CAUTION
Use clean water that meets local quality standards on the primary circuit.
The outdoor unit should be installed in an area with sufficient airflow according to the diagrams in the outdoor unit installation manual.
The hydrobox should be located inside to minimise heat loss.
Water pipe-runs on the primary circuit between outdoor and indoor unit should be kept to a minimum to reduce heat loss.
Ensure condensate from outdoor unit is piped away from the base to avoid puddles of water.
Remove as much air as possible from water circuit.
Refrigerant leakage may cause suffocation. Provide ventilation in accordance with EN378-1.
Be sure to wrap insulation around the piping. Direct contact with the bare piping may result in burns or frostbite.
Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason to avoid accidental ingestion.
Battery ingestion may cause choking and/or poisoning.
Install the unit on a rigid structure to prevent excessive sound or vibration during operation.
If power to the hydrobox is to be turned off (or system switched off) for a long time, the water should be drained.
Preventative measures should be taken against water hammer, such as installing a Water Hammer Arrestor on the primary water circuit, as directed by the man
-
ufacturer.
In order to prevent condensation on emitters, adjust flow temperature appropriately and also set the lower limit of the flow temperature on site.
<Using R410A refrigerant heat pumps>
Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Make sure the insides of the pipes are clean and
do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust. Use pipes with the specified thickness. (Refer to 4.4 in the instal
-
lation manual.) Note the following if reusing existing pipes that carried R22 refrigerant.
- Replace the existing flare nuts and flare the flared sections again.
- Do not use thin pipes. (Refer to 4.4
in the installation manual.
)
Store the pipes to be used during installation indoors and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before brazing. (Leave elbow joints, etc. in their packag
-
ing.) If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, oil deterioration or compressor breakdown may result.
Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration oil applied to the flared sections. If mineral oil is mixed in the refrigeration oil, oil dete
-
rioration may result.
Do not use refrigerant other than R410A refrigerant. If another refrigerant is used, the chlorine will cause the oil to deteriorate.
Use the following tools specifically designed for use with R410A refrigerant. The following tools are necessary to use R410A refrigerant. Contact your nearest
dealer for any questions.
Tools (for R410A)
Gauge manifold
Flare tool
Charge hose
Size adjustment gauge
Gas leak detector
Vacuum pump adapter
Torque wrench
Electronic refrigerant charging scale
Be sure to use the correct tools. If dust, debris, or moisture enters the refrigerant lines, refrigeration oil deterioration may result.
Do not use a charging cylinder, a cylindrical measuring container, when charging R410A refrigerant gas. If the refrigerant gas is transferred to a charging cylinder,
the composition of the refrigerant will change and system efficiency will be reduced.
As for the handling of refrigerant, refer to the outdoor unit installation manual.
