ELECTRICAL SAFETY
All electrical components associated with this equipment should be installed with a lockable disconnect switch
located within sight of the equipment.
In the event of multiple components, these can be installed after a single disconnect switch but multiple switches
or a combination thereof are also allowed.
No service work should be performed on or near electrical components unless adequate safety measures are
taken. These include, but are not limited to the following:
Isolate the component electrically
Lock the isolation switch in order to prevent unintentional restart
Measure that no electrical voltage is present anymore
If parts of the installation remain energized, make sure to properly demarcate these in order to avoid confusion
Fan motor terminals and connections may have residual voltage after unit shut-down. Wait five minutes after
disconnecting the voltage at all poles before opening the fan motor terminal box.
LOCATION
All cooling equipment should be located as far away as possible from occupied areas, open windows or air intakes
to buildings.
LOCAL REGULATIONS
Installation and operation of cooling equipment may be subject to local regulations, such as establishment of risk
analysis. Ensure regulatory requirements are consistently met.

Disposal requirements

Dismantling of the unit and treatment of refrigerants (if applicable), oil and other parts must be done with respect to
the environment whilst protecting workers from potential risks related to exposure to harmful substances.
National and regional legislation for material disposal and protection of workers should be taken into account with
regard to:
Appropriate handling of construction and maintenance materials when dismantling the unit. In particular when
dealing with materials that contain harmful substances, such as asbestos or carcinogenic substances.
Appropriate disposal of the construction and maintenance materials and components such as steel, plastics,
refrigerants and waste water according to local and national requirements for waste management, recycling
and disposal.

Non-walking surfaces

Access to and maintenance of any component needs to be performed in accordance with all local applicable laws
and regulations. If the proper and required access means are not present, temporary structures need to be
foreseen. Under no circumstance can one use parts of the unit, that are not designed as an access mean, unless
measures can be taken to mitigate any risks that might occur from doing so.

Modifications by others

Whenever modifications or changes are made by others to the BAC equipment without written permission of BAC,
the party who has done the modification becomes responsible for all consequences of this change and BAC
declines all liability for the product.
