Please read this manual carefully before installing or operating your air conditioning unit.
Check your air conditioning unit and all items against the invoice upon receiving your shipment. Inspect the unit, components and accessories for any sign of damage. If there is any damage to the unit, contact ActronAir Customer Care Department immediately on: 1300 522 722 to obtain a Goods Return Number.
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.
Variable Capacity Commercial Installation and Commissioning Guide DANGER Hazardous Voltage - Risk of Electrocution. TURN-OFF the power from main isolator before proceeding with any service work of the unit. Observe proper LOCK-OUT/ TAG-OUT (LOTO) procedures for electrical appliances in order to prevent accidental switching-on of the power supply. WARNING EC Motors are fi tted with high power capacitors and can have dangerous residual voltages at motor terminals after power has been isolated.
• Secure the power cords and control cables that goes in/out the unit. Use the cable ties provided in the control box. CAUTION • This outdoor unit is designed to match only with an ActronAir indoor unit as specifi ed in the Technical Selection Catalogue.
