APPENDIX 1
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COMPRESSOR
INSTALLATION
Failure to shut down the mains compressor during maintenance procedures and to apply
a system without a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD),
according to the country technical requirements, may cause serious physical hazards by
electric shock and/or fire to the technician.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Only trained personnel can perform diagnostic and maintenance procedures on
refrigeration systems.
Installation and repair requires special training, technical information, special tools and
special equipment.
Make sure in advance if the environment for maintenance is adequate and airy.
Tools and process equipment should be available. The required Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) must be used by the technician.
Before starting maintenance or diagnostics, first make sure that the cooling system is
disconnected from the mains.
After disconnecting the system from the mains, wait for the compressor to cool
down. Only perform maintenance or diagnostic procedures with the cold compressor
(25 ° C ± 5 ° C).
The compressors shall be powered only in electrical installations with a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) circuit breakers or residual current device (RCD), according to
the country technical requirement.
Correct grounding is required for the use of compressors.
