check and repair or, if necessary, replace any component or pipe that shows signs of
damage. Use a platform, or suitable scaffolding to work at higher levels.

All the precautions concerning the handling of refrigerant must be observed in ac-
cordance with current regulations.

The overall fire risk assessment at the place of installation (i.e. fire load calculation)
is the responsibility of the user;

Keep fire estinguishers near the machine suitable for putting out fires on electrical
equipment and, for lubricant oil of the compressor and the refrigerant;

PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT

Perform the plant connections following the indications provided in the manual:
—

It is necessary to install a water filter and a flow switch on the heat ex-

changers, otherwise the warranty shall be void;

—

During commissioning, it is mandatory to carry out a seal test on the air

of the hydraulic circuit (minimum pressure 36.3 psi and a search for leak-

ages on every joint - e.g. using leak detector foam or soap + water) before

filling it with glycol. This is to avoid the need for corrections due to leaks

caused, for example, during the transportation/handling stage (even

though the circuit is tested before leaving the Aermec factory);

— Do not bend or strike pipes containing pressurised fluids. Do not exceed the

maximum permissible pressure (PS) of the unit's water circuit;

— Before removing elements along the pressurised water circuits, intercept the

concerned section of pipe and release the fluid gradually until the pressure is
balanced with the atmospheric pressure;

— Even with the unit off, prevent the fluid in contact with the heat exchangers

exceed the temperature limits indicated in the documentation and freeze;

— Do not send liquids to the heat exchangers other than water or its mixtures

with ethylene/propylene glycol in concentrations above what is indicated in the
technical documentation;

PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

— Perform the plant connections following the indications provided in this man-

ual;

— Do not use cables with inadequate section or flying connections, not even for

limited periods or emergencies;

— Check the unit is properly earthed before starting it;
— Before opening the electrical panel, disconnect the unit from the mains by

means of the external isolator;

— In case of units with shunt capacitors, wait 3 minutes from when power supply

was disconnected from the unit before accessing inside the electrical panel;

— If the unit has components such as integrated inverters, disconnect the power

supply and wait at least 15 minutes before accessing it for maintenance opera-
tions: the internal components remain energised for this period, generating the
risk of electrocution;

— The safety devices must be maintained efficient and periodically checked as

prescribed by current regulations;

PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING THE COOLING CIRCUIT

— The overall fire risk assessment at the place of installation (i.e. fire load calcula-

tion) is the responsibility of the user;

— Keep fire estinguishers near the machine suitable for putting out fires on elec-

trical equipment and, for lubricant oil of the compressor and the refrigerant;

— The unit contains pressurised refrigerant gas: no operation may be performed

on pressurised equipment except during maintenance, which must be per-
formed by skilled and qualified personnel;

— Perform brazing or welding only on empty pipes and clear of any lubricating

oil residues; do not near flames or other heat sources to the pipes containing
refrigerant fluid;

— Do not work with naked flames near the unit;
— In order to avoid an environmental risk, make sure that any fluid leaks are recov-

ered in suitable devices in compliance with local regulations;

— Do not use your hands to control any refrigerant leaks;
— An accidental release of refrigerant may cause risk of suffocation due to a lack of

oxygen: install the machine in a well ventilated environment in accordance with
EN 378-3 and local regulations currently in force. Those who come into contact
with the machine must be equipped with a leak detector that is calibrated and
validated to reveal any used refrigerant leaks.

— The unit is fitted out with overpressure relief devices (safety valves): in the event

that these devices start, the refrigerant gas is released at high temperature and
high velocity. Prevent the gas flow from harming people or things;

— Install the unit at a distance enough from the exhaust wells;
— Keep all lubricants in properly marked containers. Do not keep flammable liq-

uids near the plant;

PREVENTIONS

— Make sure that the protections of mobile elements are correctly in place before

restarting the unit;

— Fans, motors and belt drives may be in motion: always wait for them to stop and

take appropriate precautions to prevent their activation before accessing them;

— The machine and the pipes have very hot and very cold surfaces that lead to

risk of burns;

— Before opening a machine panel, ascertain whether it is or not firmly connected

to it by hinges;

— Louvers of the heat exchangers, edges of the components and metal panels

can generate cuts;

— The installation must ensure that the temperature of the fluid entering the unit

is maintained stable and within the provided limits; therefore, pay attention to
the adjustment of any external thermal exchange and control devices (drycool-
er, evaporating towers, area valves, ...), to the adequate dimensioning of the
mass of fluid circulating in the plant (in particular when plant areas are exclud-
ed) and to install systems for the recirculation of the necessary fluid flow rate so
as to maintain the machine temperatures within the allowed limits (e.g. during
the start-up phase);

— The material used for the machine protective packaging must always be kept

out of the reach of children as it is a source of danger;

— In units with compressors in parallel, do not disable the individual compressors

for long periods;

— As this unit is intended only for installation outdoors and in an area with autho-

rised access only, there are no load limits.
