Safety instructions

Copeland™ semi-hermetic compressors are manufactured according to the latest relevant European
safety standards. Particular emphasis has been placed on the user's safety.
Stream 4M* and 6M* compressors are intended for installation in systems in accordance with the
European Machinery Directive MD 2006/42/EC and Low Voltage Directive LVD 2014/35/EU. They
can only be used in the EU if they have been installed in systems according to instructions and
conform to the corresponding provisions of legislation. Conformity to local legislation and regulations
must also be observed. For relevant standards please refer to the Manufacturer's Declaration,
available at www.climate.emerson.com/en-gb.
NOTE: Only dedicated compressors are allowed to be used with flammable refrigerants.
Emerson marks all compressors that are qualified for flammable refrigerants with a sticker
indicating the usage of such refrigerants. Systems using flammable refrigerants must be
executed correctly while observing safety rules, as specified in corresponding safety
standards such as, but not limited to EN 378. They must comply with any and all applicable
legislation and regulations. Ensuring compliance remains the user's responsibility.
For applications with A1 refrigerants ( R448A, R449A, R407A, R407F, R404A, R407C, R513A,
R450A and R134a ) this sticker is not needed and can be removed.
The Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) for the individual refrigerant shall be considered when
working with these types of refrigerant - please check the document provided by the gas supplier.
These instructions shall be retained throughout the lifetime of the compressor.
You are strongly advised to follow these safety instructions.
