inch (PSI). These specifications relate to the heat pump only. . Code -specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied. Page - 12 JAI Adjusting Water Flow Using AT (Delta-T) The Delta-T is the temperature difference between the water temperatures entering and leaving the heat pump. The equipment can be fine-tuned for maximum performance by balancing water flow rates to maintain an ideal AT. The adjustment procedure must be completed with the unit in heating mode. . Installed temperature ports are required to perform the following procedures. . These ports are typically located on the pool in and pool out water lines approximately six inches away from the heat pump. PLEASE NOTE - . The installation of temperature ports are required for all commercial applications. • The installation of temperature ports are strongly recommended for residential installations. ■ See "Temperature Port Kit (# STK0096)" on page 72. 1. Adjust thermostat to its lowest setting with unit in heating mode. 2. Deactivate the water filtration pump. 3. Confirm that the filters leading to the heat pump are clean. 4. Adjust the valves controlling water headed towards the heat pump to the half open position. 5. Adjust the valves controlling water leading away from the heat pump to a fully open position. 6. Activate the pool water filtration pump. 7. Slowly raise the thermostat temperature until the heat pump activates. Temperature Port After a four -minute delay, the heat pump's compressor will start. 8. With the heat pump running, confirm the filtration pump is operating properly with adequate flow and no short cycling. 9. Wait for water temperatures to stabilize (approximately 5 minutes). 12. Adjust valves in the following order using the temperature chart provided. a. Adjust the valve that controls water exiting the heat pump until the correct temperature differential is achieved. Match the temperature measured with a temperature probe to the chart. b. Wait for water temperatures to stabilize. Then check temperature again. Re -adjust the valve as needed. 13. Mark valves at these positions for future reference.

See "Contacting AquaCal AutoPilot, Inc." on page 1. 1.4.g Maintaining Ability to Winterize Do not glue the threaded portion of the unions. The unions are used to decouple the heat pump from the plumbing system during hard freeze conditions. Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment. • Do not use glue on the threaded portion of the equipment's unions. A glued -in -place union will prevent the heat pump from being properly winterized. 1.4.h Adjusting Water Pressure Switch Adjust water pressure switch when heat pump attempts to operate without water flow. Before attempting any adjustments confirm the following: The filter is clean. . Filter pump is operating. • The valves are set to direct the appropriate amount of water through the heat pump. See "Water Flow Rates" on page 11. • "NO POOL/SPA WATER FLOW" is displayed (or displays intermittently). Page - 14 „,WARNING Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death. Water Pressure Switch adjustment procedure to be performed by experienced service personnel only; procedure must not be attempted by individuals lacking adequate electrical and mechanical experience. Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment. . If the heat pump continues to operate after a water pressure switch adjustment, deactivate equipment and perform additional troubleshooting. L Remove heat pump access panel. 2. Locate the water pressure switch. It will be outside and along the bottom edge of the electrical enclosure. Exact location varies by model. 3. Activate filter pump. 4. Apply power to heat pump. 5. Slowly rotate the adjustment wheel on the switch. Keep turning the wheel until the heat pump indicates it is receiving water. The display will no longer indicate "NO POOL/SPA WATER FLOW”. Adjustment Wheel 6. Deactivate filter pump. If correctly adjusted, the heat pump will deactivate and the display will show "NO POOL/SPA WATER FLOW". 7. Re -install heat pump access panel. 8. If the heat pump continues to operate without water flow, the installation of a grid flow switch may be required. This can become necessary if the heat pump is installed below the elevation of the body of water to be heated — or cooled. The standing pressure from the water can cause the water pressure switch to activate when the circulation pump is off. Therefor a water flow switch must be used in place of a water pressure switch to determine if incoming water is being sent to the heat pump. See "Grid Flow Switch (# 0040S)" on page 71. 9. If heat pump continues to operate without water flow, contact AquaCalg. p 1.5 Electrical 1.5.a Electrical Requirements 1,&WARNING Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death. • The information contained in this section is intended for use by qualified electricians familiar with electrical service -industry safety standards and methods. . Locate the equipment disconnect as near to the heat pump as possible. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards. . Never mount power -disconnects directly to the heat pump. . In sizing power wiring, be especially aware of up -sizing requirements necessary due to wiring distances. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards. AquaCal' heat pumps are designed to use copper conductors, only. Do not use aluminum wire. . If multiple heat pumps are on site, confirm that the multiple heat pump configuration has been utilized. See "Connecting Multiple Heat Pumps (Master / Slaved)" on page 36. This will prevent multiple heat pumps attempting to start at the same time, causing an excessive power drop at start-up.
