The manual of the Vitocal 100-A units contains all the necessary information for optimal use of the equipment under safe conditions for the operator. 1 PURPOSE AND CONTENTS OF THE MANUAL This manual provides basic information as to the selection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Vitocal 100-A unit.
2 NORMATIVE REFERENCES Vitocal 100-A units have been designed in compliance with the following directives and harmonized standards on the safety of machinery: EC directives, 2014/35/UE, 2014/30/UE, 2011/65/UE, 2012/19/UE, 2014/68/UE Standard UNI EN 12735-1 Standard IEC EN 60335-1, IEC EN 60335-2-40 ...
Do not spray or pour water directly on the unit. Do not dispose of, abandon or leave within reach of children packaging materials (cardboard, staples, plastic bags, etc.) as they may represent a hazard. Any routine or extraordinary maintenance operation must be carried out with the machine stopped and disconnected.
For any operation on the heat pump system: Wear the appropriate PPE (specifically gloves and goggles). Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated. Do not work in closed environments or ditches with little air circulation. Do not operate on the refrigerant in the vicinity of hot parts or naked flames. Do not release the refrigerant into the environment and pay special attention to accidental leakage from pipes and/or fittings even after having emptied the plant.
4.4 REFRIGERANT SAFETY DATA SHEET Name: R32. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Main hazards: Asphyxiation. Specific hazards: Quick evaporation could cause it to freeze. FIRST AID MEASURES General information: Do not administer to people who are unconscious. Inhalation: Immediately remove to fresh air. Use oxygen or artificial respiration as required.
Hygienic measures: No smoking. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Colour: Colourless. Odour: Ethereal. Hard to perceive at low concentrations. Boiling point: -51.7°C at atm. press. Flash point: 648 °C. Relative gas density (air =1) 1.8. Relative liquid density 1.1. (water =1) Solubility in water: 280000 mg/l.
4.6 R32 GAS CHARGE The procedures described below may only be performed by skilled technicians or qualified personnel: - ensure the R32 is not contaminated by any other types of refrigerant; - keep the gas cylinder in an upright position when charging; - ground the refrigerant circuit - apply the appropriate label on the unit after charging;...
CAUTION: The units are designed for outdoor installation. The outside temperature must never exceed 46°C. Beyond this value, the unit is no longer covered by the current regulations in the field of safety of pressure equipment. CAUTION: The installation place must be without any fire risks. Therefore all the necessary measures should be adopted in order to prevent the risk of fire at the installation place.
5.3 POSITIONING AND MINIMUM TECHNICAL CLEARANCES All models of the Vitocal 100-A range are designed and constructed for outdoor installations. It is advisable to create an adequately sized support base for the unit. The units transmit a small amount of vibrations to the ground: it is nonetheless advisable to apply vibration dampers between the base frame and support surface.

All of the units leave the company supplied with flow switch (installed in factory). If the flow switch is altered or removed or if the water filter and dirt separator are missing from the unit, the guarantee will be void. Refer to the wiring diagram attached to the unit to connect the flow switch.
5.6.3 Handbook If you need more information about the possible configurations, there is a handbook which is a technical notebook including a series of system diagrams that have been highlighted regarding the installation configuration of our high efficiency heat pumps. The Handbook is also intended to show the symbiosis potential with some of our elements found in the catalogue.
When it is required to top up the circuit or to adapt the glycol level, please use the service valve. Unscrew and remove the cap from the service valve and Ring nut connect a 14 or 12 mm pipe (inside Cap with gasket diameter - check the valve model installed on your unit), connected to the...
5.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Check that the power supply matches the unit’s electric nominal data (voltage, phases, frequency) displayed on the rating plate on the unit’s side panel. The electric power connections must be made in accordance to the wiring diagram enclosed with the unit and in conformity with national and international standards (providing general circuit breaker, residual current devices for each line, proper earthing of the plant, etc.).

possible. Verify the mandatory nature and the documentation required in regulation n.517/2014 and its subsequent amendments or repeals. As the manufacturer, we recommend that the following service plan is maintained (if necessary, carried out by a specialist company). Non-compliance can have a negative effect on error-free operation and the expected product service life of the heat pump.
aluminium fins. Do not strike the coil with the water hose. Apply your thumb at the end of the hose to increase the pressure of the water jet instead of using specific nozzles which could damage the coil. CAUTION: Do not clean the coil using high-pressure cleaners so as not to apply excessive pressure which could cause irreparable damage.
The user is responsible for the proper disposal of this product, according to national regulations in the country of destination of the appliance.
