Q
Name, address and day and night telephone numbers for
obtaining service
In Europe, EN378 provides the necessary guidance for this logbook.
2.2.2 Installation site
Q
Provide sufficient space around the unit for servicing and air
circulation.
Q
Make sure the installation site withstands the unit’s weight and
vibration.
Q
Make sure the area is well ventilated.
Q
Make sure the unit is level.
Do NOT install the unit in the following places:
Q
In potentially explosive atmospheres.
Q
In places where there is machinery that emits electromagnetic
waves. Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system,
and cause malfunction of the equipment.
Q
In places where there is a risk of fire due to the leakage of
flammable gases (example: thinner or gasoline), carbon fibre,
ignitable dust.
Q
In places where corrosive gas (example: sulphurous acid gas) is
produced. Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may
cause the refrigerant to leak.

subjected to stress.
WARNING
During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a
pressure higher than the maximum allowable pressure (as
indicated on the nameplate of the unit).
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If
refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately.
Possible risks:
Q
Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room
can lead to oxygen deficiency.

Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes
into contact with fire.
WARNING
Always recover the refrigerants. Do NOT release them
directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to
evacuate the installation.
