About the refrigerant
CAUTION
See
7] to acknowledge all
related safety instructions.
This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Do NOT vent
gases into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant type: R32
Global warming potential (GWP) value: 675
Periodical inspections for refrigerant leaks may be required
depending on the applicable legislation. Contact your installer for
more information.
NOTICE
Applicable legislation on
fluorinated greenhouse gases
requires that the refrigerant charge of the unit is indicated
both in weight and CO
2
equivalent.
Formula to calculate the quantity in CO
2
equivalent
tonnes:
GWP value of the refrigerant × total refrigerant
charge [in kg]/1000
Contact your installer for more information.
6.2.1
About the refrigerant leakage sensor
WARNING
The R32 refrigerant leakage sensor must be replaced after
every detection or at the end of its lifetime. ONLY
authorised persons may replace the sensor.
NOTICE
The R32 refrigerant leakage sensor is a semiconductor
detector which may incorrectly detect substances other
than R32 refrigerant. Avoid using chemical substances
(e.g. organic solvents, hair spray, paint) in high
concentrations, in the close proximity of the SV unit
because this may cause misdetection by the R32
refrigerant leakage sensor.
NOTICE
Functionality of the safety measures are periodically
automatically checked. In case of malfunction, an error
code will be displayed on the user interface.
INFORMATION
The sensor has a lifetime of 10 years. The user interface
displays error "
CH-22
" 6 months before the end of the
sensor lifetime and error "
CH-23
" after the end of the
sensor lifetime. For more information, see the reference
guide of the user interface and contact your dealer.
