General safety precautions 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: ▪ Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function, with which you can collect all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit.
General safety precautions ▪ Whether the unit is factory charged with refrigerant or non-charged, in both cases you might need to charge additional refrigerant, depending on the pipe sizes and pipe lengths of the system. ▪ ONLY use tools exclusively for the refrigerant type used in the system, this to ensure pressure resistance and prevent foreign materials from entering into the system.
Page 11
General safety precautions WARNING ▪ ONLY use copper wires. ▪ Make sure the field wiring complies with the national wiring regulations. ▪ All field wiring MUST be performed in accordance with the wiring diagram supplied with the product. ▪ NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they do NOT come in contact with the piping and sharp edges.
Page 12
General safety precautions Install power cables at least 1 meter away from televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 meter may NOT be sufficient. NOTICE ONLY applicable if the power supply is three‑phase, and the compressor has an ON/ OFF starting method.
WARNING Make sure installation, servicing, maintenance, repair and applied materials follow the instructions from Daikin (including all documents listed in “Documentation set”) and, in addition, comply with applicable legislation and are performed by qualified persons only. In Europe and areas where IEC standards apply, EN/IEC 60335-2-40 is the applicable standard.
