1 - INTRODUCTION
The VECTIOS
POWER TM
range consist of autonomous and
compact air-air units of horizontal design, rooftop type. They
include inside all the components required for providing the
proper air conditioning to the installation.
●
IPJ series: Units for reversible heat pump operation.
The range of capacities of these units allows the air conditioning
of medium and large surface areas used for business or industry.
The unit is connected directly to an air distribution ductwork
without additional elements or equipment, pipes, cables, etc.
taking no
fl
oor space at all. This design reduces the cost of
installation, facilitates a quick connection and ensures reliable
operation.
After manufacturing, all units are charged with refrigerant
and are tested at the factory, verifying the correct operation
of all their components within the operating range for which
they are intended.
The units comply with European Directives:
●
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (MD)
●
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC)
●
Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (LVD)
●
Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (Category 2) (PED)
●
RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS)
●
Eco-design Directive 2009/125/EC (ECO-DESIGN)
●
Energy Labelling Directive 2017/1369/EU (ECO-LABELLING)
●
Harmonised Standard: EN 378-2:2012 (Refrigerating systems
and heat pumps - Safety and environmental requirements).
Technicians who install, commission, operate and service the
unit must possess the necessary training and certi
fi
cations,
understand the instructions given in this manual and be familiar
with the speci
fi
c technical characteristics of the installation site.
2 - SAFETY ADVISE
To avoid any risk of accident during installation, commissioning
or maintenance, it is obligatory to take into consideration the
following speci
fi
cations for the units: refrigerated circuits under
pressure, refrigerant presence, electrical voltage presence and
implantation place.
Because of all of this, only quali
fi
ed and experienced personnel
can perform maintenance tasks or unit repairs.
It is required to follow the recommendations and
instructions in this brochure, the labels, and the speci
fi
c
instructions.
Compliance with the norms and regulations in e
ff
ect is
mandatory. It is recommended to consult the competent
authorities regarding the applicable regulations for
users of units or components under pressure. The
characteristics of these units or components are
included on the plates of characteristics or in the
regulatory documentation provided with the product.
In case of a leak:
●
Toxicity: According to EN 378-1, R-410A belongs to the A1/
A1 group, i.e. with high safety both in the mix and also in the
case of a leak.
●
Although it is not toxic, in case of a leak to atmospheric
pressure the liquid phase evaporates. The resulting vapours
are still hazardous because they are heavier than air and
can force the latter out of the machine rooms. If refrigerant is
accidentally released, ventilate the room with fans.
●
Although it is not
fl
ammable, keep them away from open
fl
ames (e.g. cigarettes) as temperatures of over 300°C cause
their vapours to break down and form phosgene, hydrogen
fl
uoride, hydrogen chloride and other toxic compounds. These
compounds may produce severe physiological consequences
if accidentally inhaled or swallowed.
●
To detect leaks, an electronic leak detector, an ultraviolet lamp
or soapy water must be used . Flame detectors do not help.
●
Immediately repair any refrigerant leak, using a recovery
unit speci
fi
c for R-410A that avoids a possible mixture of
refrigerants and/or oils.
The compressor and line surfaces can reach
temperatures above 100ºC causing burns to the body.
In the same fashion, under certain conditions these
surfaces can reach very cold temperatures that can
cause freezing risks.
During any handling, maintenance or service operations,
the technicians involved must be equipped with safety
gloves, glasses, shoes, insulating clothing, etc
Caution: Before intervening in the unit, verify that the
main power to the unit is cut o
ff
. An electric shock can
cause personal damage. The main disconnect switch
is located in the unit’s electrical cabinet.

Refrigerant
Ensure that refrigerant is never released to the atmosphere
when the equipment is installed, maintained or sent for disposal.
It is prohibited to deliberately release refrigerant into the
atmosphere. The operator must ensure that any refrigerant
recovered is recycled, regenerated or destroyed.
The operator is bound by the obligation to perform periodical
sealing tests on the refrigerating circuit according to the
regulation (EU) No.517/2014
. Please, consult the frequency of
tests in chapter of “Maintenance”.
All interventions on the refrigerating circuit must be performed
in accordance with applicable legislation. Within the European
Union, it is necessary to observe regulation (EU) No.517/2014,
known as F-Gas, over Certain greenhouse e
ff
ect

gases.
Important: These units contain R-410A , a fluorinated
greenhouse gas covered by the Kyoto protocol.
