5. Transport, packing and storage 5.1. Safety WARNING Damage due to improper transportation! Injuries to persons and significant damage to property can occur in the case of im- proper transportation. When unloading the packed unit on delivery, as well as in-house transport, WARNING proceed very carefully and obey the symbols and instructions on the packag- ing.
The packing material should only be removed just before the installation takes place. COMET advises to keep the transport pallet (if provided) for later transportation of the unit. Dispose packing material in accordance with environment protection requirements.
5.5. Manual handling WARNING Danger due to lifting and carrying heavy loads! Manual handling of the loads (lifting, pushing, and carrying) has to be avoided. Unit weight: see "Technical specifications" WARNING Use only suitable means of transport (e.g. industrial truck, lift truck or sack truck).
Protection caps for the coolant inlet and coolant outlet connections have only to be re- moved just before installation takes place. In order to store the units for more than 6 months, please consult COMET. 5.8. Preparing the unit for the further transport...
6. Installation and commissioning 6.1. Requirements concerning the installation location 6.1.1. Installation location The surface of the location must be even. When choosing the installation location the following must be kept in mind: the flow of the cooling air must not be restricted, coolant inlet and coolant outlet connections must be easily accessible and all hoses must be installed without sharp bends.
6.2. Using the unit for the first time NOTE Risk of damage to the unit due to temperature fluctuations! In case the unit is stored outside the operating temperature for a longer period of time, let the unit rest at the installation location so long, until it has reached ambient temperature. Only then can the unit be put into operation.
Connecting the unit electricallyRequirements Coolant hoses connected, see "Connecting the coolant hoses" Coolant added, see "Adding coolant" Procedure Connect the unit to mains by inserting the mains plug or making a mains connection as required by the particular periphery. The unit is now connected electrically.
7. Controlling the unit The unit is controlled by using the controls of the device that is to be cooled. All alarm and error signaling is only indicated on the control panel of the device that is to be cooled. 7.1.
The pressure relief valve is set by the manufacturer to a maximum pressure (factory setting: see "Technical specifications"). If any modification to this setting should be required, please contact the COMET service department to receive a briefing. NOTE The maximum pressure, which is reached by the device to be cooled, is affected by the length of the coolant hoses.
7.3.3. Thermostat The coolant outlet temperature is monitored by a thermostat. Factory setting: see "Technical specifica- tions". To meet changing needs the switching point of the thermostat can be corrected using the ad- justment knob. Setting the maximum value of the coolant outlet temperature Procedure ...
In the event of fault diagnostics follow the guidelines detailed below: Only sufficiently qualified personnel may perform maintenance on the unit. If you cannot determine the error, please contact COMET services. 8.2. Disruption in operation The most common reason for disruption in operation of the unit is improper maintenance. Maintenance should be carried out regularly according to the maintenance intervals defined in chapter "Mainte-...
