WARNING
If a fault exists that could compromise safety, Do NOT connect electrical supply to
the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault CANNOT be corrected
immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary
solution MUST be used. This MUST be reported to the owner of the equipment so all
parties are advised.
Initial safety checks MUST include that:
▪capacitors are discharged: this MUST be done in a safe manner to avoid
possibility of sparking,
▪NO live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering
or purging the system.
WARNING
Make sure that the refrigerating piping and components are installed in a position
where they are unlikely to be exposed to any corroding substance.
WARNING
Make sure installation, testing and applied materials comply with applicable
legislation (on top of the instructions described in the Daikin documentation).
WARNING
Make sure the work site environment is clean and safe to work in. Beware of spilled
fluids, like water, oil or other substances.
Protect bystanders from injury and property from possible damage cause by service
works.
WARNING
If any work is to be conducted on the refrigerating equipment or any associated parts
which involves brazing, an appropriate dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher MUST be
present.
When charging the unit, an appropriate dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher MUST be
present.
WARNING
No person carrying out work in relation to a refrigerating system which involves
exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may
lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette
smoking, MUST be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing,
removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the
surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to
be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. "No
Smoking" signs MUST be displayed.
WARNING
Tear apart and throw away plastic packaging bags so that nobody, especially NOT
children, can play with them. Possible consequence: suffocation.
WARNING

WARNING
Make sure the total refrigerant charge is in accordance with the room size in which
the unit is installed: please consult the detailed instructions on charging and allowed
room sizes in the installation manual.
WARNING
▪NEVER mix different refrigerants or allow air to enter the refrigerant system.
▪NEVER charge recovered refrigerant from another unit. Use recovered refrigerant
only on the same unit where it was recovered from, or have it recycled at a
certified facility.
WARNING
When reconnecting a connector to the PCB, make sure to connect it on the correct
location and do NOT apply force, as this may damage the connector or connector
pins of the PCB.
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment.
Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation.
WARNING
Removal of refrigerant MUST be according to the following:
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs, be sure to remove the
refrigerant from the system first. The refrigerant charge MUST be recovered into the
correct recovery cylinders.
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks,
ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:
▪Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen
deficiency.
▪Toxic gas might be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire.
WARNING
▪Under no circumstances, potential sources of ignition SHALL be used in the
searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other
detector using a naked flame) MUST NOT be used.
▪Ensure that the detector is NOT a potential source of ignition and is suitable for
the detection of R32.
▪If a leak is suspected, all naked flames MUST be removed or extinguished.
▪Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use
of detergents containing chlorine MUST be avoided as the chlorine may react
with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
▪If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant
MUST be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut‑off valves) in
a part of the system remote from the leak.
▪Only use the electronic leak tester for R32. The old flame leak tester CANNOT be
used on a system with HFC refrigerant because there is no chlorine component in
the refrigerant. In case of R32 (HFC) refrigerant, any flame in contact with
(leaking) refrigerant is extremely dangerous.

WARNING
▪In order to prevent oxygen deficiency and R32 combustion, keep the room well-
ventilated for a healthy work environment. Do NOT work in a confined space. If a
refrigerant leak is detected in a confined room or an inadequately ventilated
location, do NOT start the work until the area has been ventilated appropriately.
▪If the work area is NOT located in the open air, make sure the work area is
adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any brazing.
The ventilation MUST continue to operate during the period that the work is
carried out to prevent accumulation of refrigerant in the work area. The
ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably
ventilate to the open air.
WARNING
Ensure that no external live wiring is exposed while charging, recovering or purging
the system. Sparks created when live wiring is short-circuited might ignite the
refrigerant if it is leaked into the room while charging, recovering or purging the
system.
WARNING
Ensure that the unit is properly earthed prior to conducting maintenance or service
or charging the system with refrigerant. Do NOT earth the unit to a utility pipe, surge
absorber, or telephone earth. Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shock.
WARNING
▪ONLY use copper wires.
▪Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable legislation.
▪All field wiring MUST be performed in accordance with the wiring diagram
supplied with the product.
▪NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they do NOT come in contact with
the piping and sharp edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the
terminal connections.
▪Make sure to install earth wiring. Do NOT earth the unit to a utility pipe, surge
absorber, or telephone earth. Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock.
▪Make sure to use a dedicated power circuit. NEVER use a power supply shared by
another appliance.
▪Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit breakers.
▪Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure to do so may cause
electrical shock or fire.
▪When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure it is compatible with the
inverter (resistant to high frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening
of the earth leakage protector.
WARNING
Make sure the markings on the unit remain visible and legible after inspection or
repair work. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected.

▪Read the operation instructions of the recovery unit prior to connecting the
recovery unit. Verify the recovery unit is suited for R32 refrigerant, check that it is
in good working condition, has been properly maintained and that any associated
electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant
release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
▪Do NOT overfill the refrigerant cylinder, confirm with the supplier of the
refrigerant cylinder about maximum filling ratio if NOT mentioned on the
refrigerant cylinder itself. Generally the maximum filling amount should be
limited to 60% of the maximum volume of the cylinder.
▪Do NOT exceed the maximum working pressure of the refrigerant cylinder, NOT
even temporarily.
▪When the cylinders have been filled correctly, and the refrigerant recovery
process is completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are
removed from site promptly and all stop valves on the equipment are (kept)
closed.
▪The recovered refrigerant MUST be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the
correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do NOT
mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially NOT in cylinders.
▪Recovered refrigerant MUST NOT be charged into another refrigerant system
unless it has been cleaned and checked.
WARNING
If compressor is to be removed, ensure that the compressor has been evacuated to
an acceptable level to make sure that flammable refrigerant does NOT remain within
the lubricant. The evacuation process MUST be carried out prior to returning the
compressor to the supplier. During the refrigerant recovery, confirm that the
crankcase heater of the compressor body is energized to accelerate this process.
When oil is drained from a system, it MUST be carried out safely.
WARNING
Make sure the ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are
NOT obstructed.
