WORKERS' HEALTH AND SAFETY
The European Union has issued some direcves regarding the safety and health of workers, including: 89/391/CEE, 89/686/CEE, 2009/104/CE,
86/188/CEE and 77/576/CEE, and subsequent amendments which every employer is obliged to follow and have followed. We observe therefore
that:
The unit works with R32 refrigerant, which is included in the list of greenhouse gases (GWP 675) which are subject to the requirements in EU
regulaon n. 517/2014 called “F-GAS” (mandatory in the European zone). Among the provisions of this regulaon, it sets forth that operators
working on systems running with greenhouse gases be in possession of a cercaon, issued or acknowledged by the competent authories,
aesng that they have passed a test authorising them to perform this work. In parcular
• Up to 3kg total refrigerant in the appliance: category 2 cercaon.
• 3 kg and more total refrigerant in the appliance: category 1 cercaon.
The gaseous form of R32 refrigerant is heavier than air and if released into the environment, most of it tends to concentrate in poorly venlated
areas. Inhaling it can cause dizziness and sensaons of suocaon and can develop lethal gas if in contact with naked ames or hot objects (see
the refrigerant’s safety data sheet).
Pay aenon to the fact that refrigerant uids can be odourless
For any operaon on the heat pump system:

SPECIFIC R32 GAS WARNINGS
The R32 refrigerant gas:
• is odourless;
• is ammable, but only if there are naked ame;
• it may cause an explosion, but only if a given concentraon in air is reached.
It is a good pracce to follow these guidelines:
• do not smoke near the unit;
• ax a no smoking sign near the unit;
• keep the premises where the unit is installed properly aerated;
• do not pierce or burn the unit;
• do not place the unit near ignion sources, such as naked ames, electric heaters etc.;
• every extraordinary maintenance or repair on the unit must be performed by skilled technicians or qualied personnel;
• a gas leak test must be performed aer installaon.
R32 GAS CHARGE
• ensure the R32 is not contaminated by any other types of refrigerant;
• keep the gas cylinder in an upright posion when charging;
• apply the appropriate label on the unit aer charging;
• do not charge more refrigerant gas than needed;
• when charging is completed, perform leak tests before the operang test;
• once all the above operaons have been completed, a second leak test should be performed.
R32 GAS DISPOSAL
• do not dispose of the gas in areas at risk of explosive mixtures forming with air The gas should be disposed of in an appropriate torch with
backring stop device. Contact the supplier should you require operang instrucons.
SAFETY RULES FOR R32 GAS TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Before opening the unit’s packaging, ensure there are no gas leaks in the environment with an appropriate gas detector. Ensure there are no re
ignion sources near the unit.
No smoking is allowed near the unit.
Transport and storage must be performed in accordance with the naonal regulaons in force. Specically, according to ADR provisions, the total
maximum quanty by transport unit in terms of net mass for ammable gases is 333 kg.
5. INSTALLATION

POSITIONING AND MINIMUM TECHNICAL CLEARANCES
All models of the range are designed and constructed for outdoor installaons.
It is advisable to create an adequately sized support base for the unit. The units transmit a small amount of vibraons to the ground: it is none-
theless advisable to apply vibraon dampers between the base frame and support surface.
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION IS FORBIDDEN.
-
-
It is very important to avoid recirculaon between intake and delivery air, so as not to downgrade performance of the unit or even to interrupt
its normal operaon.
In this case,it is absolutely necessary to guarantee the minimum service spaces listed below.

We always invite you to make an environmental impact assessment based on the power and sound pressure data shown in chapter "Technical
data" and the sound emission limits based on the installaon area of the unit , with reference to the DPCM of 14/11/1997. An assessment must
also be made if the unit is installed in the proximity of workers according to D. LGS. 81/2008 Art. 189 and following.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
The plumbing connecons must be made in accordance with naonal and/or local regulaons; pipes can be made of steel, galvanised steel or
PVC. Pipes must be accurately sized according to the nominal water ow rate of the unit and the pressure drops of the water circuit. All pipes
must be insulated with closed-cell material of adequate thickness. The chiller must be connected to the pipes using new exible joints, not re-
used ones. The water circuit should include the following components:
• Well thermometers to monitor the circuit’s temperature.
• Manual gate valves to isolate the chiller from the water circuit.
• Metal Y lter and dirt separator (installed on the return pipe) with metal mesh no larger than 1 mm. (obligatory to mantain the validity of
the guarantee).
• Loading group and exhaust valve where necessary.

When it is required to top up the circuit or to adapt the glycol level, please use the service valve. Unscrew
and remove the cap from the service valve (A) and connect a 14 or 12 mm pipe (inside diameter - check the
valve model installed on your unit), connected to the water mains, to the hose connector and then drain the
circuit by unscrewing the specic ring nut (B). Aer the end of the operaon, reghten the ring nut (B) and
screw the cap back on (A).In any case it is recommended to use an external valve to ll the system which can
be set up by the installer. B

If the unit must be completely drained, rst close the manual inlet and outlet shuers (not supplied) and then disconnect the pipes on the water
inlet and outlet so that the liquid in the unit can drain (to make this operaon easier, it is advisable to install two external drain cocks between
the unit and the manual shuers on the water inlet and outlet).
The unit is ed with an air venng valve to automacally remove air that has built up in the circuit, prevent-
ing undesirable eects such as premature corrosion and wear, lower performance and low exchange output.
The device also features a safety funcon because, in the event of exchanger breakdown, it allows the refrig-
erant gas to escape outside, prevenng it fro being conveyed to the internal terminals.
The valve can be kept in a closed posion by closing the plug on the drain; by loosening the plug, the valve
remains in open posion and air is discharged automacally.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Check that the power supply matches the unit’s electric nominal data (voltage, phases, frequency) displayed on the rang plate on the unit’s
side panel. The electric power connecons must be made in accordance to the wiring diagram enclosed with the unit and in conformity with
naonal and internaonal standards (providing general circuit breaker, residual current devices for each line, proper earthing of the plant, etc.).
