Air/Water heat pumps with axial fans 5.7.7 Service sleeves In the hydraulic circuit of the unit, 2 service sleeves with gap (1/4”G) are installed dowstream and upstream of the circulator (ref. SM unit functional diagram paragraph 5.8.2, 5.8.3 and 5.8.4); when removing/mounting the cap, use 2 spanners as shown in the figure to avoid damaging the pipes.
Air/Water heat pumps with axial fans 5.9 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Check that the power supply matches the unit’s electric nominal data (voltage, phases, frequency) displayed on the rating plate on the unit’s side panel. The electric power connections must be made in accordance to the wiring diagram enclosed with the unit and in conformity with national and international standards (providing general circuit breaker, residual current devices for each line, proper earthing of the plant, etc.).
The connection terminal block is located under the machine cover. The terminal block must be connected respecting the notes below. The con- nections shown below are standard. Other connections are given in the MCO manual of the on-machine control of the i-32V5 (see "USER AND INSTALLER CONFIGURATION TABLES"), according to the configurations adopted.
