Safety precautions
Caution
Install the system in full accordance with this installation
manual.
Incorrect installation can cause bursts, personal injury, water
leaks, refrigerant leaks, electric shocks and fire.
Observe the measurement values before working on the
cooling system, especially when installing in small rooms, so
that the limit for the refrigerant's density is not exceeded.
Consult an expert to interpret the measurement values. If the
refrigerant density exceeds the limit, lack of oxygen can occur in
the event of any leak, which can cause serious accidents.
Use original accessories and the stated components for the
installation.
If parts other than those stated by us are used, water leaks, electric
shocks, fire and personal injury may occur as the unit may not
work properly.
Ventilate the working area well – refrigerant leakage may
occur during service work.
If the refrigerant comes into contact with naked flames, poisonous
gas is created.
Install the unit in a location with good support.
Unsuitable installation locations can cause the unit to fall and
cause material damage and personal injury. Installation without
sufficient support can also cause vibrations and noise.
Ensure that the unit is stable when installed, so that it can
withstand earthquakes and strong winds.
Unsuitable installation locations can cause the unit to fall and
cause material damage and personal injury.
The electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified
electrician and the system must be connected as a separate
circuit.
Power supply with insufficient capacity and incorrect function
can cause electric shocks and fire.
Use the stated cables for the electrical connection, tighten
the cables securely in the terminal blocks and relieve the
wiring correctly to prevent overloading the terminal blocks.
Loose connections or cable mountings can cause abnormal heat
production or fire.
Check, after completed installation or service, that no refri-
gerant leaks from the system in gas form.
If refrigerant gas leaks into the house and comes into contact
with an aerotemp, an oven or other hot surface, poisonous gases
are produced.
Switch off the compressor before opening/breaching the
refrigerant circuit.
If the refrigerant circuit is breached /opened whilst the com-
pressor is running, air can enter the process circuit. This can cause
unusually high pressure in the process circuit, which can cause
bursts and personal injury.
Switch off the power supply in the event of a service or in-
spection.
If the power supply is not shut off, there is a risk of electric shocks
and damage due to the rotating fan.
Do not run the unit with removed panels or protection.
Touching rotating equipment, hot surfaces or high voltage parts
can cause personal injury due to entrapment, burns or electric
shocks.
Cut the power before starting electrical work.
Failure to cut the power can cause electric shocks, damage and
incorrect function of the equipment.
Care
Carry out the electrical installation with care.
Do not connect the ground lead to the gas line, water line,
lightning conductor or telephone line's ground lead. Incorrect
grounding can cause unit faults such as electric shocks due to
short-circuiting.
Use main switch with sufficient breaking capacity.
If the switch does not have sufficient breaking capacity, malfunc-
tions and fire can occur.
Always use a fuse with the correct rating in the locations
where fuses are to be used.
Connecting the unit with copper wire or other metal thread can
cause unit breakdown and fire.
Cables must be routed so that they are not damaged by
metal edges or trapped by panels.
Incorrect installation can cause electric shocks, heat generation
and fire.
Do not install the unit in close proximity to locations where
leakage of combustible gases can occur.
If leaking gases collect around the unit, fire may occur.
Do not install the unit where corrosive gas (for example ni-
trous fumes) or combustible gas or steam (for example
thinner and petroleum gases) can build up or collect, or where
volatile combustible substances are handled.
Corrosive gas can cause corrosion to the heat exchanger, breaks
in plastic parts etc. and combustible gas or steam can cause fire.
Do not use the unit where water splashes may occur, for ex-
ample in laundries.
The indoor section is not waterproof and electric shocks and fire
can therefore occur.
Do not use the unit for specialist purposes such as for storing
food, cooling precision instruments, freeze-conservation of
animals, plants or art.
This can damage the items.
Do not install and use the system close to equipment that
generates electromagnetic fields or high frequency harmon-
ics.
Equipment such as inverters, standby sets, medical high frequency
equipment and telecommunications equipment can affect the
unit and cause malfunctions and breakdowns. The unit can also
affect medical equipment and telecommunications equipment,
so that it functions incorrectly or not at all.
Do not install the outdoor unit in the locations stated below.
- Locations where leakage of combustible gas can occur.
- Locations where carbon fibre, metal powder or other powder
that can enter the air.
- Locations where substances that can affect the unit, for example,
sulphide gas, chlorine, acid or alkaline substances can occur.
- Locations with direct exposure to oil mist or steam.
- Vehicles and ships.
- Locations where machines that generate high frequency har-
monics are used.
- Locations where cosmetic or special sprays are often used.
- Locations that can be subjected to direct salty atmospheres. In
this case, the outdoor unit must be protected against direct in-
takes of salty air.
- Locations where large amounts of snow occur.
- Locations where the system is exposed to chimney smoke.
If the bottom frame of the outdoor section is corroded, or in
any other way damaged, due to long periods of operation,
it must not be used.
Using an old and damaged frame can cause the unit to fall and
cause personal injury.
If soldering near the unit, ensure that solder residue does
not damage the drip tray.
If solder residue enters the unit during soldering, small holes can
appear in the tray resulting in water leakage. To prevent damage,
keep the indoor unit in its packing or cover it.
Do not allow the drainage pipe to exit into channels where
poisonous gases, containing sulphides for example, can occur.
If the pipe exits into such a channel, any poisonous gases will
flow into the room and seriously affect the user's health and
safety.
Insulate the unit's connection pipes so that the ambient air
moisture does not condense on them.
Insufficient insulation can cause condensation, which can lead
to moisture damage on the roof, floor, furniture and valuable
personal property.
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location where insects
and small animals can inhabit.
