1.6 Potential Risks
Whilst the unit has been designed to minimize any risk posed to the safety of people who will interact with it, it has not been technically
possible to eliminate completely the causes of risk. It is therefore necessary to refer to the requirements and symbolism below:
LOCATION OF
RISK
POTENTIAL
RISK
METHOD OF INJURY
PRECAUTIONS
Thermal heat
exchangers.
Small stab wounds.
Contact
Avoid any contact,
use protective gloves.
Fan and fan grilles.
Cuts, eye damage,
broken bones.
Insertion of sharp objects
through the grid while the
fans are operating.
Never put objects through the protection grilles.
Internal component:
compressors and
discharge pipes
Burns.
Contact
Avoid any contact, use protective gloves.
Internal component:
electric cables and
metallic parts
Electrocution,
severe burns.
Defect in the supply ca-
ble insulation, live metal-
lic parts.
Adequate protection of power cables, ensure
correct earthing of all metal parts.
External to unit:
unit enclosure
Poisoning,
severe burns.
Fire due to short circuit
or overheating of the
supply cable external to
unit.
Size cables and mains protection system in ac-
cordance with iee regulations.
Low pressure safety
valve.
Poisoning,
severe burns.
High evaporating pres-
sure causing a refgrig-
erant discharge during
maintenance.
Carefully check the evaporating pressure dur-
ing the maintenance operations. Use all personal
protective equipment required by the law. PPE
must also protect against gas leaks from the
safety valve. The outlet of these valves is di-
rected to avoid causing damage to persons or
goods.
High pressure safety
valve.
Poisoning,
severe burns,
hearing loss.
Activation of the high
pressure safety valve
with the refrigerant circuit
open.
If possible, do not open the refrigerant circuit
valve; carefuly check the condensing pressure;
use all the personal protective equipment re-
quired by law. PPE must also protect against gas
leaks from the safety valve. The outlet of these
valves is directed to avoid causing damage to
persons or goods.

disasters or earthquake.
Breakages, failures due
to natural disasters or
earthquake
Plan the necessary precautions both electrical
(suitable differential magneto and electrical pro-
tection of the supply lines; greatest care during the
connections of the metal parts), and mechanical
(special anchors or seismic vibrations to prevent
breakages or accidental falls ).
