Installation When connecting the water pipes, please follow the instructions below: When the water pipe is connected to the unit, it must be connected to the connector or flange for easy removal when required. Recommend to use hose to attach water outlet and inlet to minimize movement. Water pipes should be properly supported to avoid having their weight directly to the unit and the brazed plate heat exchanger.

3.2 Commissioning If the wiring of the unit has been carried out in accordance with Hitachi standard wiring instructions, the operation test can be carried out as follows: 1. Press the magnetic switch of the pump to operate water system and check the operation status.
Commissioning Attention Noise is produced when compressor stops operation. This is caused by the high and low pressure balance of the compressor during shutdown, which causes the orbiting scroll to rotate. This is a normal phenomenon. After the check valve acts for a few seconds, the noise will stop. ...
