HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS General rules A mesh filter (hole Ø ≤ 500 µm) must be installed on the unit’s water inlet and/or water tank otherwise warranty is imme- diately forfeited. The filter performs the function of blocking any foreign matter in the system’s piping circuit (shavings, machining debris, etc.).
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS Basic diagram Standard Unit VB [PLANT SIDE wATER CIRCUIT] The following figures represent connections to the plant side exchanger. IMPORTANT: There must be a constant flow of water to the exchanger. With accessory primary-secondary pumping module MP PS STD is mandatory to install a water filter in the secondary circuit immediately after of the water tank.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS Air vent and water drain On the piping circuit feeding the unit, especially when equipped with the Victaulic connection kit, the installer must fit an appropriate number of valves (manual or automatic) at the top of the circuit in order to vent any air in the piping system. In the same way, he must install a water drain valve in order, when necessary, to drain the unit’s plate exchanger completely (especially during the winter in order to prevent freezing that would seriously jeopardize the operation of the unit).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS General rules The appliance must be wired in compliance with the laws in force in the country in which it is installed. The units are supplied fully wired in the factory and pre-engineered for connection to the electricity main. The electric panel is made in compliance with the tech- nical standards in force in the European Union.

START-UP General Rules To validate the contractual warranty, the machine must be set at work by technicians from an authorized assistance center. Before they are called, check to make sure that all parts of the installation have been completed, the unit levelled, the wet connections made with the relative air vent and the electrical connections made.

MAINTENANCE • Inspection of the condensing system wARNING: The finned pack exchanger has fins made of aluminium or some other thin material, thus even accidental contact could cause cuts. Comply with the instructions in the relative section. • Condensing coils In view of the function of this component, it is very important for the surface of the exchanger to be as free as possible from clogging caused by items that could reduce the fan’s air flow rate and, thus, the performances of the unit itself.
MAINTENANCE General considerations The machine has been designed with a view to reducing the risks to persons and the environment in which it is installed, to the mi- nimum. To eliminate residue hazards, it is therefore advisable to become as familiar as possible with the machine in order to avoid accidents that could cause injuries to persons and/or damage to property.
