To unlock it, it is necessary to unscrew the fixing screws using the appropriate tool and pull it towards you using the handle located under the panel. Pay attention to the electrical panel which is bound to the door itself.
5.7.2 Access to the inside of the unit on the hydronic kit side In the event of maintenance and/or inspection of the hydronic part and part of the refrigeration circuit, it is necessary to access the inside of the unit from the rear side, near the hydraulic connections. Unscrew the rear panel fixing screws and remove it from the base. In the case of a single-battery unit, one of the two sides can also be inspected by removing the side panels; in the case of a tank kit, both sides of the additional appendage can also be removed. 5.8 PLUMBING CONNECTIONS The plumbing connections must be made in accordance with national and/or local regulations; pipes can be made of steel, galvanised steel or PVC. Pipes must be accurately sized according to the nominal water flow rate of the unit and the pressure drops of the water circuit. All pipes must be insulated with closed-cell material of adequate thickness. The chiller must be connected to the pipes using new flexible joints, not re- used ones. The water circuit should include the following components: • Well thermometers to monitor the circuit’s temperature. • Manual gate valves to isolate the chiller from the water circuit. • Metal Y filter and dirt separator (installed on the return pipe) with metal mesh no larger than 1 mm. (obligatory to mantain the validity of the guarantee). • Loading group and exhaust valve where necessary. CAUTION: When sizing the pipes, make sure not to exceed the maximum pressure drop on plant side reported in the techni- cal data table (see useful head).
The heating system and the safety valves must comply with the requirements of standard EN 12828. The unit is pre-tensioned on the side cover plate in order to provide a suitable passage for the discharge of the safety valve (the installation of which is the responsibility of the user). 5.8.1 Features of the circuit water To guarantee correct operation of the unit, the water must be appropriately filtered (see the instructions at the start of this paragraph) and there must be only a minimum amount of dissolved substances.

ATTENTION: It is recommended to connect the safety valve vent in an appropriate conveyor / discharge. Otherwise the discharged water could stagnate around the unit and become a source of danger due to slipping / falling. 5.8.2 Drainage system The units all of them adopt drainage holes on the basement for the condensate draining which can leach from the pipes of hydraulic and refrig- erant circuits, and to discharge the generated water during defrosting cycles. FOR HEAT PUMP UNITS, IN PARTICULARLY COLD CLIMATES, INSTALLATION ON ELEVATION SUPPORTS IS RECOMMENDED TO ALLOW ICE TO FORM UNDER THE UNIT WITHOUT DAMAGING IT.
It is advisable to use an external tap to fill the system, which is the responsibility of the installer. There is always a service tap in the unit to be used if it is necessary to top up/ discharge the amount of water in the system or adjust the percentage of glycol. If the unit must be completely drained,first close the manual inlet and outlet shutters (not supplied) and then disconnect the pipes on the water inlet and outlet so that the liquid in the unit can drain (to make this operation easier, it is advisable to install two external drain cocks between the unit and the manual shutters on the water inlet and outlet).
CAUTION: Any devices placed nearby can cause / suffer electromagnetic disturbances to / from the unit. Be aware of this risk at the installation site. It is recommended to electrically power the unit with an adequate line and protections and use an independent cable duct.
