In particular, failure to observe the safety notes
may pose the following risks:
nThe failure of important unit functions.
nThe failure of prescribed methods of mainte-
nance and repair.
nDanger to people on account of electrical and
mechanical effects.
1.5 Safety-conscious working
The safety notes contained in this manual, the
existing national regulations concerning accident
prevention as well as any internal company
working, operating and safety regulations must be
observed.
1.6 Safety notes for the operator
The operational safety of the units and compo-
nents is only assured providing they are used as
intended and in a fully assembled state.
nThe units and components may only be set up,
installed and maintained by qualified per-
sonnel.
nProtective covers (grille) over moving parts
must not be removed from units that are in
operation.
nDo not operate units or components with
obvious defects or signs of damage.
nContact with certain unit parts or components
may lead to burns or injury.
nThe units and components must not be
exposed to any mechanical load, extreme
levels of humidity or extreme temperature.
nSpaces in which refrigerant can leak sufficient
to load and vent. Otherwise there is danger of
suffocation.
nAll housing parts and device openings, e.g. air
inlets and outlets, must be free from foreign
objects, fluids or gases.
nThe units must be inspected by a service tech-
nician at least once annually. Visual inspec-
tions and cleaning may be performed by the
operator when the units are disconnected from
the mains.
1.7 Safety notes for
installation, maintenance and
inspection
nAppropriate hazard prevention measures must
be taken to prevent risks to people when per-
forming installation, repair, maintenance or
cleaning work on the units.
nThe setup, connection and operation of the
units and its components must be undertaken
in accordance with the usage and operating
conditions stipulated in this manual and comply
with all applicable regional regulations.
nRegional regulations and laws as well as the
Water Ecology Act (WHG) must be observed.
nOnly install and store the units in rooms larger
than 4 m2. With a failure to comply, leaks may
result in the room filling with a flammable mix-
ture! The minimum room size of 4 m2 required
for installation and storage pertains to the basic
fill quantity of the unit. This varies according to
the installation type and total fill quantity of the
system. The calculation must take place in
accordance with valid DIN standards. Make
sure that the installation site is suitable for safe
unit operation.
nThe electrical power supply should be adapted
to the requirements of the units.
nUnits may only be mounted at the points pro-
vided for this purpose at the factory. The units
may only be secured or mounted on stable
structures, walls or floors.
nMobile units must be set up securely on suit-
able surfaces and in an upright position. Sta-
tionary units must be permanently installed for
operation.
nThe units and components should not be oper-
ated in areas where there is an increased risk
of damage. Observe the minimum clearances.
nThe units and components must be kept at an
adequate distance from flammable, explosive,
combustible, abrasive and dirty areas or
atmospheres.
nSafety devices may not be modified or
bypassed.
1.8 Unauthorised modification
and changes
Modifications or changes to units and components
are not permitted and may cause malfunctions.
Safety devices may not be modified or bypassed.
Original replacement parts and accessories
authorised by the manufactured ensure safety. The
use of other parts may invalidate liability for
resulting consequences.
1.9 Intended use
Depending on the model, the equipment and the
additional fittings with which it is equipped is only
intended to be used as an air-conditioner for the
purpose of cooling or heating the air in an
enclosed room.
Any different or additional use shall be classed as
non-intended use. The manufacturer/supplier
assumes no liability for damages arising from such
use. The user bears the sole risk in such cases.
Intended use also includes working in accordance
with the operating and installation instructions and
complying with the maintenance requirements.
