Safety 2.7 Safety regulations Refrigerant data Safety data: R410A Toxicity Contact with skin R410A vapors can irritate the skin and eyes. In liquid form, it can freeze skin on contact. If contact with skin occur, flush the exposed area with lukewarm water until all of the chemical is removed.
Page 8
Safety General precautions Do not inhale concentrated vapours. Their concentration in the atmo- sphere should not exceed the minimum preset values and should be maintained below the professional threshold. Being more weighty than the air, the vapour concentrates on the bottom, in narrow areas. There- fore, the exhaust system must work at low level.

Safety Refrigerant oil data Safety data:Polyvinylether oil (PVE) Classification Not harmful Contact with skin May cause slight irritation. Does not require first aid measures. It isrec- ommended to follow usual personal hygiene measures, including wash- ing the exposed skin with soap and water several times a day. It is also recommended to wash your overalls at least once a week.

Installation Water connections Safety Differential Pressure Switch Water Piping A safety differential pressure switch is factory mounted Local authorities can supply the installer with the proper between water inlet and outlet piping of evaporator, in order building and safety codes required for safe and proper instal- to ensure adequate water flow to evaporator before starting lation.
Installation 4.3 Pressure Drop in Tubes and Hydraulic connection Accessories The water inlet/outlet fittings shall conform to the instructions provided by the plates affixed neat the connection points. To determine the appropriated pipe section, see table 1 which shows the values of pressure drop for various water flows and the diameter of standard copper pipes for hydrau- lic installations.
Installation Power supply Electrical connections The unit must be installed on site according to the Before carrying out any operations on the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC), the Low Voltage electrical system, make sure that the unit is Directive (2006/95/EC), the Electromagnetic Interference deenergised.
Start-up 5.2 Start-up START-UP On MQH heat pump unit the first start up must be Start-up sequence: done by an authorized technician. Following Turn on the main switch disconnector (at least 4 hours suggestions should be applied in order to do the before).
Start-up 5.3 Checking the operation Check the following: The temperature of the water entering the evaporator. The temperature of the water leaving the evaporator. The level of the water flow rate in the evaporator, if possible. The current absorption upon the start of the compressor and in case of stabilised operation. The fan's current absorption.
Control System MINICHILLER CONTROL During the normal operation the current value of entering water temperature is displayed flashing alternatively with Operating instructions the current status. To display other useful data, go to 6.1.1 Before start-up level l, use the ^ button to scroll the menu, and use the > button to select the display value.

Maintenance MAINTENANCE Planned maintenance Carefully read the "Safety" section of this manual before carrying out any maintenance operations. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmo- Operations sphere while the refrigeration circuits are being drained. Use appropriate recovery equip- ment. When the recovered refrigerant cannot be re-used, return it to the manufacturer.
Maintenance Refrigerant charge Compressors use PVE oil. During maintenance operations on the compressor, or if you have to open the refrigerant circuit in any point, remember Do not inject refrigerant liquid into the LP side of that this type of oil is highly hygroscopic, and the circuit.
