maintenance operations.
Note:
Some units are dormant in standby mode and can restart without warning if they are not
electrically isolated.

Air conditioning equipment may generate unacceptable noise levels. If noise levels are
unacceptable sound and vibration attenuators may be required. For noise level guidance refer to
technical literature, or contact the supplier for advice.
