SECTION 1 - GENERAL CHILLER INFORMATION AND SAFETY
FORM 201.23-NM2
ISSUE DATE: 09/25/2020

Pressure Systems
The unit contains refrigerant vapor and liquid under
pressure, release of which can be a danger and cause
injury. The user should ensure that care is taken during
installation, operation and maintenance to avoid dam-
age to the pressure system. No attempt should be made
to gain access to the component parts of the pressure
system other than by suitably trained and qualified per-
sonnel.
Electrical
The unit must be grounded. No installation or main-
tenance work should be attempted on the electrical
equipment without first switching power OFF, isolat-
ing and locking-off the power supply. Servicing and
maintenance on live equipment must not be attempted.
No attempt should be made to gain access to the con-
trol panel or electrical enclosures during normal opera-
tion of the unit.
Rotating Parts
Fan guards must be fitted at all times and not removed
unless the power supply has been isolated. If ductwork
is to be fitted, requiring the wire fan guards to be re-
moved, alternative safety measures must be taken to
protect against the risk of injury from rotating fans.
Sharp Edges
The fins on the air-cooled condenser coils have sharp
metal edges. Reasonable care should be taken when
working in contact with the coils to avoid the risk of
minor abrasions and lacerations. The use of gloves is
recommended.
Frame rails, brakes, and other components may also
have sharp edges. Reasonable care should be taken
when working in contact with any components to avoid
risk of minor abrasions and lacerations.
Refrigerants and Oils
Refrigerants and oils used in the unit are generally non-
toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive, and pose no
special safety hazards. Use of gloves and safety glasses
is, however, recommended when working on the unit.
The buildup of refrigerant vapor, from a leak for ex-
ample, does pose a risk of asphyxiation in confined or
enclosed spaces and attention should be given to good
ventilation.
Use only the refrigerant specifically designated for the
unit. Any other type of refrigerant may cause damage
to the equipment and will void the warranty.
High Temperature and Pressure Cleaning
High temperature and pressure cleaning methods
(e.g. steam cleaning) should not be used on any part
of the pressure system as this may cause operation of
the pressure relief device(s). Detergents and solvents,
which may cause corrosion, should also be avoided.
Emergency Shutdown
In case of emergency, the control panel is fitted with a
UNIT switch to stop the unit in an emergency. When
operated, it removes the low voltage 120VAC elec-
trical supply from the inverter system, thus shutting
down the unit.
