6. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 6.1 CLUES • The power supply to the heater must come from the control panel and must be protected by a residual current circuit breaker with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA (RCD) of appropriate rating. • The RCD must be marked separately for the heater, e.g.
CAN-connection to internal unit unit • X3.1, X3.4 and X3.6 are not necessary when using the ratiotherm rZR 16x2 as main controller! Parallel use for Power-to-Heat however possible. • X3.2 and X3.3 are used to process a signal from the network operator/power supplier. X3.2 is downward compatible to the EVU contact.

7 . REFRIGERATION INSTALLATION 7 .1 PIPE SIZING ACCORDING TO DISTANCE TO EXTERNAL UNIT The values given are guide values. In the case of widely branched pipelines, other cooling capacities, risers and partial load operation, a precise pipeline calculation is necessary. The specified external pipe dimensions were calculated using standard software.

8.1 STRUCTURE AND SPARE PARTS The ratiotherm WP Max-Air air heat pump has a complete refrigeration circuit and uses the outside air as its primary energy source. The air heat pump is designed for all weather conditions. The outdoor part is installed outdoors in such a way that air can flow freely through the evaporator and is not recirculated.

Avoid placing objects on and leaning against the heat pump. 11.2 MAINTENANCE A prerequisite for permanent operational readiness and safety, reliability and a long service life is regular inspection/maintenance of the device by a recognised, qualified specialist technician authorised by ratiotherm. We recommend that maintenance be carried out annually.
• Never attempt to carry out maintenance work or repairs on the system yourself. • Have the system serviced or repaired by a recognised, qualified specialist authorised by ratiotherm. • We recommend that you conclude a maintenance contract. • Failure to carry out maintenance can impair the operational safety of the device and lead to damage to property or personal injury.
12. DECOMMISSIONING & DISPOSAL At the end of operation of the heat pump, disassembly of the machine may only be carried out by qualified personnel. Ensure that hazardous materials and waste are disposed of properly. When dismantling the heat pump, observe the instructions at the beginning of the technical documentation and the safety instructions listed below.
