ELECTRICAL HAZARD Strictly observe all the indications next to the pictogram.
INTRODUCTION 1.10 IDENTIFICATION OF THE UNIT Each unit is equipped with an identification plate that shows the main information of the machine. The data on the plate may differ from that shown in the technical manual as the latter contains the data of the standard units without accessories. For electrical information not present on the label, refer to the wiring diagram.
SAFETY WARNINGS ON POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TOXIC SUBSTANCES • Difluoromethane (HFC-32) 50% by weight CAS No.: 000075-10-5 • Pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) 50% by weight CAS No.: 000354-33-6 The lubricating oil used in the cooling circuit of the unit is of the polyester type. In any case, always refer to what is indicated on the compressor plate.
SAFETY MAIN TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF REFRIGERANT USED 2.5.1 Inhalation A high atmospheric concentration can cause anaesthetic effects with possible loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposures can cause abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death. Higher concentrations can cause asphyxia due to the reduced oxygen content in the atmosphere. 2.5.2 Contact with the skin Splashes of sprayed liquid can cause frost burns.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS UNIT DESCRIPTION The series heat pumps are particularly suitable for use in groundwater or geothermal probes.

INSTALLATION GENERAL WARNINGS AND USE OF SYMBOLS Before carrying out any type of operation, each operator must be perfectly familiar with operation of the machine and its controls and must have read and understood all the information contained in this manual. All operations performed on the machine must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the national legislation in force in the destination country The installation and maintenance of the machine must be carried out according to the national or local regulations in...
INSTALLATION RECEIPT AND INSPECTION When installing or servicing the unit, the rules indicated in this manual must be complied with, together with those on board the unit and, in any case, all necessary precautions must be taken. Failure to comply with these regulations may cause dangerous situations. On receiving the unit, check for any damage: the machine left the factory in perfect conditions;...
INSTALLATION UNPACKING The packaging could be dangerous for operators. It is advisable to leave the units packed during handling and to remove the packaging only at the time of installation. The unit's packaging must be removed carefully to avoid damaging the machine. The materials that compose the packaging can be of a mixed nature (wood, cardboard, nylon, etc.).
INSTALLATION POSITIONING AND MINIMUM TECHNICAL SPACES All models are designed and built for indoor installation; it is therefore absolutely necessary to avoid installing the unit outdoors. It is good practice to create a support slab of sizes appropriate to those of the unit. The units transmit a low level of vibrations to the ground; it is in any case advisable to place the antivibration supports between the base frame and the support surface.
