    3 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 Safety Warning This section describes important safety information which can help to prevent injury or property damage to the user or other people. To ensure safe use and to avoid injury and property damage to you and others, please be sure to observe the following safety precautions.
  • Page 11 The sensor needs to be reliably installed according to the installation instructions and be firmly fixed in a position that is easy to maintain. Otherwise, electric shock or a fire may occur. The sensor must be installed by professionals according to local regulations and installation instructions.
  • Page 12 Do not block the refrigerant leakage alarm. Otherwise, it cannot detect refrigerant leakage, and a fire may occur. Beeping of the buzzer indicates refrigerant leakage or a unit error. If the refrigerant leaks, a fire may occur. Therefore, ventilate the area and dissipate the refrigerant as soon as possible.
  • Page 13 CAUTION The sensor must be replaced once leakage occurs or the service life ends. Only professionals can replace the sensor. During the installation and debugging of the air conditioner, avoid refrigerant leakage or discharge. Otherwise, the refrigerant leakage alarm may produce an alarm.
  • Page 14 ● Organic solvents/chlorine-containing gases Volatile organic compounds, alcohol, and chlorine- containing gases may cause the sensor to give false alarms. When a structure is built or reconstructed, paint and wax will produce a large amount of organic solvents. Therefore, before sensor installation, ensure that the area is dry and ventilated.
