Hand-over to the user 24 Hand-over to the user Once the test run is finished and the unit operates properly, please make sure the following is clear for the user: ▪ Make sure that the user has the printed documentation and ask him/her to keep it for future reference.
Maintenance and service 25 Maintenance and service NOTICE Maintenance MUST be done by an authorized installer or service agent. We recommend performing maintenance at least once a year. However, applicable legislation might require shorter maintenance intervals. NOTICE Applicable legislation on fluorinated greenhouse gases requires that the refrigerant charge of the unit is indicated both in weight and CO equivalent.
Maintenance and service 25.2 Maintenance safety precautions DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING WARNING Prior to start working on systems containing flammable refrigerant, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. Therefore, some instructions should be followed.
Maintenance and service 8× 5 Pull out junction connector X1A (A4P) for the fan motor in the outdoor unit before starting service operation on the inverter equipment. Be careful not to touch the live parts. (If a fan rotates due to strong wind, it may store electricity in the capacitor or in the main circuit and cause electric shock.) 6 After the service is finished, plug the junction connector back in.
Maintenance and service 3 Press BS1 to stop vacuuming mode. 25.4.2 To recover refrigerant This should be done with a refrigerant recovery unit. Follow the same procedure as for vacuuming method. DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump down the system, and there is a leak in the refrigerant circuit: ▪...
