EHY32AA
Daikin Altherma hybrid monobloc – Gas boiler module
4P538953-1 – 2018.06
▪ In places where there is machinery that emits electromagnetic
waves. Electromagnetic waves may disturb the control system,
and cause malfunction of the equipment.
▪ In places where there is a risk of fire due to the leakage of
flammable gases (example: thinner or gasoline), carbon fibre,
ignitable dust.
▪ In places where corrosive gas (example: sulphurous acid gas) is
produced. Corrosion of copper pipes or soldered parts may cause
the refrigerant to leak.
▪ In bathrooms.
▪ In places where frost is possible. The ambient temperature around
the gas boiler should be >5°C.
3.2.3
Water
If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide
of your application for more information.
NOTICE
Make sure water quality complies with EU directive
98/83 EC.
Avoid damages caused by deposits and corrosion. To prevent
corrosion products and deposits, observe the applicable regulations
of technology.
Measures for desalination, softening or hardness stabilization are
necessary if the filling and top-up water have a high total hardness
(>3 mmol/l–sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations,
calculated as calcium carbonate).
Using filling water and top-up water which does NOT meet the stated
quality requirements can cause a considerably reduced service life
of the equipment. The responsibility for this is entirely that of the
user.
3.2.4
Electrical
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
▪ Turn OFF all power supply before removing the
switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or
touching electrical parts.
▪ Disconnect the power supply for more than 1 minute,
and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit
capacitors or electrical components before servicing.
The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you
can touch electrical components. For the location of the
terminals, see the wiring diagram.
▪ Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.
▪ Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service
cover is removed.
WARNING
If NOT factory installed, a main switch or other means for
disconnection, having a contact separation in all poles
providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III
condition, MUST be installed in the fixed wiring.
WARNING
▪ ONLY use copper wires.
▪ Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable
legislation.
▪ All field wiring MUST be performed in accordance with
the wiring diagram supplied with the product.
▪ NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they
do NOT come in contact with the piping and sharp
edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the
terminal connections.
▪ Make sure to install earth wiring. Do NOT earth the unit
to a utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth.
Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock.
▪ Make sure to use a dedicated power circuit. NEVER
use a power supply shared by another appliance.
▪ Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit
breakers.
▪ Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure
to do so may cause electric shock or fire.
▪ When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure
it is compatible with the inverter (resistant to high
frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening
of the earth leakage protector.
CAUTION
When connecting the power supply, the earth connection
must be made before the current-carrying connections are
established. When disconnecting the power supply, the
current-carrying connections must be separated before the
earth connection is. The length of the conductors between
the power supply stress relief and the terminal block itself
must be as such that the current-carrying wires are
tautened before the earth wire is in case the power supply
is pulled loose from the stress relief.
NOTICE
Precautions when laying power wiring:
▪ Do NOT connect wiring of different thicknesses to the
power terminal block (slack in the power wiring may
cause abnormal heat).
▪ When connecting wiring which is the same thickness,
do as shown in the figure above.
▪ For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect
firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being
exerted on the terminal board.
▪ Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the
terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will
damage the head and make proper tightening
impossible.
▪ Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.
Install power cables at least 1 metre away from televisions or radios
to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of
1 metre may not be sufficient.
