of lighting rod and telephone. Otherwise, it may cause
electrical shock.The earth wire should be special one (with the
color of yellow and green)
Use the designated cables and connect the cables properly to
make sure no external force will act on the terminal. If
connecting or fixing is not perfect, it will cause heat up or fire.
Fix the cover for electric box and control board perfectly.
Otherwise, it will cause fire or electrical shock.
Page
During pump down operation, stop the compressor before
taking off the piping.
Removal of the piping while compressor is running will mix
the air in the system, cause abnormal high pressure of the
refrigeration cycle and result in explosion and injury.
Relocation/Move
Operation in this condition will cause short circuit and
electrical shock or fire.
Prevent the the electrical components from cleaning with
water or wetted by water.
It is strictly forbidden the personnel other than
professionals to disassemble, repair or modify the unit.
Improper disassembling or repair may result in abnormal
operation, thus cause injury, electrical shock or fire.
The safety devices are equipped in this unit. The change
of setting may disable the safety shutdown and cause the
unit burst or fire.
The high speed fans may cause injury.Do not insert
fingers, sticks, or other objects into the air vent of unit
panels.
Consult professionals in the case of the tripping of earth leakage
breaker.
When water entering into the electric box, shutdown the power
and the earth leakage breaker.
Forcible power recovery may cause electrical shock or
fire.
⑴In case of abnormal operation, shut down the unit and turn
off the earth leakage breaker. The continuous operation of unit
under abnormal conditions will cause electrical shock or fire.
⑵Consult with your construction side immediately when the
warning light turning on.

personnel injury.
Do not install the unit in a place where the flammable gases
may leak.
The leaked flammable gas accumulating surrounding of
the unit may cause fire.
Form a refrigeration cycle within the application standards of
specification.
Formation a refrigeration cycle beyond the boundaries of
specification may cause explosion, smoke, ignition,or
short circuit.
Condensation of moisture or frosting may occur on the suction
piping.
Do heat insulation work. Otherwise the water will make
surroundings wet.
Handle the unit with care. Do not turn over the unit when
transportation.
The unit is a heavy load, keep vertical position when
moving the unit with forklift truck. Improper loading
may lead falling and cause injury.
Precautions should be noted when the unit is operated at the
first time.
When the unit is operated for the first time, please fix the
unit on the foundation and let it stand for at least 2 hours
before turning it on.
Ensure to install an earth leakage breaker with the designated
capacity.
Make it sure to follow

Do not touch electrical components with wet hand.
Check the installation platform periodically.
Do not climb or put other objects on the unit. Do not operate the unit when the service valve is closed.
Consult professionals when disposing of the unit.
Recover all the refrigerant before disposal.
6
When removing the fin guard of the condenser,do not touch the
fin.
A spark from switches may lead to ignition, thus
catching fire.
Touching the fin and sliding along the fin may cause
skin cut by the fin edge.
The refrigerant in the unit must be recovered. The
release of refrigerant into the air will pollute the
environment. Consult with professionals for recycle or
disposal.
Safety Precautions
Operating Precautions
Disposal
Do not touch the high temperature parts of unit with hand.
Check the operation of earth leakage breaker periodically.
Page
Use of a defective earth leakage breaker will disable the
safety shutdown, which may cause electrical shock or
fire.
The use of a deteriorated platform may lead to the
collapse or fall of the unit, thus causing injury.
Climbing or placing objects on the unit may result in the
collapse or fall of the unit, thus causing injury.
Operating while closing the high pressure service valve
leads the abnormal high pressure. It may cause the
explosion.
Take care of the liquid refrigerant when open the refrigerant
cycle.
Turn off the power supply when conducting maintenance
and inspection.
Applying current when doing the cleaning or carrying
out maintenance and inspection may cause electrical
shock, injury, or burn.
The refrigerant will spray out when opening the service
valve. The refrigerant may generate toxic gases when it
contacts flames.
Do not handle switches with wet hand. Otherwise, it
may cause the electrical shock.
Because of the high temperature, Touch with compressor
or discharge piping will hurt your hand.
If the unit is disposed of while it is still filled
with refrigerant and oil, the unit may cause fire
and explosion.
Do not use a flammable aerosol spray near the unit or do not put
combustible materials near the unit.
Make it sure to follow

Nominal working conditions: evaporation temperature -7 ° C, suction temperature 18 ° C, condenser inlet air temperature (dry
bulb temperature) 32 ° C.
Under the system that operates at evaporating temperature about -5℃for long time, low temperature make-up gas unit,which
runs in the high load condition of compressor easily resulting in the compressor overload and burn-out.The compressor motor of
the low-temperature make-up gas unit is configured according to the low-temperature load and the motor capacity is smaller than
that of the medium-temperature compressor with the same number of HP, so it is easier to burn out when overload occurs.
The cooling capacity generated by the low-temperatur gas make-up unit in the middle temperature state (-5°C~-15°C) is
equivalent to the cooling capacity of medium-temperature units with the same HP (in the medium-temperature state, the
compressor will be overloaded, and make-up gas is controlled by discharge temp) . As the evaporation temperature decreases, the
discharge gas temperature increases, and the amount of gas supplementation gradually increases. When the evaporation
temperature is below -25 °C, the supercooling effect is manifested.

Following tips are the recommendations for the economical use of the condensing unit, for your reference.
Cooling capacity greatly varies depending on application conditions.
1.Minimize the pressure drop in piping while ensure the oil return rate.
Reference: Rates of capacity change per pressure loss by 1°C (in suction pipe)
Evaporating temp (°C)
Reference: Rates of capacity change per pressure loss by 1°C (in discharge pipe)
2.Increase evaporating temperatures by selecting a evaporator with sufficient capacity.
3.Do not block with food, etc. the cool air outlet and inlet of the refrigerator (freezer) or showcase.
4.Open and close the door of the refrigerator (freezer) as quick as possible (do not keep the door open unnecessarily to prevent cool air from running away)
5.Keep the condenser clean by doing the cleaning periodically to prevent clogging.

Tips on the Effective Use of the Unit
For Economical Use
Compressor sump temperature analysis
After the compressor runs smoothly, please make sure that the operation condition of compressor is not in the liquid return area
according to the following table. If the liquid returned is too much, please adjust the expansion valve.
Cooling capacity decreases by 3 to 6% as evaporating temperature (temperature-conversion value of the pressure measured at the entrance to unit) drops by
1°C. As condensing temperature rises by 5°C, of the pressure measured at the entrance to unit) drops by 1°C. As condensing temperature rises by 5°C,
cooling capacity decreases by about 9 to 18%, with the increase of power consumption.
