NNEXT rev.01 Refrigerant pressure defect The causes that can cause lowering of the intake pressure beyond the values permitted in the project are: defect in the quality of refrigerant loaded; poor regulation of the thermostatic valves; gas leaks that reduce the load. This entails a drastic reduction in the thermodynamic efficiency of the system and can cause compressor failure.
NNEXT rev.01 2.2.4. Notifications The partly-completed machine is equipped, in addition to the luminous signals and the instruments installed on the panel of the electrical panel, with indicator lights on the inside. To access it, it may be necessary to remove one or more covering panels that close the structure. For further information on the light signals and on the instruments of the electrical panel, refer to the wiring diagram and to the relative documentation attached to this manual.

NNEXT rev.01 2.5. Proper and improper use of the partly-completed machine The partly-completed machine which is the subject of these assembly instructions has been designed and constructed exclusively for refrigeration. The partly-completed machine is configured to use only R744 (CO2) refrigerant gas.
Page 18
NNEXT rev.01 2.7. General Warnings and Rules of Conduct In order to avoid any risk to persons or damage to the machine, it is advisable to strictly follow the warnings and general rules of conduct reported here. DANGER WARNING: the Manufacturer disclaims any liability for any damage to property and/or persons arising from improper operations carried out by unqualified, untrained or unauthorized personnel.

NNEXT rev.01 The area where the maintenance operations are carried out must always be clean, dry and with the appropriate equipment always available and efficient. If it is necessary to perform interventions in the vicinity of electrical components, operate with dry hands and use dielectric gloves.
Page 20
NNEXT rev.01 Description of the partly-completed machine The partly-completed machine models that are the subject of this document are faired condensing units for use in commercial refrigeration. The faired condensing units are systems for positive and negative refrigeration where the heat can be disposed of into the environment. The faired condensing units are compact, low noise systems, suitable for working outdoors.
Page 21
NNEXT rev.01 The partly-completed machine can communicate with the supervisory systems through Modbus RTU communication via RS485, and can also be provided with a system of remote communication with the owner. The compact design allows installation even in small spaces. The structure is made of bent sheet metal with epoxy paint and suitable feet dampen the vibrations.
Page 22
NNEXT rev.01 Regardless of the configuration, the partly-completed machine is always supplied without the air evaporators so it is not able to perform the function for which it is created without the evaporating unit. As a consequence, it is a partly-completed machine, as defined by Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE. In order to define the refrigeration cycle envisaged, the purchaser has to insert it in a complete refrigeration circuit.
