ensure no foreign bodies obstruct the fan grid.
clean the evaporator with a soft brush and a fresh water jet (disconnect the power cable), do not twist or bend
the metal blades, then to clean the discharge pipe of the condensates in order to evacuate the impurities which
could block it,
clean the outside of the unit with a solvent‐free product. A specific PAC NET cleaning kit is available as an
optional extra (see §4.3),
check that the water condensation flows out properly during the operation of the device.
check the proper operation of the regulator,
check electrical components,
check that all metal elements are grounded,
check the tightening and connections of electric cables and the cleanliness of the electrical compartment.
4.2 Additional recommendations
in relation to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED‐97/23/CE)
4.2.1 Installation and maintenance
the unit may not be installed close to combustible materials, or the air duct inlet of an adjacent building .
with some devices, it is essential to fit protection grids if the unit is installed in an area with uncontrolled access.
during installation, troubleshooting and maintenance, pipes may not be used as steps: the pipe could break
under the weight, spilling refrigerant and possibly causing serious burns.
when servicing the appliance, the composition and state of heat carrying fluid must be checked, as well as the
absence of any refrigerant.
during the annual unit sealing test in accordance with applicable legislation, the high and low pressure switches
must be checked to ensure that they are securely fastened to the coolant circuit and that they cutoff the
electrical circuit when tripped.
during maintenance work, ensure there are no traces of corrosion or oil around cooling components.
before beginning work on the cooling circuit, stop the device and wait for a few minutes before fitting the
temperature and pressure sensors. Some elements such as the compressor and piping may reach temperatures
in excess of 100°C and high pressures with the consequent risk of severe scalding.
4.2.2 Troubleshooting
all soldering work must be carried out by a someone qualified to do so.
replacement pipes must always be made of copper in compliance with standard NF EN 12735‐1.
leak detection; pressure test:
- never use oxygen or dry air, risk of fire or explosion,
- use dry nitrogen or the mixture of nitrogen and refrigerant indicated on the information plate,
- the test pressure for both the high and low pressure circuits must not exceed 42 bar.
the high pressure circuit pipes are made of copper and have a diameter equal to or greater than 1''5/8. A
certificate as indicated in §2.1 in compliance with standard NF EN 10204 will be requested from the supplier and
filed in installation technical documentation.
technical data relative to the safety requirements of the various applicable directives must be indicated on the
information plate.
This data must be recorded in the installation instructions for the device which are included in the installation
technical file: model, code, serial number, maximum and minimum OT, OP, year of manufacture, EC label,
manufacturer's address, refrigerant and weight, electrical parameters, thermo‐dynamic and acoustic
performances.
