The air conditioning system is supplied with zero ozone depleting R-410A refrigerant, which has no phase out or replacement concern. With cooling and heating performance capacity that are among the best in the market, the ActronAir units are the solution for the reduction of energy consumption, CO emission, high fuel dependency and high network grid demand.
Installation and Commissioning Guide Split Tri-Capacity 03. SAFETY PRECAUTION • Only licensed HVAC technicians* should install and service this air conditioning equipment. Improper service or alteration by an unqualified technician could result in significant and major damage to the product or property which may render your warranty null and void.
Installation and Commissioning Guide Split Tri-Capacity 04. INSTALLATION INFORMATION All service technicians handling refrigerant must be licensed to handle refrigerant gases. Recover and Recycle Refrigerants Never release refrigerant to the atmosphere! It is an offence in Australia to do so. Always recover, recycle and reuse refrigerants.
