This manual contains instructions for the EarthLinked®Hydronic Water Module which is
combined with other EarthLinked®system components, field specified hydronic heating
and chilled water cooling components, thermostats, storage water heaters, storage water
tanks and associated fittings, controls and piping.
EarthLinked®Technologies manufactures and sells only the EarthLinked®system
components and the performance information contained herein is based on performance
of EarthLinked®Technologies’ supplied Products.
Therefore, EarthLinked®Technologies shall not be liable for any defect, unsatisfactory
performance, damage or loss, whether direct or consequential, relative to the design,
manufacture, construction, application or installation of the above mentioned field
specified items.
Proper installation and servicing of the EarthLinked®Heating and Cooling System is
essential to its reliable performance. All EarthLinked®systems must be installed and
serviced by an authorized, trained technician who has successfully completed the
training class and passed the final examination. Installation and service must be made
in accordance with the instructions set forth in this manual and the current EarthLinked
Heating and Cooling Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to provide
installation and service by an authorized, trained installer in a manner consistent with the
subject manuals will nullify the limited warranty coverage for the system.

A. Inspection
Upon receipt of the equipment, carefully check the shipment against the bill of lading.
Reference EarthLinked®matching system component model numbers in Figure 1. Make
sure all units have been received and model numbers are the same as those ordered.

Inspect the carton or crating of each unit, and inspect each unit for damage. Assure the
carrier makes proper notation of any shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill
and he completes a common carrier inspection report. Concealed damage not discovered
during unloading must be reported to the carrier within 15 days of receipt of shipment. If not
filed within 15 days, the freight company can deny the claim without recourse. Note: it
is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all necessary claims with the carrier.

Equipment should be stored in its packaging in a clean, dry area. Store equipment in an
upright position at all times. Equipment is to be stacked in accordance with the notation on
the packaging. DO NOT remove equipment from shipping cartons until equipment is
required for installation.
Cover equipment on the job site with either shipping cartons, vinyl film or an equivalent
protective covering. In areas where painting, plastering and/or spraying has not been
completed, all due precautions must be taken to avoid physical damage to the equipment
and contamination by foreign material. Physical damage and contamination may prevent
proper start-up and may result in costly equipment clean up. Examine all equipment before
installing.
B. Pre-Installation
Prior to installing the Hydronic Water Module and other EarthLinked®space heating and
cooling system above-ground components, you will need tools and equipment listed in
Section 8 to properly install the system.
Installation of the Hydronic Water Module must be done in accordance with this manual and
the EarthLinked®Technical Manual.
Prepare the Hydronic Water Module (HWM) for installation as follows:
1. Compare the data on the unit nameplate or packaging with ordering and shipping
information to verify the correct unit has been shipped (See Figure 1.)
2. Keep the HWM covered with the packaging until installation is begun and all plastering,
painting, etc. is finished.
3. Verify refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must be clean and tight at the terminals.

4. The Primary Circuit
A. Plumbing
The primary circuit in a typical HWM installation is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Primary Circuit for EarthLinked®System with HWM
The Hydronic Water Module primary circuit water solution plumbing must be installed
consistent with local codes and industry practice. At a minimum, the HWM should have the
fittings as shown in Figure 6. The minimal fittings shown in Figure 6 will facilitate maintaining
and servicing the Hydronic Water Module. Additional fittings may be required to satisfy local
codes and other hydronic system requirements.
