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. WARNING When unloading the packed unit on delivery, as well as in-house transport, pro- ceed very carefully and obey the symbols and instructions on the packaging.
The packing material should only be removed just be- fore 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.
• The packaging has only to be removed just before installation takes place. • 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.
• Mount the transport plug using the slot screwdriver. • Pack the unit according to the transport conditions that can be expected. COMET advises to use original packaging, if available, or an equivalent packaging. • Mark the packaging with appropriate symbols; see "Symbols on the packaging".
6. Installation and commissioning 6.1. Requirements concerning the installation location 6.1.1. Installation location • The surface of the location must be even and flat. • When choosing the installation location the following must be kept in mind: 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.

7. Controlling the unit The unit is controlled using the temperature controller inside the unit and 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.
The pressure control 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.
7.3.4. Temperature controller NOTE In order to ensure a proper unit operation only the parameters P0, P1 and P3 may be corrected Figure 7: Temperature controller with display Control key UP Control key DOWN Control key SET Control key NOT IN USE 3-digit 7-segment display 7.3.4.1.
• Press the SET key to select P1. The current temperature setting is displayed. Set-up mode is activated. • Use the keys (UP) and (DOWN) to set the desired value.. • Press the SET key. Set-up mode is now disabled. The hysteresis value for P0 is set. If no input is entered, the temperature controller will automatically return to normal operation mode after 45 seconds.
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-...
