INSTALLATION
Placement ®f Heater
-Indoor Installation-
Indoor installations can be problematic, and for that reason are discouraged. However, if no viable
alternative exists, indoor installations may be successfully accomplished provided very exacting cri-
teria is addressed. Every indoor installation is unique: therefore, there are no specific guidelines for
this type of installation. If considering an indoor installation, you are strongly urged to contact the
AquaCal Engineering department (727) 823-5642 for assistance prior to proceeding.
-Outdoor Installation-
Service and Operational Clearances:
® To operate correctly, heat pumps require large volumes of air moving over the heat collector.
allow adequate clearance between the heat pump and walls, fences, shrubs, or other objects.
Refer to required clearance drawings below.
o Allow five (5)feet of vertical clearance between the top of the heat pump and any roof overhang
or other obstruction. This clearance prevents cold discharge air from recirculating back into the
heat pump (recirculation will reduce the overall performance of the heat pump).
The access panel requires removal during installation and service. Do not place plumbing, or
other items, closer than 30"from the front of the heater.
Code Required Clearances:
In addition to the previously stated clearance requirements,follow all applicable local,state,and national
requirements relative to spacing from other objects or equipment.

INSTALLATION - PLACEMENT OF HEATER
(continued)
Irrigation, Rainwater Runoff, and Landscape Features
Place the heat pump away from direct rain runoff from roofs. If roof slope directs runoff into the
heater,a gutter or rain shield will be required on the roof edge above the heat pump.
Relocate or adjust irrigation to avoid water spray onto the heat pump.
. Do not locate the heat pump directly adjacent to plants, shrubs,or bushes. Doing so will prevent
proper air circulation into the unit,and may inhibit access to the heater when service is needed.
a Consult drawings on previous page(Required Installation Clearances)for proper spacing to
other objects.
Equipment mounting Pad Requirements
The equipment pad shall be constructed of concrete,pressure treated wood,or other code-
approved materials.
• The equipment pad shall meet all requirements of authorities having code-related jurisdiction.
• The pad shall be elevated and placed to provide adequate drainage and support to the base of
the heat pump.The pad should be essentially level with just enough pitch to drain condensate
and any other water away from the heater.
• The pad shall extend—in all directions—(at least)3"beyond the base of the heat pump.
® Under no circumstances shall the heater be installed directly onto the earth.
Anchoring Heater to Pad
• Follow all relevant local,state,or national requirements regarding wind load anchoring.
a When anchoring is required, use AquaCal optional Hurricane Anchoring Kits.
-AquaCal anchoring kits satisfy,completely,the very stringent Florida Building Code
Section 301.13:Wind Anchoring Requirements.
-Contact AquaCal Pails Group(727-823-5642)to obtain the correct anchoring kit for the
heater being installed.
-Please have the heater model number ready when contacting AquaCal Parts Group.
A As necessary,contact the AquaCal Technical Support Group(727-823-5642)for assistance in
determining best method of compliance.

RIWAQQ=__injury
Failure to heed the following may result in permanent
ordeath.
Installation made by unqualified persons can result in hazards to the installer and others.
The information contained in this Electrical Installation section is intended for use by qualified
electrical installation technicians,familiar with electrical service industry safety standards
and methods. Electrical installation to be performed by qualified individuals only.
General Requirements
Locate the equipment disconnect means within 3-feet of the heater's electrical enclosure, or as
close to the heater as possible.Always satisfy applicable codes and standards.
AquaCal heat pumps are designed for copper conductors, only. Never mount disconnect directly
to heat pump.
o In sizing power wiring, be especially aware of up-sizing requirements necessary due to wiring
distances.Always satisfy applicable codes and standards.
® Multiple heaters installed at same site generally require special sequencing controls (an"ASC"
controller will be required). If yours is a multi-heater installation, contact AquaCal Technical
Support Group (727-823-5642)for application assistance.
o Electrical installation should be by licensed electrician only.
Code-Specific Requirements
e The electrical installation must conform to the most current version of the National Electrical
Code, NFPA No.70, and all applicable local and state codes.
o National Electrical Code,Article 680, Swimming Pools Fountains and Similar Installations, shall
apply-
® National Electrical Code,Article 440 Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment, shall apply.
Connecting External Controllers
- See document entitled_ "Connecting External Controllers to AquaCal Heat Pumps": this
document is shipped with every AquaCal heater. For extra copies, contact AquaCal Customer
Support(727-823-5642); request literature piece: "LTP0050."
d For Call-Flex option, reference instructions received with the Call-Flex kit.
Please contact the AquaCal Technical Support Group (727-823-5642) concerning the application
of any external controller, Call-Flex, sequencing control, etc.

Reference the Equipment Data Plate
m All AquaCal heat pumps have two (2) identical data plates affixed: one can be found outside the
unit, on right front corner; the second data plate is located behind the front access panel, on the
electrical enclosure cover.
Refer to either equipment data plate for unit-specific electrical power supply requirements.
o Based on data plate information, size wiring,wiring devices, and over-current protection per
applicable codes and standards.
a Refer to drawing below for data plate items specific to electricat instattatiorrrequirements-"Orr lme

A Word Concerning Ground-Fault Protection
The National Electrical Code (NEC) contains no standards requiring Ground-Fault Interruption
protection (via GFI Circuit Breaker or otherwise) of"Fixed' or"Stationary"equipment, under
article 680: Swimming Pools, Fountain, & Similar Installations, or Article 440: Air-Conditioning&
Refrigeration Equipment.
0 The preceding standards govern the installation of AquaCal (and other manufacturers') heat
pumps.AquaCal heat pumps are designed, and safety tested by a certified laboratory, to be
installed under applicable standards detailed within the NEC.
AquaCal does not recommend the use of ground fault protective devices in conjunction with heat
pumps. Service calls, found to be due to "nuisance" tripping of ground fault devices, are
not covered under the AquaCal factory warranty_
