•To avoid any corrosive process in the evaporator battery, the unit can not be installed
in an acidic or alkaline environmentPara evitar cualquier proceso corrosivo en la batería
evaporadora no se podrá instalar la unidad en ambiente ácido o alcalino.
In addition, the SIBERIA models must take into account the following:
•The arrangement of the air ducts must be of an adequate size and the loss of load of the
ducts must not exceed the available pressure of the installed fans.
•The aspiration and impulsion of the equipment will be installed at a sufficient distance
between them so that undesired recirculation can not occur.
•It is also desirable to provide a removable door or plate in the outdoor air intake duct to
be able to check its condition and proceed to clean any dirt that may be trapped in the
air inlet of the unit.
•Leave at least 1 meter of unused space around the equipment to facilitate personnel
access and maintenance operations.
1.3. OPERATING CONDITIONS
Water physical and chemical parameters must be in between:
•PH ......................................................... 7,2 a 7,8
•Residual chlorine................................... 1 a 2 ppm
•Alkalinity ............................................... 80-125 ppm
•Total dissolved solids ............................ <=3000 mg/l
•Hardness ............................................... 200-300 ppm
The limits established for working conditions in order to guarantee the proper operation of the
equipment are:
•Maximum condensation water inlet temperature.: 35 °C.
•Maximum input air condensation:........................40 °C.
•Maximum input water pressure:...........................3,5 bar.
The primary hydraulic circuit, used to heat the pool water, must not be galvanized steel
or aluminum. Corrosion problems may appear due to galvanic corrosion
•The ALASKA models have been designed for outdoor installation (never indoors).

The operating conditions will influence the performance of the equipment and the power data
provided in the data sheet may vary, if these placement recommendations do not occur. It is
extremely important that the minimum water flow indicated in the technical sheet is
guaranteed. If this flow is reduced, the compressor dew point is higher, and the energy
consumption is higher.

Installation example of the SIBERIA equipment with centrifugal fan for indoor installation only:
It is necessary to make the duct network so that the air collected by the machine to operate the
refrigeration circuit, never return to the machine, and must be expelled to the street. The
machine must be located exclusively inside.
In this example of installation it can be seen that the technical room is perfectly ventilated
through a grid of sufficient size to guarantee the correct flow of air through the evaporator. And
that the driving air is driven outside.

ENGLISH
If the distance between the machine and the outside air is too high, a duct can be connected
directly to the evaporator inlet, as long as the nominal air flow of the equipment is
guaranteed. The limit of loss of load of these models Indoor is 120 Pa, and if this value is not
respected, the heat pump can be damaged. For greater load losses available, consult Fluidra
Comercial.
5.4 CONDENSATION DRAIN
The machine will naturally generate condensation water. This water will be gathered inside the
machine and will come out through a condensation drain located on the frame of the
equipment. The installation must have a drain to evacuate such condensation water.
The condensation drain is identified by this decal on the machine:
It is advised to install a siphon in the condensation drainage to prevent liquid and odours
returns.

6. REGULATOR
6.1 MAIN FUNCTIONS
The NA8981 regulator is ideal to control air-water heat pumps with on or two compressors. It is
equipped with temperature probes (water input and output, evaporator defrost, compressor
discharge and ambient temperature). It also has safety sensors (high and low pressure switches,
a flow switch to control water flow through the equipment, compressor consumption meter and
internal fan thermal switch).
Its main functions are shown below:
•TEMPERATURE DISPLAY AND CONTRILLING: The display shows the water temperature at
all times and the user can choose the setpoint between the operating limits. The settings of
the temperature probes can also be displayed.
•AUTO DEFROST CONTROLLING: It has an optimized design of logical defrost controlling and
can defrost effectively in order to ensure the machine can run normally at low temperature.
•EXHAUST TEMPERATURE PROTECTION: If the discharge temperature of the compressor is
too high, the machine will stop and an alarm will appear on the display (A24 or A25).
•HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE PROTECTION: The machine is equipped with high and low
pressure switches that stop the machine and displays an alarm if either pressure exceeds its
limits (A11, A12, A13 or A14).
•DIFFERENT PERIOD OF OPERATION: The regulator has two operating modes: "Heating" and
"Schedule programming". In the " Cooling" mode, the machine will operate until the water
temperature reaches the setpoint temperature set by the user. In the "Schedule
programming" mode, as many as three machine operating periods can be scheduled (See
STARTING BASIC OPERATION).
•PHASE MISSING PROTECTION AND SEQUENCE PROTECTION: When any of the 3 phases
supplying the equipment fails or the 3 phases have been connected incorrectly, the machine
will stop and an alarm will appear on the display (A91).
•DISPLAY OF COMPRESSOR CONSUMPTION AND PROTECTION VERSUS EXCESS
CONSUMPTION: The regulator shows compressor consumption (A) on the screen. If
consumption is excessive, the machine will stop and an alarm will appear on the display
(A93-A94).
•SEQUENTIAL COMPRESSOR START-UP: The regulator starts up the compressors in sequence
to avoid excess peak power use in the line.
•WINTER ANTI-FREEZE PROTECTION: This protection allows the regulator to recirculate the
water by starting up the water treatment pump so the water does not remain in the frozen
pipes (See PROTECTION SYSTEMS).
•TRIP CIRCUIT: The regulator uses this function to protect the machine in the event of faults
affecting the contactors or an error in the supply line.
•EMERGENCY OPERATION FUNCTION: If communication fails in the LCD display, the machine
can operate with the most recently saved settings.
•EMERGENCY STOP: The equipment is prepared with an emergency push-button with a

ALASKA / SIBERIA / BERING SERIES · Cooler EF AIR/WATER –WATER/WATER

Pag: 19
ENGLISH
manual interlock and reset that cuts off the general power to the machine if pressed.
•MINIMUM VOLTAGE STOP: The machine is protected against severe voltage drops in the
line by an automatic cut-off device in the main circuit breaker; this device triggers when
voltage drops to a certain level below the nominal voltage.
6.2 MAIN TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
•Power supply: 230V±10% or AC 380V±10% (See circuit diagram)
•Maximum output capacity:
oWater pump ................... 30A/220VAC (Connecting the water treatment pump
to a contactor is recommended)
oFan:................................. 10A/220VAC
oCompressor 1: ................ 5A/220VAC
