264-SS/327-SS Heat Pump Hot Water System
Installation Instructions (all models after April 08)
Site Selection:
1. The site should take minimisation of hot water run lengths
into account. If it is to be connected to a ring-main then this
is less important.
2. The site should be well ventilated to supply abundant
ambient air to the heat pump.
3. With replacement/additional refrigeration piping - the heat
pump can be mounted up to 7metres away from, & up to
5meters above or below, the tank.
4. If the heat-pump is situated in a narrow walkway with a
solid gate at each end, the resultant “well” will fill with cold
air - lowering the efficiency of the system. If no other site is
available, replace the panels on one or both of the end
gates with trellis.
5. If the site is earth or sloping paving, put down 2 x 600mm
square concrete slabs - levelled - on a sand or cement
base.
Installation:
Put the tank & the heat pump into position, plumb water connections, and fill tank.
Plumber:
Plumbing the tank is very similar to an electric HWS. If on town water, fit a 500kpa pressure
regulator.
The heat-pump unit will produce condensation that will drain from the bottom. If placed on a paved
area you will have to find a way to drain it away.
If you must install a tempering valve, it should be a high performance “green cap”. Do not install a
tempering valve on the input to a ring main.
Refrigeration connections:
Both the tank & the pipes are pre-charged so there is no need to do any evacuation or charging.
Work gently with the refrigeration pipes, use pipe benders to ensure easy access to connection
points. Do not kink the refrigeration pipes. Care must be taken to ensure pipes are not restricted
during the bending process. If the refrigeration pipes get kinked do not proceed. Contact
Skyline Energy and order a replacement pipe.
Carefully unroll the pre-charged refrigeration pipes. Make sure pipe insulation and refrigeration
pipes are not cut.
Remove the lower connection cover on the tank (4 screws).
Bring the 2 insulated refrigeration tubes out from behind the pump & ‘stroke’ them into position to
go up through the holes in the cover, & connect with the mating halves of the one-shot couplers
on the tank. Important: ENSURE GOOD ALIGNMENT TO PREVENT CRUSHING THE OLIVES
OR CROSS-THREADING. Prepare for connection of the smaller diameter liquid pipe first.
Proceed with connection of the larger diameter vapor pipe when this is completed.

CAUTION !! You may need to use 3 spanners to support & lock home
the couplers to avoid twisting the copper pipe either side of the
coupler.
Remove the connection cover on the side of the heat pump (remove 1
screw & push the cover downwards).
There are two brass hexagonal endcaps on the ends of the 2 spigots
protruding from the heat pump. (The frig pipes go into the side of the
spigots).
Remove the 2 endcaps.
Put a 5mm Allen key into the now exposed socket & rotate the key
anticlockwise until resistance is felt. (3 < 5 turns).
Replace the endcaps & the lower tank cover.
The refrigeration connection is now complete. Allow 10 minutes for the
charge to balance before turning the heat-pump on.
CHECK FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS BEFORE CONTINUING.
NOTE: ONCE THE COUPLERS HAVE BEEN JOINED, THE USE-ONCE SEALS HAVE BEEN
BROKEN. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE REFRIGERANT LINES WITHOUT FIRST
PERFORMING A “PUMP-DOWN” PROCEDURE.
Electrical Connections:
In warmer climates, the heat-pump may be installed on the off-peak tariff if available. In colder
climates, if off-peak is not available, or if night-time noise is a consideration, the unit should be
installed on the day tariff. If installed on the day tariff, we recommend installing a DIN rail timer
and set the run time appropriately (to run during the warmest time of day – say from midday to
6pm – 9pm. The customer should be left the instructions for the timer, so it can be adjusted)
Remove the upper connection cover from the tank.
Take the supplied, conduit-sheathed lead & put the end with the gland through the hole in the
connection cover & secure it with the nut provided.
Push the 2 female blade terminals on the lead firmly onto the blades of the water thermostat
mounted on the side of the tank.
Secure the eyelet earth terminal to the thermostat mount post.
The bootlace pins on the other end of the lead go to terminal 1 & 2 on the heat pump connection
block & the forked earth lug goes under the earth screw.
Pull any excess lead back into the tank cover & secure it by winding a cable tie 2 or 3 times
around the lead, at the gland, to stop it from sliding back out.
Power in (Active) goes to Terminal L on
the pump connection block.
Power in (Neutral) goes to Terminal N
Earth goes to the brass earth screw.
Replace both covers.
CAUTION DO NOT START the machine until the plumbing is complete & the
TANK is FULL of WATER
