INFORMATION
If the unit detects flow when the pump is not running, an
external device might be causing flow, or there might be
something wrong with the flow measuring devices (flow
sensor and flow switch).
▪ If the flow sensor detects flow when the pump is not
running, the unit will stop operation and the user
interface will display error C0‑00. For the unit to resume
operation, this error needs to be reset manually.
▪ If the flow switch detects flow when the pump is not
running, the unit will temporarily stop operation and the
user interface will display error C0‑01. After some time,
the error will reset automatically and the unit will
resume operation. If the problem persists, the unit will
stop operation and the user interface will display error
C0‑02. For the unit to resume operation, this error
needs to be reset manually.

NOTICE
Do not try to dismantle the system yourself: the dismantling
of the system, treatment of the refrigerant, oil and other
parts must comply with applicable legislation. Units must
be treated at a specialised treatment facility for reuse,
recycling and recovery.
13.1

Overview: Disposal

Typical workflow
Disposing of the system typically consists of the following stages:
1 Pumping down the system.
2 Bringing the system to a specialized treatment facility.
INFORMATION
For more details, see the service manual.
13.2

To pump down

Example: To protect the environment, pump down when disposing
of the unit.
It is NOT required to pump down when relocating the unit.
DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION
Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump
down the system, and there is a leakage in the refrigerant
circuit:
▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function,
with which you can collect all refrigerant from the
system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence:
Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor
because of air going into the operating compressor.
▪ Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's
compressor does NOT have to operate.
NOTICE
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before
removing the refrigerant piping. If the compressor is still
running and the stop valve is open during pump down, air
will be sucked into the system. Compressor breakdown or
damage to the system can result due to abnormal pressure
in the refrigerant cycle.
Pump down operation will extract all refrigerant from the system into
the outdoor unit.

1 Remove the valve lid from the liquid stop valve and the gas stop
valve.
2 Carry out the forced cooling operation.
3 After 5 to 10 minutes (after only 1 or 2 minutes in case of very
low ambient temperatures (<−10°C)), close the liquid stop valve
with a hexagonal wrench.
4 Check with the manifold if the vacuum is reached.
5 After 2-3 minutes, close the gas stop valve and stop forced
cooling operation.
