Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum
working pressure of the unit (see "PS High" on the unit name
plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
5.3.2
Refrigerant piping insulation
▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035
and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C

If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher
than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at
least 20 mm to prevent condensation on the surface of the
insulation.

WARNING
▪ If the power supply has a missing or wrong N-phase,
equipment might break down.
▪ Establish proper earthing. Do NOT earth the unit to a
utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earthing may cause electrical shock.
▪ Install the required fuses or circuit breakers.
▪ Secure the electrical wiring with cable ties so that the
cables do NOT come in contact with sharp edges or
piping, particularly on the high-pressure side.
▪ Do NOT use taped wires, stranded conductor wires,
extension cords, or connections from a star system.
They can cause overheating, electrical shock or fire.
▪ Do NOT install a phase advancing capacitor, because
this unit is equipped with an inverter. A phase
advancing capacitor will reduce performance and may
cause accidents.
WARNING
▪ All wiring MUST be performed by an authorised
electrician and MUST comply with the applicable
legislation.
▪ Make electrical connections to the fixed wiring.
▪ All components procured on-site and all electrical
construction MUST comply with the applicable
legislation.
WARNING
ALWAYS use multicore cable for power supply cables.

install the system.
Typical workflow
Installation typically consists of the following stages:
1
Opening the unit
2
Mounting the outdoor unit
3
Connecting the refrigerant piping
4
Checking the refrigerant piping
5
Charging refrigerant
6
Connecting the electrical wiring
7
Finishing the outdoor unit installation
6.2
Opening the units
6.2.1
About opening the units
At certain times, you have to open the unit.
Example:
▪ When connecting the refrigerant piping
▪ When connecting the electrical wiring
▪ When maintaining or servicing the unit
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service cover
is removed.
