13EN i-KIR2 MTD
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS I A
The heat pumps must be installed downstream of a group-
operated switch (QF1, see wiring diagram) on the mains
power supply line, as required by the standards in force in
the country where the unit is installed. This switch must be
installed by authorised personnel.
For all electrical work, refer to the electrical wiring diagrams
in this manual.
It is also recommended to check that:
- The characteristics of the mains electricity supply are ade-
quate for the power ratings indicated in the electrical spec-
ifications below, also bearing in mind the possible use of
other equipment at the same time.
Power to the unit must be turned on only after installa-
tion work (plumbing and electrical) has been completed.
All electrical connections must be carried out by quali-
fied personnel in accordance with legislation in force in
the country concerned
Respect instructions for connecting phase, neutral and
earth conductors..
The power line should be fitted upstream with a suitable
device to protect against short-circuits and leakage to
earth, isolating the installation from other equipment.
Voltage must be within a tolerance of ±10% of the rated
power supply voltage for the unit. If these parameters are
not respected, contact the electricity supply company.
For electrical connections, use double insulation cable
in conformity with legislation in force in the country con-
cerned.
A thermal overload switch and a lockable mains dis-
connect switch, in compliance with the CEI-EN stan-
dards (contact opening of at least 3mm), with ade-
quate switching and residual current protection
capacity based on the electrical data table shown
below, must be installed as near as possible to the
appliance.
An efficient earth connection is obligatory.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage
caused by the failure to correctly earth the unit.
The maximum impedance allowed by the unit (Zmax) is
0.354Ω for model i-KIR2 0031 and 0.33Ω for model i-
KIR2 0061.
The unit can be connected if the mains power supply
impedance is ≤0.354Ω for model i-KIR2 0031 and
≤0.33Ω for model i-KIR2 0061.
Do not use water pipes to earth the unit.
WARNING
• The power supply current rating must be equal to the
sum of the current drawn by the air-water heat pump
and the current drawn by any other electrical appli-
ances.
If the contracted current rating is insufficient, make
sure this is adapted accordingly.
• If the voltage is low and the air-water heat pump has
difficulty starting, contact your electricity supplier to
have the voltage increased.
How to connect the cables to the terminal
Pay attention during wiring operations
• When stripping a main cable, always use special tools
such as wire strippers. If no specific tool is available, strip
the wires carefully using a knife, etc.
(1) Use crimp-on terminals with insulating sleeves as illus-
trated in the figure below for connecting the wires to the
terminal block.
(2) Securely fasten the crimp-on terminals to the wires using
a special tool, so that the wires don’t come free.
(3) Use the cables specified, connect them securely and in
such a way that they don’t exert pressure on the termi-
nals.
(4) Use a suitable screwdriver to tighten the screws on the
terminals. Don’t use damaged screwdrivers, otherwise
the screw heads may also be damaged and the screws
cannot be tightened correctly.
(5) Don’t over-tighten the screws on the terminals, otherwise
they may break.
Make sure a dedicated power supply with residual current
circuit breaker is used.
In accordance with the following designations, use cables
with wire sizes as described in the table below.
The power cable must be approved in compliance with IEC
60245 IEC57(H05RN-F)
As concerns all-pole disconnection, the product requires a
hard-wired overcurrent protection device in compliance with
wiring standards and relevant national requirements. The
classification of this device must be suitable for the product
specifications.
