2.1 UNICO BOILER MASTER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
To obtain the best results and optimum performance, follow the instructions for correct installation provided in this manual. Failure
to follow the instructions and apply the rules indicated may cause malfunction of the appliance and relieves the manufacturer,
OLIMPIA SPLENDID
of any form of guarantee and liability for damages to persons, animals or property.
The electrical system must comply with the regulations and rating data in the technical sheet, with good grounding.
2.1.1 Size and specifications of the room in which to install the air conditioner
Before installing the air conditioner, it is essential to make an accurate calculation of the heat load in summer (and cold load in
winter for models with heating pump) at the site of installation.
The more accurate this calculation is made the better the air conditioner will be able to do its job.
When executing the calculations, refer directly to the prevailing standards.
For particularly important applications, we recommend contacting expert heating engineers.
The user should try to limit high heat loads as much as possible as follows: glass doors and windows exposed to many hours of
sunlight should be fitted on the inside with curtains or, even better, on the outside with coverings such as Venetian blinds, verandahs,
refractive film, etc.). The air-conditioned room must remain closed as long as possible.
Halogen spotlights or other electrical equipment with high power consumption should not be used in the room (toasters, steam
irons, hot plates for cooking, etc.).
2.1.2 Choosing the position of the unit (fig. 5)
In order to achieve best performance and avoid breakdowns or hazardous conditions, the unit’s installation position must meet the
dimensional requirements illustrated in fig. 5.
- The wall on which the inside unit is installed must be sturdy and able to withstand its weight.
- It must be possible to leave room around the unit for any maintenance operations that may be necessary.
- Nothing should be in the way of the air that needs to circulate both on the top air-intake (curtains, plants, furniture) and at the
front where the air exits. This could cause air swirls that would inhibit the working efficiency of the unit.
The air conditioner must be installed on a wall that communicates with the outside.
CAUTION: after determining the best place for installation as described above, check for the absence of other structures
or systems (beams, piers, pipes, wires, etc.) at the points where the holes are to be drilled, which would prevent drilling
the holes required to install the unit.
Check again to make sure there are no obstacles to air circulation through the holes to be drilled due to plants and their
leaves, slats or panelling, blinds, gratings or grids too dense, etc.).
WARNINGS
(fig. 6)
:
- it should not be placed under curtains;
- do not spray water or other liquids of any kind directly on the unit;
- it should not be installed in a position where the air flow can directly strike people in the whereabouts.
- never force the opening of the airflow flap;
- do not place bottles, cans, clothing, flowers or any other object that may damage the internal organs on the air aspiration grill
or anything that may even partially obstruct the grill itself;
- it should not be directly over another appliance (television set, radio, refrigerator, etc.), or over a source of heat.
2.1.3 Unit assembly
2.1.4 Warning
The maximum length allowed for pipes is 1 m. The pipes must be smooth on the inside, and with a diameter of 202 mm. Pipes
cannot be curved or bent.
It is necessary to use the grilles provided, or grilles which keep the same features.
2.1.5 Drilling the wall
Install the unit by drilling two holes (diameter of either 162 mm or 202 mm) in the wall as indicated in the drilling template.
The 202 mm holes will ensure best performance and utmost noiselessness.
The UNICO unit may be installed in lieu of a UNICO SKY or UNICO STAR unit without changing the position of the existing holes,
with the exception of the small hole for condensate drainage. In this case, in order not to penalize performance, remove the insulating
material from the air outlet pipe. Drill the wall using the proper tools to facilitate your job and prevent excess damage or disturbance
to your client. The best tools for drilling large holes in walls are special drills called core borers with very high twisting torque and
adjustable rotating speed depending on the diameter of the hole to be drilled. To prevent the creation of large amounts of dust and
rubble due to drilling, the core borer can be fitted with a vacuum system applied by means of suction cups to the drilling zone.
To drill the holes, proceed as follows:
