    INTRODUCTION This manual is an important supporting document for qualified personnel, but it is not intended to replace such personnel. READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING AND STARTING UP THE UNIT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION COULD RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, SHORT-CIRCUIT, LEAKS, FIRE OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT OR INJURE TO PEOPLE.
  • Page 10: General Description

    EWAT_B units are designed and built for cooling buildings or industrial processes. The first commissioning on the final plant must be carried out by Daikin technicians, specifically trained for this purpose. Failure to follow this start-up procedure affects the warranty of the supply.
  • Page 11 In paragraph “Additional guidelines for safe use of R32” there are provided additional information that should be added to the requirements of safety standards and building codes. Additional guidelines for safe use of R32 for equipment located in the open air Refrigerating systems sited in the open air shall be positioned to avoid leaked refrigerant flowing into a building or otherwise endangering people and property.

    MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Safety The unit must be firmly secured to the soil. It is essential to observe the following instructions: − The unit can only be lifted using the lifting points marked in red fixed to its base. − It is forbidden to access the electrical components without having opened the unit main switch and switched off the power supply.
  • Page 20 All units of the series are supplied with lifting points marked in red. Only these points may be used for lifting the unit, as shown in the following figure. Use spacing bars to prevent damage to the condensation bank. Position these above the fan grills at a distance of at least 2.5 meters.

    Installation of hydronic free-cooling piping shipped loose EWFT-B-C free cooling units, particularly those with 4 and 6 fans, may have part of the hydronic circuit piping outside the unit footprint (see Fig.16). The piping outside the unit footprint is disassembled after production test and shipped loose (pre-assembled for quick installation) to avoid possible piping breakage and problems during transport of the unit.
  • Page 28: Noise And Sound Protection

    Noise and sound protection The unit is a source of noise mainly due to rotation of compressors and fans. The noise level for each model size is listed in sales documentation. If the unit is correctly installed, operated and maintained, the noise emission level does not require any special protection device to operate continuously close to the unit without any risk.
