  • Use BSP3/4 internal thread pipes for water inlet and outlet, ensuring they are heat-resistant and durable.
  • The P&T valve should also use a BSP3/4 internal thread. Ensure its drainpipe outlet is exposed to air and the flexible drainpipe points downwards.

5.2 Handing & Transportation

The unit should be stored and transported in an upright position, without water, and is allowed a maximum tilt of 30 degrees for short distances. Keep it within ambient temperatures of 0^ C to 40^ C. For forklift transportation, the unit must remain on its pallet, be lifted slowly, and be secured to prevent tipping over.

EvoHeat EVO270-E - Handing & Transportation - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a person pushing a large block on stairs (no text or symbols)

When manually transporting, use the wooden pallet and ropes or straps, ensuring the unit doesn't exceed a 60-degree tilt. After any inclined transport, let the unit rest for an hour before operation.

5.3 Location of Installation

The heat pump is designed for external installation, however, where possible installing the unit under the house eaves or in a sheltered environment may help prolong the life of the system.

Heat pumps operate most efficiently with warmer air temperatures, and the outlet air from the unit will always be colder than the inlet air. Therefore, it is advisable to install the unit, so it receives the warmest air temperatures possible and that the cold air is not able to recirculate back into the unit.

5.4 Airflow Clearances

≥600 Air Outlet Air Inlet ≥1000≥'

The unit must be installed with sufficient clearances to allow airflow to circulate through the unit, it is advised to keep a minimum gap between walls/fences etc of:

• Air Inlet/Outlet Sides: 1000mm
• Overhead Clearance: 600mm
• Rear Clearance: 300mm

Without sufficient airflow, discharged cold air will recirculate into the unit and consequently lower the heating efficiency or cause potential compressor failure.

If the installation location does not comply with these suggested clearances, contact EvoHeat's Technical Support to discuss possible solutions.

Non-compliant installations risk voiding the warranty; ensure adherence to AS/NZS 3500.4

5.5 Cable Connection

The power cable for power supply of the unit is stored in the back of the unit. The unit must be installed in accordance with Australian standards. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician. Wi-Fi cable connection/plug should be protected from weather and potential water ingress using the supplied heat shrink.

5.6 Filling the Tank

Open a hot water tap inside the house. Open the cold-water inlet valve into the unit to fill the tank. When water begins flowing out of the hot water tap inside the premises, turn off the hot water tap.

5.7 Initial Start-Up

PRE-INSPECTION

Check the water supply to the tank and pipe connections for possible leaks.

Check that the following devices are installed and operating correctly:

  • Drainpipes
  • P&T Valve
  • Filter on inlet
    • Water softening and pressure reducing devices if required.

Check that all power connections are secure before switching on.

Check that the installation space is adequate.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Troubleshooting Q & A

Why does the compressor not run immediately when I start up the unit?

- After the unit is powered on, following a shutdown, there is a built-in delay of 3 minutes before the compressor starts running. This delay is a self-protection feature of the unit, designed to prevent damage and ensure the system's longevity.

Why does the outlet water temperature on the display sometimes increase slowly?

- Initially, there is a variation in water temperature between the upper and lower layers of the tank. As the heating process begins, the temperature in different parts of the tank equalizes, which initially causes a slower rise in temperature. Once the temperature becomes more uniform throughout the tank, the increase on the display will be faster.

Why does the outlet water temperature on the display decrease when the unit is in heating mode?

- If there is a significant temperature difference between the upper (hotter) water and the bottom (colder) water in the tank, the water temperature may decrease slightly due to convection currents. These currents occur as hot water rises and cold water sinks, leading to a temporary mixing and a slight decrease in temperature.

Why does the unit not start heating immediately when the outlet water temperature decreases?

- The unit is designed to avoid frequent on/off cycling, which can occur due to minor temperature fluctuations. If the hot water in the tank is not used for an extended period, the temperature may naturally decrease due to heat loss. To prevent unnecessary cycling, the unit is programmed not to start heating again until the water temperature decreases by more than 5 degrees. This feature helps in conserving energy and extending the life of the unit.

Why does the outlet water temperature decrease abruptly?

- The decrease in outlet water temperature occurs due to the mixing of hot and cold water within the tank. When the hot water at the top of the tank is depleted, cold water from the bottom can reach the upper sensor, resulting in a sudden temperature drop.

Why is hot water still available when the display shows a significant decrease in the outlet water temperature?

- This happens because the upper sensor is located near the top of the tank. Even when the display indicates a significant decrease in outlet water temperature, approximately one-fifth of the tank's capacity for hot water remains available.

Why does the compressor stop while the fan continues to run in heating mode?

- In heating mode, the unit may need to defrost if the evaporator freezes due to low ambient temperatures. During this defrosting process, the compressor will stop operating, but the fan will continue to run to facilitate defrosting.

Why does the heating process take the time it does?

- The unit is engineered for optimal energy efficiency, which means it operates with lower power consumption and thus, a standard heating duration that aligns with typical heat pump performance. The usual heating time ranges between 2 to 6 hours, depending on factors such as the initial temperature of the water, the volume of water usage, and the surrounding environmental temperature. This duration is standard for heat pumps and reflects the balance between energy efficiency and effective heating performance.

8.2 Use of the P&T Valve

EvoHeat EVO270-E - Use of the P&amp;T Valve - 1

WARNING: Failing to operate the relief valve easing gear at least once every six months may result in the water heater exploding. Continuous leakage of water from the valve may indicate a problem with the water heater.

EvoHeat EVO270-E - Use of the P&amp;T Valve - 2

The Pressure and Temperature (P&T) valve is crucial for maintaining safe levels inside the tank. It automatically opens to release water if either the temperature or pressure exceeds the predetermined settings, preventing dangerous build-ups.

Maintenance of Safety Valve: Test the safety valve handle every six months to clear out calcium carbonate deposits and ensure the valve is unblocked. Be cautious of the high temperature of the discharged water to avoid burns. Additionally, keep vent pipes thermally insulated to prevent them from freezing in winter, which can pose safety risks.

Valve Replacement: If replacement of the P&T valve is necessary, it should match the original in performance, size, and specifications.

8.3 Using the Overheating Protector

The overheating protector is designed to turn off the power during emergencies or power issues, ensuring the water doesn't overheat.

In the event of a thermal cut-out, consider it a potential safety hazard. It's crucial to have the unit serviced by a qualified technician before attempting a reset. Contact EvoHeat for service in such cases.

To return the unit to its normal operation status by resetting manually:

a) To access the overheat protector, remove the front dark grey controller panel.
b) Remove the 3 screws on the front panel and push the front cover upwards.
c) Remove the remaining screws which cover the overheat protector panel.

8.4 Draining the Water Tank

EvoHeat EVO270-E - Draining the Water Tank - 1

The water from the hot water tap and the drain plug will be hot. Be careful of burns and scalds. Wear protective clothing.

  1. Close the cold-water inlet valve into the EVO270-E.
  2. Open a hot water tap inside the premises.
  3. Undo the drain plug on the base of the unit to drain the water from the system.

8.5 Wi-Fi Module Connection (Optional)

Note: If you do not have a Wi-Fi module to install, apply heat shrink to the plug, this will protect it from water ingress.

The optional Wi-fi Control upgrade can be purchased to allow you to remotely control your EvoHeat hot water heat pump from your phone.

Newly installed units will have a small cable protruding from behind the top panel covered in heat shrink.

If you are installing the Wi-Fi module, simply connect the cable of the Wi-Fi module to the one that protrudes.

Once the Wi-Fi module has been connected, ensure that the connection plug has the heat shrink applied to the plug and the cable is protected from water and dust.

The module must be placed with the cord facing downwards to protect it from water tracking.

9. Maintenance

9.1 Maintenance Periods

Your EVO270-E will operate most efficiently if regularly inspected as part of your home maintenance schedule.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that the minor maintenance be performed every 12 months by the dwelling occupant.

The minor maintenance includes:

  • Operate the easing lever on the temperature pressure relief valve. It is very important you raise and lower the lever gently. Exercise care to avoid any splashing of water, as water discharged from the drain line will be hot. Stand clear of the drain lines point of discharge when operating the valve's lever.
  • Operate the easing level on the expansion control valve (if fitted). It is very important you raise and lower the lever gently.
  • Conduct a visual inspection of all plumbing and electrical connections.
  • Check the condensate drain line to ensure it is not blocked.
  • Check that air vents and evaporator is not blocked or obstructed, and if necessary, isolate the power to the system and clear with a brush.
  • Conduct a general external clean of the unit with a damp cloth.

THREE-YEAR SERVICE

EvoHeat EVO270-E - THREE-YEAR SERVICE - 1

It is a warranty requirement that a three (3) year service must be conducted on the EVO270-E.

Just as a car needs regular servicing, your heat pump also requires a three-year service to maintain efficiency and ensure long-term performance.

EvoHeat EVO270-E - THREE-YEAR SERVICE - 2

Warning: Servicing of a water heater must only be carried out by qualified EvoHeat personnel. Phone EvoHeat Service on 1300 859 933 for our closest Accredited Service Agent.

Note: The three-year service and routine replacement of any components such as the anode and relief valve(s) are not included in the EvoHeat warranty. Only genuine replacement parts should be used on this water heater.

The service includes the following actions:

  • Replace the temperature limiting valve.
  • Replace the temperature pressure relief valve.
  • Inspect the anode and if required, replace the anode. If the anode is not replaced, it should be replaced within three years of this service.
  • Check the heating cycle of the unit.
  • Visually check the unit for any potential problems.
  • Inspect the plumbing and electrical all connections.
  • Check the condensate on drain line to ensure it is not blocked.

Note: The water heater may need to be drained during this service. After the completion of the service, the water heater will take some time to reheat the water. Depending upon the power supply connect on, hot water may not be available until the next day.
