to model.
Under all circumstances, the EN378 (or other applicable local safety regulation) requirements must be fulfilled.
The condensing unit is delivered under nitrogen gas pressure (1 bar) and hence it cannot be connected as it is; refer to the «installation» section for further
details.
The condensing unit must be handled with caution in the vertical position (maximum offset from the vertical : 15°)
For PED Cat I & II models: Pressure relief valve shall be mounted in refrigerant system during field installation. PRV should be mounted on receiver vessel.

3 – Installation precautions
TM
Slim Pack
Do not braze as long the condensing
unit is under pressure.
Never place the unit in a flammable
atmosphere
Place the unit in such a way that it is not
blocking or hindering walking areas,
doors, windows or similar.
PRV: For PED Cat I & II models, PRV
shall be mounted at field during
installation.
• Ensure adequate space around the unit for air
circulation and to open doors. Refer to picture1
for minimal values of distance to walls.
• Avoid installing the unit in locations which are daily
exposed to direct sunshine for longer periods.
• Avoid installing the unit in aggressive and dusty
environments.
• Ensure a foundation with horizontal surface
(less than 3° slope), strong and stable enough
to carry the entire unit weight and to eliminate
vibrations and interference.
• The unit ambient temperature may not exceed
50°C during off-cycle.
• Ensure that the power supply corresponds to the
unit characteristics (see nameplate).
• When installing units for HFC refrigerants,
use equipment specifically reserved for HFC
refrigerants which was never used for CFC or
HCFC refrigerants.
• Use clean and dehydrated refrigeration-grade
copper tubes and silver alloy brazing material.
• Use clean and dehydrated system components.
• The suction piping connected to the compressor
must be flexible in 3 dimensions to dampen
vibrations. Furthermore piping has to be done
in such a way that oil return for the compressor
is ensured and the risk of liquid slug over in
compressor is eliminated.
• Optyma condensing unit has suction and liquid
service valve with schrader port for field service
operation
3.1 – PRV Valve (Not factory fitted)
For Optyma™ Slim Pack, Condensing
units which are fall in PED cat I & II,
PRV shall be fitted (See Technical data
for PED category in Annex A).
PRV is provided as Spare part,. Refer
Coolselector2
• PRV to be fitted on liquid receiver at 3/8" NPT
Connection. (Refer Coolselector2 for PRV spare
part code). Use Locatite 554 for PRV fitment.
• Torque: 40Nm (Don't exceed given torque )
• Installer need to take care of where to blow the
leaked refrigerant. Danfoss recommended to
blow refrigerant away form condensing unit.
• Recommended to change PRV when after
discharge, Changing refrigerant
